But to need logibro for a weapon to be viable it's bad balance.

then i watch Preston from A.N.O.N.Y.M.O.U.S. get 20-30 every PC, destroying the best of players. so ya, GET GUD :p

Core locus for half his kills.

Anyone can sling grenades.

One could make an argument that he would be more effective in a medium frame because at least he could carry ammo or uplinks for the team.

Some people just need the HP pool to stay alive though.

Where the hell are you people getting this? Every once in a while Preston has someone repping him. Most of the time he's just a badass though. That dude is a beast. Plain and simple. Just more so with squad support. Like anyone else.

Next time you see Preston take a look at his armor. Just saying

the point of the heavy is to be the foundation of a terrifying cqc squad. the way to break this squad is to isolate the heavy, use your superior mobility to flank his cover and use your superior range pick him apart from range. don't try to make it into a solo suit. it's like saying the rep tool is UP because it's useless solo...

if you're trying to roam around in a heavy suit, ninja objectives and 1v1 mediums, well actually i say good luck to you because i love innovative play. but don't think you'll ever get buffs for that role.

that said, i agree HMG is up in cqc. increase dispersion, increase dps, add "cripple effect".

Yep, he is a beast.
Preston and Jacques Clayton are excellent measures of your 1-on-1 heavy abilities if you can catch them in a straight fight with no pesky mediums around.

Jacques Clayton is stupidly good.

When he tries.

I'll never forgive him for losing a FW for us by spamming his plasma cannon, doing nothing all game.

COMMANDO IS BAD AND YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD CLAYTON!

What I have seen is insane situational awareness, faster than normal heavy speed, and bad ass controlled fire of the HMG, but i die quick as i am noticed so my field observations are limited

yo once i saw this guy go 0 and 27 in a pub match with the Assault Rifle

so ya, the AR needs a buff i think

This is consistent play in PC, not lolPubs.

Reading comprehension

As a HMG heavy i think the heavy is good as it is. Only a couple things need to change.

1. HMG needs a buff. My HMG is only good because its the proto HMG with proficiency 5 and a complex damage mod. The HMG accuracy is fine as it has no spread when standing still, and enough when moving to hit strafing targets. But the lower level HMGs without proficiency maxed feel to weak, I would recomend a damage buff but the game already has had its ttk lowered so mabey this isnt a good idea, but then again it seems only the ARs are killing to fast.

2. Sentinal skills nedd to be changed. The current bonus of 5% less overheat damage to self per level is not only bad for skilled players, but its not even the amarr bonus, its the sentinal one that ALL sentinals get. IMO the sentinal bonus should be 3% damage reduction from light weapons, sidearms, and explosives per level.

3. MOAR HEAVY STUFF! We need the other racial dropsuits, not just for heavys but for scouts as well. We also need more heavy weapons so were not stuck with one weapon.

Not reading comprehension. It's statistical comprehension.

You don't base typical mileage off outliers.

It's like saying golfing is easy because you saw tiger woods get a birdie. Yes he can consistently do that, but is that a normal outcome?

I'm usually part of his logi support in PC. He actually tells us not to bring ammo hives because something else is usually more valuable, such as uplinks. He uses his grenades when he has them, true, but he's not one of those people who sit on hives or depots to do it. When he has have or a depot he probably does sometimes and I would too, but it's not how he ever intends to play. Keep guessing.

Preston is probably the best heavy left in the game. Even I admit he's probably better then me.

:( If youre not throwing core lucus, you're not really trying to win anything.

Almost any weapon can melt shields faster than the time it takes to cook a flux, and if you can cook a flux you could've cooked a locus and killed them.

Flux is only useful for destroying shields/equipment through walls.

Did I say he sits on a hive?

So then how about you respond to my post instead of just blindly jumping to your boys defense.

I'm not saying he is not good with an HMG, but he gets a good chunk of his kills from the grenades.
