There's the godfather of this style of play, His played this style since beta , forgot his name though. Jack Boost? That's the one. Hated that fecker. I saw him with a TAR in his heavy suit a couple of months ago, so I think he's still around.
Yeh, he's still about. Haha, it was him that made me have a heavy AR combo ready for whenever I went up against him as his AR always bet my HMG  but when I matched him I've come out on top more than enough times
As to the whole conversation on whether heavies should be able to use light weapons I'm very much in the camp of they should be. Now fair enough, since I'm a heavy I'm a bit biased, but as others have pointed out they are so many drawbacks to suit I really don't see the issue with it.
Dust has a nice bit of flexibility to it through all the classes, with no one stuck purely to a set role. Obviously scouts can't do anything with their suits to resemble a heavy, and the same vica versa, although stacked complex kats on a sentinel have had medium suits think otherwise Mediums have the best of options being able to scout or tank, but miss qualities that other suits have.
Heavy weapons being limited to heavies is an possible issue that could be changed, but the fact that heavies have no equipment slot balances it in my view. And yep, if I'm big enough to handle a heavy weapon, then I should be able to use a light.
To those idiots that are mouthing off about players that use the heavy suit AR combo as being no skill scrubs, etc., try it yourselves. It's not easy to use regardless of skill. Yeh the eHP might look good on paper, but you'll get shredded fast even with skill. For some of us tubbies, it's just using options while still getting the benefit of the suits we've spent SP on. And those that just use the militia or the basic due to the eHP, let them off as they are fairly easy targets to deal with. |
