I saw him with a TAR in his heavy suit a couple of months ago, so I think he's still around.

From a tactical perception, it's pretty stupid. People can strafe the fudge outta you and you have a huge head that I can easily SMG-headshot while strafing.

Just curious on what everyone thinks about running into a heavy holding a duvolle or a SCR cause i think its just dumb.

People crying about heavies using ARs now? Is this a joke? STFU!

If the HMG was worth a damn then maybe it'll be a viable weapon over the AR... no? Too much logic? Yea that might be it...

Personally, and as I said before, if anyone needs that much EHP to be competitive they must suck hard.

I hate them.

Damn scrubs.....

Light weapons are bad for heavies because they run out of ammo quickly (besides the std scrambler)

So...unless they have a supply depot nearby, they have to rely on support in order to run light weapons. HMGs are better for solo play, but heavies should always have the option to use a light weapon.

1 - I stand corrected, some weapons in DUST can be more spray and pray than others, however the HMG is NOT one of those.

2 - Hey, combat helicopter pilots in AH-1 Cobras used the grease pencil method starting back in Vietnam and continued to do so until they got phased out by the army. If it works, it works.

3 - All the weapons ARE viable, the way YOU are trying to use them is NOT viable. There are countless videos out on YouTube where people demonstrate that the "oddball" weapons do in fact work when in the hands of someone who knows how to use them properly. Just because a newb to the game cannot just pick up a plasma cannon and start one shotting people, doesn't mean that it's not a viable weapon. It means that they either don't have the right play style for it, or they just need to learn to use it right.

4 - Whether someone uses one weapon or another is totally their CHOICE. I originally thought the starting scrambler pistol was a POS until someone showed me how to use it to own people. I originally found the mass driver to be very difficult to target, until I used it for a week straight and got the hang of it to where I could one shot guys at over 50 meters out in the open. After watching Ghazbaran (one of the guys featured in the dev blogs) use the plasma cannon, it makes me wanna skill it up and try it out. Everything is perfectly useful in the right hands in the right situations.

5 - No I'm still blaming you for not having patience or willingness to adapt, change, overcome, and conquer.

6 - I already said this is not those other FPSs and as such is a completely new game where each weapon has a different niche than in those games.

7 - Whether it is better or worse than some other game is an objective opinion that will vary from player to player. You may like how COD works, I like how DUST works. That's makes me different from you.
