It also trivializes the 1 second TTK in most cases, which is just sad. Math exists, and when I watch most top players going only for body shots and coming out on top, I know that gun game is certainly not the issue.

So, my post stands.

If you want to be able to eat round after round of bullets and survive skill into a heavy suit. I think TTK is on point and if you feel this is a twitch shooter now pop COD for a day then come back, you'll see what a real twitch shooter is and realize TTK isn't that bad.

Despite having one too many Arrogance Enhancement Modules equipped, the OP is pretty much balls on with his premise. I am a pretty average player so I went Logistics early just so I could contribute more to my team and help compensate my payouts because I rarely rack up a lot of kills. I have good games and bad.

Others I know who have mediocre gun game went into vehicles or Heavy class or sniping.

Bottom-line is no amount of nerfing, buffing, removing or including is going make much of a difference. The good players will adapt and remain good, the mediocre players will remain mediocre and the bad players will still be bad players. Dem's the breaks.

I just wish the Community stopped putting so much pressure out there on complete balance, when there is some much still missing in the game. We did it with dropsuits, even though all racial variants are not in-game. We do it with weapons, constantly even though all racial variants are not in-game. We do it with vehicles, even though all racial variants are not in-game.

Wouldn't it be more productive if we all just kept pushing for content, instead of continuously distracting the game's development with balance issues that are never going to be right until all the base weapons, gear and vehicles can be utilized in combat. If we put our collective bitching into demands for all racial variants items, more maps and for god's sake more game modes, I for one would be a lot happier with the progress of Dust 514. Because right now, balance is pretty much a waste of time. It changes every Update and every time something else is removed or introduced into the game.

That's hilarious again people lets use tactics here. I occasionaly run a BPO heavy with STD HMG and the ONLY time I die is when I'm doing something stupid like running around in the open or I run into a bigger badder heavy with actual skills in his suit. That or grenade spam :)

Sentinel means watch tower, IE stand in one ******* place and watch it. You want to run around? Skill into Scout or Assault. Its not my fault you can't move too well, every map has one location that is specifically for heavies. Look around and figure it out.

Just because I have a different opinion than you doesn't make me a noob.

It's the way the game is designed. If you speed tank your proto heavy you have a glass canon that is still blind as **** passively, has no equipment slots and a giant hit box, not to mention you're a huge ******* red dot visible to everyone. Hrm... lets see what should I do run around and hack objectives or stand at one and defend a small area where I can see what's coming?

You chose the suit, if you choose to play a style that isn't necessarily the best fit for that suit then you shouldn't get on the forums and ***** about TTK. You probably try to play the heavy like an assault suit and get repeatedly raped out in the open.

Just using logic here guys why's that so hard to see? The heavy suit is limited in passive scan, limited in speed, has a huge hit box, you can't lay any equipment so can't infiltrate somewhere with a droplink or a scan. If you only play heavy it just makes more sense to stand in one area and play defense. You mentioned speed tanking the heavy but you still have no strafe speed and that giant hit box. It just makes sense...


I also don't think TTK is an issue. It's not as bad as COD, the only time you die instantly is if you're standing completely still and every bullet is hitting you. Plus there's plenty of times two or three guys are shooting you and you probably don't realize it. There's plenty of times I'm battling a AR and get eaten up real fast then I look at the kill feed and see a Sniper killed me or that the AR did very little damage so something else was hitting me too.

I think TTK is fine and I think most heavies don't play their suit the most effective way. That's my opinion call me a scrub after we play.

We have entirely different views on how heavies should run. I believe a good heavy relies upon a good logi. I play a logi not a medic but an infiltrator logi. Ups, hives, n scan. When I do run the BPO heavy I have, I make sure that I already have hives and a uplink down in that area and sometimes I'll have my buddy who's a dedicated medic with me. We stick to areas that are setup for camping. Basically the enclosed points. I have a lot of success that way with a less than 20k heavy suit with the main cost being core locus grenades.

Another problem that a lot of new people need to work on is defense in general. So many times a team will have the lead and instead of just playing defense they lose an objective by trying to push another. Sometimes I say **** it this is my house and no one is coming in it and just dedicate myself to one area.
