Heavies with light weapons as their primary. Yes you guessed it. # Grins  #
Personally I think it is a creative part of DUST. I don't want to see it removed or anything however I can't help but notice that a lot more people are running around on the battlefield with this type of setup now.
What does it mean?
To me it means that speed is a non-factor so much now. Also it says to me max HP is king. (Or at least people think that way).
I was curious if others have noticed this strange but oh so EVE-like turn of events?
P.S - I realise people have done this since forever, I just think it is only now that I am seeing squads of light gunner heavies with logis. A viable tactic it seems. |

I think it's stupid.
The fact that someone needs that much HP to be good.....*sigh*
But I can easily strafe around them and tear a hole in them with my Combat Rifle, so I don't really care.

When you have rifles that can deal 640 DPS, HP is all that matters.
Which is why every automatic weapon (bar HMGs and SMGs) need to be nerfed to h#ll.

yeah, we've all noticed it. very annoying, but whatever.
but hey, what can you expect? they only have 2 "heavy" weapons, and i think that anybody would get bored if they were restricted to 2 guns, so until every heavy weapon comes out, let them use light weapons i suppose.

The problem is that most of these Heavy suit Light Weapon scrubs are not real heavies, they just use it so they can be relevant with a **** ton of HP

I have to say I agree with you guys above me.
I see the logic but I also see how restrictive the heavy suit is for movement. However I don't get any aim assist using the KB/M so I guess I cannot use the Heavy with a light weapon to full effect.
It is interesting to note that you have all noticed the increase in heavies with light weapons too. hummmm. |

It's a good thing they can't strafe, because a scout with a good Flux & Combat Rifle combo will eat them for breakfast.

You hit the nail on the head. I don't have a problem at all with this I just think it signifies that something is up. If you catch my drift.
I especially notice LAV drivers using the heavy suit and jumping out right next to you with either the HMG or jumping out at range using a RR or what ever other rifle of choice. |

It makes me butthurt 1200 HP vs a 500 suit, and the most annoying part is when you get them down to 100 HP and that damn RR just shoots you in the toe and you die to a bs tactic.
Heavy with a heavy weapon I'll accept but an heavy with a light weapon makes me want to murder all kittens and send a photo of it to Cat merc.

To me, it seems like that means heavy weapons are under-performing.
Just like how I interpreted heavy-carting LAVs in the past as a sign that small turrets are under-performing.

Sorry to keep posting like this - however that is something else I have noticed as of late. Scouts with rifles. Its a strange thing but I can totally understand why they do this now.
Back in chromosome it was all about the shotgun however I see the SG has kinda' fallen out of favour with most scouts. |

Don't worry about it, I do it all the time.
But Scouts with a Combat Rifle is definitely a MoTM. CRs are just far too good in CQC, but also have mid-range capabilities and massive DPS.
Shotguns are almost a non-factor. You can rip 2 shots into somebody and still die when they turn around and melt you with a rifle.

I too miss the logistics LAV`s. I actually used it to repair people and other tanks. I even managed to repair a few mercs shields in firefights with the Caldari LLAV. THAT was fun even if those situations were so few and far between.
I know this is well off topic but what is to happen to LLAV`s? |

pssh. i personally prefer the Viziam ScR Rifle, but i'm proto in all 4 rifles, so i just use what i'm in the mood for.
we use the rifles because shotguns are not very competitive, especially with this new sprinting bug. they are more of a fun weapon to use, but not to be used when facing stacked squads of AE and such.
