ANON Cerberus Tiny Toons 30	Posted - 2014.01.16 02:44:00 - [1] - Quote 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.

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.

Which is why every automatic weapon (bar HMGs and SMGs) need to be nerfed to h#ll. Creator of The AV Registry The Pilot's Whipin' Boy // DJINN Lukeoplast's alleged sock *FORGE MASTER RACE*
TranquilBiscuit ofVaLoR F.T.U. IMMORTAL REGIME 1220	Posted - 2014.01.16 02:47:00 - [4] - Quote 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 Winner of at least 9 King ThunderBolt hate videos :D
ANON Cerberus Tiny Toons 32	Posted - 2014.01.16 02:49:00 - [6] - Quote 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.

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.
Nocturnal Soul Immortal Retribution 1596	Posted - 2014.01.16 02:53:00 - [9] - Quote 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.

Scheneighnay McBob Learning Coalition College 3578	Posted - 2014.01.16 02:53:00 - [10] - Quote 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. We used to have a time machine

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.

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 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?
