If heavies/sentinels want to equip light weapons they need spec into the commando role. Otherwise remove the commando role because it's pointless. |

Sentinl Heavy => Defensive and AV. Commando Heavy => Heavy DPS.

2 light weapons you say, at the cost of slots and a substantial amount of hp you say.

Commando = versatility not dps, besides, heavy guns should out dps lights by a decent margin anyways.

If they would give Heavy's as many choices in 'H' heavy weapons as Assaults have in 'L' light weapons, then why not.

Of course, if you were trying to link my statement to Mordecai's (who's a different person, despite the same avatar), he apparently thinks that the HMG doesn't count as heavy DPS.

I was highlighting that an extra light weapon slot instead does not offset the shortcomings when compared to the sentinel suit that players are using as a commando. |

I will agree only when CCP will give to them new weapons. Play only with 2 kind of weapons for more than 1 year it's boring.
1.8 it's so secret that nobody know what will be in it, even after patch notes...

Sentinels can only be heavier, slower assault suits. They can't be Commandos.

That's nice in theory but it's not the reality of things, when comparable setups using sidearms can be achieved. |

Exactly. Also, does this mean that all light weapon slots must be unable to be filled with sidearms? Sorry Logis who just wanted an SMG to save on fittings!
Anyway, now that the HMG works again, I don't get why I still see heavies up close using ARs and CRs. The HMG is waaaaaay more lethal in it's optimal. Of course I can understand just wanting to mix it up once in a while. Which again, you shouldn't be disallowed from doing just because you're a heavy.

Heavies are very, very slow. If you have more than one person shooting them they will die very quickly. Let them equip whatever weapon they want but don't try and go up against them 1 v 1.

No. Let them fit a light weapon on a heavy slot if they want. If you want to take that away from them, you might as well take away my ability to fit an SMG or nova knife on the light slot. Either way, hell no.
OK, CCP. When are knives finally going to be improved?

Edit: A race lock is actually something that I wouldn't dislike. But a restriction of H slots to H weapons is ridiculous. This game doesn't use a module system for no reason. What if I want to be a heavy sniper? Or a heavy shotgunner? Or a scout with a plasma cannon? The size of the slot determines MAXIMUM loadout, not specific loadout. Actually, an H slot with a non-H weapon should get more max ammo. |

The Commando suit looks very useful, loads only average gear due to limited CPU/PG and finally it has not great performances because it's stripped of shields/armors while having base values reduced if compared to a Sentinel.
Yet, I easily understand who chooses to use a "L" weapon because the HMG and the FG cannot cover all the situations, I hope new heavy weapons shall solve this problem.
If you are an hacker, a cheater o a glitcher, you deserve death. In real life.

Should Logis be forced to only use Light weapons as well? Should Scouts be unable to use any equipment other than scanners? Should every dropsuit come with preset mods that can't be customized?

Because of balance is that I don't think heavies should be able to carry light weapons. Everything in this game has a purpose or least it is supposed to. The purpose of the heavy should be to carry heavy weapons. I know that there are only 2 heavy weapons available in the game right now. That is why CCP needs to released the remaining navy weapons. If you want to be a navy carrying light weapon than you need to go commando. That is the purpose of the commando. Of course, this is just my opinion and I am not very smart. |

You're at least not very well informed. The Commando gets not one, but two light weapons. That is the point of the commando. Versatility and being well-rounded.

Or at least efficiency/effectiveness bonuses for the race that designed them (while wearing a matching racial suit). |
