Since the only way to get up to these towers was with a Dropship, and since FGs would wreck these Dropships, there wasn't really anything to do about 4 FGunners on top of a tower raining down hell on you. The present RE situation is similar, because there is no effective counter. There's no Counter Play involved, because there's nothing I can do to react effectively, no way to think around it. I'm just immediately dead.
That's ridiculous, man. You're actually comparing 4 guys with forge guns on the top of a tower that no one can even get to without a dropship (that can be shot out of the air easily) to two people on ground level but one has insta-killed the other, and potentially suicided in the process?
Your options:
1.) Don't be walking around blind corners if you are a heavy alone. You can't pick up jack on your passive scans and you glow like a beacon. Scouts hunt heavies - be aware of this. You're not some walking invincible god that can throw caution and situational awareness to the wind.
2.) Stick with someone with a good active scanner and use it to keep your area secure. Work as a team - isn't that supposedly a heavy thing anyway?
3.) Back up and shoot when you see some madman running at you.
4.) Turn around, run and hope for the best.
Admittedly the last two may not work but then again sometimes may. And you have way more options than some grunt on the ground dealing with 4 tower forge gun pansies.
RE's have a delay, and they are working as they should, perhaps with the exception of the detonate on bleed-out thing, but even that I'm not too sure about. They can be seen, avoided and they are a high-risk way to get kills if used as "grenades" since they can't be thrown far.
Watch out for those nova knives too.... and those scrambler pistol headshots.
EDIT: you know what - kudos to that dude that got you. That took sac. Try facing down some dude in a heavy suit with some HMG or rifle as some puny grunt running with a remote and a hail mary.... a well deserved kill in my book. I'm gonna go kill some heavies now. |

*facepalm* Ah the typical tactic of a defeated 'debater' with no valid retort.... ignore anything relevant in the post and throw up some ill-conceived 'opinion' with no logic behind it.

Just skipped the entire point where I gave you ways to react effectively and 'think around it'.... gg, scrubby heavy dude. You got no skills when it comes to gameplay or information processing.
You are my favorite kind of opponent. |
