I usually play Logi to support a squad but decided to try out a Heavy for the event. While it took a few matches to adjust (didn't take long to realise space was my enemy) I was having a hell of a time mowing people down. The ability to hold an objective solo, watching people turn a corner and flee as they hear my HMG spinning. Not to mention going toe-to-toe with another Heavy, listening to the sheer mass of bullets hitting us both. Causing so much mayhem in an area the enemy has to Zerg or OB you to turn the tide.

I am by no means saying I am a Heavy Pro, I am running a 10k MLT/Basic fit, died plenty and have more to learn about the role. Just wanted to share my new-found love for the role in the past few days. Even though I have only played Heavy for a few days, it has been enough to make me want to skill into Gallente Heavy come 1.8. Either as a second suit, or a third if we don't get a SP refund.

On a side note, why do people complain about the HMG? It works perfectly as it is, any more range and you might as well be firing a CR/RR. Oh............

yeh all the starter fits are having a HELL OF A TIME facing 5 or 6 heavies at once.

the spam has been unbearable but has made for some good games with the laser rifle

Oh............ people who say the HMG is broken now are silly but from Uprising 1.0-1.7 the HMG was extremely UP due to it having LR level accuracy thus rendering it useless for its intended role, a CQC meat grinder Thanks CCP for making the HMG Heavy viable again :3 That's no excuse to slack off on releasing a heavy laser though =.=
Aero Yassavi Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 6864	Posted - 2014.02.21 19:55:00 - [3] - Quote I don't usually run Sentinels either but have been having a good time during this event, you are right the mayhem is quite thrilling. That said, I am eager to hit those 1500 kills so I can start using some of my other stuff again. I'm a third of the way there. Mail me in game if interested in learning about the Amarr Empire and serving them in Faction Warfare. Amarr Victor!
Disturbingly Bored The Strontium Asylum 1679	Posted - 2014.02.21 20:12:00 - [4] - Quote We few dedicated fatties stuck with it only because it's fun. We weren't sticking in the fat suits for the regular release of new content over the last year, that's for sure. As for the HMG, the only people still complaining about it are the ones who didn't get the memo that it's fixed. The rest of us just want more than 2 heavy weapons, that's all. I used to own the FAT GAT until this --> [ASCII Art removed - *draconian forum overlord* CCP Logibro]

Im running pro aur sent. Im blowing through them like crazy making people rich. Thank you other heavies for dueling when we have the chance Adv. Commando, AR / swarm Adv. Sentinel, AR / HMG "I need More Ammo!!!"....."Medic!"
Supernus Gigas Star Giants 304	Posted - 2014.02.21 20:24:00 - [7] - Quote Been a heavy ever since I started playing over a year ago. HMG Prof Lv 4, Forge Gun Prof Lv 4, ADV Basic Frames, ADV Sentinels. The HMG sucked for the longest time, and I did end p deviating to scouts, medium frames, and assault rifles at one point regrettably. But ever since the HMG buff, I haven't used anything lighter than a Heavy suit(on my main that is, I've got a bunch of alts I mess around on though). *FIRE UP THE HEAVY MEAT GRINDER! WE'RE HAVIN' CLONE BURGERS TONIGHT, BOYS!*

Thank you other heavies for dueling when we have the chance I've been running solo too, just chasing the action or letting it come to me. Love meeting another heavy, had a 1on1 that started way out of range. Sprinting (well, waddling) towards each other, having to judge when to start firing. He won, I forgot to reload after my last fire-fight

Oh............ welcome to the Fat club, pull up a chair and have another dougnut. Heavy frame has been my only class for the past 16 months, it has not always been fun, untill 1.7, the hmg was crap, ccp gives us no love, but us dedicated heavys have stuck with it out of the pure joy that you are now experiencing.

Also I have been running a MLT/Basic Heavy while solo. Not like I'm stacking the odds is it?
