My suggestion is to not balance based on tactics that only work against horrible pub teams.

Place a 5 minute timer after the loss of a heavy suit before it can be spawned, this would for more tactical use of the heavy rather than using it as a wrecking ball of flaming ****. Similarly this should apply to tanks but slightly longer....

Congratulations on having the single worst idea I have ever heard on these forums.

I'm sorry but tell me a game where you can spawn a suit like the heavy constantly? None. Every FPS out there that has a suit similar to how a heavy plays either has a limit to it, or is given as perk for doing well.

Battlefield, tanks can only be spawned every so often. The HMG is only picked up randomly from certain spawn locations.

COD HMG is given from kill streaks.

Planetside max suit has a 10 minute timer. Tanks have a timer also.

Crysis nanosuit armor is a kill streak.

Blacklight: retribution heavy suit has to be bought and called in every time.

Single worst idea yet it's used in every games that has the feature. Go be a **** some were else.

oh cod scrubs how they plague dust 514 and dont understand mmo's

Some people complain about the HMGs range but at 47 meters it's still doing around 300 dps. Of course it doesn't even have to opt to using the HMG I can always use a Light weapon. There is also the speed but that's only if the suit is playing it's role at point defense, but the suit like any other suit can just drop an LAV and mitigate it's speed disadvantage. In 1.8 the heavy suit gets plenty of love but it has no disadvantages to its use and it can easily be spammed? Similarly to a tank, to just destroy other players. Everything I said above is not saying the heavy is OP, if the heavy suit was used in the role it is meant for then it would be perfect and if people didn't have the tendency to just use the item that will farm them the most kills without putting themselves in danger. .. My suggestion is disallow heavy suits from driving vehicles but they can get in vehicles driven by other players. This allows for proper deployment without removing the heavies speed penalty. Add a small 1.5 second timer before you can get in a vehicle, when approach your vehicle you have to wait 1.5 seconds before the button to enter activates. Place a 5 minute timer after the loss of a heavy suit before it can be spawned, this would for more tactical use of the heavy rather than using it as a wrecking ball of flaming ****. Similarly this should apply to tanks but slightly longer.... For the Federation!

Maybe it goes a little to far but whenever a heavy suit is not use as intended it just becomes a steam roller. With the TTK changes and the massive buff to their HP they will literally be walking tanks. Which of course is their intended role and that is fine, but like I said when they are not playing to their role is just breaks them. For the Federation!

Now what does that mean for dust a fps mmo(soon tm) that means that the heavy fulfills its intended role. This isnt cod or battlefield were all weapons do the same amount of damage and kill at just about the same time. In dust we want a challenge something that keeps us here and is why we stay. If you have your role then you use it dont go running around saying how much cod battlefield or planetside 2 is better or just go back to them doesnt matter to me. Stop be a little girl and grow some American balls and face the challenge head on. ( not like our current gov more like the 1940's american balls) why are people so narrow minded I never said they were better I only mentioned a feature they had to avoid heavy spam.
