Bah. [Scrambler Lance is] speculation only. There have been no official postings of such a thing, that I have found via search so far.
Only vague IRC claims by non-CCP people.
The writeup that I did find.. i was unimpressed with. Just another laser rifle, slightly beefed up.
For a new heavy weapon, I want an all-range (well, 0-100m) anti-infantry weapon.
Something that justifies my Sentinel, NOT carrying a CR or ARR, because (new heavy weapon) is better in all situations.
Is that SO DIFFICULT, CCP, to imagine that a heavy weapon should be able to out-damage a "light" weapon of the same type?!?!
There's "HMG" vs "SMG". So just give us the HRR or HCR already?!?!?!?! |

What would make this weapon not the only viable infantry weapon on the field once it's out? Edit: This is exactly the kind of heavy weapon that should never exist, for what I would think would be obvious balance reasons.
what you're basically saying is, "Heavies should only get to use light weapons, same as anyone else, because anything more powerful would make other suits feel impotent".
Awww, poor baby.
The whole point of a "Heavy weapon", vs a "Light weapon", is that Heavy weapons should DO MORE DAMAGE.
S'why they're 'heavy' an all.. |

To be more specific, I'm suggesting there needs to be Heavy varients of the standard rifles.
And I dont think there should be any specific drawback to the weapon.
They're running a HEAVY suit. Thats drawback enough.
A lone heavy can easily be flanked by a scout and taken out with a charged knifeswipe. |
