Exactly. Locking weapons to certain classes is a dangerous slope that DUST shouldn't head down. What's next? Sniper rifles ONLY on scout suits?

DUST was always a "play how you want with any class" type of game. If heavies want to use lightweapons, they should be able to, but add a penalty. Increase PG / CPU, reduced reload time, less ammo... something. Don't lock weapons out of classes. Obviously medium suits shouldn't be able to use heavy weapons otherwise what's the point to heavy suits.

The heavy weapon is already locked to one particular class. Heavy weapons are currently the ONLY suit exclusive gear we have.
Once we get rid of that we can talk.

CCP could just use the way they used for cloaks give a harsh penalty on heavy weapons used outside a heavy frame (and give sentinels a huge bonus to this penalty) but DON'T restrict the heavy weapon to just heavy suits...this does not fit the sandbox approach.

The medium / scout suits have something heavies don't, equipment slot(s). So in turn, the heavy has something they don't have, a "heavy weapon" slot. If you give heavies an equipment slot, then it's fair to give everyone heavy weapons. As is, no. ( ._.) <('.'<) "There there Mr. Heavy, it's not your fault CCP doesn't care about you"
