Bullshit. Oh my god you skillless scrub douchebags aren't going to stop QQing until you get the HMG nerfed aren't you...

If an HMG is killing you outside its range, YOU ARE OUT IN THE OPEN AND NEED TO FIND COVER. There is NO reason why you shouldn't be killed if you can't play a FPS well enough to find COVER.

This is seriously pissing me off...

I have seen a speed heavy in pc get 28 kills so dont tell me it doesnt work. Also please explain how the shotgun needs a nerf when it has less dps and has an optimal of about 15m. I dont see a reason to nerf it.

This post might deem offensive to some, but its really not. Just a no holds barred honest assesement. The whole discussion requires some common sense.

First of all, you can't really fix matchmaking with its pool of players. I don't know what you're expecting to change with that, really. You have people who squad up for pubs and the majority does not. What is quite interesting is that the pool of players can't fix themselves. Do you know how many squads be open with 5 empty slots and dumbberries continue to play solo? Okay, you want to play solo. But the benefits of squad play outweighs so much. No wonder you're broke, complaining about protostomping and such. Not saying you're doing that, per se. But if people actually played with each other as in cooperatively, matchmaking would be better. This is just another case of the community wanting CCP to buff the community. Only the community can buff the community.

The HMG "spam" is not destroying the game. In fact, the uncompetitiveness and the poor play of blueberries is damaging the game. Most people complaining about HMGs are the same ones rushing HMG users and expecting some Matrix styled, John Woo affair where they come out the victor. This isn't the movies kid. Use your noggin. If the heavy has killed you, then he is close to you. You have ample time from a considerable distance from the heavy to readjust your strategy and reposition.

Also its funny that you're requesting the damage of 50 caliber machine gun's damage to be toned down. Maybe you weren't here for 1.7 and before, but heavies were a joke and not respected. Now they have the capable means. Respect your heavy and stop your John Woo antics.

Weapon balance is stupid. There is no even keel in weapon balance.

Killing at range isn't possible, mist are inside and impossible to kill if you don't bring friends,as if you try, well you know.
Most maps are cqc areas so heavies get spammed to no avail without a valid counter, bring a heavy doesn't count.
I stopped playing dust, nothing but heavies most of the time, can't kill from range, unless I ambush with shotgun.

Pick on something your own size for once little scout, your just jelly because yor arms are too weak to even lift the hmg.
