I love the burst now, it's epic.

Now?

The burst has always been a beast. It did not need to be buffed the way it did.

It doesnt matter anymore cause of the buff to the burst HMG. The advanced variant deals allmost 600HP damage with each burst fired. That and the decreased burst delay on it makes it probably the fastest killing weapon in the whole game. Heavys die with 2~3 bursts when a skilled player is using them and medium/light frames die even quicker. Sure you could argue that it overheats faster but thats only a minimal drawback and most decent players allmost never overheat with the HMG.

The assault buff was to make you superior to scouts and logis, not heavies.

Working as intended.

In short words, now you have really no chance to run in a town (as logi,assault,mando) when theres Six Kin Burst HMG around.

Yeah bro, but those snipers are having a nightmarish time killing infantry now. You're so big and buff. You have ALL the hitpoints..

ALL OF THEM!

[Burst HMG] i find it to be OP, and i use the **** out of it because why not

as much as i would love to agree with you himiko, i use the burst hmg, and i melt decked proto suits in my adv suit within 3 bursts, 2 if my aim isn't ******. my adv burst suit has 750 armor and 450 shields, with a enhanced rep, kinkat, and cardiac

it takes me 4 bursts MAX to kill a decked proto heavy that isnt using a burst, and anything thats not a proto suit dies withiin 1-2 bursts depending on my accuracy

Not workng as intended*

Entirely working as intended.

Don't screw with a heavy and a screw won't screw you up. Entirely fair and balanced considering they have only a bit higher HP than assaults now, much less speed, terrible scanning, can't jump over railings, no equipment and triple the hitbox size.

They have every disadvantage imagineable and competent strafing on a medium or scout frame always mitigated more damage than buffer tanking on a heavy did. You simply don't see it very often because most people are incompetent. Now the assault is even better. I shed no tears for the fallen.

The heavy is meant to win every single head-to-head infantry engagement on even terrain within their killzone. There are no exceptions to this ever. If a heavy cannot do this then all of his disadvantages are in vain and the dropsuit class is redundant, meaning only assault's should ever be fielded.

The heavy was not created to give players another solution to the same problem. They were created to serve a very specific use -- combat superiority above all other dropsuits at the expense of transition speed and equipment support. That may make some people uncomfortable, but to be perfectly blunt the majority of you guys are idiots and wouldn't know good game design if it bit you in the ass.

except for the fact i can mow down 5-6 people in 1 mag with the burst, while they are all are shooting at me, so long as i can avoid overheating, and this is with the base armor stats

I call BS Dimitri, you may do that once in a very perfect scenario. But seriously dude a statement like that and we all know you don't even run a heavy suit.

LOL @ Dimitri

It should not be possible to terminate someone in 2 seconds, at 50m, in a dropsuits with eHP in the 1,000's. The burst HMG needs a more recognizable weakness. It's the heavy version of the CR: it's too good at everything.

Please avoid close range contact with the walmart fatties.

If you aint a scout, please use a little common sense, using your weapons range and your suits mobility as a counter to the fatties burst fire or standard fully auto BIG ******* GUNS

What if your Gal and HMG out ranges you >.>
