Those are all one-shot weapons, with significant time between each shot. They're not continuous death beams, like the burst HMG. It's the possessed by the spirit of the Chromosome Viziam Laser Rifle. |

Yeah, the HMG already filled that role perfectly. It didn't need a buff. The burst is overkill.
Quote:up against other heavies with logi bro squads etc you can still get killed quickly enough. as well as with res, plcs, fgs, laser rifles, rail rifles, scrambler rifles, etc if they maintain their distances. it only works against the people who can be caught at close range.
If any heavy takes HMG out in the open and expects to survive in a ranged conflict, they're dumb. (Unless they're zipping around in an LAV, hitting and running, which many are, and the problems with this have been pointed out elsewhere many times.) Doesn't mean the HMG needed a buff. Heavies w/HMGs are designed for close quarters, and as I said before, they already filled that role to a perfectly balanced level. The odds of surviving against a heavy, even one without a logi, in close quarters was slim, but doable. But now it's instant death unless the heavy really screws up.
Quote:it runs out of ammo fairly quick and the heavy suits can't carry hives.
it overheats easily and then the heavy can't even change to a sidearm
if you are part of a squad then use grenades and squad tactics to take them down.
Ammo capacity is not grounds for a damage buff.
Overheating can be avoided by even the most novice players. What amounts to an instant death beam cannot.
You shouldn't need a squad to counter a single player because of their high shield/armor AND ridiculous damage output. |
