As a heavy of 2 years plus, I have to disagree with OP. HMG, even at the standard level, is incredibly strong in it's optimal. It can down 4-5 people, easily, if it just plays smart and doesn't let the DPS stack against them.
The increased heat build up makes it so heavies have to think a little more then just, "Oh, look, a bunch of reds!~ CHARGE!~" Because your gun will over-heat, meaning you can't just spray and pray, you will need cover or support to chill your fire down for a second to keep in the fight longer.
It was a great move imo in creating balance for the heavy. |

Heavies are OP as F*CK and I run heavies sometimes so I know, well it's either they are OP or I'm destined to be a sentinel which I keep ignoring.
You're likely an up-close-and-personal type of player. I'd recommend Combat Rifle if you rocked at Heavy and just shield/armor stack the suit. |

1. you nerf the damage the HMG does to shields, which turns out to make a Cal Sent the hardest one to kill with the HMG
2. you buff the over heat time, so that way we over heat even faster, you can barely hold down the trigger now maybe kill 3 people then you have to let go.
All these nerfs are so annoying I can barely get any kills the only place right now a heavy is any use is Dom since ccp nerfed there range, and there damage twice. The only people who were complaining about the heavy's being to overpowered were scouts and people in militia gear. I am a heavy that no one really knows but I only use adv gear in pubs so that way people will not yell at me for using proto. Sometimes the kill charts show a heavy getting the most kills because people wouldnt stop throwing themselves at you.
Is there anyone else who feels like heavy's are just being targeted because everyone thinks it takes no skill to play them, and would like ccp to stop nerfing the heavy to a useless piece of armor on the battle field. You know how i know your a bad heavy? Your complaining about damage and overheat. I have been a heavy since closed beta to and guess what it's op as it stands heat build beeds to be increased but damage can remain the same. If you overheat any hmg you are a scrub right know Well im not that bad of a heavy since my k/d is 3.50 and im in the top 20 for monthly kills just saying I would like the nerfs to stop. Im such a bad heavy that I choose to use adv gear in pubs. Nice kdr mines 4.25 my **** is so small well then i guess ill just have to meet you on the battlefield then. cheers and everyone else i would still like to see what you have to say about this topic
I could take you both.  |

Thats why CCP targets heavy's for nerfs we never speak as one on almost any topic, not saying my topic is the right choice but almost any topic theres always those heavy's who go out there way to make CCP feel like what they did to use was for the best.
The scouts are weak, they band together because they'll fail otherwise. We heavies? We are the strength in your back holding you together.
But **** with our HMG too much without giving us another Heavy Weapon and you will see us come together like scouts wish they could. Heavies used to be considered a community, we just haven't needed it since we've been a bit more powerful then the rest for a while. |

If you can fit a quick pause in the middle of a fight, taking your finger off the trigger whenever you get off target, when you over correct or while switching from one target to another, it will increase the rounds you can get out before overheat by quite a bit.
I like the heat change, because handling Overheat defines the difference between a casual Sentinel and a dedicated Sentinel. Now not everyone and their dog can do it as effectively as a dedicated Sentinel.
thanks for the advice, im more of a push, push, push type of heavy. My goal is to always get 30+ kills on the battlefield since im kind of locked down on one game mode which is Dom. Seems to me the only way to be able to get 3rd or 2nd on the weekly leader board as a heavy. Im so use to just fighting with my logi and not even looking at the over heat on my HMG but now i listen for the sound it makes that way i know to let go before i over heat.
Pro tip: Use uplinks on free suits to farm WP. Having a closer position to spawn in will also help you when you switch back to heavy, as you will have a quick way back to the area you want to be in.
Heavy suit ... just isn't very capable for making WP's if you aren't Forge Gunning. |
