HMG's no longer slow you down and have not for at least two months.
Combat rifles, rail rifles, scrambler rifles, sniper rifles, plasma rifles, plasma cannons, forge guns, bolt pistols, magsec smgs and direct mass driver hits are all effective at killing heavy's from outside the optimal range of a HMG there is no requirement to keep a HMG heavy within your optimal range concentrated fire at fall off is more then effective.
Shotguns and nova knives are good counters inside HMG range
HMG Heavy's with logi using teamwork to hold a interior objective? Go around go over go under learn how fast units can move! Use range to your advantage use scouts to cut down enemy equipment and logis use vehicles to apply pressure for a flanking maneuver. Most of all use teamwork.
Your argument has critical flaws:
#1. Shooting someone's head while they are driving an LAV is most certainly difficult, unless the LAV isn't moving. Don't try to make out that you are amazing and can headshot heavies out of LAVs every time. You probably just did it that one time.
#2. Almost every map in this game is designed so that there are areas where only short range weapons are effective. Any half decent heavy will just stick to the CQC areas and avoid open ground where a longer ranged weapon can damage him.
#3. Yes shotguns and NKs can be good counters, providing the heavy hasn't already munched you in 0.3 seconds with his minigun, or turns around after you shotgun him in the back and munches you in 0.3 seconds with his minigun.
#4. Teamwork is much easier said than done when your team is almost entirely made up of useless blueberries that do nothing helpful, which seems to be the case in about 80% of games. And if you do have some buddies and decide to work together, what's the best strategy to beat the heavy+logi combo?? You get a heavy and a logi and give them a taste of their own medicine!
Which is kind of the problem and is the reason we are playing Heavy 514. |
