I feel that the hmg Is almost useless right now after several nerfs. And don't get me wrong I know how to use it and get kills with it, the issue is that it overheats on big enemies making it like 1 or 2 kills and overheat.
I usually use the ar or smg inside the cities and they can beat the hmg users pretty easy and trying to get close to enemies is really hard even in cq, the proof is that I kept at range 2 heavies with one dragonfly scout and they weren't able to get me, just because of that I got them. It "works" in PC if ppl rush with them, otherwise they are just a great Av unit.
After several nerfs I don't see many players using them because they sux, and the ones that use them usually die really easy because heavies can't run :] [just my opinion, (hint, use a light weapon instead, that works way better, and better than a commando 2, just keep "range")] wonder if ppl will do the same after scr nerf. :)

I love it when scouts try to range me lol.
When I played for the event it was amazing, was hard to overheat, had a good range and damage, after all I'm able to use any weapon in a "master" lvl, I just don't like that it received 2 nerfs in overheat 1 in range and 1 in damage.
It is actually usable, but u need a logi or know where the enemy is, I usually play solo, so it isn't the best option right now, assaults can perform everything pretty well. In other words right now I prefer an assault instead of a heavy and as I said do not get me wrong, I have killed a lot of guys with the hmg. The issue is that it needs basically all its modules to play solo(base hp tank, thing that usually is bad) and most of the times is more about moving, because its range sux. I can go like 30/2 almost every match with it (but is more about chasing instead of defending as intended).

It's viable, but only in a max-CQC map. Then it's pretty much the same as it was before. Like the orbital artillery socket.
If u play with a certain amount of lag and against some assaults, battles 1vs1 are impossible to them, Is pretty easy to kill them with the famous fit "asspeedy shotguner" i think the damage at least should be beast at cqc, maybe the range should stay as it is because ar Users had a lot of problems, but the damage should be increased and the heat build up reduced a little bit. (the hmg should be the king at cqc)
Of course just my opinion.
