actually the burst was the one I wanted left alone. The fraggin range nerf was exactly what I wanted to avoid by presenting alternative things.
Unfortunately that point got missed.
WoW has taught me that Purple means Legendary. This means Quafe suits are the optimal loadout for killing all of you.

Genral69 death wrote:So ill start of by asking you a question
Which hmg would you expect you come out on top in cqc, a assault hmg or burst?
Due to the very limited range of the burst hmg id go for that, but sadly that's not the case.
The assault hmg out preforms the burst in may ways .
Not sure where I'm going with this and no I'm not asking for the nurf hammer but some actual balance between them
If you are experienced using the Burst, and you can hit what you aim at, the Burst will win every time in CQC.
The Assault HMG starts to have the advantage beyond 20m.
However, in a fight between two Sentinels that do not have perfect aim, the Assault HMG may have the advantage because you can continue firing for a much longer period of time. With the Burst if you don't hit on your first or second try you are either going to overheat or switch to your sidearm before the fight is over.
However, in CQC between two Sentinels who have less than perfect aim, the base model HMG will beat both the Burst and the Assault. It will beat the Burst because you can spray and prey, and it will beat the Assault because it does more damage in CQC.

I would have to agree with this.
The 3 HMG variants are very well balanced right now.
The Burst is definitely the hardest to use effectively (may be one of the hardest weapons in the game to master), but when you get in the grove with it, the Burst is best of the 3 in CQC. But even then, it has disadvantages that can be exploited by users of the other variants.
They have a nice variety, and I often switch between all 3 in a single game, depending on the situation.

I'm not using a heavy weapon where the rule is two or three shots then swap to a sidearm.
I refuse to use any weapon that cannot be reliably used to kill it's intended target.
I think you can get off 5 bursts before having to switch these days, and thats continuously firing. They un-nerfed the heat buildup slightly. |
