Nomed Deeps The Exemplars 571	Posted - 2016.09.30 17:27:00 - [1] - Quote There were only 2 heavy weapons in DUST; the Heavy Machine Gun (infantry) and the Forge Gun (anti-vehicle). As there are no vehicles planned to be in Project Nova for quite some time, what is the likelihood Project Nova will only have one heavy weapon? I hope not very likely but only CCP knows for sure. I guess CCP Shanghai could tweak the Forge gun for less overall damage and charge time but bigger splash radius to make it more anti-infantry based. In any case, I am really hoping for factional parity (at least one heavy weapon per faction) for heavy weapons in Project Nova. Beyond a Heavy Machine Gun and the previously discussed Heavy Laser, what other plausible heavy weapons are there that CCP Shanghai could consider? Speaking of Heavy Laser, it would be sweet if the only differences between Laser Rifle in DUST 514 was it took time to charge up and the accued use would slowly caused damage until it overheated and fried the user. A Heavy Laser would be sweet especially if there were certain surfaces it could reflect off of. I cannot be bought, but I can be leased.
LOL KILLZ LulKlz 1171	Posted - 2016.09.30 17:36:00 - [2] - Quote Assault heavy machine gun felt to me like it would function the same as a Cadari Heavy weapon. Give me somewhat the same kind of weapon just louder and recoil. As far as a Gallente HMG, they use plasma ammunition so it would be sweet if they had splash damage from their heavy machine gun. Maybe a 6-10 **** mini Plasma cannon style weapon with splash damage. Dustkillz and chill

I hope not. Heavies could serve an important role if done correctly. BTW, speaking of heavies, does anyone know if Commandos are going to be in Project Nova? I don't remember seeing any used in the past Fanfest video; just Sentinels. Near the end of DUST, I played most Commando in Pubs but never saw many Commandos in PC. They were fun as could use two medium weapons but just didn't have the HP for a serious fight. I cannot be bought, but I can be leased.

A Heavy Laser would be sweet especially if there were certain surfaces the laser could reflect off of. I would like to see a debuff mechanic so that the heat buildup for damage could be on the target rather than the weapon. They you could have the heat buildup on a target buff the damage from laser weapons. Have head dissipate slowly over time so going off target for an instant does not reset it. Then when we get vehicles in a future expansion, the heat-up time to produce vehicle level damage can be set to 3 seconds. 3 seconds under any weapon will kill infantry, but it is easier to maintain 3 seconds on target against a vehicle. Then you have a weapon that can be effective against vehicles which is not OP against Infantry. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.
Pokey Dravon OSG Planetary Operations 8574	Posted - 2016.09.30 19:47:00 - [7] - Quote Well....no vehicles but that doesn't neccesarily there won't be other hard targets to attack such as turrets, destructible walls, ect. So the purpose of anti-Semitic guns may not be entirely lost. Plus the potential of PvE with more heavily armored enemies. As for more heavy weapons, I'd like to see a Gallente weapon that sprays mini balls of plasma in an arc with steep bullet drop then leaves a burning effect on the ground. Mostly area denial but can do a shitload to single target at extremely short range. EVE: Phoenix - 'Rise Again' Trailer

Maken Tosch DUST University Ivy League 13633	Posted - 2016.09.30 21:29:00 - [11] - Quote Considering that vehicles are not likely to be initially included upon release (if it ever gets that far) I would not put bet on anything more than seeing a heavy machine gun implemented. HMGs are very suitable anti-infantry weapons when it comes to point defense or providing suppression fire as it was in Dust. I doubt the forge gun would ever see any action since it's more of an anti-vehicle weapon and that means having to first wait for vehicles to be implemented. Overall, just don't expect anything more than the HMG. Eve Online Invite https://secure.eveonline.com/trial/?invc=ed64524f-15ca-4997-ab92-eaae0af74b7f&action=buddy

Vanguard is the proper name for the role the Commandos fulfill. Far better than Commando. EVE: Phoenix - 'Rise Again' Trailer
Joel II X Bacon with a bottle of Quafe 10538	Posted - 2016.09.30 23:14:00 - [14] - Quote It would be cool if they added elemental damage profiles hidden within the code as well (plasma burn, laser laceration, etc, cryo-nades, etc). It'd give weapons much more room for variety. Hopefully they remember the concept of modular weapons and bring those up as well. *Scouts United* Gk.0s & Quafes all day.
lamo guys Corrosive Synergy 466	Posted - 2016.10.01 02:42:00 - [15] - Quote Damn I'll miss the forge! So OP in the right hands! When in doubt pull the forge out!! But we are all dead so who cares!
Nomed Deeps The Exemplars 575	Posted - 2016.10.05 17:52:00 - [16] - Quote The Forge may survive. Who knows (besides CCP)? There may be devices/structures that may need to be destroyed during play where REs and Forges would be very helpful. I am hoping so from what Logicloop has been saying about his maps: Quote: We certainly don't want the environment to be stale. That is what's so great about the barely anything we hear from CCP; it's so vague that it's left open to a wide interpretation. I cannot be bought, but I can be leased.

The idea of "No vehicles" in Nova.. is this based from the fact we haven't seen any evidence of them?? Because by that logic, there isn't even a project Nova to begin with Considering this is the second PC FPS project, that demo we saw was probably made for Legion.. If Nova comes to life, I am confident we will have our old vehicles and more to play with, but as CCP fanboys go, I give them way to much credit when I assume they are committed to getting their FPS up and running... So... We're all doomed Nova Knife Now. CCPLS
