i dont think the nerf did anuff you guy players sniping with them over all its a AV gun rite so like the SL make it if the roll CCP
1 Nerff range make it and mid range AV gun 2 add more speed to fireing this keeps the forge form bing uder crap when taking on tanks 3 give the forge a sway when fireing and moving and chaging ( this is not a sniper rifle and should not be used as one) |

I would rather see when you charge the forge gun it makes more vibrations, making it more difficult to hit small things over long distances. |

shuuut uppppp!!!! it doesnt need a nerf :P
A sway? are you kidding lol. you already have to be extremely accurate with it as it has zero zoom and big bulky crosshairs. |

the forge gun is about as accurate as throwing a fat kid!!!! it take 2.5 seconda to charge and wobbles worse than said fat kid, its accuracy is shocking against targets smaller than a house so any sniper shots i have got with it have been a fluke. its shot will be somewhere within the crosshairs, and it got big crosshairs.
please use it before you start crying about it. |

Problem is I've gotten good with it, maybe if people didnt constantly tried to rush me and make me run out of scrambler pistol ammo I wouldnt have to resort to the forge gun for anti infantry.
Honestly if I nailed you from across the map its becuase you where sitting still not paying attentiont to the first 3 shots flying by your head and not moving, or you're so close to a wall that a near miss is still lethal.
Unfourtunately the nerfs called for would make the forge gun absolutely useless in anti-vehicle role. Forge Gunners need the range to avoid attention of the muraders to effectively at least empty an entire magazine into one before getting blown away by them.
For example a Sagaris going full speed and me spotting him while facing him I would only get two shots off before he ran over me. Insufficent to kill the Sagaris. Nerfing that range to One effective shot would make the muraders too powerful again.
The Forge Gun also already has sway even when stationary and kneeling it still likes to miss as the recitile for it is about the same size as the HMG field of hit before spin up. Most of the time we get lucky or the target is close enough to compensate, most of the time we arent that lucky.
Finally reducing charge time would relegate the Forge gun to an anti personel role the exact thing you are trying to avoid. |

against infantry the forge gun is hugely satisfying, when you get a killshot that is. killshots always feel like a fluke. my personal best is 2 scouts with one shot, close range, i hit one directly and the splash killed the second.
As IRON WOLF has said it is an anti vehicle weapon so yes it should kill you in one hit, but its accuracy makes it a terrible choice against infantry.
if your a sniper being killed by it YOU are doing something wrong. |

I just feet shot scouts they dont have the HP to live though that once just keeping up with them in close range is a bit hard sometimes but its better than playing bullets go though the dancer.
Assaults on the other hand I have to make direct hits or Im dead. Heavies I typically have good luck with as they either get side arms or suck with thier current heavy weapon and do the one mistake of standing still. Forge Gun + Stationary Target = Bad reaction. |

nothing wrong with putting a huge hole in a player dumb enough to stand still. but yea, as well as the forge gun being inaccurate, us AV guys have a serious lack of mobility, we make easy targets for snipers. so i really cant figure out how the hell OP keeps getting killed!!! |

personally i'd like to see the forge guns buffed... more damage, put the charge UI back in, and restore the wielders movement speed like in the last build.
but i'd also remove the splash damage completely because it's an AT weapon and AT weapons don't need splash damage to be AT weapons. just leaves the door open for douchebaggery IMO |

1 he was predictable, 2 he didnt travel far from his spawn 3 it was a good vantage point where he was as in anyone on the map could see him as well if they looked. 4 Wall right behind him contributed to the kill, only 1 of the 3 that match was a direct hit.
If I was a Sagaris Railgun operator the results would have been the same. |

I agree, there isnt really any need for splash damage, and our movement speed sucks in comparison to the vehicles we hunt
Makes sense now, poor sniping techniques make for easy targets |

I am sorta fond of the splash damage because I run out of secondary weapon ammo so constantly and randoms won't resupply me even if I ask nicely. Also the forge gun slags stuff apart Im sure where it hit on the ground it turns into a blowhole of molten metal and detonates when cooled when exosed to the air.
Also slash damage makes up for the inaccuracies of the forge gun against tanks from a high vantage point. Its rather annoying ot ahve a shot scew up and to the right and miss entirely its bad enough it takes seconds between each shot.
Maybe infantry need blast armor something to reduce aoe damage signficantly. |

good point, i tend to attack from ground level playing cat and mouse, i must admit it is nice when someone gets out the tank and the splash kills them.
i think blast armour would act as a nerf on grenades though.
thinking about it, if the forge gun is essentialy a large calliber rail gun then there would be kinetic impact splash and also a localised EM burst at the point of impact as the round would superheat to a plasma state and then on impact a portion of that energy would shift though the EM spectrum. |

the splash is only a couple hundred damage though, against a tank it's rather insignificant, and against infantry... oh well? i don't wanna sound like a **** but it's an AV weapon. it SHOULD be bad at killing infantry. i mean i don't think it's all that good at it now, but it CAN work and you get threads like this...
it's pretty much the same case i kept making when the trolls screamed for their insta-win swarm launcher back under the guise of "i need it for self defense! herp-derp" it's a specialized AV weapon. if you choose to carry it you have to live with that choice. i complement all my swarm fits with SMGs. i don't think it's unfair to expect the same out of forge fits?
and if you're spending enough time on your sidearm to run out of ammo for it then you prolly don't need the forge gun, right? |

Last weekend it would have been like occasionally, this weekend people have been grouping up more and more moving as entire squads. So it takes an entire magazine in the scrambler to down most people i run into but a group of 6+ emtpies out my scrambler real fast and more keep pouring to the area because they all decide, "Oh its just one heavy he can't take us all on, keep pushing alpha" Which is true I run out of both guns ammo and was attempting to refine my baseball skills when they finally bag me most of the time.
But rarely I use the forge gun as a first option for killing infantry and if its an across map hit I'm sorry but you had a non infantry icon over your head most likely otherwise I wouldnt have fired. |

Have it require a lock (vehicle and heavies) for any accuracy, blind fires should be somewhat inaccurate at anything but short range. |

its a large calliber railgun, having a lock on would not make sense, as it has no target tracking capabilitys.
most forge gun users will agree that using a forge gun on any infantry at almost any range is hit or miss (sorry couldnt help it) and there really is no need to go messing with a weapon that works exactly how its ment to. |

sounds like what you 2 (hellhammer and iron wolf) REALLY need is for ccp to fix the HMG <.<
i mean i get it. HMG sucks, you still wanna be a heavy.. you gotta put SOMETHING in the heavy weapon slot. but then there's no tanks? what do?
don't gemme wrong, if you guys can get kills with forge guns i'm sure you can manage to get some with the current hmg. but giving godzilla a stick wouldn't prove that sticks were awesome weapons. and the HMG has been absolutely NEUTERED compared to the last build. |

Furry your comparing a weapon that has an accuracy of 70, no zoom, and a really slow rate of fire to a sniper rifle, and saying its better.
as all the forge gun users have been saying, long shots are litterally a long shot, even with all skills and upgrades its still not an effective anti sniper weapon, and it never will be. its an anti vehicle weapon and you were unlucky enough to be at the recieving end of some lucky shots. doesnt mean that it needs nerfing, it just means you need to think about your suroundings and techniques a little bit more
it kinda boils down to teamwork as well, a heavy should not have to engage long range infantry. once team play is up an running properly you wont be on the recieving end of a forge gun as often. its only due to a lack of friendly snipers that we have to take pot shots at you.
as for the future lack of tanks, theres always gonna be dropships and LAV to blow up, and im happy to use my smg |

Yeah, the forge gun isn't exactly known for pinpoint accuracy. There have been many times I've managed to take out snipers standing on the edge of a building's roof, but it was with the 3rd or 4th shot. Miss by the tiniest of margins and the bolt just flies by harmlessly. Thankfully, most snipers will oblige you on this difficulty by just sitting there and not firing back.
About the only thing I've done with a forge gun that could even remotely be considered overpowered is shooting it at 2 militia scouts trying to capture a control point. The splash took them both out in one shot, but again, they weren't moving and were in a semi-enclosed area, on top of being in squishy suits that had taken some previous damage. That's a lot of things that have to be just right before the forge becomes this super death machine everyone is whinging about.

Ya know, I feel sorry for Bad here. He can't form a sentence properly so he spends all his time trying to create this troll persona so that we'll just assume it's done ironically rather than the truth. There are a lot of adult education opportunities these days, check for one in your area. |

I use the HMG I mow squads down with them still.
I used a forge gun once against two people didnt kill both of them only the Heavy guy with the HMG with his back turned to me and his repping logistics. Heavy went down with a shot striaght to the back of the spine and the logi cowered in a small corner under the pipes with no place to go or escape. He would have better chances running out of that as my scrambler pistol and grenades where empty killing the previous four guys of the squad in that area.
The only two weapons I am not good with is the Mass Driver, and Sniper Rifle and on a odd note the Swarm Launcher then again its only mean to be anti vehicle. However unlike my Heavy AV my Swarm Launcher guy does not have the habbit of running out of ammo. Every other weapon I can kill more than I die with in a significant portion. |

I get a fair number of kills on infantry with the forge gun. It's harder if they're up close, as you usually have just one shot, but at a distance it's fairly easy to kill infantry with it. So I agree, I think the forge gun could us a nerf to its infantry-killing ability. One thing that might be a decent solution would be to make it fire as a continuous beam after charge-up for a number of seconds, and do its damage over time that way.
I'd also like it if it broadcast its location more. Being able to shoot people with it and the projectile being non-existent seems a bit off. It should have a distinctive and noticeable beam or bolt of lightning or whatever coming from it. |

It is not a laser weapon nor is it meant to be one.
There is streak of blue lightning. Perhaps a more residual trail but that is all. |

Thne have it work like the proto FG's, where they automatically discharge as soon as they've run up their charge. The main problem is probably that the Assault FG can hold the charge for a long time. |

No ******* way. Its incredibly hard to get good with, although I can now snipe from the towers wehenever, I racked up about 22 kills from the tower with a sniper beside me, but it takes 2 hits at a distance, and its been nerfed enough as it is. |

I admit i do kill a LOT of infantry with forge gun, probably more than tanks. Got every skill maxed for heavy forge now 20 million sp, and 2X 10% heavy wepon dmg modules and it really is a beast of a wepon versus infantry if you use it right.
Having a top down vantage point with the forge... and yes it does seem overpowered as I can just sit on the roof and frag anyone that trys to reach Control terminal C, be it a direct hit if there stationary and hacking or splash if there moving. in match yesterday kill like 10 in 2 minutes from the roof. it felt extremely easy.
1 shot splash for a scout 2 shot splash for assault many splashes or direct hit for a heavy
It depends how I feel or how the match is going if i will stay on the ground and try and capture terminals (if there is no tanks to hunt) or get to a high vantage point and cover a terminal, if there is some really good players killing me quite often i usualy get on the roof. No point running around on the ground with an AV slow moving fit just to get easily killed over and over.
Even getting good with it at close range unless its a hmg then gotta get a direct hit. Anyone in a scout suit just feels like cannon fodder to me.
Sniping is hit and miss can miss 5 times or hit them in the first shot.
But yeah after fully testing this build with max skills and if you have a high vantage point. its a monster agaisnt both vehicles and infantry lol. probably does need a nerf, but hope it doesnt. |
