It seems the HMG has been downgraded again. The damage was reduced.
The new build offers some great advances but once again the heavy gets regulated to the sideline.
1.) With the adjustments in the suits CPU it is almost mandatory now to use the advanced and b series, OK I guess that works.
2.) The domination in close quarters is not really there anymore with the increase in movement and the tightness of the hmg it takes much more skill to get kills at close and close medium range.
3.) The medium to long range is a bit improved with some practice with the doom mode.
4.)the amount of bullets to kill one person at semi close range has increased to almost a full clip, this will force heavies to increase clip size, and reload speed, so this makes a heavy vulnerable at reload much more often.
Overall there is going to be a new learning curve again for the Hmg and I think we have lost our scare factor in close quarters, and simply are outgunned at any type of distance.
Good luck fellow fatties. |

What do you mean? 400 bullets to kill someone?
Depends on suit but 250+ for a decent fit |

It went for 19 to 17.
What really sucks is they had a sale on them and now they are not worth using. Nice bait and switch move ccp. |

Yep the burst has potential, the proto is decent. But the burst is way to easy for someone to side step and chews through ammo to fast.

Well I finally found a build that works, expensive but very nasty!
Adapting to this new build is going to be much more about tactics for the heavy, as we have all learned to slink around the map using cover for our every move.
The heavy evolution! |

I am curious if I can one shot burst a proto suit by holding the sights with good aim it could be a awesome new gun in the HMG world.
Not to go against you Taste but if HMGs still work better then last build I think they are great then.
They don't work better than last build less damage per shot, but they are more accurate at close range, which. Makes them better and worse.
Better cause if you can keep your fire on someone its lights out. Worse if they move about cause you do less damage.
The proto burst hmg can not take out an average suit with one burst even if all shots connect, but the truth is most miss.
However I do see the burst HMG as the masters weapon. If someone can get really good with it it will be a great weapon.
I hope many people spend lots of time and money on this endeavour.
I personally will just side step them if they come at me. It has a huge flaw. |
