basically really strong melee weapons that only heavies can equip. they are giant sledgehammers that deal twice the damage of a forge gun. fittable as sidearms, they would be the counter to those who dare approach a heavy, as they hit 360 degrees and kill anyone within 6 feet, effectively making scouts useless in every situation! |

I think perhaps a light melee weapon would be very interesting. A heavy melee weapon would be just silly though. |

I can see it now, the terribly slow heavy gets obliterated trying to get within two meters of the red chevrons as they easily walk backwards.
And Twice the power of a forge gun? That's stretching it a bit don't you think? As if Forges weren't strong enough.
No, no power weapons. I wouldn't mind Nova Katanas though
Also, that's a page right out of halo 3.

No one does that anyways. Maybe shotty-scouts and Mass Drivers. But other than those handful of people, there's nothing to really counter with this weapon of yours.
And you trolled us. This is an example of what a serious thread on it would have looked like |

NO HAMMERS FOR HEAVIES!
This is not 40k. We are civilised people who fight with civilised weapons. It will be a knife for them if anything at all. Scouts with knives are there to balance heavies in the first place. Provide a constructive suggestion next time Mr. Heavy. |

I am usually the one defending anything that people call OP, but this? a hammer with twice the power of a forge gun is just that.
Just think, you're driving along in your tank and the entire enemy team spawns with forgehammers and bashes holes in your brand new tank. even with 3 blaster turrets you wouldn't be able to hold off 16 people in heavy suits. and if it were a sidearm, grab some proto scouts or assaults, fit some cpu and pg modules and you have a fast and unstoppable force. |

A weapon that deals twice as much damage as a Forge Gun, doesn't require charging time, and can be used once every two seconds? Dear lord, 2012 indeed... |

suggestion is so OP, the odds are incredibly close to 100% that this is a trollpost or warning of some kind.
That doesn't mean a "heavy" melee weapon with an AV setting is a bad thing, but only if it's balanced.
>Damage: a fraction of a Breach Forge blast, but obviously much more DPS due to speed. Winding up your strike (the weapon's "charging") could approach Forge in damage, but never surpass it.
>Slot: Heavy. You still get a sidearm for defense should you get the PG/CPU
>AV - wielders would do best to hack/smash away in an HAV's blindspot, or charge their strikes to punish a roadkill-attempting LAV or dropship. basically would only be a threat to incompetent and/or lone pilots, but easily killed by those who earned their right to drive them.
>AI - Don't worry scouts - although he can kill most non-heavy suits in one hit, he still has to face you to kill. Plus your shotgun has longer range than his hammer / claymore / battleaxe.
>Likelyhood of CCP implementation: extremely low to nil. This is a shooter, after all. *mumbles* Still would be kinda neat...
To sum up:
this would be a high-DPS weapon that, although it can kill quick, would only be a major problem to those dumb enough to take their 500k ISK tank into the fight without any backup, or the fool that attempts to Nova Knife a 800+ total HP dropsuit.
Which results in a potentially effective noob-control device. |

If we are proposing melee weapons, can we please refrain from suggesting thunder hammers and lightsabers?
I personally think novaknives should pretty much be it for melee beside whacking people with your gun.
This aint the dark ages. we dont have swords. we have submachineguns for that kinda thing. |

Only 6 feet? Buff it to 10m and it'll be perfect!
Heavies need more Heavy Weapons. |

Why don't we turn the forge gun into a giant light saber while we are at it. Forge Saber (10x) - Charge forge and click melee. Forge Saber for 20 seconds lol. |

That's a bit far all I want is Thors hammer so I can wind it up fly into the air and land with an energy pulse that wipes everyone on the battlefield and any ships in space. Too OP sureley not! |
