The reason everyone notices the heavies right now is cause we have hit our sweet spots. As the build goes longer all the other suits have a hug advantage and ours stays flat.
We have one weapon choice and the ability to use one damage mod maybe two if you can Max out your CPU. While the higher suits for everyone else gives them, many more slots to use allowing mire damage/shield or armor mods.
The heavy suit then gets out paced at the top end for the rest of the time.
So basically, all buffs to heavies have to come later on down the pipe. We do NOT need low end buffs, because if you're dying more than a few times per match as a heavy right now, you're probably doing something wrong. I hear you though, that heavies get outpaced, especially when you take the cost into consideration.
Thankfully we've got a nice chunk of time before we'll really start seeing that, but still, it definitely needs looking into. |

I used to feel the same way, but the more I think about it, the more I feel that a heavy with a Breach shotgun, good aim, and a couple damage mods would actually be pretty damn fearsome, so long as he had a few guys in the squad with nano hives.
I gained a new found respect for the breach, that thing is NASTY. I just wish it was 3 shot, instead of 2. |

Without the speed to lessen the gap between you and an enemy, I don't think the shotgun would be all that useful. Again ill experiment. The LAV with shotty heavy will be extremely good though i think.
Yea, it's just a theory. The reason I say breach is because it has really nasty range on it, but you have to be really careful with your aim. This is also why I think heavies might rock this, because they can actually afford to sit and line up the shot under fire.
::shrugs:: Just a thought. |

If you die to a HMG in a scout suit you should also be insta-gibbed upon respawning, so as to punish you for attempting to take on a heavy+HMG head-on. There should be no room in this game for scout suits to prance around in the middle of a close-range firefight and expect to survive the first few seconds of it.
I have to disagree on this, having been a shotgun scout for a very long time. It's all about abusing your speed and mobility to hop over and around their line of fire, while tearing through their armor in 2-3 shots. If anything, I think shotgun scouts vs HMG Heavies are possibly the most balanced "matchup" there is right now, it feels very dynamic when both players are playing to their classes strengths. Also, HMGs do basically no damage up close to scouts, unless they literally sit still for you.
I don't know about other heavies, but if I actually see a shotgun scout moving past my lethal range and into theirs, I drop to my SMG. It seems much easier to kill them up close that way, for me anyways. |
