Then there needs to be a severe penalty for it. Heavy weapons are supposed to be meant as "raw power" type weapons, things that go to the extreme for their rolls. A user of such a weapon would need the strength to control such a beast of a gun, which is why heavy's are the only ones that can use them "at this point" Since every suit will be able to use them, something needs to happen before we see zippy scouts running around with proto HMGs.
Here are some of my ideas.
If a non heavy suit is using a heavy weapon, then that suit needs to suffer a major speed loss. Those weapons are heavy, and a suit not built to handle such a weight needs to reflect that.
CPU/GP penalty. Again, these weapons aren't built for these suits, so it should cost more for other suits to wield them.
Accuracy reduction/ Slower charge up. A heavy can deal with the recoil of a HMG because that suit is built to handle it. Smaller suits are not, so they need to have a harder time handling it. The same can be said for the forge gun, and it's charge time.
Implementing all 3 ideas could potentially ruin heavy weapons for smaller suits. So don't add in all three, maybe 2 ideas.
I would much rather not see other suits use heavy weapons, but my plees will probably go unheard, so all I can do it pitch future ideas on how to balance it. |

If a scout tries to wield an HMG he's going to use almost his entire cpu/pg just for the gun, leaving him extremely vulnerable to... well, everything. A scout is already vulnerable to everything.

Did you see anyone in anything other than the standard assault suit? They probably just modeled the one suit for the trailer to save time or something. there was a scout manning the side gun in the drop ship.

A pack of them running around swarming and annihilating all in there path... If you came face to face with a scout using an HMG, and you were in an assault suit with an AR, you would be able to kill him before he killed you. The only significant defense that scouts have is their speed. Using an HMG or a forge gun slows you down substantial. The only thing that makes heavies with a HMG dangerous is the fact that they have so much durability. A scout couldn't just stand in place, like an HMG forces you to do essentially, and starting mowing people down like a heavy can. A scout couldn't even do it to one person. I suspect scouts with HMGs will need a different style of play. Wow..... way to crush my dreams  Burst HMG. Take pot shots. win.
