Or better yet, how about a tutorial that mentions the strengths and weaknesses of each weapon. One that describes the various roles and Hw they interact.

Biggest noob cannon in the game is the Blaster turret tbh.

Also even before then the HMG is easy to counter so long as you engage it outside of it's optimal contexts.

optimal contexts? lolwut?

the HMG offers huge dps, has ~40 optimal meters range and great accuracy. most engagements are inside 20meters thus in fact 99% of time the heavy has the advantage.

Dust 514 needs new players to make the game grow, not only population but to keep the game going for a long time IMO.. Every single match when players use the noob cannon AKA HMG and go 17-0 21-0 etc etc I think new players will give up on the game instead of stick around and learn the game, get better armor etc

There has to be some kind of ajustment wither being shorter range or more recoil etc, every single scrub I see with heavy armor and noob cannon is always in the top 3 on scoreboard.

I would like to see even more players join this game and stick with it, instead of getting owned by these scrubs and give up on this game and never returning. food for thought.. with that being said let the noob cannon scrubs come in and defend their noob weapon.. saying learn how to play bla bla bla yata yata yata..

Idiots keep feeding me your tears, it's a shame I'm no longer skilling heavys.

I'm skilling the heavy tree myself. Plan to max it out at some point before moving on to a different weapon. It does take some finesse to use effectively. If you get surrounded your done. Simple as that. Or if someone has a mass driver you really can't compete with that. Which is IMHO, far more OP than the HMG.

That said the HMG is a brutal weapon, but far from perfect. Whatever, I like it and as such I enjoy the game that much more. So screw it, I'm gonna keep rocking the HMG just to **** people off!

Please don't start with that bullshit about how your good in heavys. Lol I took you out 6 times in a match

He means shoot them in the cranium with a Sniper Rifle.

I take heavies out with ar all the time. It does more damage at range.

Don't engage a heavy at close range unless you know what you are doing. (they can be killed up close too, but hard to explain right, I don't want to explain it wrong and get a bunch of new players killed by my bad explanation)

If you use a mouse. If i use my DS3 im utter crap with emplacements or turrets.

If players can't even work together to bring heavies and tanks down, then they really won't like the things that CCP is dreaming up right now.

or char them with the Laser Rifle.... or bomb them with the Mass Driver... or leave a Remote Explosive and draw them to it...

there's many ways to take them out, hell, i saw a scout dance around HMG fire, and shotgun a heavy in the side of the head...

be creative~

"i saw a scout dance around HMG fire, and shotgun a heavy in the side of the head"

This but close and personal, get very close to the HMG, and move around them very quickly, they can't turn around quick enough to get you.

What my tactic was with HMG's - Run away as fast as you can from them

What my tactic is now - Run directly to them as quick as possible, and dance around them shooting at the head. Works every time.

Don't worry, that adjustment will come naturally within the current build of the game as SP totals mature.

Also even before then the HMG is easy to counter so long as you engage it outside of it's optimal contexts.
For example running in a (more or less) straight line toward an HMG will get you killed as surely as walking point blank into a shotgun or standing out in the open with incoming sniper fire.

Note I say this as someone who does not use the HMG, it's fine as is and will become more 'lackluster' (as compared to current effects) simply through the passage of time/accrual of SP.

I've had it. Learn to use teamwork or die. Those are your choices. I see so many in pubs without mics and in a squad of one. It's no wonder they are getting slaughtered every match. I'm actually a pretty nice guy, I'm just really sick of these topics.

Example: The other team just kept using a CRU in an Ambush match even though they were being butchered because nobody could call out a warning to the others. They lost a lot of clones to our guns before they wizened up and used the default spawn. Teamwork and communication will save you a lot of rage.

same.... Teamwork should always be able to outwit a lone sniper, or overpower a Heavy... heh

funny how you talk about teamwork, last time I saw you in a random match with your corp buddies you lost against the random pub the irony.

here's the thing I try and stick with my team but the wacky respawns sometimes spawn you by noone! I try and move or find cover it doesn't always work..I am trying to upgrade my dropsuits, shields etc.. only played this great game for 2 weeks and have 1,500 kills... I am saying I see more and more people use heavies and HMG and getting madd kills.. I guess with all these noobs running around maybe that's why shrughz
