The perk is that it requires no true skill to use the HMG

how do you again have the advantage here? SMG does not even have half the range, is less accurate and deals 40% less dps than the HMG.

oh and btw heavies turning slow is a nice rumour and most players already discovered the options and increased sensitivity or they just use a mouse... turning problems fixed.

Talk about beating the dead horse.

Imo people complaining about heavies being op is just as dumb as heavies complaining that a good AR user took them out at range.

Don't go trying to say that because of the extra hp a heavy is stronger than the other suits. Once the bad AR users learn to keep a fair distance to heavies and ADS them to get headshots, you'll realise the only real niche of a HMG heavy is in CQC or against low SP nubs that stand still or against those that can't aim.

Jeez we all aren't even running full proto suits yet.

Also, I lol at the people saying that, in a Type II Heavy, they can keep up with an Assualt suit by 'cutting corners', ever tried jumping over those rails that plague all CQC maps?

TLDR: Learn to pick your fights.

Ultimate guide to killing a heavy:

Step one. Put 25 meters or so between you and said heavy

Step two. Aim with any weapon

Step three. Shoot

Step four. Repeat as necessary

step 5, because you followed the horrible advice of this player you die to 550 dps with 40 meter optimal range cause he forgot to mention to abuse cover so the heavy cannot build up accuracy with continous fire


oh look this again, people are out of arguments and start to use phantasmic hypothetical game scenarios that never happen ingame.

heavy has cover and friends too.

buff heavy cause he cannot defeat a whole squad alone! trolltastic

if you want to convince someone better start to rethink your arguments.

protip: you can defeat heavies by using cover and grenades/explosives. mass driver is great because you can pop out of cover, lob a projectile and hide again. THIS is how you fight heavies, pop out of cover, shot and hide. you do not want to let them build up accuracy by constant shooting.

so, in your scenario the heavy not only fights alone against a squad without any cover but also starts without ammo, no sidearm, has to reload and his weapon magically overheats for some reason before he could fire a single bullet?

well then its time to buff the heavy cause he is really useless in such a scenario... go buff heavies!

why do you repeat the same nonsense over and over? why would the heavy expose himself in the open? and killing a single assault suit does not make the heavy run out of ammo for a reload....

again, you should rethink your "arguments" and stop forging some made up stories.

The way I see it, this game is kind of like rock-paper-scissors. There is a counter to every loadout. Problem is that 99% of players are using scissors (AR), and they are complaining that they are being beaten by rock (hmg). Then there is the whole sp thing. Some of the new players seem frustrated that they can't go toe to toe with a more decked out merc. This is New Eden, you're not supposed to be destroying everyone day 1.

Hopefully, once corp battles begin for real, the people with high sp will go to where the higher rewards can be found, letting the new players practice in the play pen, aka pub matches.

Proto scout! That's what I'd to with!

Screw assault.... It's too.... Normal!

I did not know we was still talking about a video that was made at the start of a build. Where do I start? hmmm... If you happened to watch any of my follow up videos you would see that what made this op AT THE TIME, is that it was, the start of a build. And i have shown many many many many people how to start off in this build and have been thanked many of times with them saying... I am glad i started over and watched your "How to" get in the type II heavy with HMG due to it being so much easier. I am not going to just smear a class nor did I, I simply said this is easy and takes no skill.

I broke that old Pimp Hand Strong class out the other day, it has 700k sp going up heavys with 6 million sp and I was getting laid to rest....
