*sigh* Of course they are, they're supposed to be. At close range. The weakness of a heavy is when you put distance between them, where they're moderately short range HMG's can't even hit you. Otherwise, a heavy should always win a 1 vs. 1, or they're doing it wrong.

And if you want to get close for the kill, use a shotgun.

Seriously, it's a HEAVY. Don't they have vanguard classes or whatever from CoD or wherever you came from? They're meant to survive, and mow down enemies. They can't handle multiple units ganging up on them, surviving long enough for them to have to reload, or being too far away. After you implement my tactics, then I'm open to hear your complaints.

Did I not say in my original post that I put a full clip of headshots into a heavy from MAX assault rifle range and he still beat me? i'm not new to shooters, if I see a heavy I make distance and throw grenades, but sometimes you don't even get a chance.

Maybe top assault gear > top heavy gear...but in the lower tiers I feel like it's no contest.

I agree the HMG can be a bit ridiculous with sharpshooter maxed out, but an AR's range > HMG range. At longer distances the spread of an HMG is insane, so if you die at range to an HMG, you were either standing still, or you were ripped already. Your AR's range isn't maxed btw. Unless you have Sharpshooter lvl 5, you haven't even come close. Maybe it's maxed for YOUR range. Bad heavies are easy to take down, and 90% of heavies out there are noobs. You'll run into a good heavy once in a while who knows what he's doing.
