I think will be allot better, if each dropsuit comes with their own set of weapons :

Scout :

- Sniper, shotgun, SMG, pistol

Assault :

- AR, SMG, Pistol, Anti-tank

Heavy :

- Forge gun, Autocannon, Pistol

Logistics :

-AR, SMG, Shotgun, Pistol.

Maybe in the future ? I will love to see this happening for better balance.

CCP has already made it clear that they don't want a class based shooter.

Weapon restrictions are meant to be as light as possible.

Why limit us?

Why limit us?

Is not a limitation, is just a different way of thinking.

This idea is to help the game with the imbalance the heavy suits causes to the game.It also makes sense because heavy suit having access to all the weapons will be a very easy exploit to get the best K/D.The exploit is especially bad when most of the enemy team is using heavy suits on smaller maps.

Imbalance? You mean how heavies can't revive, repair, use equipment, move fast, or do much of anything outside of direct combat?

so it's fair that a heavy is all you need to win a match.I'll say it again imbalance.

Did you not read a word of what I wrote? Have you ever seen a heavy in action? They are damn slow.

I can tell you two reasons why it would not or should not happen.

One:

The developers of EVE Online and Dust 514 have a design ethos that does not include restrictions. CCP designs game mechanics and social interaction tools that empower players to explore choices and promotes emergent behavior. It is what they are good at, renowned for and has made them successful.

This design ethos is at the core of every promotion and marketing strategy since the foundation of the company. The EVE Online player has learned this message over ten years. If the company were to suddenly reverse on the message it could have a profound impact in relations with the player base that makes Dust 514 even possible. Which would not be good for EVE Online and defintely not good for the future of Dust 514.

Two:

EVE Online players would more than likely stop playing Dust 514.
EVE Player Base support is mission critical to the success of Dust 514.

Headshot kills a heavy. A well placed shot cuts them down to almost no armor. A shotgun can do pretty much the same up close. A LAV can run over a Heavy. A cooked grenade can kill a heavy. A tank can kill a heavy. Another Heavy can kill a heavy.

They move slow. Reload slow. Not accurate at long range. Those are weaknesses to exploit.

Is not a limitation, is just a different way of thinking.

You can buy the skill book to use any dropsuit you want.....Why not make it a "challenge", to try to specialist in all of them ?

and yet with all that they still dominate a match.I'm not the one who is wrong here.All the heavy really needs is a heavy weapon and i'm just trying to lessen their numbers.besides if you read my last message then you would know i changed the direction of this thread.

Actually it is a limitation. Simple fact. You take away a player being able to come up with his own play style, so you are limiting how that person can play.

Your "challenge" is dumbing down the game.

Just hit them from the side with a shotgun or mass driver, and that healthbar will go down.

like i said before i changed the direction of the thread.i'll also post a bit more details.
Weapon Dropsuit Bonus (on the weapon - - a bonus that is given based on which suit uses that weapon) :
Scout :
Sniper
Assault :
Assault Rifle
Heavy :
Heavy Machine Gun
*until heavy's become too weak the bonus will not be as much as the other weapons
Logistics :
Mass Driver
Note : More can be added.These are just examples.

I'm just trying to give out ideas that can help with how heavy suits are over powered.

I admit i may have been wrong in most areas ,but the facts remain if the enemy teams up in heavy suit ,the heavy suit has the advantage.It's also true i'm not as inform as the rest of you and i admit that ,but even for me it's easy to see the undeniable advantage heavy's have over other suits and no realistic way to counter them on certain maps.I also refuse to swap my suit for a heavy suit just to have that advantage.I also am willing to try to understand everyone else's thoughts.What i'm about to ask feels very stupid ,but where would go to get a overall view on the current problems and the real issues (the reason i say real is because earlier i finished reading nova knifes letter) that the game faces?
