DUST Search - Is fatsuit + AR the ultimate easy mode?

First off: don't throw the "if you know what you're doing" argument in my face, I do know what I'm doing, check my stats on the leaderboards if you have to confirm this.

Secondly: Yes its true, I met a squad of 3 fatsuit AR guys +1 Logi and they played tight and had good aim, so yeah, a litttle butthurt I might be. It was quite clear that these guys were using KB/M kombo, they were extremely accurate and had a surprisngly high strafeing speed.

And I have tried this combo on my "Another fat Bastard" alt and I do think its way to easy t just go in there, gun blazing and simply out tank anyone. An almost 3 KDR on a character with very little skillpoints and not least using a basic tactical assault rifle which almost no one uses cause its utter crap.

If I'd skilled that character up to 4M skillpoints instead of my main I believe I could easily have gottten a 10+ KDR. You don't see many getting 40-50 kills simply because its a slow moving build dependant on others or ammo dumps to resupply. You do however see many of them going 15-0.

And lastly: I have not called it op, and I have not asked for any change. I merely think that most of these guys who use it aren't as good as they might think.... Its easy mode.

It's not as effective as you think as I couldn't be competitive against assault players who knew what they were doing. It really needs a mouse/keyboard so you can make every shot count - if you're shooting without hitting you're going to cry a lot. It's not cheap being heavy and putting on a weapon that limits your firepower to 60 shots a clip is going to get you into very rough situations. We can't run - only fight or die. HMG is made for that sort of combat - AR isn't. So I'd say it's great for pub stomping and countering other heavies who don't have back up - and that's it.

Seriously, if it's so easy mode, why don't you use it? In fact, why haven't I seen this combo often since every gaming community tend to gravitate towards the easy mode / OP stuff. Why haven't I seen heavies using this combo go 100-0 yet? I mean it's suppose to be easy mode right? If tankers can go 40, 50+ then surely this suit set up can be easier than that. No? Well, I don't think it's an "easy mode". You just die less, make a bit less kill and save some ISK.... It's just like the heavy with a sniper. You're wrong. You don't die more or less with an AR. If anything - limiting yourself to a weapon that highlights your classes imperfections would mean you'd die more often trying to get into combat with players whose suit is designed specifically for the weapon almost. AR Heavies have my respect - they're walking dump trucks waiting for someone who knows what they're doing to come pwn them. Otherwise it's a pub stomp suit - so I wouldn't build an ego over it. Not that you are

Isn't everything easy mode in that situation?
