Ok, so i understand that heavies are a beast and the person should be equipped with whatever it takes to take him out. But, i mean are u serious, you're telling me that from a about a 35 to 40 yrd radius (don't judge me on distance if incorrect :/) you're able to eat off the sheild and armor off a heavy effortlessly? now that's just absurd. Doesn't any heavy agree with me on this matter? o.O |

I'm not sure what you mean by a 35-40yd radius, but no, this isn't a problem. Heavies(HMG) are designed for CQC, even if you CAN max out heavy sharpshooter and have equal range with an AR, that doesn't make you as effective as them at range.
If you start getting shot by an AR at range, then take cover and wait for the prey to come to you, then blow their brains out with your superior firepower and armor. |

Cool i tried that, but not so effective on an open field. Especially we has buddies backing him up, cuz that when i feel like going inside the game and kamayahmayah wave all of them, but i cant. |

I mean i do that but trust me not all the time especially since i play skirmish alot and only do two things, either i'm in the air flying a dropship dropping ppl from one point to the other or on the ground in my heavy protecting the base :|. |

If there's a GEK tearing through a heavy, good chance there are 3+ damage mods on it. By itself it's not that big of a threat, with the stacking penaltybonus they're kind of a nightmare, but I still fear 3-4 complex dmg mods on a militia AR or an exile because of their laser like precision more than a GEK with its wild recoil. |

I agree with you on that, but I personally hate both the GEK 30 and Exile Assualt rifles, after a person kills me with that i just feel mentally defeatead a bit :/ |

The Shields on a heavy go fast because it's got mostly armor. |

Your best bet as a heavy is to just up all of your passive skills. Get a broadside dmg mods and armor reps and play like a fat ass ninja. |

I always laugh when i see one of you, mostly because i see you come on radar, i see you're shooting AR and then BOOM you turn the corner and you're a heavy. Good thing turning radius is limited by the suit not the weapon. |

The grass is always greener on the other side...
From our perspective, it requires a crap ton of bullets to take down a heavy, and is even more difficult when that heavy is decently speced and has decent HMG range. Plus don't forget that our AR's start shaking violently and become nearly uncontrollable with long duration of fire (which is needed to get a heavy, or at least do some serious damage). Yet the HMG becomes more accurate and deadly with longer fire. So when our weapons because almost useless, yours becomes a spinning death machine, which is probably the root of most AR players hate with heavies.
Also in the time required to down a heavy, our position is made and usually somebody else comes along to soak bullets into us before we have a chance to completely kill you. |

I don't think you really want the answer. :)
But back on topic, I don't mind GEKs at all (I'm a heavy). But I will say that when I get killed while walking around, I look at what killed me and it seems to be mostly locus grenades and geks. If a group of people are shooting at me, it's usually the guy with the gek that gets the kill.
But it's all good. The game wouldn't be fun if you didn't die on occasion. |

The HMG sucks in comparison to the GEK and an assault suit can get well over 400+ shields too yeah one really needs to question the usefulness of the heavy suit. Only reason I like to roll with a HMG on my Heavy still is because the heavy suit can't equip nanohives.
If you're looking for a reason to play the heavy, learn to aim and pick up a forge gun.
Assault Suits are cheaper, faster, nearly as durable, have more utility, kill faster and at better ranges.

Bad gun game ?
What you should do is any or all of the following :-
Aim for the head.
Use cover.
Don't engage in open ground.
Soften him/her up with a nade.
Lets face it, if a heavy gets the jump on you, chances are your gonna die. |

Just think, every time an assault has range on you, that's how he feels when you come around the corner in his face. Seems fair. |

Yea even though its frustrating now that every death is from a GEK. But its how the game goes |

The issue isn't that assault kill heavies at range, the issue is assault being just as good as heavies up close too. |
