Everything in this game does but you guys get my respect because you pick a role and stick with it as much as you can, just like us dropship pilots get respect for doing an expensive job of being a pi+¦ata for enemy av and making people go "oh free points" and completely forget about our infantry

Forge gunning is definitely one of my favorite things to do in game. It was extremely frustrating getting used to how they work and from time to time I still get upset by lining up the perfect shot and seeing it go as far in the opposite direction as possible. One thing to keep in mind is the splash damage is really significant and in the top end forge guns you can kill lightly armored targets with the splash damage alone. Also assault forge guns fire off two rounds "relatively" quickly, so even if neither hit is spot on you are getting them with the splash.

One of my favorite forge gunning moments happened this past weekend when I killed a few people and then a heavy and his logipet came around a corner. One shot to the heavy's chest and he was gone. The logi took a moment to realize that his heavy had been vaporized and his repper wasn't going to bring him back. His delayed reactions proved his demise as a second forge round went through his chest as well.

So all of you forge gun users say that the assault variant is the best variant?

Depends on what floats your boat really. I mean Breach is best and can only be really used against vehicles and the Assault just gives that Middle ground against both Infantry and Vehicles alike. There is no point of going anything else without loosing the ability to kill off infantry when you are by yourself or need to go fight the objective. Theres nothing more fun than being in peoples faces and body shotting their asses.

And one other capability I like is they can't be revived after being gunned down by any forge. Makes it harder for them to come back.

logipet? LMAO, your logi's will probably take offense to that, but damn is that story not funny

I debated writing that and decided to go with it. I am actually one of our Corps dedicated Logistics players, but when I am alone and no one is watching I like to experiment with new things.

I heard nothing!

LMAO

i also can imagine that logipets thought

*dufag? were'd he....oh sh.it!*
SPLAT!

funny i imagine the same thing goes through a forge gunners mind before i run him over

You don't get the forge gunner every time though, sometimes the forge gunner gets you.

That's what makes it so fun, sometimes you can run away but others your only choice is to go for broke and charge the guy down, its like jousting except one person has an LAV the other person an electromagnetic canon, first one to hit the hardest wins

Not all the time. I have ended the battle in a draw as the LAV explosion was close enough to kill myself as well.

would never get the chance

(one of the rare ones that actually MOVES when charging/charged forge gun....or run behind somethin and flank you)

They're slow, i'm fast

the LAV sucks at turning

*takes two steps to the left, blasts LAV as it zooms past*

You don't even have to hit full on, as long as i clip you with the wheel you're dead, and i survive 50% of my encounters with forge guns, of course I tend to run out of luck on the second attempt

*climbs ladder, snipes pitiful LAV stuck on the ground*

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

*DAMN, sniper, oh wait, forge gun*

SPLAT!

wow i posted that as you edited it

I was playing an ambush match yesterday for the event and I see this one enemy player jacking up the kill feed with his name + 'Grimlock' Guristas Assault forge gun or the proto ISK assault variant. No, he did not get any vehicle kills but only infantry kills. I never actually saw him in the whole match but I saw friendly blueberries getting decimated by forge gun fire.

I personally think the forge gun is quite difficult to use.....and the assault variant doesn't let you store shots.....

BTW, saw your youtube vid with you and Sarutobi working together. You are a legit pro with the forge gun.
