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..... |

My theory: It's a glory weapon. If it weren't a challenge, they wouldn't be using it on infantry at all.
I have to admit, there's much more of a rush when you forge snipe than with just about any other weapon, just because of how hard it is. Makes you feel like a god of death. Until someone comes up and takes you out with a militia scrambler pistol. |

I don't even know how people work with the standard hold charge forge gun, the charge is so damn slow.
But it really is a weapon that people can't use too often. I mean, some of my corp tried taking it up but man it didn't work for them at all. And I'm very used to Single Fire Weapons since BFBC2 from sniper shotgunning snipers with a shotgun with a single slug to anywhere to the body. Thats pretty much where I picked up how to use the Forge gun easily since it is the closest to that gun that I used to use.
Forge gunning is best gun for me. I even take it above the HMG entirely. |

I use the DS3 99% (ps3 setup not kb/m friendly at all), however i will occasionally plug in my razer mouse if i just want to pick off tanks that are pillaring corners or a pesky sniper.
I look forward to the day the DS3 isn't so goddam twitchy and imprecise in dust (if that day ever comes lol)

I just started a heavy suit with this^!
Aty first I was like oh no. I made a mistake. I had wanted to start getting a serious AV get up together, and decided on investing into the forge.
Now.. I get it.
It;s sweet. The breach is just as good as the assault.
Breach = becoming mini turret- not a bad issue for me. I even got complimentary emails from the enemy on my turret skills.
Assault = Just like being a turret, you are now aiming on the fly with timing being critical. this is easily the bigger challenge since you have to start hitting targets while you are already looking for the next. Toss on even just lv1 AV nades and already i've rocked the F out of tanks. The F just flew out. serious story. I prolly pooped myself before the 3 kill tank peeps did. I never knew it was like that
way fun tho. It even got me into ambush matches. I typically only haunted skirms. |

I honestly can't even name the last time I used a DS3 to play a game on PS3. I use m/kb for this (which is a leading reason why I'm sticking with the game at the moment), and then I play mostly SF4 and SFxT with a fight stick. I guess Uncharted 3 was probably it.
The thing is all kinds of awkward for me after using all of the much better alternatives. |

I take pride in wrecking your proto tanks and suits with my stock shotgun and assault forge. I keep hearing all this hype about how much better the keyboard and mouse is for this game, but if I'm doing a shooter on ps3 then I really want to use the ds3.
Then again I guess I could get people to fear the name noob.45 again.
As far as forge sniping goes, the further you are the easier the target. It is CQC forge gunning that takes skill... at least killing the 2 or 3 coming for you without you doing a kamikaze. |

I love my Forge Gun. I and every other dedicated Forge Gunner can easily tell you that it's one of the few weapons where if you die using it, you can't complain because you probably earned it. It's an extremely satisfying weapon as well and an all around weapon that can both take out infantry and vehicles. Also if you don't like the Gastun Forge gun then theres something wrong. It s so good and all i use is assault forge guns. I may be one of the few Forge gunners that actually push into enemy bases with Forge guns and it's really fun because either i screwed up and got killed or i was able to take them out because i was smart about it. anyway Forge gun is=Fun Gun like Sake said. I also use the Ps3 controll. i never switched over to mouse. |

You get a "nack" for it. You get the timing, lead, and placement just right and it just works.
After that, its situational awareness, knowing your limitations, and luck |

Been using the assault forge gun since many betas ago, will always be my weapon of choice. I did test out the proto ishukon version yesterday with 2 X 10% heavy dmg mods, it was really good but to expensive to use in instant battles (cant die more than once or you lose isk). Use DAU Assault version most of the time. |

I was on the same team as a 9k330 Forge Gunner, I just watched him the whole match with his Forge Gun blowing up Protobears.
Its so entertaining to see their expensive suits go flying up in the air.
The only thing better than watching a Forge Gunner kill a Protobear is to see this in the kill feed;
"Insert MLT Player name here" (Militia Assault Rifle) "Insert Proto Player Name here"
So satisfying!

Crouching before you fire with the forge gun makes it deadly accurate. This will decrease the wondering round into a more precise line rather than a cone of direction. The round sometimes still goes off coarse but most of the time, it will go dead center of the reticule with crouching and not moving. |

As chromebreaker said you get a nack for aiming,timing and overall killing. I do get more pleasure killing with a FG than anything else. As it takes some skill. Now if im sitting on top of them and shooting down, its just a turkey shoot. But sniping across the map is fun. |

Forge gun is very frustrating at first, and when you're not practiced with it. You die a lot early on without feeling like you're even getting close to killing anything. So if someone is using a non-militia forge gun, they're probably pretty decent with it. |

Never been a fan of forging infantry but sometimes when the enemy is just a bit too far away, you gotta do what you gotta do. Still doesn't beat my ultimate joy of destroying vehicles with my Grimlock though. |

It's probably the easier thing in this game to "snipe" a player or vehicle with a forge gun. This coming from someone who uses a controller, hates twitch games, is horrible at FPS and aiming in general.
It's not really skill using a FG. Its easier to time and line up a shot than it is to do something as basic as sniping. x100 |

I know how powerful the forge gun can be because playing on my heavy alt with just a militia forge gun is so rewarding. Just wish I was a bit better with it so I won't have to skill into HMG's on my alt. Forge guns are |

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. |

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. |

Liked and subbed for more Forge Gun action.
It was only after I saw that video that I realized that you could use the forge as a full time primary if you wanted to be half troll, half tryhard.
I started grinding SP for my Ishukone right after I saw it, and everyone I have killed by forge since then would like to have a word with you. |
