AV weapons should not be able to to shoot at infantry. swarm launchers were adjusted, and now that you have these chucklefucks sitting on top of the tallest towers shooting grimlock/assault forge guns down at infantry..it just shouldn't happen and is literally impossible to counter, especially when they're on a roof where OBs don't register. obviously it shouldn't be a lock on weapon that homes in, it just should only be allowed to be shot at vehicles, installations, etc. and NOT dropsuits.

I can't tell you how many times I was busy spawncamping blueberries, only to suddenly die to a gigglecock militia forge gunner when there wasn't a heavy in sight. these are deaths that just should not happen. the fact you can kill a lot of suits in just two splash damage hits only a few seconds apart from 100+m out isn't right either, there needs to be some form of adjustment on these weapons to prevent an AV weapon from taking out infantry.

But it's basically a railgun, those things are a OHK on any human target, the things working fine right now.

No, if you miss, you take two steps back out of EVERYONE'S line of fire, reload, and head-glitch yourself some dropsuit kills from the tallest buildings in the game.

I hope free beers is taking some notes.

If they made it impossible to access areas like mt. Kilimanjaro in Manus and the 6 fuckhuge tall towers in that one skrimish map, it wouldn't be as bad of an issue, but I still have misgivings about an AV weapon able to kill infantry with one loosely aimed shot.

Kobrah, have to say, you're in violation of the rules.

The use of profanity is prohibited on the DUST 514 forums. This includes the partial masking of letters using numbers or alternate symbols, and any attempts at bypassing the profanity filter.

But apart from that, I don't see anything wrong with forge gun. If I die to one, my fault for standing still for so long.

Then how do you explain a proto heavy that can take a militia forge gun to the chest and not drop?

Yeah, you're right, after killing nearly 12,000 people and dying barely over 2,000 times, this game clearly isn't for me. Heaven forbid I complain about an ANTI VEHICLE weapon shooting INFANTRY. The swarm launcher used to be able to be shot at infantry, but it was changed for good reason. Why does the forge gun remain unchanged?

using a forge gun to kill people is hard as kittens.

This is as dumb as people complaining that headshots are OP

Anyone else hear this?

I only read these posts for his creative word choice. I mean seriously some of those insults are being entered into my vocabulary of insults.

How do you prepare for any weapon if you don't where they're at? You also said you were moving, the fact that you got killed while spawn camping tells me that you probably weren't moving enough.

You know what really annoys me? When my LAV gets taken out by HMGs, ARs, and Mass Drivers. How dare Infantry weapons do damage to a vehicle, that's simply ridiculous!

Kitten you! Touch it and you die.

It's very simple. If I see half my shields suddenly taken out, I know it's a sniper, take note of the direction of his shot, and don't give him anything to shoot at anymore.
If I see my character suddenly drop dead, with no explosion, no signs of damage or enemy presence, I first break my controller into dozens of tiny pieces, urinate on my PS3, throw it into the microwave for 5 minutes on HIGH, and realize it was a forge gunner that killed me.

Only a 6 kd? Lol you deserve to be killed by forge gunners

Keep talking like that, and I'm going to shoot you with my MD

would easily be 15+ if i didn't get hit with forge guns on a daily basis

"Unskilled" heavies are killing you with forge guns daily despite your best efforts to evade them?

Adapt or die.

we TRY to keep you humble, clearly it's failing

True but I can blind you. And run you over with my LAV's and crush you with my dropships and suicide grenade you, and thats just what I can do with you on my team

And you fatties look so funny as you waddle everywhere

i kill alot with the nova knife OP my arse

Figures, just as I skill into Forge Guns someone calls for a nerf.

It happened with tanks, MDs and Shotguns.

i like to call it "The Waddle of DOOM"

FG's make every fight so much more interesting, I have to fire multiple MD rounds to wear him down but he only has to hit me once and it's all over. what would be amusing is 2 forge gunners trying to 1v1 each over

One of my favourite things about the MD is the travel time for shells, I've lost count of the times that i've gone down and my last shell has gone on to kill the guy who brought me down.

I love going up against mass driver users that shoot all 6 shells at me but fail to drop my 530+ shields

I hate going up against mass driver users that are smart enough to flux me first, and kill me in 2-3 shells

none, maybe it's the suit but it seems i am incapable of generating hatemail I've gotten fanmail for doing logi things but...

apart from the odd forge gun thread you seem to receive more pity and sympathy than hate these days

Just gotta get in a quick "youmadbro" this thread kinda got away from me before I could troll it properly

I'm just way too tired for all of this QQ:

I read the title as "sick of losing prostitutes"...

I was going to say that we call them "Exotic Dancers" in New Eden, but then I reread the title.

On topic...

OP is not entitled to not be killed by anti-vehicular weapons. Forge sniping is hard. If OP is dying to it, he needs to move around more.

It would also help to not wear prostitutes. They are heavy and can slow you down.

Some shitcock blueberry militia forge gunner picked off my biggest money making prostitute the other night, right off my back.

long overdue for a nerf.

"Adapted from Deep Core Mining Inc.GÇÖs proprietary technology, the DCMA S-1 subverts conventional expectations of what a man-portable anti-material weapons platform is capable of. Despite its excessive weight and extended recharge times, the GÇ£Forge GunGÇ¥ as it has become known, is regarded as the most devastating infantry weapon on the battlefield, and an invaluable tool for those capable of wielding it.

Powered by a Gemini microcapacitor, the Forge Gun utilizes a stored electric charge to fire kinetic slugs at speeds in excess of 7,000 m/s, enough to penetrate even augmented armor systems. During the pre-fire charge, the forward armature locks into position, stabilizing the magnetic field and helping to shield the user from backscatter and the excessive heat produced. Power generation remains the single largest drawback of the current design, the onboard capacitor requiring a significant amount of time to reach full power after each discharge." -source

Cause that TOTALLY sounds like a mining laser....

Well that's what you get for spawn trapping blueberry's

It's not my fault 5-8 blueberries think it's a good idea to spawn in on a CRU with a couple of guys standing around it. still shouldn't be losing suits worth 200k+ to an AV weapon from a mile away.

And I'm teaching them a very important lesson. I bet next game, they won't repeatedly spawn at a CRU with enemies around it.
Karma isn't real. Where's my karma for the milita forge gunner that just wiped my 200k suit from the highest point in the map with an AV weapon?

Please refrain from using inappropriate language; no matter how hidden within a word you think it is, this is not allowed on the Forums.

Thanks,

Also, I like the fact that when I am running around with a FG blapping infantry, if someone spawns a tank I am ready to go. You can here me shout over comms,"TANKS INBOUND REPAWN WITH ZEE ROCKETS I'M MESSING THEM UP WITH MY RAIL.....**** he got me."

Heavy armor is so slow.

No... This is a troll post.

There's no way someone can talk about how they spawn camp, and yet call OHK from a forge gun unfair.

All of you just got trolled beyond belief.

I didn't read more than the first page, sounds to me like the OP needs a healthy dose of HTFU.

you act like its easy to aim a forge gun.. haha.

I run a VK1 suit with a duvolle though

are you one of those unskilled heavies who has to sit on top of the tallest towers in the game sniping with a OHKO weapon because you can't aim a real gun?

look at this garbage heavy sniping infantry with an AV weapon

thanks, CCP.

Guns don't kill people....

The moral of the story? The forge gun isn't OHK'ing you, it's just the guy using it.

AV weapons should not be able to to shoot at infantry. swarm launchers were adjusted, and now that you have these chucklefucks sitting on top of the tallest towers shooting grimlock/assault forge guns down at infantry..it just shouldn't happen and is literally impossible to counter, especially when they're on a roof where OBs don't register. obviously it shouldn't be a lock on weapon that homes in, it just should only be allowed to be shot at vehicles, installations, etc. and NOT dropsuits.

I can't tell you how many times I was busy spawncamping blueberries, only to suddenly die to a gigglecock militia forge gunner when there wasn't a heavy in sight. these are deaths that just should not happen. the fact you can kill a lot of suits in just two splash damage hits only a few seconds apart from 100+m out isn't right either, there needs to be some form of adjustment on these weapons to prevent an AV weapon from taking out infantry.
