Impossible to counter? Lol.

And since when do OBs not register on the maps?

OB's are currently bugged, I think. They don't register on people standing on top of buildings, but they do register to people standing underneath them.

I've taken out a forge gunner with my AR before, at fairly close range, before he could charge it up. Not really too difficult. If he misses the first time, then he's dead. Oh, and knowing when to jump is essential. Listen to the charge-up noise.

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

Don't stand still.

So... you want to nerf a gun because of poor map design?

Can we just fix the map problem instead? Or make OBs do what they're supposed to?

(On a side note, if this really is a troll: expertly done, sir. Expertly done.)

mm, your tears are tasty

stop complaining, i miss and i'm ****.ed

ITT: Non-forge gunners explain how mechanics should be to forge gunners.

On topic: Seriously though, have you tried to forge gun? Then you will realize how hard it is to kill someone with it. We don't get one-hit kills all the time. Most of the time, it's splash damage. If you have a beefed up dropsuit you won't die to 3 splash damage hits to a forge gun.

Besides that, Militia Forges only get 3 shots instead of the standard Forge Gun's 4 shots.

And if you somehow got a shot with a forge gun to DIRECTLY hit a MOVING target at MAXIMUM distance... seriously... even if I'M the one that gets killed like that, I give the guy props.


This. I don't know how many times I have died to snipers because I stood still thinking that I can hit a person or sniper with just one more second...

And the sniper then proves he needs half a second.

Besides, I assume you use the Duvolle. When you upgrade Light Weaponry Sharpshooting what do you upgrade? Out of the current 11 weapons you can choose, 6... read MORE THAN HALF of the weapons benefit from that. What about Heavy Weapon Sharpshooting? Oh that's right: TWO.

YOU'RE SICK AND TIRED OF LOSING PROTOSUITS BECAUSE YOU WANT TO PUBSTOMP AND THEN WHEN YOU GET KILLED, YOU COME ON THE FORUMS AND COMPLAIN? HARDEN THE **** UP. STOP USING YOUR PRECIOUS SUITS, DEVISE A STRATEGY, AND COUNTER THE FORGE GUNNERS. NOT THAT HARD.

OH AND YOU THINK I'M RAGING? NO, I'M JUST USING MY ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE TO SHOW YOU HOW LOUDLY I'M DRINKING YOUR TEARS.

GOOD DAY.

that's poor map design, don't ask for a nerf on a weapon due to a crappy map set-up

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

7. Use of profanity is prohibited.
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.

The round is traveling at an excess of 7000M/S if it can't kill you in one shot, there's a problem.

just headglitch them or shoot thru railings. the projectiles massive and loves hitting terrain... not to mention its not exactly easy to aim compared to a sniper rifle at those ranges.

if u want to be able to stand out in the open and tank av rounds then i think maybe you should find a different game man.. this one might not be for you.

You're really going to hate that plasma cannon...

i suggested a long time ago that forge guns shouldn't have splash damage. AV weapons just don't need splash.

then revert the current firing cone back to the old horizontally aligned firing... rectangle? (it's the same function as a firing cone but it wasn't round. the crosshairs were a rectangle)

that would keep them about as accurate as they are now, if not more-so against enemy vehicles. (consider their cross section, vehicles are generally wider than they are tall.) while making them less accurate against infantry. (again, consider the cross section, even a heavy is taller than it is wide.)

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!

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

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

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

It happened with tanks, MDs and Shotguns.

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.

First, forge sniping is hard, especially at range. Don't knock it.

Second, you got forge sniped while spawn camping? And you are blaming THEM of using cheap tactics?
Pot->Kettle->Black.

Lastly, countering them is easy. Snipe them, flank them, laser them from behind cover, OB them, etc., etc., etc. If you are using cover properly, it is almost impossible for a forge gun to get a direct hit since the projectile is so large that if it even clips your cover, you won't even take splash damage 90% of the time.

Fixed.


I would have however, the level of brain matter is so low that his logical reasoning skills are clearly inept. He posts in the subject about "unskilled heavies with the militia forge gun" and yet talks about the Grimlock and Assault variants (shoutout), he says they are "impossible to counter" even though he can "turn them into swiss cheese with a duvolle". The Forge Gun is apparently a "one hit kill regardless of how much shields/armor [he is] stacking", but he forgets that "a proto heavy can obtain enough shields and armor to take a direct shot from a militia forge gun and keep on truckin'" (His Own Words!), not to mention the "fact" that he can be hit "miles away" given the Forge Gun only has an effective range of 1500 meters which is a little under a mile. Further proof of lack of mental self-control is illustrated when he gives this example after being killed by a forge gunner: "I first break my controller into dozens of tiny pieces, urinate on my PS3, throw it into the microwave for 5 minutes on HIGH".

In conclusion, in the middle of page 3 he admits that "this game clearly isn't for me" yet he continues on complaining like a spoiled rich kid. Hopefully, the heads SyNergy Gaming will see this as an opportunity to remove a weed that will hold their corporation back. Nothing against constructive criticism, however, when your criticism is not constructive, and is based on a egocentric view of self-indulgence (spawn camping blueberries to get a 6+ KDR), one cannot argue the epitome of such foolishness.

> "out of context"
> "troll thread"
Ahahaha! Good one.

By the way, spawn with your prototype suit already. My militia forge gun requires moar of your tears.

So they have an event where all the ambush maps are open and you just want a heavy to pick up a HMG and run to the crater correct?WAHAHAHAHAHA

LOL! It's amazing forge gun has been in use no problem till this event and now that snipers and lasers are getting owned they wanna cry? It's not fun getting shot back at is it wahahahahaha!

Sounds to me like someone got owned and is crying. Were you looking in your sniper scope before you saw the white light lol.

There is nothing wrong with the forge gg CCP!

U lose proto? U mad bro?

Wahahahahahaha!

The lack of youtube references in this thread is disappointing.
