I'm pretty sure they are supposed rip across the battlefield and terrify enemies from range, but be MORE difficult to adjust and turn in CQC making them weaker there.
How did this "lol its cqc" garbage idea start up? And why were the devs convinced to start twisting its stats towards that role? An HMG is not a shotgun, and a ****** heavy does not have the mobility to force that kind of close range engagement on an intelligent opponent.

It takes time to spin up, which can be heard by anyone with half a brain and signals them to get to cover.
Until it spins up, it has no range whatsoever. Thats why a good AR user will always beat it from range.
So your argument has no ground.
A laser on the other hand has more DPS and not an easily identifiable sound from range unless the user is stupid and is heating it right next to the targets head. |

HMG DPS is backloaded, AR DPS is frontloaded.
The farther away the target, the more backloaded the HMG becomes.
Frontloaded DPS can kill a heavy before the backloaded DPS kicks in very easily.
To make matters worse, the heavy has to stay completely stationary which guarantees he will take every shot, otherwise the backloaded DPS will never kick in. The AR user is free to strafe with minimal impact however. |

I've yet to find a single other heavy (or player, for that matter) that intimidated me in the slightest. So I think I'll decline that offer for tips at the moment.
I'm not having issues with playing my suit and weapon effectively.
I'm having issues looking at this game and not laughing at it hysterically every time I see a stupid mechanic that shouldn't exist the way it does. A person doesn't need to be having trouble to call out some BS when he sees it. |

A laser on the other hand has more DPS and not an easily identifiable sound from range unless the user is stupid and is heating it right next to the targets head. It barely takes less than a second, I have used the first heavy machine gun with zero skills into heavy weapons. A laser gives you away by the fact that there is a glowing beam of ******* light moving around with the source being the user. Also, a laser can't do jack **** at close range and takes time to get to full DPS.
You know what else takes less than a second?
Half a clip.

Balance? Oh, you mean that thing every incompetent developer strives to achieve by making every weapon worthless instead of every weapon good?
No, I'm fairly familiar with balance in the sense you are talking about.
Your sense of balance is bad, and you should feel bad. |

No, I'm fairly familiar with balance in the sense you are talking about. Your sense of balance is bad, and you should feel bad. I take a guess you're one of the twits who expected to spray everything with dozens of rounds a second all day, it's your sense of balance that is flawed. Don't you think if it was meant to be long range it would have a sight or a longer zoom in?
I expect them to fulfill at least a comparative role to their real life counter-parts, similarly to the way an AR currently does without making this game completely boring and injecting it with too much realism.
After the SS nerf comes it'll be nothing other than a big, slow shotgun. We don't need two weapons to fulfill the same role. |
