i think people can discuss whatever they want...

You just want your thread to keep growing :P

There's people still discussing something that no longer needs tweaks?

it doesnt need tweaks, i needs to either be fixed or removed from the game altogether and have SP refunded, because i could really use the SP back.


i live longer and get just as many if not more kills with my scrambler pistol than i do with the HMG.
i should just request another respec and leave other heavies to suffer. in my free @$$ dren suit with my dren AR and no damage mods, i crush proto heavies. if i had my skills in ARs id be unstoppable.

You're a pub heavy - come back when you're on me or Lance's level.

yeah all my points are in heavy suits. but the dren stuff is different. the HMG needs some fixes. when i speak off buffs im taking about slight buffs, that a heavy would notice immediately but most players wouldnt really notice (they die alittle more but would probably dismiss it as something else).

a slight range buff, a slight damage buff, a slight movement and turn speed buff, thats all im asking. do i want the HMg to be the i win button everyone thinks it is? NO. do i want the heavy suit to be the unstoppable juggernaut everyone is afraid of? NO.

i want a useful weapon not a a fully automatic water balloon cannon. i want a suit that is balanced for its purpose, not a pair of pajamas with pillows in it. is that too much to ask?

actually i haven't bumped the thread once... at least not after the dev commented in it. It keeps coming back now and then lol

Should rename it to "Heavies post here!"

As you've just said, this appears to be the place to ask about the HMG...

I've started messing around with some MLT Hvy HMG in Ambush and OMS, at least until they release the remaining suits.
Mostly using the Asslt version for that bit more range (not killing many people, but I am racking up the Assists)

I understand there's a "spin up" time on the HMG when dispersion is higher. Do any of you more experienced Hvys have numbers or a feeling of how long this actually takes?
I'm trying to get out of the habit of bursting weapons to keep the dispersion/spread down so it's a bit counterintuitive. Just wondering if I shouldn't be firing less than a second (for example), if I want to actually get some "accurate" fire.

Aldin, your opinion is invalid.

In fact, it's never been valid.

Never.

Ever.

Even more when you see him switch to a TAR assault from a proto heavy when things go bad.

^^and thats why i say the HMG needs a buff. if the HMG does AR damage, but with 5% less range than an AR, keeping all current factors the same. i think the weapon will get balanced out.

so,

-same damage per lvl as full auto ARs (std, adv, proto)
-5% less range than a full Auto AR
-all other factors stay the same.

these combined will balance out the heavy weapon. the suit is another story but this for the weapoon will make it worth specing over 2.5 million SP into.

Yeah, the suit is fine, it's the weapon that needs work. Without other heavy weapons for the HMG to be balanced amongst its class with, it winds up getting watered down to the standards of light weapons because it's the only anti-infantry heavy weapon.
