The range is just not useable. The rounds go up to 30 meters, yes, but the spread is so bad that you're not inflicting much damage at ten meters. The only thing I can't outrange is a shotgun. Assault Rifles are the most prevalent weapons in the game, and they can engage at something like 2-6 times my effective range.
Most of the time, what will happen is that I get pushed into cover, and then they either flank at range so I can't touch them, or get in close and dance about me while I flail and cry because I can't turn fast enough to fight them.
No map is really designed for a heavy. You can't even fight across most streets very effectively. There are a few portions of a few maps that are actually quite ideal for the hmg, but these are tiny blocks of the otherwise very large maps. Even at these ranges, tars and ars can still out damage you, and they have the mobility to get away from your gun.
Maybe I just suck (well, ok, I do suck, but not that bad), but I can't do the heavy anymore. The range just doesn't work anymore. It's too short and the heavy suit is so terribly slow that it can't really use it anymore.
CCP, if you guys could hurry up and process my request for the sp refund, that would be great. Heavy suits and hmg's aren't worth my time and my sp. |

The choice of weapon really is the main reason for using a Heavy Suit and your assessment of the HMG is correct. With its range limitations calling them an HMG is rather deceptive. It's more of a chain gun or gatling slug thrower. It does require a unique style of play. In the last build the best advice someone gave me was to start aiming center of mass and as the spread tightened go for the head. That and knowing when to crouch.
Between the HMG and Forge Guns I swear there is some conspiracy inside CCP to make fat people have to squat. Maybe an insider joke or something.
If the hints at fanfest were any clue we'll be seeing some tighter CQB in the future. So there may be HMG, Shotty, and Flaylock freindly maps in the works. |

I hate seeing another Heavy quit the job, but I cant really blame you. Heavys are strait up BAD right now and unless used for AV are nearly useless.
And Shotguns can out range HMG lol I had it happen to me a couple time and I have done it a couple times now to.
The longest kill I have gotten with the HMG is 12.9m ( and my AIM is actually pretty good if nothing else )
Try running a FG with AV nades and a SMG on the side, youll do alot better and probly have more fun to. Idk how many times Iv beaten other Heavys with HMGs with my militia SMG ( and that really should NOT happen ) |

CCP doesnt care about the heavies..they rather have this game a scout, or AR class.. I am a heavy and I wish we could get the heavy from last build back |
