...So this is a HMG QQ thread right? They're not that hard to deal with tbh.

I did not say they are OP. I said pay attention to them.

The "low swing" of this game. As if everything else wrong with it weren't enough. Pay attention to how many heavies you see. More specifically how many heavy machine guns.

After my 10+ years of competitive online FPS gaming, I've noticed: The more heavy machine guns you see, the more a game is dieing. This is one of thee reasons I've always hated seeing it in a game. It doesn't matter how you try to balance it. Fundamentally, you give someone an option to have 100+ bullets that can kill instantly and increased health, the scrubs will always take it. Doesn't matter if you move slower - It's just an easier fit to use and get kills with.

You all can call me crazy, I'm sure not many of you have the experience I have and have paid attention to the HMG throughout your online gaming, but I promise you - you can tell how quickly a game will die by how many players feel they need 100+ bullets and super health to get a kill.

You won't pay attention to me right now, and I expect that, but just pay attention to it from now on.

I realised and changed my post

So in other words, for a game to never die is to never add heavies, right?

Why would you just jump to conclusions like that? You and I both know the answer. Clearly what I'm saying is "it's a sign of the times". Please actually have a discussion and not sling presumptions around like that.

What's happening isn't that the heavies population is growing, but players are leaving to play other games and await the PS4 and as such, those classes which were overshadowed by the AR are now becoming more prominent, like the hidden portion of the shoreline at high tide which is slowly revealing itself at low tide.

Even so, I'm not worried about heavies. If you think they're easy to get kills with despite their nearly non-existant mobility without the support of a logibro, then good. They need someone who believes in their ability.

Have any of you taken the HMG to PC? Lol.

If not you don't have an opinion on the weapon. Pub stomping - any weapon can do.

but a heavy isnt all THAT bad, same could be said about the AR users, superior range compared to HMG, faster turning speed etc etc heck a HMG user would have to sprint a fair distance to get within range to actually hit you with the HMG all the while being shot at by an AR user.

it could be said that the sheer amount of AR users is also contributing to the slow death of this game due to everyone having the same stuff no variety. When everyone is running the same fit, same weapon its just like every other FPS game then why bother playing?

Seriously ... so how a LAV's / Heavies / Snipers is a FPS game ? You guys have no idea how stupid you sound some times.

im just saying some variety is a a good thing, but if everything is just down to AR's then whats the point?

and why the heavies? heavies are already crap to play with is there even a point to say that now scrubs use them even though most scrubs just suck as a heavy?

we could say that the game is dying due to all those murder taxi's as well.


edit: correction didnt see your previous posts about AR users leaving coz at the time your post wasn't shown so i didnt see it.

though there's still plenty of AR users playing and far less heavies

This crap is what "heavies" are being saying for ages, nerf the AR !! to many people likes the assault class !! That is why the AR / Assault class is nerfed in regular basics, and why soon only is going to be heavies playing this game, and why the player base is so low.
