i have over 200 million ISK and haven't worn an advanced suit since uprising hit.

I really couldn't care less if I lose a protosuit, kiddo.

the fact an AV weapon in the king of anti infantry is full ******.

I never stand still, I'm a 550 shield assault with an AR/SR, so i'm always bobbing and weaving, even when there's nobody near me.


@ the guy complaining about the mouse, you can get just as good results with a controller, depending on what you're better with.

The recent update has made them stupid accurate, i'm seeing more forge guns killing infantry than at any point in dust.

You have 550 shields. You are well protected from a fully proto'd sniper build but there is still a ranged weapon that can OHK you. The Forge gun is not OP simply because you can be OHK.

It is only king of the hill if you let it get up high, and if you then let it stay up there.

Both of which are failures on the part of your team.

If you want to call the forge gun king of antiinfantry then it would regularly pop you on even ground while you dump AT then FLP the fatty.

If you want to call something that requires a dropship, logi, and a heavy OP instead of admitting you refuse to alter your playstyle to facts on the ground, why shouldn't we just laugh at you?

I'm sorry but my alts a hvy noob with a forgegun and In PC matchs I can destroy very very skilled players with just splash damage. Its a joke.

In pub matchs who cares you just dont go into the fields of fire but in games that people really want to win you dont get that option.

forge gun splash kills me in two hits, and so does a sniper rifle

the only difference being you actually have to aim with a sniper which takes some degree of skill

oh yeah, and the sniper rifle isn't an AV weapon.

Two hits with a forge gun takes a relatively long time to fire. I think this is a huge reason why many people won't take this seriously.

you can make the same argument with the flaylock pistol not needing to be adjusted

LOL JUST CHANGE UR PLAYSTYLE ITS UR FAULT is a stupid mentality when there's clearly something wrong with forge guns being one of the best anti infantry weapons.

Not at all.

Is the FG a good anti infantry weapon on the ground? Hell no, unless you suck or they are exceptional.

So what you are complaining about is someone minimizing the drawbacks of their weapons system. That is tactics. Just because you as an assault troop have no reply means the the FG isn't an idiot.

Don't be mad that you got outsmarted just think some more.

actually even with slight elevation a forge gun can ruin your day

it's obviously not a CQC weapon......it's an AV weapon, made for long range..they're using the weapon as it's intended to be used, except against infantry and not vehicles.



how about you keep the forge gun how it is, and let me hit heavies with AV nades, and we'll call it a day?

So, even though it wouldn't change what you are crying about, you would be ok qith current situation as long as you had a seeking OHK nade for the slowest suit?

I wouldn't care if you have better gungame than everyone, you are now a scrub.

No, that post was supposed to show the stupidity of an AV weapon being able to kill infantry effectively.

My fault for expecting it NOT to go over your head.

Keep crying while you throw thukker nades and show your sweet bunny hopping ar skills.

I swear the AR guys wont be happy until there is nothing but themselves to fight.

I made a thread like this a few months ago, it got 11 pages, and everyone thought I was trolling.

I'm not.

Forge guns are so hyper accurate they're arguably the best anti-infantry weapon when you have the high ground...huge splash damage and extremely fast re-fire speed, you have maybe 3 seconds to find cover once you take splash damage from a proto forge gun...that is, if you weren't outright one-shotted by the splash damage.

These are AV WEAPONS and SHOULD NOT be able to kill infantry.

They SHOULD NOT function better than sniper rifles as anti infantry.

Splash damage needs to be reduced to almost nothing, the fact you can take out ~400 shields with 1 splash of a good FG puts the flaylock pistol to shame

Please CCP, this forge gun madness has to stop.

here's the 11 page thread if anyone is interested.

I don't use contact nades, the regular ones are much better because they take skill to use

it's not a matter of variety, it's a matter of an AV weapon being OP against infantry

I've said a fun change would be to do reduced dmg to infantry but knock them back as the shockwave of the energy wave hits them before the blast. But the reason it does more dmg to tanks is because the shockwave doesn't move the tank away from the true dmging blase. A direct hit would still likely want to one shot infantry, but OHKs in general would be less and knocking people back is always fun.

It is only op if you refuse to counter it. Which means it isnt op.

Stop crying.

Sure, let me counter a forge gun on the roof

hold on let me just fly my duct tape drop ship up there an--

oh he shot me down before i even got off the ground

okay i'll just climb up there and--

oh he's on a roof with no ladder

okay, i'll just snipe him--

oh, there's no good angle to get a shot on him since he's on the tallest structure in the game, surrounded by cover

yeah, my fault for not countering them as an assault player, CLEARLY no adjustment is needed for an AV weapon destroying infantry.
