HEAVIES are useless

[QUOTE=chamber666;317807]all you crybabys screaming for the waaaaaaahmbulance over map design, body type attributes, weapon performance…pretty much anything other than lag or lobby systems, need to go play a different game. SERIOUSLY. the solutions to your problems and gripes are NOT to have the devs go in and gut the game but to LEARN and ADAPT to this playstyle and learn to work with your team instead of being ADHD rambo.

for every advantage a class or body type or weapon has it has a deficiency. a deficiency that is MEANT to be compensated for by another player, he helps you and you in turn make up for his deficiencies. its a puzzle and everything interlocks. your teams main objective is to function as seamlessly as possible. your opponents objective is to find the chinks in that armor and tear that cohesion apart. your problems with the game AREN’T with the game, its with yourself and your teammates.

discuss and argue strategy, work with what you’ve got and overcome. dont whine to the devs to fix your problems by putting every hurdle you face on easymode[/QUOTE]

Quoted this because it was so awesome and people need to read it again.

That’s why I suggested it could be for example a 10 second buff after spawning. It would simply be there to allow the mediums and heavies to arrive at the front lines at the same time as the mediums, rather than the heavies arriving almost 2 seconds later. This is a team game, and mechanics that actively split up groups of players strike me as bad idea.

All heavy hitscan weapons except hjammerdeim need better starting accuracy and much slower increasing spread if they are to be reliable at objective defense and area denial.

If by awesome you meant amusingly stupid, I agree.

my first toon was and is an heavy, now that I’m playing another toon on medium/slim size, I see no interest in playing heavy again, like most people have stated, they are slow,have a much bigger hitbox, still die quickly and the heavy weapons are pretty much average.

IMO the only rare occasions I find usefull being a heavy is when you play as a soldier and do a barrage with the grenade launcher to disable that vehicle in Container City, other than that…
