I'm not, I like the uniqueness each factions HA had. If you want a JH come play the NC. Otherwise deal with it.

The entire point of the factions is strengths and weaknesses, I would like to see that continue to some degree to encourage different styles of play by them.

Good luck with that one. Far as I can tell, everyone pretty much has a striker.

Re: Game launching with HA?


last thing i read from the devs was a while ago, that the art was done but the new animations and coding was not finished. they have shown us a pic of the MCG though.

personaly i am hopeing the MCG, Jackhammer and Lasher are more high impact, low staying power wepons for bashing through a well defended position. that way the HA LMG will still have a role as the standard well rounded gun of choice while out in the field.

I have a feeling that HA weapons are right around the corner. Either they surprise us and have them in at the start of external beta, or they add them in shortly after.

Heavy Assault should have access to LMG's, battle rifles(?), anti-vehicle weaponry, and classic "heavy assault" weaponry. Also, I believe the LMG/BR is a must have selection, with AV and HA competing for the second weapon slot?
Yep, they have stated in the past that you wouldn't be able to use both HA and AV in the same loadout. So your BR/LMG/AR/shotgun/whatever would go in your weapon slot, and your HA or AV would go into the "tool" slot.

The HA weapons will probably take the longest to balance.

Definelty, especially if its going from a battle riffle to a chain gun. They should both be powerful but at the same time not so gimped that they only are viable in a certain situation that will rarely happen.

Like for instance the chain gun spraying all over the place past 30 feet. Sure its good in a hallway, but in any semi open are it goes to garbage. I dont want to see that, but ya i can see that being a huge issue to make it so something like that doesnt happen. But i also dont know if thats how weaponry will actually play out.
