The Heavy

newguy · 09-19-2007, 06:34 PM

What are your thoughts about The Heavy? Do you think he is too powerful?

Personally, I think that The Heavy class is overpowered, and that the overheating thing needs to be sorted so that it is not so quick to shoot again. However, whenever I see The Heavy, I get an "Oh Sh*t!" feeling, which I like since I think that is the effect The Heavy is supposed to project.

What do you think?

I agree that the oh shit factor should be taken into consideration. In TFC it was more "lolconc". The problem, at least from my point of view, isn't in the damage the hwg does, he should kill you fast. The CD on overheating seems to work well too. The problem is that the AC's cone of fire is much too narrow. Its very easy to kill someone from across a map like push or even SD2 (I went sniping as an hw and was killing people exiting the enemy base one night). I think if the cone of fire is widdened, possibly the tracer round dropped or made harder to see, the hwg class could be ballanced a bit more.

It's fine. A good heavy should be a challenge.

lol Just what The Heavy needs

HW's cone of fire is going to be made wider to make it harder to kill enemies on the other end of the map. Or so I've heard.

the HW is very strong but dont make it too weak where its pointless to play, or not fun. dont do what TF2 did to the heavy

Digital_Ghost · 09-19-2007, 07:44 PM

I dont find the HW that tough. you can do one of 3 things.

1.Conc him and circle strafe with the nail gun and CB.

2. Go spy, play head games with him, make him parinoid as hell, then cut him up.

3. Burn him to death wit the new lovely pyro and make him scream for mercy.

SoBe Green · 09-19-2007, 07:48 PM

The only thing wrong with the HW is that he can fire at near perfect accuracy across the map. This is being addressed in the next patch from what I've heard so no worries.
