Who said the heavies can't get to the battlefield? Idk how they are gonna fix this but they need to.

Ha, that's funny. I was thinking about exploiting that as well by playing as a Heavy. I remember in a video they said that they did that intentionally to help you catch up to the person so you can heal/buff them. I'm curious as to how they would try and fix this.

I heard it was to help you get close in on someone to buff them, kinda negates the point of heavies being slow though.

Edit: This should be in gameplay discussion. Sorry mods : /

Wait, I don't get it, how does this affect the game other than allowing heavies to get up to their teammates quicker? Also, how do you pull this off?

Nice glitch. Reminds me of the heavies that just run up, melee with their AR, and send you flying down the ENTIRE hallway.........I'll give you a recording of that when I can get my Dazzle some AV splitters.

If you're behind the person you want to heal/buff, the game speeds you up to allow you to catch up to them. If a heavy is trying to heal/buff a teammate that is medium or light, they'll be boosted to their speed until they've successfully healed/buffed them.

Me and my friend have been doing this all day, with me being light and him being heavy. I can lug him around the map with me. Creates a really good two man duo strategy with the heavy being the fire power and the light there to fuel him with buffs and take him around the map with this little trick.
