I read the medics could buff people to not take any damage for a while, then all the damage they would take, they would be given after the time expired. On top of that engineers I think it is, can buff your weapon, and soldiers can keep you going infinitely more or less with ammo. Stick a heavy with those buffs up and a minigun in a corridor... Ouch!

When I unlocked the Heavy size, I was a little reluctant to try it out at first.

However, I was dying so much (thanks a lot, teammate bots!) that I decided to experiment as a Heavy.

What. A. Difference. Especially if you have a machine-gun thing and assault rifles and good combos like that.

I was playing as a Heavy Medic (and got Battle Hardened and Supply increase) and it was soooooo much fun dominating those pesky enemy AI
who keep trying to flank my teammate AI, lol! I live much longer now, and I can revive/buff my teammmates on a more consistent basis.

I had a lovely time using the Heavy. ^_^

I rarely used SMART as a Medium, so Light is probably going to be useless for me, hee (especially if
I die faster. Trust me, with these teammate AI, you do NOT want to die faster, heh! :tongue: ).

I had an even lovelier time when I changed the difficult level from Normal to Easy, so maybe the enemy AI is not as ridiculous, lol.


Yup, I'm finding pure Medic-class and Heavy size helps me survive the hectic single-player campaign a lot better, lol.

Okay forget what I typed earlier. I faced 3 heavies on an enemy team and had a hell of a time killing them. Thank god my teamates were friends and not bots because I would've had a hard time wining that match.

Heavy and a minigun = moving Turret of doom

I'm loving the heavy, I'm only 13 on him now but coupled with ENG the only really hard spots I've found myself in were challenges.Obviously Parkour This, also just getting down-field in Be More Objective (4player co-op, was able to do 3 star after a few tries solo) without dmg buffs + turret cover fire.

I've been running with the Chinzor and a carb-9. Both will just mow people over at close range, once you have command post upgrade and battle hardened + metabolism you're very well set. When support was needed I just swap to the nade launcher + Gal with scope + drop a turret. I imagine that similar setups especially the later will work well with a medic too. Switch back and forth from medium to heavy and you'll notice the differences in health... generally it's just enough to take cover where you'd have died as a medium.

I run my first character as a heavy soldier, chinzor & mossington. I generally do very well, very survivable. All that running & hopping about jus gets in the way of the real fighting lol

I've had quite a lot of success as a heavy. I switch off between medium and heavy; they both have their pros and cons. I love the heavy only guns. I also play as a medic most of the time, so being a heavy is ideal for me. I get to attract a lot of attention from people who are under fire and people get to use me as a human shield. Come at me bro.

I like how when your a heavy you can have two ar's but that would only be use full if you are a soldier due to the lack of ammo

SIngleplayer or multiplayer? I have played only singleplayer* so far, and my experience is that NPC enemies can kill you with any weapon in about 2 seconds flat. They all seem to shoot you in the head. In my experience, I die fast as a medic heavy wielding the Chinzor. I play on medium difficulty.


EDIT: I have recently tried multiplayer. Also, I originally leveled my character 1-20 using Singleplayer.

A heavy I ran into once put a knockdown on about 3+ people with his GL and then destroyed us with the Chinzo, a good heavy is simply powerful

I play mostly on multiplayer. I've been playing as medic for a while, and end up administering health boosts to myself pretty often. It must be your play style. I use a minigun and I'm almost always spraying at the enemy when I'm not healing someone or behind cover.

My bad, I meant to say I played only singleplayer. I apologize, that was my mistake. On multiplayer, I do alright. In Singleplayer, at high levels, heavies do not feel tough or powerful. I die in an instant.
