I've absolutely loved the game so far however I feel like there should be more cross class weapons, for example:
~~All Secondaries should be cross class, i mean why can't I take a Heavy Bolt Pistol as a Sniper or Heavy? Or a Plasma Pistol as a Tactical or Assault?~~ ignore pls
Why can't I take a primary weapon as an Assault or a melee weapon as a Heavy?
Why can't I take a Thunder Hammer as a Bulwark or tactical? Or a Power Sword as an Assault or Vanguard?
Now don't get me wrong, I know balancing is a major part of the reason but honestly? having gotten to level 16 as the heavy i can confidently say I feel genuinely underpowered at times during the higher levels of game play, immensely so to be honest(Like when I either have bots or lower levelled/new people joining my Substantial difficulty mission forcing me to try and keep them alive), especially when a large horde of enemies appears as I'm forced to sit back and take pot shots with my Heavy Bolter and Plasma Pistol while simultaneously praying to the God Emperor of Mankind that multiple warrior's and Gaunts don't get past my team mates and that they aren't downed. Because while yes, the Heavy DOES have a melee attack it's down right useless in most situations as if I get swarmed? I have to hope to high heaven that my team mates can get to me in time while I desperately spam the charged stomp.
Now as I've said in other posts: I know and understand balancing is a major part of it, and I'm no game developer so don't know how difficult stuff like this actually is. I'm simply voicing an idea and hoping Focus and Sabre see it.
Edit:
To clear up any confusion about what I mean, I'm saying that, in the spirit of lore and table top accuracy, the classes should all have access to the combat knife, the Bulwark should have access to a thunder hammer(which would be lore accurate as for astartes not wearing Terminator Armour a thunder hammer is typically paired with a storm shield to cover for the lack of defence), The classes should all have access to the HBP and PP.
Also, to clear up any misconceptions about the Heavy, I'd like to point out I've been playing since September 5th, and am lvl 25 on Heavy(i was lvl 16 at the time of posting this idea originally), as such I can say with confidence that while YES the Heavy's stomp is good at clearing enemies off of you it's a CHARGED heavy attack meaning it's slow and speed is key if you're being swarmed, so parrying and the stomp will only get you so far before you get overwhelmed by both minoris and majoris enemies.
Now yes this may be a skill issue on my part or a poor choice in primary weapon as those are definitely both possibilities, but I'd say that I've gotten pretty good at parrying and gun striking, and ammo conservation as the Heavy so I figured I'd add that I felt kinda underpowered in MELEE as the big boi, outside of melee he's an absolute beast that excels at CC and Boss shredding.
