IMO, he may seem weaker, but consider this: He can single-handedly prevent armor from moving, and destroy 5 pieces of it before he has to re-arm himself.

The standard pump shotty in CQC is THE one shot, one kill weapon.

I do agree that his repair points could come faster, though. There have been many threads on this, and I think the consensus is in agreement on that point.

i agree with this guy, if you use the kit wisely he can become an effective weapon in the battle.

LOl I didn't ask for them to repair me and if you knew anything about tanking then you would know that you would actually avoid AT missiles by backing up.

Re: BF2 Engineer Unbalanced

I've been playing as the engineer a lot lately. I've realized that the engi seems a little bit weaker than all the other classes. Anyone else think that maybe they should give the engineer a little bit more oomph? Perhaps they could give him a stronger pistol, or make repair points a little bit faster to get?

Totally agree! The old engineer had two special things, the repair and the mining.
Both of them sucked, the repairing giving no points and the mining easy to see and remove...

Nowadays on the Inf only servers, engineers have lost everything they had, and are now just stupid to use unless you rush Hotel at SAK...

The MP7, i think, is the biggest waste of time in the game! Seriously mate get the jackhammer and keep your finger down, 7 auto shots, greater damage than the MP7 and sounds like a gun and not someone flicking through a book:)

Will agree with repair points, seriously unbalanced. As medic it's easy to get 100+ points in a round, as engineer, if you have to rely on repairing you'd be lucky to get 8!!

Are you insane? The MP7 sounds absolutelty great. just a perfect ripping noise. And it is a good gun for scaring the bejeezus out of people, they notice when 20 rounds are flying at them at once.

gotta love the jackhammer

Re: BF2 Engineer Unbalanced

Yeah, backing up those 10 feet lessen the impact of the enemy's tank round. That kills me when a tanker backs up when face to face with another tank. They hear the wrenching, but back up thinking that will cause less damage to their tanks...

Who's the idiot?

Well not chodda...

Who the **** would just sit there?

If you see/hear an AT rocket.. are you just going to sit there and take it? Why not try to move out of the way..?


If you see a tank... are you going to sit still so he can take his time and aim at your tracks or try to go for the one shot kill? NO... exactly. By moving, you are a moving target, which is harder to hit.


Anyone that gets run over by a tank, and it was their fault (which it is every time 100% UNLESS the tanker does it on purpose..), and punishes, needs to just stop playing BF2.


One time I have TK'ed like 6 people when I was in a tank, and it wasn't because I don't know how to use the tank.

You can't stop a tank instantly... it weighs how many TONS... You really think if you walk right out in front of it... it's going to stop and wait for you to cross?

How about this... try going outside and crossing the road... BUT, wait until the car is about 50 feet from you, and run out into the middle of the road in front of them.. see what happens then..



In BF2, pedestrians do NOT have right of way :laugh:

and if you see a tank, don't cross it's path. And if you do on accident... and he tk's you.. then don't punish FFS!








Edit: Oh and btw how can you think the engineer is underpowered? You have a pump shotty! AND you have mines which can get you a ton of kills if you know where to put them.



M11-87 > Every gun

Re: BF2 Engineer Unbalanced

best thing to do as an engineer, sneak in the back of their base, put mines under enemy vehicle spawn points. Best thing to do when your in a ******* mood.

Re: BF2 Engineer Unbalanced

the best thing I can do to avoid at rockets, is pop smoke, and shoot back about 30 feet. The people I play with know to repair from the sides/underneath.

Re: BF2 Engineer Unbalanced

wow if the engy stands to the side near the back he dont get kileld when it reverses, duh. and the pumpy rocks! so does the jackhammer

[7man]

Re: BF2 Engineer Unbalanced

Would not really matter to me cause I like engi when I am in a tank but when I am out of one usally not engi.

Yep scares me............... everytime i use it:)

It has the same damage as the pistol per shot.

Tell you what....you and me...i'll have the jackhammer and you have the MP7:)

Re: BF2 Engineer Unbalanced

I dive underneath tank to repair and hope he doesnt blow up before i get out of there, hehe.

Re: BF2 Engineer Unbalanced

If youre gonna play as engineer you have to be prepared to get low points in some rounds. Im going for the veteran combat so i need the hours. In a full on 64 map, it can be very effective. Also, how does the repair points distribution work? Because sometimes when you fully repair say....., the UAV you get none and other times ive had three from one object.
