        from feedback "good job EA/DICE"

        4. Adjusted deviation on MG36 and PKM to be in line with other support weapons.

          Yea, its been 'nerfed'. That thing was a man-eater in the right hands and now its like they have shortened the barrel and therefore decreased accuracy and damage.

          EA is really been pissing off their BF2 communities and I'm becoming wuite upset myself. They just keep patching things until they need patches for patches because they release them too soon and underdeveloped and there are still audio problems with the G3 and healing yourself and swithching kits.

            So, they adjusted the deviation. that isnt a nerf in damage at all. it is an adjustment to the accuracy. It would be nice to know if this was a standard deviation change or one only in full-auto though.

              Yeah they changed it from 1.2.. 1.3 is the patch that changed it.

              1.2 it was literally, a sniper.

              1.3, it is still.. a sniper.. lol

              It's just a little less accurate.

                I am ~2000 points away from my last unlock...and the pkm and mg36 is left for me. I picked up the pkm and WOW...it is a killing machine. I lined up parallel to where the MEC's spawn next to the square and killed massive people in a row.

                  ya know I thought it felt less effective . especialy since thats my weapon of choice. Usually I short burst it and get my kills..now it seems like I short burst it more than normal to get a kill now. I thought it was just me having a bad day. lol. Atleast now I know that its not just me.

                    That's usually what happens when you spawn camp .

                        yeah, this was the only change to the PKM that I actually noticed while playing.. that thing became crazy accurate during that patch; and then of course I saw the difference (and was relieved) when they nerfed it back 1 or 2 patches later.

                          none of the guns feel usefull, theyre all innacurate pieces of ****. tis as if dice only want vehicles to do the killing and to let players only get a kill when they shoot a whole clip

                          but anyway, pkm can still kill people, u just sit back and do rapid single shots at people. you cant kill very well if you do small bursts of 3 or more bullets, you can hit something big like a car, but not a person when u do that.

                          i found it to be "okish" after it got boosted up, still wasnt impressed with it... all guns should be that deadly and more so for assault weapons!!

                            Just about a whole clip required to get one kill. Thought it was just me.

                              I been using the PKM since i got it as my first ever unlock (account daleyp, around august 05) and then gave it away when they altered its accuracy and everybody wanted it. Thought 'bugger that, i dont wanna be part of the crowd' so moved to the assault rifle and gren launcher for ranged shots... good move now i use it when noone is support, but i'll steal an MEC MG asap if im on an MEC map
