Weapon Balancing

Re: Weapon Balancing

But you keep missing my point... the gun itself will beat anything (Other than specialist and a shotgun at close range.) Especially with an M16.

Only just, and TBH you are not often in a equal fight in the game.. most of the time the person who fires first wins. Yes i agree that if two people walked around a corner at the same time both with 100% health then the assault would edge it. but how many times does that happen in the average round? not many.

Add to that the fact that support has more going for it is the reason why more people play that as appose to assault.

Re: Weapon Balancing

75% of the time now when i play, i play assault with the M16 just because of the accuracy is so much higher. And with the health plunger you can't really fail, unless you get into a battle with a tank in which your grenade launcher will only draw attention to yourself.

It's a LOT more prevalent than you think. Especially when taking down multiple targets.

Re: Weapon Balancing

All i seem to die to is the M16. That and the SVU, which really gets to me because i cant kill a thing with that gun.

Recon
The sniper rifles are fine so I don't think any changes need to be made there. The pistol however seems to be 2-3 hit kill which is a bit silly really. I think the damage should be reduced as it should be a last resort weapon for the sniper not a close combat alternative.

Ill take the revolver over the xm8 or f2000 in any situation. I'm surprised dice didn't allow it to destroy tanks too

Re: Weapon Balancing

The only class i think needs fixing is the demo class shotguns are to over powered and beats an assault rifle

Other than that i think weapon balance is fine.

Personally i think shotguns are fine, anywhere within 20 metres you are going to get devastated by them anyway.

Re: Weapon Balancing

I unlocked the SVU last night, the scope seems like it doesn't zoom in as much as the bolt actions?

And so it shouldn't. Else it'd just be entirely lethal and there'd be no challenge in it :P

I think it makes it easier to snipe, the SVU is meant for the close quarters city type sniping really. Not like the kind you would do on Oasis.

Somewhat off topic but I figured I'd give our friend here a ray of hope -

You can destroy and suppress enemy helicopters with the revolver.
That's right - don't need an AA Gun or AT missiles anymore - a lone sniper with a revolver can act as the team's Anti-Air asset.

Ah DICE, how far you have fallen

Yeah i hate that kind of situation, shot down by a guy with an MG36 is highly frustrating

All the same the guy is probably just sitting out in the open blasting away. Makes an easy target for the chain gun on the bottom of the Apache.

Re: Weapon Balancing

I was never a fan of the total air dominance in BF2, but i shot down a chopper with an M16 today. I'm all for balance, but im pretty sure a 5.56 round wouldn't fuss a chopper very much. :hmm:
