Universal Weapon Attachments

[The_Eliminator]

Ok this topic has been hotly debated over at the official forums and there are a lot of mixed opinions so i wondered what yours were on the situation? Mostly regarding the Garand, G3 and M14 (also ammo fix for M14).

Personally i think the G3 is the best gun in the game and has some of the best ironsights aswell to go with it so this gun doesnt really need the iron sights even though they would be handy. However this gun does need to be tweaked in terms of its full auto, even at a few metres standing still or crouched it seems to have a massive cone of fire and sometimes can feel like your shooting blanks.

In terms of the Garand the biggest problem with it atm is people either cant use it or the stats dont track for it. However in terms of damage and ironsights again its a very powerful weapon with very easy to use sights, although a x4 scope would be beneficial and make it an effective counter sniper.

Now the M14 is where most people are arguing for the sights. Its a powerful weapon when combined with magnum ammo however the ironsights are shocking to say the least. Not only that but in the description for the gun it says it comes with a stock scope and also a 20 ROUND CAPACITY MAG which in the game it doesnt (only has 10) however people have argued whether dice are going to fix this.

So basically i wanted to know your opions?

Re: Universal Weapon Attachments

I expect the Battle Rifles to be the DMR of BC2, but that is not going to happen without optics.
On the other hand there is also a balance issue. The only one I have tried yet is the Garand, it don't see a scope on that as being a problem. But like the Thompson, add-ons may not fit with the idea behind including the classic weapons

Re: Universal Weapon Attachments

i'm thinking they should've added more specializations to unlock for all class weapons, like the optics.

Re: Universal Weapon Attachments

The G3 and the M14 should defo have sights, just have them class specific (so if you have the 4x for Recon then you can use it on your M14, but if you only have the Red Dot for Medic, you can only use that, or the sights ofcourse.

The M1 shouldn't have sights ofcourse.

Re: Universal Weapon Attachments

The M14 would be brutal with 4x Zoom. I didn't like it at first, but tried it with the Magnum Ammo and it was taking out guys in 2 shots. It's pretty accurate, got a few headshots at mid distance.

Re: Universal Weapon Attachments

maybe it will come in the form of DLC?

Re: Universal Weapon Attachments

What does everyone think about the M14 though and its ammo problem? It states in the description it has a 20 capacity mag when in game it only has 10 and people are not sure if this is a bug or not. Also the G3 IMO should have been a 25 round capacity mag.

I agree with the garand and the thompson not having sights as they are the classic weapons.

25? Don't you mean 20?

Feed system 20-round detachable box magazine

Re: Universal Weapon Attachments

Sorry i meant the G3 should be a 25 clip magazine. The description for the M14 says it has a 20 clip magazine whereas in game for some reason it only has 10?

For example look at the description for the M14 on this site, it is pulled straight from the game.

It says it should have a 20 round capacity mag and also have a telescopic sight, neither of which we actually have.

Re: Universal Weapon Attachments

Balance, maybe? But the real-life G3 only has a 20 round magazine.
One of the reasons the Danish army moved from the G3 to the Diemaco C7A1 was that it has a 30 round magazine, as compared to the 20 rounds of the old G3. I believe that is also the reason form the general shift from Battle Rifles to Assault Rifles in armies around the world.

Re: Universal Weapon Attachments

yeah but in reality the G3 has a 20 round mag only, and in terms of realism without going totally overboard they have done pretty well actually, except for the MK14 EBR (M14) only having 10 rounds while being modeled for a 20 rd mag and description stating the same thing.

Re: Universal Weapon Attachments

Ah right ok then i take back what i said about the G3 i didnt know it was only 20 rounds. However i do hope they fix the M14.

Re: Universal Weapon Attachments

stock scope

telescopic sight

I think you're misreading. It says telescoping stock. Here:



Of course, you can't mess with the stock in game (why would you want to?) so the reason they even mention this in the weapon description is beyond me. Space filler perhaps?

IMO, they shouldn't be calling it a designated marksman rifle without optics and I wish it had at least a 4x ACOG. Unfortunately I don't think we'll see optics for these weapons since the G3 and M14 are the only ones that you would feasibly put optics onto. Unless you put a red dot on the revolver or something...still...not enough demand to warrant any action aside from DICE giving you a lollipop and pushing you back into the meat grinder. Sadly.

Brutal, really?
It has the same stats as semi auto sniper rifles.

Re: Universal Weapon Attachments

Hmm maybe we are out of luck asking for the scope for the M14 but i do hope they fix the clip issue.
