Engineer fix please...

[Solar71]

Hey all...

I really like the idea of playing engineer...
EXCEPT the kit sucks HUGE ASS!!!

Here is the problem...

When i play Support, i run around and get all kinds of points for giving guys ammo... i just run around with my ammo bag out and i get some points...
ussually 5-10 support points per round...

When i play medic i also ussually get about 5-10 points for heal and revive...
All is well....

But when i play engineer its a totally different story...
I run around and when i see a vehicle that is damaged i run up to it...
But when a vihicle is REALLY messed up, the driver 90% of the time, gets out...

So i repair it, but get ZERO points for it...
Most of the time when a vehicle is damaged really badly the driver gets out...
So i dont get any points...

Once in a while i am lucky enough to get a vehicle and drive around , and when i drive close to a damaged vehicle, i get a few points...

But when i lay mines, i get out of the vehicle, and ussually my vehicle gets taken...

Also even when i am in a vehicle close to another vehicle, lets say the vehicle i am fallowing gets hit and badly damaged... the driver ussually does not know i am right behind him, so he jumps out, and i get ZERO points...

I always get the fewest points with engineer...
I dont play medic or support or engineer any better, or worse then the other...
But i always score the most kills AND the most points with medic and support class...

The engineer class is ALWAYS the lowest scoring...
Also the shotgun is VERY WEAK and the range is just TOO LOW!!!
They need to help the engineer class a lot...

Please DICE do not ignore the engineer class... please fix it...
because as of now, its completly broken...

thanks

PS : one suggestion...
give points to an engineer for fixing a vehicle if someone was in it, but is now not... Like, lets say someone was in a vehicle... they get hit and get out... now i run up to the vehicle to repair it... But i dont get any points because the driver got out...

So give the engineer a time span of about 1 minute...
If a driver gets out of a vehicle, and i start to repair in within 1 minute of his exit from the vehicle, give me a FRICKIN point for it...

I know some people will abuse this by throw frags and shooting a vehicle, getting in it, then getting out and fixing it...

But people abuse the support kit with standing close to a guy thats throwing frags , and he just keeps throwing them to give points... and people abuse the medic kit by killing and reviving...

Maybe you can think of a way to stop the abusers...
BUT PLEASE FIX ENGINeer.... this kit is completely broken...

thanks again

Re: Engineer fix please...

I agree. The engi kit is the only support class where you can't drop something and leave it for your teammate to re-up on. Because of this, the only time I play engi, is when I want my own vehicle fixed. So yea, engi to me is only a support class for myself.

It was a great class in BF1942, probably the only class I played in 1942 due to his rifle. It hurts me to see it so crippled in BF2

Well, I'd rather have that pump action than the DAO-12, just my 2 cents.

Re: Engineer fix please...

I noticed that the engineer does not get as much points as they should. Definatly not the worst class. At this moment in time its my favorite. I LOVE the shotguns, i used to like the semi auto ones the most, now i only like the pump actions. I usually allways get the highest score. And belive it or not, loads of kills with the shotgun, It would be nice if the wrench acted like an ammo bag or health pack.

For example it could even be changed to be a bag of nuts and bolts and you just run around holding it and you could throw it down and when a vehicle ran over it, it would automatically fix, just like the others. Maybe not to full health though as people could just whore that right next to a vehicle, maybe like only 1 or 2.

But engineers should get alot more points. But really im not too bothered. Im usually engineer because i prefer the shotgun over every other default weapon on USMC, and Second to medic as PLA ( AK-47 for some reason is the best gun ). And also to take out tanks.

Re: Engineer fix please...

Just take Engi if you're going to be in vehicles. Then instead of worrying about teamwork points you can rack up the kills, then repair your own vehicle if it gets damaged (they[the vehicle] do come with smoke grenades). The rest is unimportant. If you're going to Tank/APC/Etc. Whore be Engi. Otherwise just go kill stuff.

Re: Engineer fix please...

well with the 3rd patch coming out, which will give spec ops pts for destroying enemy's assets. I'm pretty sure that demand for our service will go, since I believe more players playing as spec ops prob will attempt to blow up the assets more, since it will be worth their time. Dont worry, their will be more points to be made as an engineer...

ps: does any know of the point value, that a player will gain for blowing up the enemy's assets?

Re: Engineer fix please...

I'm surprised so many people are having trouble with the shotgun. It's one hit kill if all the pellets hit the enemy. Such an easy gun to use.

I don't know how you play the game as an engineer. But i usually get into the top5.

Also the shotgun is VERY WEAK and the range is just TOO LOW!!!

Never tried the Jackhammer before? It is a powerfull gun if you can handle it. And about the range,.. you can shoot down enemy's with one shot from quit a distance if you know where to hit.

Re: Engineer fix please...

One thing that needs fixing IMO: is the Repair badges. Basic is 5 okay, veteran is 15 and expert is 25 repairs in ONE ROUND?! In that case double the requirements for First Aid & Resupply badges.

Re: Engineer fix please...

i can agree on this the engie class can and should be a damm good place to play and a must have on the field of battle however i can agree with all points of this matter when playin support/medic its so easy to work the point like a slot machine so good you can be accused of stat padding.
however when ya go to fix the artillery for one it takes a good bit of time to repair this artillery unit and you get only 1 repair point and if ya run to the next artillery and fix it fully 9 times outta 10 you wont get a point for this repair. or if your ridding in a vehicles as a wrench you can drive past other vehicles and keep them fix or even better have 2 wrenches in lav's side by side takin serious fire and fixing each other this can go on for a good bit and ya wont even see 1 thats right not even 1 freakin repair point. this class needs a serious over all in how it gets its points

this is the reason why I took the jackhamer as an unlock, now as an engineer, there is nowbody who will dare to come in a close range to you, and if they do, they are dead as hell with this thing, jackhamer rocks

Yes... what he said.

Weapons of the Eng. class being one thing... but compared to the Med. + Sup. the eng class really needs an overhall

Re: Engineer fix please...

I think I got my highest score while playing engineer with most of this actually being on foot so it is not a useless class. I love the pump action and that thing is amazing for up close and short/medium range. It is also the best sneaky weapon by far due to its one shot kill. I once saw a squad going between buildings in single file on Karland so I joined the end of the queue and ended up taking them all out one by one. I could not have done that with any other gun.

They do need to sort out its repair points though as it is nowhere near the level of medic and support. You can actually go around fixing all map and get virutally no repair points sometimes if the vehicles are all just damaged a little.

I would also like to see the class get another toy as the mines are pretty worthless expect if you want to find out who is the dumbest on your own team. Maybe something like the time bomb from BF:V might be fun or even maybe the ability to booby trap vehicles. I can see myself enjoying booby trapping Blackhawks
