I don't think the assault kit will diminish. Instead it'll probably just adapt and evolve and probably shed itself of its NooBish image its been given of late.

Re: End of the Assualt Class?

I voted yes, mainly 'cause I'm going to be curious as to how the changes effect my gameplay and I'm also determined to make it work.

I play Assault a large portion of the time, love infantry maps and moving in a squad from flag to flag. With the GL and Rifle, the Assault class if perfect for killing the enemy, and the GL helps with jeeps / etc. I'm an admitted GL user, but most of the time its at distance, so the arming range really won't bother me.

I'll probably miss the jump + shoot action more than anything. Its become second habit, even at medium ranges. Jump (making yourself a harder target), and fire away, though this change will effect all classes.

Re: End of the Assualt Class?

I can play any kit just fine but I prefer the assault kit because I like to get up close and personal. The benefit of having a tube that works at 5 meters is that if you run into 3 people you can take out 1 with the tube and 2 with the rifle or maybe finish the last one off with the pistol.

There will be no more close tube shots now but there wont be anymore idiotic bunny hopping/insta prone/dolphin diving while shooting either so as assault you will still have a good chance at finishing people off because of better armor and weapon damage.

It seemes that ppl think the splash damage of the tube will be nerfed but in interviews it's mainly the GP-25 (chinese tube) that will be nerfed. I will still continue to use the tube long range for 1 shot kills because it reduces the amount of time I have to expose myself to enemy fire.

GP-30 is MEC, the Chinese tube is the GP-25. :)

I still wanna know what happened to that 2/6 update which is no longer on the main site, they said they INCREASED the splash and decreased the reload time, aside from undoing the minimum arm time.

Sry it's corrected now. :) One of the tubes has an unreasonable splash (bug maybe?) compared to the others. I think it is the chinese. I very rarely play on chinese maps as assault so I'm not shure. The splash on the US and MEC tubes seeme pretty equal. I read about this change in one of the dev interviews.

The arming distance is confirmed according to their (EA) own postings.

That was three words and a model # for a gun, but ya, i get the point.

Don't be silly, "and" isn't a real word, and I can't find "G3" in a dictionary.

Re: End of the Assualt Class?

Well as you know, the noob tube is gonna be nerfed by having a activation timelimet(i support this) and a reduction to its spalsh dmg(not needed imo). Is this gonna kill the assualt class. The only good thing about assault for most players was the ablity to noob tube , smoke grenades are uslesss (althought I was able to kill somebody with one)
and body armor is no where as good as a medic pack. Is assault gonna be forgotten?

Well I don't think it will make any difference really except to the noob tubers.
I've nearly always used assault class and don't really use the Grenade Launcher.I disagree with saying the smoke grenade are useless I use them all the time.Usually best to use them as your advancing to a contact.Gives you a few seconds to get your squad to flank the enemy at the smoke or enough to obscure the enemy's view as the smoke lifts you can let rip or advance through it

Re: End of the Assualt Class?

I loved the M203 when I used it. I never really used it in the 'noob tube' role either. Its actually quite easy to aim and use as a mortar; In the case of the new patch, this is still possible.

So, yes, I wil use it when I need it.

I think bouncing nades will be awesome, round corner shots here I come.

Re: End of the Assualt Class?

Yeah, I think the new patch is going to seriously tick me off... That's why I'm playing as much as I can now before the patch.. I don't like the new GL one bit. That is my only defense to being run over by a jeep. Now it will just bounce off and I will be toast... Not only are they adding a time delay but they are reducing the splash damage as well... Maybe they should just remove it completely since it will be almost worthless...

I like pancakes. :)


Seriously now. Don't forget, the G3 is being improved in the patch, and it owns already. I think we are going to see a lot more people using this gun and not the standard assault rifles after the patch is released.
