For the love of god people...

There seem to be an increasing number of posts that look like they were written by someone in grade 5. If you're in grade 5 and posting on here then have Mommy or Daddy proofread it for you. If you are in fact older than that learn how to use a spellchecker like the one above.

Poor spelling makes people not take your posts seriously.

Second word of your main paragraph, 'SEEM', should be spelled as 'SEEMS'...

The words, 'mommy' and 'daddy' don't have to be capitalized..

Just trying to help all forum members post serious looking posts by eliminating poor spellers..

Re: PKM is OVERPOWERED NOW!!!

Personally, the gun is decent now. It's FAIR to be able to kill stuff in front of your gun. Seriously, people were so used to sucking machine guns that they actually charged straight forward(jumping). Now they die very easily if they do this. Sprinting sidewise is your friend now, because after the first 3 shots, the pkm still has bad accuracy at medium range. It's really the first 3 bullets that have been improved. The rest is still hopeful spraying.

So looking at this from my point of view:

Pre-patch:

LMG's were a joke, and totally unused in competitive clans i've seen. You could literally crouch and aim for the guy while he spent his ammo around you. Worse...assault could charge straight in, jump and kill you with their tubes without any worries.
You could laugh at a sniper with your AK-101.

Now
Anyone foolish enough to charge straight at a mg gets shelled, but also, the mg's can hit very well with their first 3 shots at medium to long range. Mg's can now be used decently while standing for close encounters.

It's not like the noobs will kill you more with their pkm, it's simply that other classes (assault, medic, spec ops) were enjoying an easier time pre-patch. Now there is a support class...yay for variety.

Re: PKM is OVERPOWERED NOW!!!

i guess that the pkm is balanced by the rather slow fire rate compared to the M249, so im guessing that the OKM is a more accrurate suppressing fire model compared to a less accurate but faster firing M249 which is can easily outgun a PKM at close range

Okay then, I will just keep owning everyone with the PKM then. I just hope no one thinks I'm hacking with unlimited grenades and 100rds of ammo. Support, I mean assault..... I mean..... ahh whatever Support owns, assault is dead. Don't get kicked off the server like the guy last night for swearing after I kill you 5 times in a row.

Support should have the most powerful fire power among all of the infantry classes.
Do not worry I wont call you cheater if you kill me five times in a row. I had worse than that :) FYI I never called someone a cheater in the game even if it were very obvious :) there are 30 other guys on the server to do this job. Also if someone is obviously cheating I wont complain. I will just quitely take a proof of it to EA, if I can put my hands on such a proof.

also the pkm needs 3 shots to kill, like the G3 and the AK variants. if you feel like you can do one head shot kill with it then remeber that the G36C can do a better job, right? It does not matter if I shoot at the head with a tank shell or carbine bullet.... hmmmmm or pkm bullet.

Re: PKM is OVERPOWERED NOW!!!

Yeah, yeah :)

What I meant to infer with that post is that I didn't think the PKM was overpowered.

Hence with my +1 I was adding my vote to that post because I agree.

Re: PKM is OVERPOWERED NOW!!!

They shouldn't have made it more accurate...it was fine before...all it took was skill...once again...just like the rest of this patch (other than the bunnyhopping/dolphin diving removal part) the whiners got thier way....

Getting top of round continously on karkand 64 plyr servers was not that hard with the pkm if u had skill....

Now the no skill whiners got thier way....AAAgain....

Re: PKM is OVERPOWERED NOW!!!

Haven't used the PKM since the patch I was using the MG36 for a change when I played support. I did notice some accuracy improvements. I'll have to check out the PKM tonight. I'm glad they improved the kit. Never made sense to get owned by assault/medic/spec kits at almost any range unless you got the drop on them.

Re: PKM is OVERPOWERED NOW!!!

Lugal and DieFlendermaus...look at the morons you are playing against.


You guys forget that the enemy can also make a BIG difference as a factor.
The true way to test the weapon is to play in a server where you are a regular and you play against regulars. Then you can somewhat better tell the difference, because the regulars are a control variable instead of an uncontroled one that coul be affecting your results.
