why does EA hate engineers!?

[the_waffler]

I just don't get it. Why does EA insist that the Engineer class be absolutely worthless in long-range combat? The MP7 was awesome before the patch, now it is less useful at long ranges than the fugging knife.

one thing is for certain: I hate shotguns so I am never ever in my wildest dreams, going to play the engineer class

Re: why does EA hate engineers!?

get in a tank or APC, that's what they want u to do.
aircrafts have been nerfed, anti-tanks have been bugged,
mines are indestructable, and u still want more love?

The MP7 rocked before the patch. At best, it's mediocre now. Still, I don't care much for shotguns, so I may still use the MP7 as engineer.

No ones really mining bases in defense yet. That is huge contribution of engineer clas. Last night in Dajing oil fields I was mining and holding the cistern. I killed so many vehicles. My squad was playing USMC on dragon valley and we took the chineese main base and mined the **** out of it. We held it the entire round.

Once more people start laying down mines you are going to need engineers to remove them. Mine defense is a huge contribution of the engineer class. Now with the last patch they can do their job.

Shot guns rule. Their is a reason they gave engi's shotty. There is no need to fight long range if you have a vehicle. Use your transport to close in on the enemy then blow them away with shotty at close range.

Man pump shottys are deadly. 90% of the time an engineer sees me up close im dead.

Seconded. For the love of god, change it! *walks away, severely traumatised*

As for the engineers, hasn't it occured to you that you're not a combat class? The role of an engineer is to support the team and make better use of vehicles. The weaponry you're given is a defensive tool. Your most mighty weapon is the magic wrench, use it well! That said, I think engineers deserve more points for making repairs, as that's really their main source.

The MP7 now sucks as much as the Anti Tank guns (Excluding the DAO)

[fore a lot]

Re: why does EA hate engineers!?

Could it be... most engineer players do not complain. They don't bug EA for the gameplay issues. So 1.2 upgraded most soldier classes(snipers got most??) but left out and nerfed the engineers.

Okay you think engineers FF OFF landmine is an upgrade? to me, hell NO. B4 1.2, we can use landmine as offensive weapon(no needs to correct me for what is mine because BF2 is just a game). We spot a tank, hide(most charge it like C4 dudes did), tossed one or two mines, then chuck one nade and then BAM.

Now all we can do is SPAM the mines. Like it or not.

Whining will be always there no matter how they patch the game. i'll just play anyhow.

I just think EA doesn't like fixing something good

Re: why does EA hate engineers!?

*sigh*

The engineer isn't an offensive force, full stop. If they want to go on the offensive, they grab a tank. The role of an engineer is to repair vehicles and assets (for which I believe they deserve more points), defend places with mines, and operate vehicles. The MP7 didn't help them fulfill any of these purposes, so stop complaining about it being nerfed.
If you want combat capacity that badly, use a different class.

Engineer = helper. Alright?

While thats true I only found that usefull a few times, when I layed the mine and the guy in the tank wouldnt move at all. Other than that just lay a mine under him or to the side and your fine.

EA wanted to make BF2 easy for noobs.
