Ok, I am all happy and joyus that n00b tubers are gone, and some of the more lame crap in BF2 has been resolved/removed. Joy joy, horrah horrah.
Guess what? There's a new n00b tube class. Its got nothing to do with a tank or a SRAW or any of those large explosive projectile tubes. Know what it is?
Support.
Suprised? Yeah, so was I when I found out. Get this, the PKM does as much damage as an SVD, and it has full auto, 100 rounds, and is now accurate as ****. (insert S word here, as we must be careful of the 12 year olds who see or hear such obscene language, while they shoot people and play their war games.)
But wait, there has to be a downside to being support right? Lets find out.
He Has infinite ammo, can spam hand grenades till the cows come home, has a SVD with full auto, has BODY armor for gods sakes, and doesn't require a tripod. Oh, he also has less endurance for running than the lighter classes. Maybe it has to do with that large machine gun that he carries that has a lot of recoil. Oh and lets not forget all the ammo on his back. But hey, he doesn't care does he? Apparently holding that heavy, bulky machine gun that has large amounts of recoil doesn't hinder him from walking AT you while firing and kill you. Im SO happy Dice/EA made support useful again. . . Oh wait. .
Anywho. .
I fully comprehend that the support weapons were crap before 1.2. I am aware of this in its entirety. I am also aware that AA was crap before 1.2, as am I aware that practically no one flies choppers or jets anymore because there's almost no point to it if the server you're on has at least one guy sitting in a stinger. Flares? Thats nice. Evaisive manuvers? You'd might as well grab your rip cord if you hear tone and your flares aren't ready.
I've used the PKM, the MG36, all the rest. Some people might have the gall to say I am somehow bitter about dying to them now. You know what? I am. Why? Its TOO damned easy. I sat in a corner on Karkand and peppered maybe 12 guys off their little spawn hill and no one was afk on their team. That was of course, 80 rounds later of pure spray.
Oh and please, none of that "But now its more realistic!" or "Oh but I've fired (insert random gun here that random trigger happy grunt in the Military used) and its nice and accurate and lethal!" BF2 isn't a reality game. Its an arcade game. We all know that. I am tired of getting shot by a dude that prones, fires off maybe 8 rounds, kills me from days away, then gets up again with the quickness to just prone for a second elsewhere.
You remember those guys that were 24/7 assault? That would ask for ammo once they used maybe two RGs? That were paranoid to be without an RG for any given moment? That would bunny hop all around you while they were reloading their tube instead of whipping out the bullets? Guess where they went?
GG.
