Re: Rooftop Camping PKM Style, now with video.

his point wasnt how bad ass he and his pkm are, his point is that the weapon is unbalanced.

Re: Rooftop Camping PKM Style, now with video.

My two problems with the PKM:

1) I can never figure out which one it is lol. I don't know what it looks like because it's a new unlock, so I never know if I have it until it's unlocked.

2) I'm sad because even once I'm sure I have it, everyone says it's so accurate, but I'm no good with it. After seeing that video I'm going to try it out again!

Re: Rooftop Camping PKM Style, now with video.

This thread is already becoming disturbingly similar to the Highway to the Boredom Zone thread. These "oh, you were on a newbie server!" posts have already gotten old, and aren't very constructive.

This video isn't for showboating, but rather a mild form of entertainment coupled with a reasonable demonstration of what a PKM can do as long as your aim is accurate and your firing technique is good. Out sniping snipers at huge ranges like the last few kills in the video is unbalanced, and detracts from the rest of the game.

Re: Rooftop Camping PKM Style, now with video.

Very nice shooting. I agree with you that the PKM is too much as it currently stands.

My question for you though is, what do you think will fix the problem? The one thing you should do when posting an issue thread is include a proposed solution.


My thought on it is to make the initial cone of fire much larger, but have the maximum cone of fire smaller. So what you end up with is a true support weapon. You can spray down an area effectively, but you won't be engaging with individual rounds or on individual targets. Clusters of troops and strategic areas will be what you shoot at.

the PKM is pretty much the best gun around now.

Wow, I will give you credit, your aim was very true. Aiming is probably my biggest weakness, but then again I have poor eyesight relatively speaking.

I was on Oman the other night near the hotel. I saw a sniper on the hotel roof. I was playing medic with my m16. I was by the AA launcher. I look up, aim and with two shots killed him before he could fire. It was probably my sweetest kill. You just don't expect to kill a sniper from that distance with an m16.

Oh, and the Pink Floyd was cool. Keep posting vids, I love them.

It's the light green one. The regular LMG is black.

Isn't that what DICE is supposed to do? Heh, though I already proposed a solution in another thread to bring the PKM perfectly in line with all of the other weapons.

Add a 1-1.5 second no firing time when going in to prone stance much like you get when jumping. Triple (at least) the deviation for the PKM when standing and crouching, leave the proning deviation at its current level. Give an extra accuracy bonus for the PKM when scoped, and at that point it is perfectly balanced.

The PKM would then be an excellent long ranged to medium range support weapon, but it would fall behind the other weapons when it comes to assaulting targets up close, since the accuracy would be crap when standing and crouching. Much like the current system they use in Day of Defeat, where the machine guns need to "set up" before they can lay the smack down.

And even though it wasn't demonstrated in the video, the PKM is just as good if not better in close quaters combat as it is at range, as it is almost as accurate when standing or crouching, and all while having that huge clip to outlast the enemy in a fire fight.

Awesome job. What's your next video going to be on? Claymores?

I sometimes feel like I'm stat padding with the PKM.

In my ongoing series of "What was DICE thinking?"

They weren't. :p The PKM is hilarious. Bet it gets nerfed to 3 times worse than it was before the patch in 1.21 and the circle of n00bs will pick it apart again.

Claymores sound like an awful boring topic for a video, as deserving as they are of a "What was DICE thinking video?". I'm probably going to revisit airplane combat again with some pure cannon combat to show that you do not infact need super missiles to shoot down aircraft, because as far as I can tell it's the biggest screwup in 1.2.

Re: Rooftop Camping PKM Style, now with video.

the biggest problem for me is the SOUND

pre-patch you could hear the bullets hitting around you and respond

now you just die silently

its retarded

Video was ok, i'm just surprised at the so called good players, didn't snipe you, after you shot me the first time, and i saw other guys dying i would have sniped you. I don't think fixing the rockets was the biggest screw up, they made it more realistic, you just have to adapt, and overcome.
