pkm way too strong

[phen0m]

Re: pkm way to stromg

I'm sure there have been tons of threads about this but here's another. The pkm weopon is way to powerful/accurate over long distances.

I am annoyed that as a sniper, support sometimes see you first and kill you from miles away. I find it very frustrating. It is unfair.

All ea need to do is change the pkm's accuracy to that of the mg36. That would make it fair.

No need to cry like a little girl, change your tactics and get better. You obviously arent a very good sniper.

Re: pkm way to stromg

If you think the PKM is too accurate, you should have seen when the MG36 first came out, that thing was like a fully automatic sniper rifle as it shot in a straight line!

Re: pkm way to stromg

I love when snipers complain.

Wanna take out those pesky PKM guys? Stop playing sniper and get down in the battle.

Re: pkm way to stromg

The PKM is very powerfull, but actualy it's balanced.

PKM isn't unfair...its damage is still the same, its just more accurate when shooting one or two shots....try shooting it completely full-auto, it still sucks.

One more PKm post and the next person should be banned. PKM is fine, deal with it and run around it, find ways to kill him before they kill you.

I find the arguments to these posts absolutely ridiculous. The PKM Support Class Weapon IS OVER POWERED, OVERLY ACURATE, UNFAIR, UNREALISTIC, AWFULLY OVERUSED ADDITION TO BF2 WEAPONS. PERIOD. The ONLY people who stand by and argue that its fine and others just need to adjust are those people who lack so much skill that this is exactly the type of weapon they needed to raise their global score above 200 ... Anyone who says this weapon is completely fair has no sense of reality and rapes the benefits of this gun to its very limit. If you cannot aim a 203, or are too inaccurate to be a sniper, or have to little skill to play spec ops, then this weapon is your only way out ... and my friend, you ARE pathetic.
How this gun has survied so long, I will never know, but when I play Karkand, and I see 12 support's pinning off their 4 grenades then resupplying themselves ... I can only shake my head ... I btw am a sniper and for any of you who think thats why Im complaining, I will say this. Not one PKM-rapin N4p has EVER killed me while I was sniping, though becuz of its "amazing" accuracy, some have come close.

My global is well over 200, and was long before the PKM became revamped, and no, it's not, like I said, the other guns in the game are UNDER powered. People are whining now because it actually hits what you're aiming at, whaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Re: pkm way to stromg

Everybody go watch the PKM sniping video on Putfile.com, and THEN try and justify your arguments about it being a fair weapon.

btw, it wasn't horrible before the patch, you just didn't have the ability to waste someone from 400 metres

In the "PKM sniper video" he is hardly shooting anybody from 400 meters, the top of the hotel to the ground at a bunch of guys that didn't have the brains to figure out where he was, it's not like he's hitting people at the North Gas Station from the South Gas Station. I've taken out snipers at my max draw distance with a pistol, I guess that's a way over powered kill em all monster too.

Re: pkm way to stromg

lol ZOMG! Nerf teh pistolez! I love using the PKM and yeah...its a little too accurate at times. But its not as bad as these guys are making it sound. Its not the be all end all gun. If you are losing a long distance fight to a PKM while you have a sniper rifle, you shouldnt be using a sniper rifle. No offense but thats how it is. Yeah I guess thats all I have to say.

Re: pkm way to stromg

pkm is over-accurate at range. i'm sorry hypnosis but it is.

dont be sorry. your opinion is valid.

Re: pkm way to stromg

I'm not whinning about it, and I have adapted my strategy to deal with the PKM. I hardly ever play spec ops anymore. I tend to either play sniper/medic or assault. I love owning the pkm players with my ak 101 on karkand.

Everyone knows it is unfair for a support weopon to be so accurate, but that is how it is till EA decide to change it.

Re: pkm way too strong

I personally think the PKM could use just a little nerfage.
Up it's min dev and recoil little (not much tho) for prone and more for crouching and standing.

More importantly, buff the assualt class! The GLs need a better blast radius. Maybe, just maybe, the assualt should be the exception to the armour/sprint rule and be able to do longer sprints while retaining their armour. Compaired to support (packing a big gun and tons of ammo) and AT (those AT missiles ain't light!), the assualt class carries the lightest load of all the armoured classes. Makes sence that they should be able to run further to reflect that.

I'm not a fan of nerfs... gimmie buffs! Ramp it all up 'n make me !

Re: pkm way too strong

L85 owns PKMers.

Actually when EA released the 1.2 patch my support k/d ratio went DOWN from ~1 to ~.78... but now its back up to 1.58

the key is DO NOT walk straight at him, he will tear you apart. You have to move around and jump. Since he is most likely zoomed in, he will have a harder time aiming at you. If you're at close range and he prones, then just run around in a circle and shoot him since he can't turn that fast proning. DO NOT stand still or walk towards him, strafe sideways.

And don't prone when they zoom in. It's useless.



Learn to live with the PKM until EA releases 1.22.
Just get your expert support combat until the new patch comes.

Re: pkm way to stromg

IRL a belt fed 7.62 machine gun would do a lot more damage than it does in this game, as a matter of fact what you SHOULD be bitching about, is the fact that the other guns in the game are UNDERpowered.

Do we want this game to turn into CS? NO! I dont want it to be like you see someone fire twice and he is dead. That would be stupid. It would be a noob game and it would turn into who can aim at the head the quickest and prone would be abolished. I know i sure as hell wouldnt waste my time pressing z when I could be pressing the mouse twice and getting 2 points to my score.

Hehe, 'bout time someone noticed! :p
It was a kinda fun graphics hack doing that up. I use the same image as wall paper for my cell phone.
