Mtv.com posted up some stats on multiplayer weapons. Since this "could" be considered a spoiler for some, I used the spoiler tags.

"Battlefield: Bad Company 2" is upon us, and the multiplayer portion of the game is surprisingly robust, especially when it comes to implements of death that you're allowed to wield. Don't worry, I've got ya covered. Here's a rundown of all of the primary, class-specific weapons that'll be available at launch, including what you'll need to do to unlock them.

This list doesn't include the wide variety of weapons that you can unlock for use with any class. Those unlocks (which include shotguns, pistols and specialty rifles) are tied to your overall rank.

With that out of the way, let's get to the goods.

The list doesn't have everything nor does it mention distance variations, but some things need to be figured out for ourselves. Its a pretty good start.

Re: Bad Company 2 Multiplayer Weapons Guide

wow look at the numbers for the LMG's. Why would I be any other class? :p

[Dangerdog]

Re: Bad Company 2 Multiplayer Weapons Guide

The LMG's needed the 25% buff, not the other weapons.

We'll see how it plays out though.

Re: Bad Company 2 Multiplayer Weapons Guide

i need the numbers for the M1 M14 and G3

[Chaoszx]

Re: Bad Company 2 Multiplayer Weapons Guide

I want that M416. Numbers look like sex. M16 A2 looks nice too.

Snipers are going to drool over that M95.

[Dangerdog]

Re: Bad Company 2 Multiplayer Weapons Guide

G3 isn't listed, that's the weapon I want.

I think those numbers are fake.

Re: Bad Company 2 Multiplayer Weapons Guide

I agree, always been my favourite gun, deadly accurate with heaps of power behind it

Its a bit odd how everything is measured as n/22.
It makes you suspect that they have just been looking at the graphics in the menus and counting fields, e.g. 5 out of 22. I am not sure how reliable that is.

In the old BF engines it was possible to extract the real numbers, but I don't know if you can do that in Frostbite?

Re: Bad Company 2 Multiplayer Weapons Guide

Type 88 Sniper (2,200 Recon)
Semi-automatic rifle, good for mid-range targets, especially when equipped with a red dot sight.
Damage - 14/22
Accuracy - 17/22
Rate of Fire - 6/22

SV98 Snaiperskaya (6,000 Recon)
Bolt-action rifle with 10 round clip, good for long range targets.
Damage - 13/22
Accuracy - 18/22
Rate of Fire - 6/22

How do these guns have the same rate of fire? I'm pretty sure it took longer to get shots away with the BOLT ACTION SV98 then with the SEMI-AUTOMATIC type 88.

also, is the M95 really 1 hit kill? sounds pretty imbalanced if so. maybe the damage is random and you can only get 1 hit body kill sporadically.

Not a one hit kill at range (except for hs), but in close quarters it can be if it hits in the chest I believe.

I don't think it's gonna be that accurate, because it'll basically have the same stats as semi-auto sniper rifles which means a lot of deviation per shot.
M60 will have do the same damage and will have 1/3 of its deviation. That's more like it. Gonna be a noob weapon, I'm sure of it.

Re: Bad Company 2 Multiplayer Weapons Guide

tbh if you got shot my a M95 in real life people would have a hard time trying to find all the pieces to put humpty dumpty back together again.

[MrChris_CJ]

Re: Bad Company 2 Multiplayer Weapons Guide

the M95 should take health off the guy firing it (if he fires it when he isnt stationary)

can't see one hit kill snipers working tbh, I'll whack on that x4 scope and go AWP like I did in CSS

I want the Aug and then the HK416
