Only for semi-automatic firing.

Outright falsities that have now ruined any credibility you might have had when talking about this games mechanics.

Then increase it's recoil or it's spread over range. Make powerful weapons challenging to use. It's an age old staple: average "items" (gun, cars, planes, etc.) are easy to use/handle and powerful ones are more difficult.
It's just that, if they DO nerf the SCAR, without adjusting it in some other way, it will be useless. Why use a med/high recoil weapon with 20 rounds that kills in 4 shots, when you can use a low recoil weapon with 30 rounds that kills in 4 shots (M4, A91, SG553, etc.)?

One of the loading screen messages says it decreases recoil due to the added weight. Too many advantages over the flash suppressor.

Useless, huh? Tell that to the dozens of kills I've gotten from launching a grenade towards enemies that I've scared into cover. Better yet, tell that to the dozens of alternate routes I've created that allow me to reach areas more quickly and more strategically. The GL has its place.FINALBOSS said:

Good lord... I really hate the aiming in this game. Every time I play a match I have to mess around with the sensitivity, where as in Battlefield 2 Bad Company I was fine with the original setting sigh...

I think both are great, it just depends on your playstyle. I still have my defib also.FINALBOSS said:

No, not at all the same. In terms of this game's damage modeling, 0.200 and .240 is a big difference. The ROF and Recoil is middle-of-class at best for the engineer weapons, so stop trying to argue that, as well.

I'll also take a flag in CQ then put three C4's on the ground and run back to a good spot, put my gun on a bipod then light up people coming in or if a tank rolls up just two button presses gives me a disabled/destroyed/double kill.
I don't know why they don't utilize the various ranges to balance the weapons. Damage is calculated every 5 metres, they could have different drop off ratios for every weapon to make them all unique and and evenly balanced. In BC2, some guns did constant damage without any drop off at range, for instance.
So much they could do yet seems that they've either not had time or been very lazy with it.

I'm not arguing that.
But if you want a low-recoil, 25-damage-per-bullet engineer gun, the M4 and A-91 beat the G36C hands down. Their higher ROF will beat the G36C up close and at ranges their bullets do more damage than the G36C.
The G36C is not even in the top three options for the engineer.

Not true at all. You prefer to save your teammates by healing them slowly with medpacks. I prefer to save them by killing the people shooting them. With a 54% hit rate and 104 kills I'm going to say that the m320 is a very effective killing machine.
Thing is, I can kill with m320 and if my buddies die I can still whip out the shock paddles. On top of that I can drop smoke on a chokepoint or an MCOM. On top of that it gives me a reliable tool for dealing with tanks and IFRs. On top of that it will kill the pilot of a helicopter if you hit the copter anywhere.
What does the medkit do? Slowly heals people, people who have health regen built-in already.
When it comes to overall utility, the choice is clear. You might want to rethink your "useless". Medpacks are for the lightweights who hide around the corner with the campers, m320 is for people who are on the front line, punching a hole.

Pretty much. PC Gamer gave it an 8/10, which I'd agree with. It absolutely has the potential to be amazing, 10/10 or whatever, but needs a little more work and more GREAT maps. It's a shame it couldn't have launched better.
And no doubt this is EA's cash cow and DICE is prepared to support it for some time...I just hope the "details" don't get lost during the process.
FINALBOSS said:
Right, In my opinion all they need to do is nerf the damage drop-off for engineer weapons, buff them for assault weapons and nerf the effect of rocket launchers vs infantry. While leaving everything else in tact.
Woo-Fu said:
The most effective use of the health kit is to heal yourself. It has saved my life countless times.
Interficium said:
I feel a little gimped if I take any other class besides engineering. The main issue is the complete inability of assault to put a dent in tanks. Of course, you can just avoid the tanks as much as possible, and I'm sure that's what people do, but to aggressively capture and defend flags, you need a way to handle vehicles.
Interficium said:
The M4A1 doesn't. The G36C takes one less bullet to kill at long range which just about makes all 3 balanced because the A-91 has slightly more recoil than either the M4A1/G36C from my experience.
The SG553 looks to be pretty pointless, though. Not that it matters since most folk probably even won't bother unlocking it.

Agreed 100%. Would be a better game.

Pretty much all the co-op weapons are ass, besides the EBR and the Raffica. The sig 553 is particularly egregious though, and using the G3 is like preparing yourself for the post-nerf SCAR.

I like this, also give the TTKs of the pistols to the PDWs and vice-versa.
Interficium said:
As an M4 fanatic, I do realize how awesome it is, but you are selling the G36C short. My kills per minute and accuracy are all higher with the G36C vs. the M4. I know that's meaningless in the grand scheme of things, but it's proven to be very effective for me.
commish said:
Know what you mean. I've got my first service star for the engineer and unlocked everything apart from the SiG. But I just can't bring myself to use anything other than that or occasionally Assault. I hate not having anything to deal with or repair vehicles.
I want to at least unlock the gadgets in the other classes (not too bothered about all the guns) so I've at least got them as go-to options at any point. But I tried Support earlier and just did terribly. Switched back to Engi and just felt so much more back at home again.
Doesn't help that I'm not keen on using LMG's, sniper rifles or shotguns either. I think that when PDW's get a much needed buff, I'll work my way through the other classes using those.

The guns aren't the problem for the engineer class, its all the rocket spam against infantry

Interficium said:
I read on the damage chart that G3A3 is significantly more powerful than the other assault weapons. And it's a co-op weapon...?
Rainy Dog said:
Yup, same experience for me. I moved over to Assault yesterday, and it's going pretty well, but I just miss my rockets. On some maps, I just switch back to engineering because I get tired of see choppers dominating the landscape. Support is going to be a bitch to level up.
Interficium said:
Really? Shame. At least they relegated the real ugly's to where most people won't even go looking for them anyway. I used the SiG as much as I could in the campaign and loved the meaty feel of it. Probably won't even bother grinding the unlock now I've seen the stats, though.
Is the G3 really that crap? Must have some wicked recoil/spread if it deals that much damage and still isn't worth using.

Not really, I own with support. I'm telling you... it's all about C4 and using them properly.

ROF/Recoil/Magazine size really screws it. Mostly the ROF. It just seems like it's chugging super-slowly when you use it, even compared to the SCAR which has a pretty low ROF itself.

Yes, engineer + support combo is match made in heaven.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
I really enjoy following my squad mates around the map dropping ammo, spotting people, and taking out people. I think this is a lost art as I rarely ever see anyone following me.
Perhaps the people I am following are annoyed by me doing that but, dealwithit.jpg. Since that is the way a Battlefield game should be played.
