PKP over the M249? I'll have to give it a shot. I've been hearing accuracy issues though, and that's fucking huge when I can basically snipe with my M249.

First shot is accurate enough so short bursts will do the trick and you don't need to be as accurate when fewer shots kill people with it. Like I said though, everyone has their preference and that's the beauty of this game. It's not like you just keep unlocking guns and using the latest unlock only because they all have their pros and cons.
The PKP still sucks, even with that set-up. You're trading recoil for damage... and given that the PKP's only claim to fame for being "better than other LMGs" is it's damage, that's not a good trade off.
You do get a CoD-like feeling with it's non-recoil with that set-up, but the M249 non-modified>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>PKP modified (which you have to work for so still sucks) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> PKP un-modified.

I use it a lot. It's great, especially compared to the QQBQBQBQ whatever you unlocked in the assignment before it.
It's still very early in the morning. GAF server usually fills up at night
It's nearly identical to the M27, the only performance differences being that they switched vertical recoil and first shot recoil (and the M27 shoots further but who's shooting people at 975m with an M27; also the M27's rounds are faster - both minute differences)
Well, 64 players feel to cluttered for me even on B2K. I live like 30 secs on average if the opposite team doesn't suck. So I switched to server with friendly fire on, 52 players and no killcam. Much better. I might bump player count down to 48-46.
Looks like there will be a server update sometime tomorrow:

I wonder what the ninja change is for!

I have reserved myself to 32 player conquest normal/rush servers. 64 players is too much, removes a good cerebral portion of the game when you're constantly getting cheesed from every angle due to random gunfire and stray rockets.
Same here. Although I prefer conquest large with 32 players. Then you've got a bigger chance of getting the vehicle you want and the game feels less random since you get a better sense of where the enemy is. At least I feel this is true for the original maps.
Well Im pretty sure its the ability to seperate normal conquest and conquest assault

Played my first few games on B2K tonight. God, I miss some of those BF2 maps. I remember the fun I used to have on the one with the hotel in the centre: I used to drop loads of C4 on the roads approaching it from the rest of the map, hide in between the plant pots and just wait for people to drive by. Blow them up, mop up the survivors and then go fail at sniping from the roof of the hotel. Good fun.

This makes no sense
Yeah it does. Dice knew just as we now know, that B2K maps have that BF feel that only say two of the vanilla maps have. If these were released at launch, how many people do you think would be playing shit like Davmand peak or the other bottle neck maps?

Yeah, okay. Totally plausible theory there.

You're right that nobody would play the regular maps, Berry, but that's not the reason for the later launch. In any case, it does remind you how bad some of the BF3 maps are. Even the 'good' ones like Operation Firestorm are just huge open maps with a few, very flat and repetitive structures to fight over. Caspian Border is the only truly excellent map in the whole lot.
That said, I'm sure we'll all still be playing this game for years to come.
Wake Island would be my guess. That's where the dinosaurs are.

I don't know, just because a weapon is harder to unlock doesn't necessarily mean it's better. All the unlocks in this game are just for flavor as far as I'm concerned - and whatever feels good to you.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
It's on Wake at the B flag in Conquest where the aircraft spawn. It's in one of the buildings over there.
It's sad that the shelf life on the NeoGAF servers was only good for about a month. Every time I go to my favorites it's sitting there with 0/64

the EU server is as dead as a dead thing can get.

Damavand Peak is pretty cool for Rush, especially the basejumping part.
I think DICE understands what people want from maps, and they'll make more BF2-style DLC maps. I also don't think that the ratio quality to 'ok' maps is any worse than other multiplayer FPSes: 5 GREAT maps, with all the rest being good, with only a couple of stinkers (Tehran Highway, looking at you.) Even Canals is a pretty good map now that I've played it more, and I hated it at launch.

I never found that gun to be useless. If it got a buff than its even better for me.
Didn't get a buff, others just seem to be experiencing a placebo affect having unlocked it for both sides it seems. Still an awesome Assault/Support hybrid gun.
Oh well. I love that gun even without a buff.
Yeah, it's pretty awesome actually. I can't really remember why I didn't like it the first time around.
Going by how some of the new guns are bugged on these maps, it's plainly obvious that DICE barely tested the DLC.

If there wasn't the dynamic playercount I would think it would be more full. I mean how many people actually use quick match??
That's why I keep telling people to try it out. The QBB-95 is my other favorite for accuracy and low recoil. I just want my MG-36 already. Nothing can steer me from the L85 though...
I still need more people to play with so anyone looking to kick ass, add "demolitio".
Ha, I just tried it with the suppressor on. It literally only kicks like a foot from side to side and up and down at 50 meters. Crazy.

Awesome BF3 moment: I'm alone at A point on Wake Island when some asshat from the other team parachutes in out of nowhere, sprints to the freshly spawned tank, and starts driving off.Unfortunately for him, I'm about 10 feet from the tank. As he's just getting the tank warmed up and drives off, I attach 3 pieces of C4 to the tank. I believe at this point he had switched to 3rd person camera, because he desperately tried to swivel the turret around to get me.
Click.
Boom. Two kills + vehicle disable. Two, you say? Well, I guess one of his squad-mates spawned on him at a very unfortunate time.

PKP spanks so much in hardcore. Absolutely awesome.
i enjoy seeing the Pecheneg getting so much love as i'm a pretty big fan of it. it's a bit tough to wield at first but once you're able to manage that recoil, it's a beast. i love the hip-fire for it too. i've been giving some of the other LMGs a run through and honestly non of them are any slouches. Probably the only one I have the toughest time with is the M60.
also i never realized it before but somehow i managed to get all of the kits pretty much equalized:
:lol
