I would since 1 mortar almost instantly take out a tank. There is tons of times that a single mortar shell kills me. I wouldn't mind a nerf, hell I want a mortar nerf.

I like how in the first game everyone complained that the weapons weren't powerful enough (except for the shotty and the recon pistol), so dice beefed up everything for part 2 and since launch its seems like we've gone through cycles where every week or so a different weapon is declared overpowered and cheap (M60 / M16 / 40mm Grenade / Gustav / AN94 / MG3 / Mortar / C4 / etc etc etc).
The weapons are fine, just like the first game.

"GEE THANKS GUYS" I yelled at my screen when you guys didn't FUCKING SPAWN AFTER MY FUCKING BOUND ANTICS. ADKSJFLSDJKFLSADKJFLKDSA*bangs head into keyboard* What good is a stealth insertion if you guys don't spawn as soon as the "YOU'RE OUT OF BOUNDS" leaves? ARGH.
Sometimes I wish you guys had Faceless' intuition when it comes to me.
"I'm the last one alive? *sits or tries to move into base and get you guys to spawn*"
"Please guys, spawn o--"
(Spawn on someone else or I get caught and MA fucked to death.)
Speaking of which: This is your daily SMH for Magnum Ammo. SMH. SMH. SMH. post. Hate that perk.

Had a really frustrating evening, we came up against a team who didn't once try and arm a crate, instead choosing to hang back and ping it with Tanks and Gustavs. Me and my friend tried repelling them with our Engineer skills but they had too much infantry protecting the tanks as they continued their bombardement. Not to mention the Scouts dropping mortars on the crates too, we were helpless. Ended up winning Arica because they couldn't get enough fire on the last set of crates, there's no way they'd have actually got in and armed the sucker, we were a tight unit.
Does anybody know when the patch is out for 360, I'm pining for some G3 goodness with an acog, I tried it out on my brothers PS3 version and it was as good as I'd hoped.
Oh and I hope MP7 is out next week. Assuming Vietnam is 21st, that would give us a good 3 weeks exhaustive play with these 4 maps before hopping into the expansion.
Oh and a potential BF3 reveal at the VGA's, damn it's a good month to be a Battlefield nut.

Let's have a round of applause for... me! I stopped their sneaky bastard from blowing B and resetting the tickets when we were 19 or so left, then Dream took out the dude that took out me (THANKS!) and revived me (DOUBLE THANKS!) and I put a tank in the middle of the base to make sure they didn't pull that shit off again because I was like "NO, FUCK YOU!" :lol
That's the round after nearly everyone on GAF joined and we won (and annoyed the hell out of me) they all bailed and Abu bailed when the team wouldn't start to attack so Crack and everyone else was tank shelling the base.

AT4 says "sup" and "LOL NO" along with the RPG-7. I haven't used the Gustav in over nine-months since I platinumed it. No need to. The other two will clear buildings out just as well, and I can hit the tanks just as hard as the Gustav.
Abu said:
Yeah, that round after you guys joined I saw the level 50's and there was only two on our said (both GAF) and I was like "Oh, boy... Where is Faceless for this!? D:"
Then a whole bunch of GAF joined up and we nearly died but pushed the game forward. That was intense but annoying, because again: I did out-of-bound stealth approaches only to be ate by a Magnum Ammo user while I was set to try to blow the hell out of A and/or B with the G3 non-MA + 6C4 and Explosive Ups. (Which I guess is stupid now but hey, if I could do it silently and not moving too much...)

know what baffles me?
teams that when they're on defense, they're all up in your bases, shooting you in the back, trying to steal your vehicles, and then you stroll into their base, plant, wait, wait, nobody comes, you take both crates and start to move on to the next base and ... there they are, shooting you in the back again... and then WHEN IT'S TIME TO ATTACK, THEY DO NOTHING. what's up with that?
know what upset me earlier today?
WHITE PASS.
ok, 1 crate is in a collapsible building... the other isn't... why are like 7 people guarding the crate they basically can't stop from being destroyed?

the M60 really was too powerful originally, the first nerf was fine. the problem with the AN-94 is it's so accurate that even though it's power was in line with other assault rifles, that 2 shot burst was dominating. they really should have done something about the kick instead of the damage. Gustav, i was fine with it. 40MM GL too. i didn't think the MG3 was particularly dominant. Mortar was fine in the final game, the beta mortar on the other hand... i believe i first said it in the beta thread "assault shouldn't have C4, they have the ammo pack" i mean, imagine if only Recon had C4... just think about how different the entire game would be.SA-X said:
oh man i hate when i'm chilling in the enemy base or at/near a flag waiting on randoms to spawn on me and they spawn at the base. if i had a penny for every time that happened, i could buy a few mcrib extra value meals.TheSeks said:

After you guys left the team went braindead. Disarming while standing still, hardly any disarmers, couldn't even prevent a disarmer several times in a row, letting the enemy disarm behind their backs, and not watching an armed m-com.
I got pretty annoyed and went back to GT5.

M14 ACOG is, as expected, really bad ass. But not op at all.
Glad to see stacked teams are still present. Nothing beats playing Valparaiso defense for 5 minutes whilst being spawn killed the whole time. Yeah switch to the better team douche bag, that will solve the problem.

I haven't see anything but M60/G3/M14/N2000 the past couple days since the ps3 patch been out.
Oh and I'll be surprised if I ever see a Thompson used again.

Nice surprise to wake up and turn on Steam to see an update for BC2.
My BFBC2 moment yesterday was when defending with Fersis and Seks on Isla Inocentes. At last base they kindly dropped me with the chopper behind enemy lines. I did the C4 treatment to the Bradley and then proceeded to run back home showing the pointy end of my knife to those gentlemen attacking our base. I got my second knife pin!.
Yeah, the attacking Arica Harbour game was intense. Those level 50´s fought tooth and nail every Mcom and the last one was very close. By the way, did anybody get graphical glitches at last base?, I lost sound midgame and the buildings lacked textures. Even the building with the Mcoms didn´t have stairs!!. I couldn´t reach B unless I spawned on the squad. By the winning screen my PS3 froze and I left as it was very late already. I honestly think that very few teams can confront two/three squads of GAF players.

Is the patch out on 360 yet??
Eternal Sleeper said:
PS3 got a subpar CoD. Most of them came back. 360 got CoD and a flavor of the month shooter along with other things.
That said, I'm surprised at how close all the playerbases in total players nearly are. Just says no matter the difference, console and PC players want to play a good game.
Oh, you spawned on us? I was like "oh god, oh god, I'm so horrible with flying the attack choppers. They aren't like the blackhawk. Oh god, oh god, I can't get Fersis any kills."
I was flying REALLLLLLLLLLLY LOW over their base and toward the end they took the tank and started to ping me to where I landed at their start base and our base and repaired only to figure 8 and fly around. I don't think it was effective because I'm pretty bad at flying the attack choppers (I can't wrap my mind around the two sticks for pitch/yaw) but it seemed to annoy them and the defending team we were on started to push out and hold the hill.
Sitting there for a minute with both of you dead while I'm like "please, spawn so I have a gunner. I don't have a gun. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE..." was annoying, meanwhile.
Also I did that VERY SAME THING. They took out the Hin-D I was piloting with a rocket and tracer (IIRC), taking me and the public person gunning out as we bailed from the chopper. Landed on the left side of their base. Fired my non-MA'ed XM8 Compact and hoofed it back to the hill not dying until I took a recon out near the sand-bag "base" on the hill only for (I think) you to revive me and I went back to the base as the Hin-D spawned. So awesome.
Fersis said:
What's hilarious to me is that they pushed the Bradley DOWN the base and onto the docks. I was like "WTF, guys?" I'm not sure what they were trying to do there (hit us? Fire the main cannon toward the hill?) but it didn't seem too effective.
And yeah, I was trying to circle strafe, but I was more worried about hitting the mountain/WHOO-BOOM-SUICIDE than that, so I stopped that and did wide turning circles like I do on the blackhawk. Not effective, but it keeps the bird up.
Fersis said:
Love doing that in the matches I played. I just know it has to be either be confusing or frustrating the other side to see a tank get hit several times and still not blow up. I think I followed behind a tank an entire match just constantly repairing it. :lol
I played a lot of Rush yesterday though. I was playing just Conquest before and while bored of it I figured let me try the other modes before leaving the game alone. A LOT more fun and interesting then Conquest. Whether you are attacking or defending it's more a satisfying then simply capturing points over and over again.

I think the weapons are all really well balanced, I do get a little annoyed at magnum ammo but once I unlock it myself I can't really complain, level 15 for it, right?SA-X said:
I prefer games like this where you die in 3-4 shots instead of games where you die in 12-16, halo is an acception since the gameplay in halo for me is great, but when it comes to these war like shooters I prefer stronger weapons over weak ones.
Oh last night before the game randomly kicked me from a match and said I was offline, I had a beautiful vehicle kill with the spy heli, someone was shooting at it while I was using it so I dived down full speed and noticed someone running out in the open, I flew into him at max speed lol I bet he got a shock :lol
This was funny:
-Nelson Bay Second MCOMs set
TheSeks gets sniped in a building
I revive him...
he gets sniped again
I revive him ...
he walks around and then goes to the same place... sniped
I revive him
he walks around and then goes to the same place... sniped
I revive him
He throws a grenade at me. :lol

Long time
player....first time poster. I had the PS3 version since launch but never played it much because I neglect my PS3 like a red headed step child. Traded it in for the 360 version a week or so ago and have already logged more hours in it than the PS3 version. I just can't wrap my mind around using a DS3 for FPSs....that and I have a really shitty BT headset.
In any event, I hopped last night late (1am est) and kept getting in the same damn game of rush with only one other dude. That sucked. So yea....add me if you ever need support. (I can't shoot for shit so I have to do other things to earn my points).

I went to the in-game store and there is a 1.62 gb update, I need to read back a page or two if you guys already knew that
*edit* this is on the 360, might vary elsewhere.

I was being sniped. I knew where the bastard was, but couldn't get a flipping spot marker on him (SMH at spotting limit) and throwing the turret that way wasn't working. I was trying to get the team to go over there. So annoying.
