Battlefield Bad Company 2 (56k) - (Weapon rebalance coming)

[QUOTE="Jbul"]Fine, tone down MCOMM and building structure damage, but hitting a tank with Mortar isn't easy to begin with. It requires the tank to stay still for a good 10 seconds in the first place, and this "rebalance" isn't doing the class any favors. Trust me, Recon advances slowest of all classes BY FAR already. I would know, it's my favorite.

As for the rifles themselves, I personally think the GOL is the best bolt action one and the SVU is the best semi-auto. If you use either of them with a 4X scope, you can still hang back and snipe, but you can also get in close, and you can definitely one shot kill dudes with the GOL at close to mid range. Anything from the ribcage or higher with that gun at mid range is a one hit kill when I use it with the 4X.

lol. I thought DICE with its vast multiplayer experience would be more smart about "rebalancing" stuff. I hate this new trend in games where devs keeping****ing with the game after release. That's what betas are for. if you didnt get something fixed or balanced even after a six omnth public beta then maybe it doesnt need fixing. ****ing stop listening to people on your boards (which btw represent only a small fraction of the total userbase) and stand behind your product. Nerfing weapons can have chain reactions that lead to even more imbalances. KZ2, Uncharted 2, MAG have all suffered from this, and they have effectively ended up broken.

****ing stand behind your product, DICE.

You were in the beta, right? Why didnt people complain about them back then?

The weapon unlocks were too slow in the beta, and all but nonexistent in the demo. I played that beta more than anyone I know, and I only managed to unlock all of the weapons for the Medic, and I got about 75% of the way with the Engineer. The other two cIasses lagged far behind for me. We didn't really get to check out every weapon, so balancing issues were hard to see at that point. There were a lot of things in the beta that were fixed. In the beta you could trigger C4 laid down in a previous life after respawning, which meant that it was a matter of just going in and laying C4 on an MCOM and triggering it until it blew up, regardless of whether you died setting it or not. It also only took six C4 bricks to blow an MCOM, so you could really abuse it.

dont really need the update. lol.

anyways, yea, the snipers should be more powerful. also, the M60 should be nerfed.

can you also give Engineers better guns? or at least more ammo? lol.

in the beta, you can also jump to the UAV and have someone fly it. lol.

also, you can stick C4's to the UAV and fly it to the MCOMs or to a tank and blow the whole thing up. pretty crazy.
