Bad Company 2 weapons

Is it just me or do the weapons seem off? As in handling and accuracy. I'm not sure what it is... floaty... weapon bob... but something about aiming doesn't feel as tight as it does in other FPS games.

What do you guys think? The game is still great fun, but it just feels a bit off.

Use ironsights and short burst with the assauld rifles and the accuracy will be fine. Use full auto while moving and even at short range you will miss more bullets than hit. I did snipe Recons with AR. Shotguns are very destructive at short range, either 1 point blank shot or 2-3 at few meters. Some people uses the 1911 pistol at mid range since does a lot of damage per hit with good accuray, but my fav is the Glock 17 because the size of the magazine.

I think that most of weapons in BF 2 were more lethal, because aside from pistols and submachineguns ANY other weapon in the game kill in a single headshot, while in BC 2 you usually need 2 with most of AR. But some other weapons as GL are more efficient and consistent. Overall I like more the new gunplay.

I got that feeling too with the PC version. I know for a fact that there is a problem with the hit detection at close range.

I always find the accuracy of weapons in BF2 to be absolute crap. BF BC2 on the PC however seems to suffer from some major accuracy issues as well...

Yeah, this is what usually has me gnashing my teeth. Three shot-gun blasts loosing out to a knife is pretty annoying - I took that shotty for a reason.

Anyhow, I suspect that it is all about he-said/she-said locations - or lag in other words. This always seems to favor the party that is moving.

That starting AK that the assault class gets is awful. I agree with you. However, play some more and your 3rd unlock in the Assault class is the Xm8 rifle, which is miles better and makes a ton of difference.

FYI, yaw and pitch options are usually used in games for flying planes and stuff, dont know what it is doing for bc2Dr_Brocoli

Now iam not really a skilled player in any regard but i can quite easily kill people half way across the map. I just use ironsight and shoot in short bursts.

Stop firing full auto. You guys need to count in the fact that the weapons become very inaccurate after the 5th shot. I have no troble with firing in short bursts and hitting enemys from across the map. Also remember that their is bullet drop, so it will take about half a secound for the bullet to reach its target from a longdistance.

Yeah the PC version has atrocious hit detection, but you really need to burst fire on top of that.

Well I do burst fire. I don't sit there spraying ammo like Rambo. But even still, the weapons need work. I have also noticed problems at close range. I've sat there and shot at someone at close range, didn't really do anything, only to have them knife me or kill me in one or two shots with a pistol. Really annoying.

I can understand accuracy decreasing while just firing in full auto, but come on... at point blank range that's ridiculous. Even a kid could kill someone at point blank range with an assault rifle.

For those that don't seem to mind.. you'd have to play the 360 version to notice the difference. It almost makes the 360 version seem closer to hardcore mode.. people die a LOT easier.

The AEK-971 is a great weapon, what the hell are you talking about? The hit detection right now is just terrible, making most weapons really bad. The XM8 is a good gun though, and I really don't like the F2000 at all :/

F2000 is easily my favourite, lol.. it'll be killer once they fix the hit detection.

It took a bit to get used to, but now that i'm used to it i like it. Discouredges running and gunning, makes things more tactical (you cant sprint around the map blasting people in the face like you can in COD games).

I wish it took less bullets to drop someone though, it feels like you can shoot at someone for ages and still not kill them, although again this discouradges running and gunning, which i love (especially since my twitch skills are very weak).
