Have you tried the PKM standing up? It's useless in melee range.Rellim83 wrote:
What blows is that they made all hte LMG's incredibly good, but nerfed every other kit. Cant throw c4, noob toob is buggy, other guns do less damage.....but the LMGs........uber good. Why would anybody want to be a different kit when they can have a gun that is more accurate then a sniper rifle, caries unlimited ammo, and kills 2 shots garenteed (pkm). Assault and special forces kits are pointless now. Sniper kit is basically obsolite considering LMG's are more accurate.
Assault G3 and the Spec Ops ubar rifle... pointless?
Come around a corner and see a guy hit prone.. he gets a delay after going prone... how many licks does it take to get to the center of a big friggin target with an X on him?
As a sniper I have seen a PKM hit me from a distance.. he didnt insta-kill me.. did about 6 bars before I could dodge/evade. I pulled onto the angled wood in the Tv station looked at the possible sites for enemies.. saw the PKm and fired my precious weapon only to see him die on impact....
PKM isnt as ubar as people are complaining. Twitch reactions can save your life from any weapon. Whether its a sniper, a PKM or a medic sniping with his new Scar-L! Man all the upgrades have their pluses. The new weapon (P90) for the Anti-tank friggin rocks. But I still love my DAO-12 in close quarters.
Besides.. the other changes for sniper far outway the issue some believe exists.
I have expert explosives and only about 5 kills were from tossing a c4 up over the wall at the hotel in Karkand only to CP-Defend against intruders. The rest were well placed on walls , poles, in bushes where tanks treaded next to and BOOM. c4 is about special forces.. stealth and using terrain and special movements to guide your vicious attaches against the enemy scum. Not go melee with c4 tossing it to a person 10 feet away and surviving. Ever watch Tv and see a C4 pack kill and injure X amount of people as a terrorist exploded his pack? the whole friggin area would have been toast. those c4 tosses while bunny hopping werent anywhere close to fair against enemies. C4 combat hasnt changed for me in 1 bit. I still maintain an increase in explosives due to well placed defending and counter armor locations. the people who complain that C4 doesnt work are mad because they cant toss it from a roof across a street to kill people or vehicles or cant get a tank on the other side of the wall. Prethought and placement are better for these engagements. I got 6 kills from well placed C4 along a road. People running, a car, APc and a Tank... that was sweet timing and so much more fulfilling than C4 melee combat.
