BF2S Forums why do people complain about accuracy?

The M-249 fires a 5.56mm NATO round... that's not enormous, an M16 fires the same caliber round.

I think people are just mad because the support weapons are realistic now, as in, extremely effective. A light machine gun typically isn't that accurate, but when you're spewing ~600 RPM downrange, being highly accurate doesn't matter, as you're very likely to hit them anyway.

the thing about real life accuracy is it depends on the person using the weapon.. the better people will be able to hit very accuratly and with a tight grouping and some just cant.. so like i said it varys. but they cant very well do it in a game.

i don't understand the beef about the PKM. ive been playing support for a while now and i always use the MG36 which is very effective for me. after the patch i hear about the "PKM sniper rifle" so i try it out and i don't see a diffrence, it's like the same gun. ill stick with the MG36.

When will people understand this is a damned GAME it is NOT REAL LIFE. A GAME is about BALANCE!! If some weapons are NOT balanced which could mean they are too strong or too weak compared to the other weapons people will complain. Look maybe you did not understand it yet so here s an example:
Let s say EA introduces a tactical nuke in the next patch. At the beginning of every round everyone would run to get to the nuke first. The first one to get control over the nuke would fire it at the other team. Everything would explode and the round would end withing 10 seconds. Of course people would start to complain. Would you then still say:"OMG a nuke is a fuckin big rocket u know and in real life it just blows everything up so its really good the way it is."

@Cbass you CAN NOT deny that the support guns are 10000% better with the new patch. Everyone can see that. I would even say it is a LOT too good now since I usually end up with 40kills/10deaths when I use it.

No? I was playing ghost map, decide to get myself a PKM.

See just How accurate it is...

First enemy I see is a sniper staring at me.

"Oh shit.."

Well, I run prone, and shoot maybe 5-10 bullets at the guy. First few bullets connect and I get a headshot. This should NOT happen. I bet the sniper was pissed as hell, I know I would be. Getting headshotted by a PKM as a sniper is BS.

Sometimes that happens, sometimes it doesn't. There are times i go prone with the PKM and fire a single round at a prone enemy looking at me and he's dead on the spot. Other times I fire like 5 single shots but don't hit **** in the same situation. So there are times I get hits at insane distances but other times my rounds keep ending up all over the place except where they need to be.

As stated by other people, it is not the accuracy that is the issue. Its the fact that it has the killer headshot, that combined with a single shot accuracy as good as the AK's or better is the issue... The bloody thing seems to kill me before I can get a shot off....

And for mid distance combat it beats my G3 on single shot every time... which shouldn't happen...

Well, if you ever manage to get to close range, draw your knife and stab away at that sucker. Believe me, those PKM boys don't like being knifed when they see u comin.

all guns are close to perfectly accurate (except like ancient ones like musket and single shot pistols)
its just the breathing that flaws ur aiming and the recoil that flaws ur aiming
