I think the weapons are fine.  After all its a game.  In real life any kind of gunfire and I am going the other way, here i'll ran at you with a knife regards of whats in your hand.

on a side note, I would like to see my guns more powerful and everyone else can have bent barrels LOL

I think the game is fairly fun as it is now, but I would still like to see the weapons have more powerf. Personally, I think the accuracy for MOST (not all) weapons is fine. However, it would be more interesting IMHO if the weapons inflicted more damage. My best advantage in battle is my ability to out wit and sneak up on other players. I almost always get the first shot off. However, I don't have the fastest connection, so if my weapon isn't powerful enough to kill them in the first couple shots then they have the advantage of a faster reaction time due to my lag. I would probably double my KD ratio if the weapons were more powerful.

I agree. Mostly, I think the weapons like the L85 should be more accurate/stable and more powerful. But, You guys have all brought up good points.

No. It would totally throw off gameplay. The reason I say this, is the fact that taking two hits to kill someone would make it really easy to die from random spray. Thats not cool at all. The fact is, if the weapons did more damage, you would die that much more. Everyone would. With the long spawn times that are in BF2, it just wouldnt be fun to sit there as long dead as alive. Not to mention, it would really take the advantage away from players who are truely exemplary marksmen, and not random noobs. You are advocating turning BF2 into a spraying noob-fest.

For calling realism, its pretty close already, at least as reasonable as programming will allow. People seem to think in terms of movies, and the fact of the matter is, against personnel, guns are not as effective as most think. It really does take several rounds to kill a person on the spot. I've seen law enforcement videos where a guy has taken 12 to the chest, and still managed to wrestle a cops gun away from him and kill the cop, then lay down and die himself.

I cant help but notice your accuracy numbers either. The guns are plenty accurate, its a matter of learning to shoot them. The weapons balance is great in this game.. the unlocks are fine. They are different but equally as effective, and in the hands of some are better. It would be rather lame if someone whos got all of the unlocks is just at a huge advantage over a noob.

Couple of things to say

1. PEOPLE HAVE ARMOR so the guns dont seam real cause its hitting the armor.
2. Think what would happen if they did make the guns stronge. THE GAME WOULD BE GAY.
3. The L8 is better than the nonunlock u just have to learn to use it.
4. The G3, PKM, Gwhatever, Assult, Sniper, And tanks are already to good. Add more damage to that. and u know what would happen u would be complaining about some noob that killed u with a PKM and they should take it out cause its too strong.


Only problem with me is the M5 i think is to weak. They changed it from doing 190 damage to now only 90 thats the only problem. I think the M5 should do 105 damage. If u make any one weapon any stronger it would unbalance the game. Do u know why they make the medic guns not as good. Cause think how many fricken points they would be getting every round. THere not ment to kill tons of people with them. There used to heal and revive people. Thats why the G3 is strong cause killing is the only way to get points with it. The medic there is three ways to get points. Guys u gata think about what the intentions of each pack is.

I agree with point one and two for the most part.  The M16 and variants are not known for being world class weapons, they are just really cheap to make (if it's mattel it's swell!)  And all the sniper rifles are crap, especially the M95.  All the grenade weapons should do more damage.  But I have to disagree with you on the AK's.  The AK platform has never been accurate at all, ever.  You can't expect stamped steel parts that are ment to be able to be thrown into mud and pissed clean, ready to fire afterwards to be anything but spray and pray.  But heaven help you if one of those huge ass slugs hits, because you are done. The shotguns should do more damage, also.
Every one tell everyday that AK based weapons aren't accurate where does everyone get this information. True that when you use AK weapons on full auto the rifle get out of control and is hard to use due the hard recoil. But when used one single shot and with normal (I mean good manufactured ammo not cheap home made something bullets) ammo the rifles are more accurate than M-series. I could tell you much much more of the benefits of this rifles but it also hase some disadvantages.
I get my info from actually firing a Russian AK.  The AK47 especially, is a rattle trap.  Sloppy as hell and all the tolerances of a hammer.  The remanufactured ones that most people have gotten and fired are tighter built and better barrels, and thus are more accurate.

And for the record the AK was not designed to be fired single shot.  Look at the way the safety works.  First click is full auto, second is single shot.  It's a machine gun with single shot added on.  The M16 is the other way.  A single shot rifle with full auto(or 3 rnd burst) added on.

um... back to original question...

I don't think you need more powerful weapons as such... I think the game is pretty balanced as it is... except Underslung nades.  They're just f***ing annoying cos it requires not skill to use...

and that is exactly why I don't think we need 'more powerful' weapons for pretty much no justified reason... except that you are too incompetent to use the standard weapons. But just my opinion...

cheers
