BF2S Forums Light Machine Guns and Engineer kits.

You can say "Fuck" here, don't worry.

Unfortunately I haven't unlocked them.  I didn't transfer over my BF2 account, so I started at recruit and have fully unlocked all Recon, and now Im working on aquiring the Baur, or left side of the Assault kit.  I pulled it off a dead PAC member I knifed and then there was a beacon and six literally dropped out of pods on me and I gunned all of them down with it.  Lots of power, quick reload time.  Its definately the G3 of 2142, and I loved the G3 in BF2.  Also, thanks for clarifying the part on the knife for me.

Enemy Patch Spotted, if Dice catches this post at least........

LMG are fine same goes for the rockets, vehicles have weak spots, use 'em

Hmm, kinda lame cause I get noobed all the time by the Bianchi.  That and I have noticed people start dropping supply crates, and just chucking demo packs and nades up corridors on the titans.  I think it takes a lot of skill to use a gun with low power like the recon Lambert.  Just my oppinion though.

You can fire the LMGs very accurate while standing - thats retarded!

It is really retarded.  Some guns I think that are good unlocks are the shotgun, the Flachette cannon for the assault kit, and the Baur HAR.  I already went full recon and now I wish I went full Assault.  Oh wells though, I love the flachette launcher and now I want teh shotty.

Engineer doesn't get a pistol and anti-vehicle is almost useless against infantry unless it's a direct hit, stop complaining.

The LMGs are better than ever. You can no longer pop off 2-3 uber accurate shots and kill the enemy before he even sees you. Now the guy down ur sights has a fighting chance because the first 2-3 shots may not hit him so he has time to take cover or hide aka be suppresed.

heelllo this is the fuuture, anybody up for lightsabers then if they complain about the guns?

I forgot, in the future up is down and right is left and all logic is thrown out the window (kinda like in Halo 2).

I don't care what year it is. If you shoot a support gun, you lose control of it the longer you fire. I don't know where they got this "if you hold down the trigger, you'll get more accurate" BS, but it's illogical and just plain stupid.

They've got that sentry gun they can use, a gun as powerful and unbalanced as the support guns just makes the kit almost godly.

I wonder what the most played kit is... hmm probably Support... I wonder why that is.

I can pwn a tank easy enough and APCs are little difficulty if your faster than the guy can turn his turret, however wtf do you do to take out a battlewalker?
nomatter where i shoot them they just don't take more than a 1/5th damage.

All the weapons in this game are all capable of killing, so dont go complaining that one weapon is over powered. This happened with BF2, everyone complains that the GL was too good, so EA/DICE messed about with it and then it was pretty crap after, people complained about the C4 throwing so then EA/DICE fucked about with this also and stopped you from blowing tanks up from behind a small fence/wall.

So dont go complaining about weapons being over powered. If someone is causing you damage with one weapon, then hide from them! do what ever you can so that you are not getting hit! or choose a different weapon and pwn their ass.


p.s. then engineers rockets are effective if you hit the vehicles in the correct place.I think with 2142 this is much more important than in BF2. in BF2 you could take out a tank with two rockets no matter where you hit the tank, but in 2142 you can actually see the damage the armour takes when you hit them in different places.

Why do people complain? Because there's a problem with it.

I'll complain about the support guns all I want because they ARE over powered and EA SHOULD nerf them.

You'd be agreeing with me if you ever actually shot a support gun. Come back to me when you've held and shot an M60 or other such gun. While your at  it let me see a video of you holding that gun's trigger down and not completely losing control of it and hitting a target  the size of a human 100-200m away with almost pin point accuracy. Then you can tell me the gun is fine. Until then I'll be complaining that the support kit should be nerfed.

The fact that they have machine guns with pin point accuracy is bad enough, but they've got that sentry gun that unbalances the kit to the extreme.

The GL in BF2 was nerfed because people complained it was too powerful. Combine with the fact that people abuse power, and you've got people running at you and shooting a grenade at your feet. They nerfed it to stop this from happening.

Same thing with C4 throwing. People abused it, other complained, so it was nerfed. It it hadn't been abuse, no one would complain, and there'd be no nerf.

Same thing with all the nerfs like bunny hopping and dolphin diving. If people didn't abuse them, they wouldn't have been a problem, and probably wouldn't have been fixed/nerfed.

The support kit is beginning to become a problem. You call for a medic and there's none to be found, you call for repairs and there's none to be found, but you call for ammo and you get 20 people throwing ammo boxes at you. Why? Because people have realized how much more powerful the support kit is with it's awesome gun and sentry canon that acts as a player's early warning system (when it starts shooting through a wall, you know someone's coming) and doubles as the players 3rd arm. Allowing him to do the work of TWO people.

When people start picking one kit predominately over the other kits, I say there's a balance issue there.

BTW the issue isn't whether or not the weapons are capable of killing. The issue is that one kit does it 100 times more "efficiently" with less effort than the other kits.
