Battlefield Bad Company 2

I can't wait for the patch on PS3. So sick of the M60...

[sruon]

What's wrong with M60? I find Gustav and GL incredibly more broken/boring.

I think its more the M60's range. Its a fully automatic sniper rifle pretty much. I could tell you all kinds of kick ass stories with me and my best friend Carl Gustav though. Shits awesome on maps like White Pass Conquest to root out some fag ass squads camping houses.

While getting all my weapon bronze stars last night, I went 58-22 on the new conquest map (The one in the desert settings, from the rush map with all the tanks, forgot the name.) Was 4 on 8, so we lost naturally. It was to a point where I was just yelling barbarian style into the map as I mowed people down. T'was fun.

Yea, this. It has a ridiculously high damage rating for its accuracy and range. In Squad rush, the best teams hands down are ones with at least 2 medics, so its just a M60 fap fest.

But man, if you want broken, the semiauto and auto shotguns with 12gauge are the best sniping tools in the game. Shotgun shells don't suffer from gravity drop. Mag ammo makes it a 2-3 shot kill (although I think this was patched).

lol

[Devolver]

FUCKING WOW. Doing this tonight holy fucking shit. I wonder if you need 2 engi's setting mines, or if 3 (from 1 guy) will do. I would probably poop all over myself if I ever seen someone doing this in a game.

[Ivaden]

That guy has quite a few videos of fun BC2 shit like that, definitely worth a watch. Makes me wish I had more than one friend who played BC2 lol. His MW2 videos are hilarious too, nothing but sarcasm and satire (I think it's satire? lol).

[Dylon]

devolver im on ps3 and that shit looks awesome for any map lol, i really wana try it. PSN in sig

[Celeras]

End is hilarious. Fking hate recons.

[Dylon]

^ ive done that to the enemy snipers with C4 if i know where they keep going and i love it

According to the blog, this will be coming May 11th to PS3 (WOOT) and Xbox360, and will include all of the changes found in the PC patch released 3 weeks ago, and detailed somewhere in this forum.

Something you didn't highlight that might be very interesting is helicopter pilot countermeasures. Another good one is points added after death, which has always been annoying.

This is in the blog post as well. This is the more RECENT changes to weapons, on top of the ones already listed. From what I understand, this is after testing the weapon changes from 3 weeks ago on PC, and then applying criticism.

Slightly increased the damage of the UZI at long range.
The AKs74u now has more felt recoil when aiming.
The G3, VSS, and all SemiAutomatic rifles now settle slightly faster between shots when aiming.
The PKM, Type 88LMG, G3, An94, and 40mm shotgun have returned to their former glory.
Increased the damage of the MG3 to bring it in line with the rest of the LMGs.
Fixed a bug where the Saiga12 with slugs would do too much damage at long range.
Fixed a bug where the SVU would do too little damage at long range.
Fixed a bug where M95 rounds would not kill armored targets with headshots.

[Celeras]

40mm nerf/AN94 buff being reverted is good news. Both were overdone.

[Tekoa]

Anyone play Recon often? I just unlocked the M95 and was wondering if the damage is worth the trade off of accuracy that I get with the GOL?

[Insanecyclone]

Why the hate for recons?

If I'm not mistaken, all the accuracy does is effect the dropoff of the bullet over range. So I guess it depends on how well you compensate for that

After all, I might be wrong about the accuracy thing, but that was always my understanding.

[kuronosan]

Why the hate for recons?

Because most people who play the class suck and just hang back calling mortar strikes without contributing anything to the team.

I really hate those types of snipers.

When I snipe in a game I try to move around and conceal my spot(if possible) so a person can't see me. I did that a lot in BF2 and shot people up at random places when I was cleared for a shot.


The bombartment video pretty much are the snipers I HATE.

[Devolver]

The Short style sniper rifles are fucking Pro-Tier. That's all I use when the situation calls for a recon. Enough power to drop someone at range, but not damning myself in some CQC
