I have faith in DICE. They've made quite a few fairly balanced games and haven't done anything to make me think all guns will end up feeling the same.
 
We dont want all the guns feeling the same, if they where the same, what would be the point in unlocking them, when your getting nothing better than you have already ?
Better guns have to be of better performance IMO.
Otherwise we might aswell have just one gun per class and no unlocked weapons.
 
Eric.
Okay, currently I'm getting fed up with the enemy using the little flying thing to kill me. Its impossible to shoot at and it just has to fly into me and I die. WTF.

sorry about a second post, just saw this one.

MAV is not difficult to shoot down, I've had guys flying them at me, I always manage to blast them out of the sky lol pistol even worked for me once.
You just have to be aware of whats happening and not ignor it, otherwise your easy meat lol
 
I was just locking onto another heli with my heli's heatseekers, leaned backwards and blew up randomly way above the ground, with no objects around me I think.

Said suicide...

Couldn't agree more.

I for one don't think the Famas is overpowered. Yeah maybe it drops people really quickly, but i've found myself having to use more bullets and more time to kill some people than other guns. Not to mention the reload animation is retardedly (sorry to use that word if it offends you) slow on the gun. Why nerf it even more?

*edit*

Just looking at my stats. The Famas is not even high on my "kills / minute" ratio. In fact, a pistol is number one on that, followed by 870 and M416. Famas is about 7th.
 
Just a friendly general reminder to everybody to avoid txtspk here ;)

Man, so frustrating today. I keep on getting squaded up with level 1 and 2 guys who hold me back by travelling around in groups and dying together, killing my spawn opportunities.

Got some back though. Spammed Seine again with mortar. Got a bazillion explosive destroy ribbons and even killed 2 tanks. 👍
 
I have a problem, whenever I use the A-10 Thunderbolt, it only counts it for the class I'm using when I'm flying. So, in short, I'm getting no jet points. The SU-35, F-18, and the SU-25TM Frogfoot are fine, but the A-10 does not seem to be working. I even looked in Battlelog, no scores or points in the A-10, even when in-game it says when I kill someone "ghskilla [A-10 THUNDERBOLT] Guy" it isn't counting it. I might have cracked over 50 kills and tons of points on it, but it isn't counting it. Can anyone help me?

Here's my Battlelog, don't let my horrific stats scare you away, just look in my vehicles page and see the A-10 does not count.

I heard somebody say the before but I have no trouble with it.

Agree MR some balance is needed. Please Dice though just don't release a patch nerfing the USAS today though, I'm only 26,000 pts away from unlocking it and I want to try it in it's current state first. :lol:
The USAS does seem overpowered at distance though, I'd hate to know how many times I have been killed by one from a distance that I imagine a shotgun wouldn't very effective.
Is it just an ammo thing? Which ammo are these guys using with it that gets these results?

Anyway if I see you on this weekend I'll do my best to join you. 👍

They're using either Solid Slug or FRAG-12 rounds with extended mag. I should know.. I use the combo myself. :scared:

Check this out, it will start out around 4 minutes where they talk about the FRAG rounds, range of over 175 Meters! It's showing the AA-12, but the USAS & AA are fairly similar, and the round will do the same no matter what shotgun it's used in.

I love the fact that Battlefield offers different shotgun ammunition, much more realistic. I kinda want Buck & Ball for 'em though. lol.

I have that problem too, and now that you mention it, it's only A-10 I didn't check any particular maps but I only noticed it on caspian, I unlocked the 240B with an A-10.

I plan on playin BF3 nxt time I'm online, MW3 is just a nice breather from the 2 years of straight battlefield and GT5, but ultimately not as good because it's too unrestricted and ultimately it's not battlefield, also most of the people who play CoD with mics are more annoying than having dog 🤬 on your hand (however it got there in the first place :lol:$).
 
All this talk about developers nerfing guns and whatnot....

Does this mean some people know how to get in touch with the developers?

Some people from here?

Can we pass on information to said developers?

If so, could someone from here tell them that I cannot use my favourite gun, the QBU-88 sniper rifle on any of the map pack maps please.......

As I am sure you are aware, when I try, I end up holding it above my head like I'm trying to wade through a swamp with the damn thing, and I gurn when I ADS instead of actually having a scope and crosshairs......:grumpy:

I would rather they took the time to fix broken things, before they remove the damage capabilities of guns that actually do work.

I don't care if someone's Famas is all powerful, it can't hit me on Sharqi If I am sitting on top of a building, filling you with lead from my QBU......

Or at least, that is what would happen, if I wasn't waving it in the air, singing Mary Poppins songs......

:irked:👍
 
It's way to overpowered and so is the FAMAS. To get things to developer's attention you have to use Battlelog's forums.
 
I had a taste of the auto-aim today :( Really killed it a bit for me there, I didn't feel like that kill was legitimate.

At least the trade-off with the FAMAS as Kamui identified is the ability to have to burn a whole clip on someone and then have to wait 4,5 seconds to reload.

Eh, we'll see what they do.

Going to hop on in an hour or so, hopefully I can fight some lower ranks, not fight with them like yesteday.

Oh yeah I understand that and for that reason it should still have higher than damage than all the other guns as it is the longest reload time for an assault rifle but not as much power as it currently has, that's too high.

The problem with the USAS is that it has high damage, automatic, and range.
 
Why haven't I got the trophie for getting ten kills with the Back to Karkand weapons? I just checked Battlelg and it says I do indeed have 10 kills with all ten weapons.

I have often found myself in trouble. I'll drop some enemies because the Famas has slightly more power than other weapons. But then i'll find myself getting killed when I have to reload. At the end of the day, no one gun is going to make you better. Many commentators believe that. And so do I. It's something I practiced on CoD and Bad Company 2. People on CoD Modern Warfare 2 constantly said "The Scar and UMP are the best guns in the game." So what did I do? I purposefully played with the worst Assault rifle, the F2000. And I started wrecking people with it. I feel that those that complain about 1 all powerful weapon are usually just finding an excuse to why they keep dying. My KD/R is no higher with the Famas as to other weapons. And I don't really think i'm a bad player. I average a 1.4 KDR and have a 1.86 w/l.

In racing, people will say, "Oh this car is faster." So yeah, maybe the LFA, NSX, and M3 CSL are faster on GT5. I purposefully use a "slower" car. Funny thing is, you can still win if you know what you are doing. It's all about utilizing the positives of your object. In real life racing, I was in a race where they said that the engine I was running couldn't compete with another engine. No way you'll even be within 4 tenths. Come qualifying, I qualifyed outside pole by less than a quarter of a tenth. Why? Everybody was saying that the other engine had way more mid range power, which it did. But what people didn't think about, was that it has less top end power than the engine I was running. So I utilized my top speed.

Sorry if that sounds rude, but it really pisses me off when people complain about overpowered items.

On another note. Got enough New Years money to buy a good laptop. So maybe a Asus G53sx or Alienware M14x in the very near future for some PC Battlefield 3 :D
 
^ same here, I used the stock E-type in many races and kicked a** with it against M3's and tuned civics and what not

Anyway, one gun is best, pick a gun and work with it at least until you achieve all stars and stuff, I did it with the 93R, mp443, 1911, G3, GOL, and I was working on M24 platinum in BC2 til BF3 came out

That trophy is a bit glitches right now. Apparently you should get it eventually just keep playing. You may also get it without it popping up so. It's a known issue apparently.
 
I can't decide between continuing on with the SV98 or moving on to the L96... any ideas?
Edit: Just found out that spawning on a Beacon with a parachute isn't a glitch. If you're on an open map/high up etc. you parachute in. If you're on a small map or the Beacon's inside then you spawn directly on it..

On open levels you parachute spawn, on urban levels or if the beacon is placed indoors, you spawn on the beacon.

On the weapon power discussion I stumbled across these links the other day.
Not sure how accurate they are or if you guys have seen them before but I found them worth a quick look anyway.

Interesting find 👍

What do you know.

Indeed, the damage seems comparable to other Assault rifles and, has the same if not worse recoil.
