Aparently from what I've been told along with the nerfing of the M60 and M1911, the AN94 (predictable) and M16 (a little shock) are also being nerfed. I really don't see why the M16 is in anyway overpowered, yes it's accurate but it's one of the weaker assault rifles as a trade off unlike the AN94 which is both massively powerful and accurate especially with a red dot.

What does "nerf" mean? are they going to be removed from the game? or made less powerful? I really can;t see how the m16 is too strong of a weapon either, i've picked it up off of fallen enemies and i would shoot away only to have the opposing player scamper off :(

From a firepower standpoint the metaphor in general, for example, means turning this:

Into this:

:lol:

Are they nerfing all of those? I dont know about the nerfing... I mean in the end some other gun will come out to be more powerful in some way and they have to nerf those... it could become a never ending cycle.

👍 There's plenty of glitches and server related issues that EA DICE could be sorting out before they ruin the weapons:rolleyes:(rolleyes). Though if they really do have to 'nerf' the weapons can they change the knifing animation?, that's been pissing me off rather a lot recently and it also gives a big advantage to whoever is about to kill you.

I agree... but what exactly is up with the knife animation? Havent had any real issues except that I miss on occassion when I could have sworn I hit them, due to the sounds I here...

They get pulled towards you from quite a significant distance away, so while your firing everything you've got at them they can still kill you with a knife even if they're a couple of metres away. Oh and the missing you mentioned needs to be sorted too.👍

I can't quote the source, my clan mate told me about it as I'm an M16 user, he's an M60 and currently M1911 user and I've often said the only debatably overpowered weapon is the AN94. I really really don't see why my precious M16 is overpowered, I use it because I've always liked how the M16 looks and 3 burst weapons. I just get the feeling it's the kids complaining because M16 users are killing them, but you have to play Assault through alot so by the time you get it you're pretty handy with the Assault class.

I understand where youre coming from. I just have never had the feeling that a certain gun was overpowered while playing imo. I've unlocked everything on Engineer and Medic.... almost got the M416 on assault which Ive been waiting for... loved that AR in the first BC. And all the guns Ive used seemed balanced... I did switch over to the M60 recently to see what the fuss was about and once you get use to it, it IS a great gun... but also not overpowered imo, I can get the same amount of kills or more with the M249 SAW which I get the impression not to many people like... :p In MW2 for example it was blatantly obvious with the 1887s that they were overpowered because you would see someone on the next block blast you away with a shotgun.. I'm just afraid the nerfing is going to lead to more nerfing and that the balance I love so much in this game will be tarnished.
 
Been playing this alot !

Got one last achievemenet to get for the full 1000

20 Destruction 2.0 Kills !

Must have about 5 - its a slow process but its worth it !
 
What platform you playing on Barryl?
 
The Demolition trophy is a pain in the arse. That will take a long time, then again you need to rank up to level 19 or so to be able to do the pistol trophy.

I've thought about C4'ing a whole building (the one next to B on White Pass) and then just letting rip when baddies get in there.
 
How many C4s does it take to level a building? I havent been focusing on that at all to be honest... Ive been killed plenty of times by falling houses though... :p
 
Whoa... That little? So you have to take out one of the support beams too then, huh? Im asking because I tried putting C4 in the corners of the building one time, but that was unsuccessful... atleast it didnt level the building... Looks simple enough here though...
 
I'll be trying it tonight, that's for sure. Extra explosives damage is needed too I reckon.

Which tag do you use for BC2, Blitz?

I'm on XBOX 360

Gamertag is xSHAx BaZrA if anyone wants to squad up ! Or check my stats lol

Dragon... "The Dentist" trophy is REALLY easy... All you do is run up to the enemy on a UAV station and use your repair tool when your engineer... :D Thats how I got that trophy... I know its a bit simple maybe, but I tried going after people and that just makes it hard and you suffer unnecessary death :)

Just reading back a bit...

Better than how I did it. I found two guys on Arica Harbour hiding behind a concrete wall (Near A right on the harbour wall), "Dentisted" the first bloke, second bloke turns around and shoots me whilst I try and murder him with my Black & Decker!

LoL... I only came upon that idea when I was on a UAV myself :) I got killed and looked at the text expecting "combat knife" only to see it say <repair tool>... Then I was like, "OOOOHHHH so THATs how you do it!...." So after finding out that the good ole Black & Decker is THIS lethal, I know what im going to grab next time an intruder is in my house. :D Off to the tool shed...
 
I've been really enjoying this game online. Squad Deathmatches are very good if you get a squad that knows what it's doing (rare in my opinion). Even when everyone is a Recon class the spotting/sniper battles can be really engaging on the right maps.

I'm becoming a Recon ninja. I just figured out how to take dog-tags last night and now creep around the edges of the maps knifing other Recon or Engineer class players hiding in the bushes. A headshot from 200m out is nice and all, but knifing someone in the back as they are lining up to snipe a squad member is extremely satisfying.

I hope to see more of you out there...

Collecting Dog Tags can get very addictive... atleast for me :)

Yup. Case in point. I was in a squad deathmatch last night and had 16 kills (we lost since our squad had no assault class) but 9 of those kills were via the knife, 3 from motars the rest from actual shooting. I earned a "combat efficency" pin for that one (the pins/awards are funny at times).
 
I prefer killing people with the defribilator and the repair tool, it's a lot more satisfying and humorous, especially when you revive a teammate and take an enemy out at the same time:p. It's just a shame you don't get their dog tags. But yes, knifing can get very addictive.:D

Especially the silver kind:tup: not to mention the tags of those individuals who keep taking you down in a match and they slip up just once!
 
I got my Garand today, they slyly moved the Veterans program and didn't change the old site and just kept it on 'updating'. You only need the free Battlefield Heroes in order to have enough to get the M1 so job done, I now have every piece of equipment available in BC2.

Nothing gives me more satisfaction than knifing spawn campers..rest assured that is a sure fire way of discontinuing their cheap behavior.
 
You guys think there will be DLC weapons to come?

considering there will be DLC to change the appearence of your soldier, some new weapons doesn't seem unfeasable. But that's just me. After all the talk of downgrading certain weapons in BC2, it's almost certain some people will complain about them regardless....damn hippies. :P
 
lol... well, basing alone on DICE's lack of support on their previous games, im a little pessimistic. I hope im wrong though... Those empty slots arent there for no reason, that's for sure..... i think im contradicting myself. I like unicorns.
