Just the CG or have other weapons listed for it been nerfed too?. (Please say the M60 has:dopey:) And for all platforms.?

The CG, Thompson and the M1 Garand are the only weapons ive been using recently, you get the most satisfying feeling when you take out a group of enemies with the CG and destroy people using modern weaponry with your WWII equipment.:p

 
^^^^ Here is the list of changes from Corey's link..

Increased the base range of all Automatic and Semiautomatic weapons for more consistent close range combat.
Slightly increased the damage of Semiautomatic rifles over long range for more consistent damage output.

Increased the zoomed burst accuracy of LMGs and decreased LMG accuracy when moving to reduce LMG run and gun.
Decreased the base damage of the M60 and XM8 LMGs to bring them in line with the other LMG damage values.
Decreased the damage of the PKM over long range to balance it with other LMGs.
Increased the base damage of the Type88 LMG to balance it with other LMGs.

Slightly reduced the base damage of the M16 and G3 to balance the increased range.
Slightly increased the damage of the AEK971, F2000, AN94, and AUG over long range to balance them with other Assault Rifles.

Reduced the lethal blast range of the 40mm grenade and M2CG to highlight their role as a secondary weapon against infantry.
Slightly Reduced the max range of the 40mm shotgun to balance it with other shotguns.
Slightly increased the base damage of shotgun rounds and reduced their range to clarify ideal shotgun combat distance.

Reduced the base damage of the PP2000 to balance the increased range.
Increased the damage of the 9A91 over long range to balance its lower magazine size.

Increased the damage and range of the M9, M93 pistols to make them more desirable as a secondary weapon.
Increased the range of the MP443 pistol to make it more desirable as a secondary weapon.
Increased the damage of the MP412 over long range to balance its low rate of fire.
Slightly reduced the rate of fire of the M1911 pistol to balance it with other pistols.

Increased the repair and overheat speeds of the Power Tool. Now overheats sooner but repairs the same amount before overheating.
Increased the maximum number of Motion Sensors that can be carried from 2 to 3 and increased the speed which new sensors are acquired from ammo boxes.
Significantly increased the speed of the Tracer Dart projectile to make it more effective against airborne targets.
Increased the reload time of the Mortar Strike and reduced the damage it does to heavily armored vehicles.
Decreased the range of Bolt Action Sniper and Pump Shotgun Slug rounds when using Magnum Ammo for better Kit Balance, especially in Hardcore.
Slightly increased the Health of soldiers in Hardcore for better Kit Balance.

Increased the benefit from the Medkit Heal+ specialization to make it more desirable as a Specialization.
Decreased the benefit from Vehicle Reload Speed to balance it against other Vehicle Specializations.
Slightly decreased the benefit from accuracy specializations to balance the changes to range and accuracy tweaks.


Fixed a bug where the BMD3 would take extra damage to the front armor.
Reduced the explosive damage from Attack Helicopter cannons.
Increased the damage of AA guns against all targets. The AA gun should be much more effective against infantry on Port Valdez.

These changes will eventually make their way to the 360 and PS3 as we work with our partners Microsoft and Sony to continue to support BFBC2 on all platforms.

Sorry Blitz I should have worded my post better.:ouch:
I know what's changing, I just wanted to know if any other weapons have been nerfed yet aside from the CG and whether they have taken effect on PS3.👍
 
Interesting set of developments for Bc2. It seems like an online Co-OP mode will be introduced next month. I for one haven't played BC2 for some time but playing co-op with new vehicles and with some variations to the maps sounds like a good time.. Red Dead redemption should keep me occupied until then ;) anyways here's the link guys, check it out. ( i'm assuming this is going to be similar to Spec-OPS in MW2 but better)


BC2 ONSLAUGHT MODE:

http://investor.ea.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=468937
 
I haven't used the CG in awhile so I don't remember if it still acts the same.. and I KNOW the tracer dart has been improved because that thing shoots like a bullet and I've seriously shot down the Apache at Port Valdez with the first tracer and first rocket on NUMEROUS occasions

However I don't really realize any other changes. But I haven't used half the guns long enough to tell. Hopefully people can finally stop dick riding the M60 though
 
Looks like the SPECACTS gear is up on the store as of yesterday, I may get the Assault one but ONLY that.
 
Nope, and unlike the 360 version we can't use Dr Pepper codes to get anything either. They ran a promo for a while which meant you could get those SPECACT things for free, one for each promo code you got, but it's only available for Xbox. It's only £1.19 if I remember correctly so it's hardly expensive and I thought I'd use the spare cash I may have left over after I get a GTA DLC.
 
I heard you could use the Dr Pepper codes for PS3 though as well. I'm not really sure though. I have seen a ton of them lately (apparently AUS and NZ have it available to them?) Meanwhile the US still doesn't show a price or a way to acquire them.
 
I checked the PSN store itself and they were all there as of yesterday. I checked the Dr Pepper offer myself and it still clearly says 360 only.
 
yay! i got the dentist achievement last night! :D

[edit - is the bf veteran site down? all i ever get is a connection time out.]

Random thoughts:

I don't like that maps. I feel like I'm playing the same maps over and over again. I know you do one round, switch sides and then replay the map. Maybe, despite the size they're too generic?

Knifing is hard and frustrating. I guess it's because of lag, but, if im not close enough to kill some one why play the stabbing animation? That said, I have 48 unique dog tags.

I wish I could get veteran status as I have BF2 and BF2142 but the veteran site just times out. :(

Classes:

Recon: I must admit, i do not like this class simply because it feels as if has significantly less to offer to the team than any other class. Yes, you can sit back and spot people and it is very satisfying to get a head shot on a running target from the other side of the map. But, I don't feel like I'm helping the team any. Now, if i could carry a SMG instead of a pistol or sniper riffle, I'd enjoy the class more because C4 > RPG imo. In one round I took out 2 light tanks/apc's and 1 heavy tank. That felt really good :D I'll use this class more once I've the G3 unlocked.

Engineer: I almost never use it unless my squad of xbl friends are using it armor. I'll generally lag behind them so neither of them have to risk loosing their seats while they repair. I've also gotten some nice helicopter kills with the RPG. But, the RPG feels useless against ground vehicles. I had a brief fling with an AKS-74U and liked it. Good power for a silenced SMG.

Assault: I've everything unlocked for it and use the AUG/4 x scope. Though i might change it to a red dot sight because the AUG reminds me of the ISA riffle from Killzone 2. A red dot sight would help that feeling even more :lol: Ironically I've yet to try the F2000 :( I can generally place well in this class because I use and abuse ammo boxes. Small tip: do you have a sniper camping an objective? Spawn on him and toss an ammo box at his feet for easy points.

I don't use this class much anymore because I have everything unlocked for it plus I've been finding more people are using it making it pointless for me to do so.

Medic: I generally don't like LMGs so I like to run around through the front lines and support my team mates with revives and med packs. This and assault are my favorite classes because there's more opportunity for direct help for the teams/squads.

[empty space] I believe the maps are very spacious and I am always finding new places to look/hide and take someone out. Have you tried the different maps between conquest, rush, squad deathmatch, and squad rush? Knifing should be done covertly to be done properly, going one on one is a flip of coin as to who will win (if you don't get shot first). Try the BBC2 site (EA) and update your veteran status, it should work. I got my 1943 and BBC1 already. If you have not played in a squad from the members of this forum then I can completely agree with you are most of your comments. Having a good squad and working as a team are Ideal in this game. As for each kit: Medic, Engineer, Recon, Assault it just depends on the map and situation. I started out liking medic and engineer but have reverted to assault. Primarily people need ammo constantly and as assualt I can gratiously hand it out (+20 for resupply)! Depending on the situation I will switch between the other kits as needed as I have unlocked everything.
 
Maps i hate:
Laguna Presa***
White Pass*
Nelson Bay*
Port Valdez**
Isla Innocentes****
Atacama Desert*

Maps i like:
Arica Harbor****
Laguna Alta**
Valparaiso*
Panama Canal***

Favorite:
Arica

To Dice:
Please release all the modes for all maps! It's already in the disc! You limey greedy b*st*rds!

I miss Oasis!

i cant get to the BFBC2 site because it times out too.

at this point, ive only tried conquest and rush.

i would like to join some games with people from here. ive found someone whose a good team mate but is a bit too realistic about his voice chatter, over. copy that? traditionally i just end up try to keep up with my team and keeping them healed/revived/ammoed up as best as i can.

knifing is frustrating because its hard to judge distance sometimes plus lag. they stand still, i knife and they walk away unharmed, turn around and shoot me while im still playing with my knife.
 
I like more, if not all maps really. Atacama Desert I probably hate one of the most (not so much anymore since I just screw around with the helicopters) but it's so huge it's just not as fun

Most other maps have their own addition to the game though. And I wish they could bring in the couple maps from 1943, even with the airplanes

I'm now level 49 and it's a long 300k to 50, so I'm going to try and pull off a 55k point match for the fun of it
 
im really disappointed in the ending.

so, the russians are invading through canada and alaska and it rolls the credits. wtf? :grumpy:

[edit - wow, i just knocked all the way back into the dash board.]

Just got 67 kills on the light house map. That's the most I've gotten since I got 93 in the beta. I went on an 11 kill streak with the M93. (It's beast after the patch)

*All in Normal mode
 
im not much of a killer which is why i like the assault and medic classes. i nearly had a few ace pins with the engineer kit tonight :)
 
I had no friends playing tonight since my level 50 friend left, and I was looking for good games but I kept getting in games with randoms and most of them were garbage 👎

Yeah, nice one Cale!.👍
I think the best i've ever had was something in the low 50's defending at Arica Harbour a while ago. Carl Gustav's and M1 Garand FTW!.:D
 
I seriously recommend the M93, it saved my life so many times when my main weapon needed a reload.
 
I'm trying to platinum my Rex right now since I have 9 gold stars, but the M93 is so much better. I've had a gun I've already platinumed in my hands by accident when I've spawned (M16A2) and took out 4-5 guys with the M93R at a considerable distance. With the Rex I would've got two shots in and they would've been running along
 
how do you get different stars for different weapons? i just use them and they start getting stars.
 
how many kills per-star level? im presuming you need multiple gold stars to get a platinum?
