Nope, those stat bars are exactly the same as their normal variations. Also testing with them shows the same patterns. With the exact same time in my MG3 as normal and Speact they were within 2 kills of each other. And others observed the samething. The one gun with different stats is the MG3, but if you compare, somehow they got mixed up, it has the exact stats of the MG36, but it's still the MG3, for some reason it shows the wrong stats on the bars, thats all.
They need to patch that, it's extremely misleading. SPECACT weaps aren't bad, there is a reason they are the final unlocks for each class. The weaps are balanced and I like the default "noob" weaps a lot. You can compete with someone that is using SPECACT kits with the noob weaps.
There wasn't 30's and 40's when I started. But if I restarted, I wouldn't get pwned by 30's or 40's, might hurt a little bit, but the PKM is the best Medic weapon (1st weapon), the XM8 is one of the better Assault Weapons (I think 2nd unlock), the M24 is one of the best Recon weapons (1st weapon), and the 1st 2 engi weapons aren't too bad.
You are coming in a vet from other Battlefield games, so you know the ropes. Myself, this is my first one and with all the crazy chances I take to keep the action going, my k/d ratio suffers. My k/d ratio is coming up with experience and practice, but it was brutal at first. As far as weap choice goes, use whatever is most natural to you to succeed in getting the kill. I had to earn several insignias for weaps I didn't want to use, but I am getting close to being able to use what I want, when I want, without grinding for insignias.
And I do agree that if you want to gold each weapon, that makes a huge difference, but you could never plat each weapon by 50, unless you go no team points.
Never stated going platinum each weapon was feasible. Going gold each weap should yield the same point value as continuing to earn gold for your choosen weap, so I go that route. I got plat in heavy armor about 30, so now I avoid tanks so I can get kills towards other stars. Sucks you can't multi plat cuz I am teh uber pwner in tanx. a.k.a. Tank Commander. As I am closing in on accumulating all insignias, I see the level grind is going to be brutal very soon in a few levels when I have all insignias. Weap stars are my only way to facilitate the process.
Yeah, the M95 does hit like a hammer, but it's time to load a new shell into the chamber is so slow, its reload time is slow, and it's the only Recon weapon that you can't hold the scope up after you shoot. Recons the class I play the least, I'm an action kinda guy, cap flags, knife people, revive people, sitting and watching is boring.
I'm on top of the world now that I've figured out where to put the scope for sniper. I love hanging back and sniping from afar. I even get in assault rifle range with people and go toe to toe, head shotting them while strafing while they are shooting right at me. M95 is the pro sniper rifle. I learned with it to grind SPECACT pins and insignias, it helped me a lot to force me to aim correctly. What drives me nuts is when people play recon and NEVER throw a motion mine. Every time I throw one, it makes a world of difference and the enemy usually gets wiped out in their cubby hole when my side rushes in per knowing their exact location.
Thats mostly why I got it. Although I might be the only one who liked the Red Hat Medics for the Russians, to me it was like a "here I am, come and get me!"
The red hat helps big time to identify them, I forget which side I'm on and get killed thinking I am the other team after playing long hours.
OMG, did I ever have a blast grinding for my C4 insignia, literally. Believe I will go back to using that once I finish grinding all other insignias.
As for FOV, anything beyond the default value is fish eye per the way the game is coded. I'm leaving mine @ default.
I can't get the car radio to work and I have it set @ 1 in the ini. Ne1 else have this problem?
Sober probably not as fun
and I usually have to stay quiet at home to not bother my parents etc
Its called sportsmanship. You should look it up.......nevermind, I did it for you.
