• Anti Tank kit nerfed

I know why did they nerf the AT kit thats the only kit I play grr!

 

[overcast]

How could they nerf anti tank anymore. It already took an insane number of hits to take out tanks.

 

[XooM]

can't jump and shoot? wtf. last i checked it was perfectly possible to jump and shoot in real life. and AT shouldn't be nerfed, tanks are already freakin juggernauts.

 

[overcast]

That's not the point, they were able to jump and EFFECTIVELY shoot. Accurate and the ability to not get hit in the process.

Woot... No more bunnie hopping n00bs!

Still, they shouldn't have nerfed jump/shooting. At least, make it so the accuracy is dropped when you do so. This just takes out realism by not being able to do it.

they nerfed the MP7 for the Anti Tank, not the kit itself. Which still sucks.

There's still a lot of servers running v1.1.2 so you can still play that. That's what I was doing earlier although my fav. servers already switched over and I hate this new patch.

The MP7 is a unlock for the Engineer. I get mixed up with the engineer and AT in deciding a method to kill a tank, which is no big deal.

I believe you mistaken the MP5 for the MP7.

whens the last time you fucking jumped and shot a gun? no one does that.

 

[wazzledoozle]

The force a of a full auto rifle firing while you jump into the air would probably knock you on your back

Helos

Helos still have 14 rockets, atleast in BF2:SF.

The no jumping while shooting is a GREAT THING, no more god damn Dolphin attackers.

Also, making the guns super accurate adds a HEAP of fun to the game. The Support Class was completely useless, which is grossly unrealistic--Now the PKM is a feared weapon as it should be.

THe G3 was on the border of being worthless, since it would take FOREVER to hit someone--one clip per person due to bullets not traveling even remotely straight.

In real life, due to the extremely long barrel length of the G3, it is accurate as hell. Up until 1.2, it was a high-damage weapon with the accuracy of a machine pistol.

The best improvement has to be the sniper weapon accuracy improvement--it now takes less time to train in on a target. THe M95 used to be shit compared to the M24. Now it's MUCH better.

The 2nd best improvement is to Anti Aircraft Missile Batteries---Up until v1.2 they could only take down slow moving transport choppers---due to the rediculous attack power of the Blackhawks & Cobras & Hinds, making these missiles accurate is a necessity. I for one am THRILLED that they made these weapons more accurate and I'm mostly a pilot!

The MP7 wasn't nerfed, it now has 40rounds per clip, which is a hell of a lot better than 20.

The L85 is now as good as it should be--- super accurate.

It looks like they increased damage to the missles to compensate for the missile loss. I dont know by how much at this moment, it just felt that im taking down a tank easy with this patch.

It was a nuisance but it was tolerable.

And by making the game a little quicker too.

I was suprised at first as well. Just a change in tactics is all the pilots need. Ive seen most pilots in other forums cry about the accuracy of the AA.

The only adjustment I had significantly seen to be changed is the grenade launcher attachment and frag grenades. It seems to have a delay before the grenade launcher actually flys away and hits the target. Is anybody having the same reaction as I am? And the frag grenades can be thrown farther now, which is nice for a sneak attack.

You know that at least with the BF42 Desert Combat, the updates actually fixed problems and balance in the game. This last patch only balanced a few things but then broke even more stuff. I wish EA would actually fix things they broke in other patches. Some maps have problems in them. One map has problems for the commander, another has severe lag for everyone.

So I read that they were gonna do away with the jump/shoot but still leave the ability to jump/toss granades/C4. Well so much for that.. now those that use C4 against armor are handicapped where you can't chuck C4 or granades anymore. And for the most part there is a delay in putting out C4 or granades.

The AA is finally fixed as it should be. The big problem now is that quite often the Anti-Armor rounds are going strait through tanks and APCs without hitting. I also found out that in the helo's, the gunner can shoot 2 missles and then try shooting the 3rd with nothing happening. After it acts like it shot it will reload and then shoot normally. This didn't happen before this last patch.

BF2 is a good game, but EA really needs to fix the problems that are in the game or many I know are gonna start playing something else other than EA games if possible.
