Thread: Things i despise the most about BF2142

All things considered, stat-wise, the kyrlov is the easiest gun to get a kill with ( this week I'll only use the krylov to demonstrate.) I use the voss for its magazine size; basically so that I can kill 10 people in a clip instead of 8, headshots not accounted for.

This is something I was looking for, though I'm surpised the Krylov turned out on top. I always knew it did a good deal of damage comparatively, but I always felt the deviation went wide real fast, so you had to put someone down in the first burst or risk dying to counter fire. I really would have expected the Baur to come out on top through sheer damage.

The ARs are all fairly even and each has their drawbacks.

This is awesome, thanks Wile. I remember Forquet linked a site similar a while back, but I've since lost the address of it. Is there a date when this site was made? I'm curious if it's up to date or prepatch, because it lists the Voss as 25 damage, and I'd read before it did 20 per shot.

edit: The shots to kill infantry counter is cute for the AT weapons. "1(Good luck!)

If there were only one rocket per reload, there wouldn't be any point in having them. It takes two rockets minimum to kill a soldier at full health. If you increased the damage, then the rockets would be unfair in that you wouldn't be able to get away if you're hit by one.

Rockets are meant to counter players who sit in one spot the entire game. Without them, the assault class loses most of its teeth, and support players and snipers would kill without any sort of retaliation, and that's ridiculous.

Maps like Belgrade, Shingle, Gibraltar, Cerbere... Infantry heavy maps, assault players are the absolutely backbone of the team. Assault players fight at long range with rockets, close/medium range with their rifles, heal/revive teammates, they keep the team moving. Now, granted the assault players shouldn't ever be the first ones into the fight. Leave the frontlines to Lambert-Recons, and Shotgun-Support.

You actually can kill an infantry with one rocket, but you'd have to hit them in the torso/head, which is quite rare. Having increased damage would essentially create an auto grenade which would indeed be overpowered.

I however COMPLETELY disagree with the statement. The AR-Shotgun is standard nearly all the top infantry players. Granted that rockets are useful when there are large servers 48-64 players, but if you get on servers < 32 you'll find AR-Shotguns in use to much greater effect. This is why rockets are non-existent in Clan Mod.
