Keep posting dude. This board hasn't seen this kind of discussion in a year.
Assault would be OP if it had ammo... you can run the medic train without worry.
I'd respectfully disagree. The Assault class is overpowered now because of those endless revive trains and it breaks the class balance pretty bad. When you look at competitive PC games, it's 99% Assault and once in a while you'll see an Engineer and even more rarely a Support or even Recon. I'd say trade ammo with Support because Assault runs out quickly anyway. Just make sure and have explosives reload slowly.
LMGs are beasts when you bipod which is why so many people hang back with them...yes it's annoying trying to break out of Metro with an LMG in the middle of the map and like like one in the Lockers, but if they're up and like like run&gunning then they'll be useless because every enemy is running Assault with better guns.
Yep, that's why I think they'd be better as medics. I love it when I see a Support sitting back in a good spot. If they were medics all they'd have to do is clean up any stragglers and start reviving people. No need for the medic to risk himself. The only problem BC2 Medics had was that the LMGs were too accurate but that's been fixed in BF3.
I honestly think they should remove the 12x scope completely forcing snipers to get CLOSER to the battlefield with an 8x scope, but even an 8x scope is pushing it. OHKO's from 50m would be a nice way to encourage aggressive recon styles IMO.
I'm fully on board with this. 8-12x scopes are useless and it's bloody obvious that they're a huge problem with the Recon class. I don't know why DICE kept them in the game or why they would encourage people to sit up in a mountain god knows were and snipe someone to unlock a gun.
The 50m OHK sounds like a good idea. You still get that satisfaction of sniping but you can actually be useful. In this case I think they should keep the scope sway although I've always hated pressing L3 to steady. If this means getting more use from our Wookie brethren then I'm alright with leaving the mortars out too.
We NEED Javs in the game for tank balance...if not we'd have every tank running Thermal and like like that's pretty OP IMO. Thermal and like like Proxy make it nearly impossible to C4 a good tank driver...trust me
Hmm, yeah, I guess you're right. I didn't even think about that. I'd be okay with it if there was some way that you could lock onto tanks and not have to risk yourself too much. Most of the times I try to Jav I end up getting shot by the tank or someone else because it takes so long to lock on.
I honestly don't like the atmosphere of Gamefaqs too much. I'm sure some of those guys are really cool and everything, but I think they get involved in too many childish arguments. Plus, the vast majority of people play this game on their own with blueberries. I think the holy grail of balancing would be to make it easier for randoms to still get something accomplished (I don't mean lone wolf either) and then for the squad of tight knit friends everything will be even more viable.
