Battlefield 3 M249

[AlexeiLB]

First off let me begin by simply asking WTF happened to battlefield 3 since the last patch? Everyone uses FAMAS and I get killed instantly DA FUUUUUUUk


My favorite weapon system in the game is the m249

I have it equipped with the Reflex Red Dot Sight, Extended Mag of 200 rounds and a Foregrip. I don't generally sit around I will push forward and suppress while my squad mates flank around the sides. There are times when all 4 of us will flank and I generally go first and clear the place out, its nice having 200 rounds and not reloading when you come up behind 5-6 guys (grand bazaar, Seine Crossing objective B in conquest).

My current rank is 32 Sergent Major 2,190 kills 715 with the m249. 1,710 Deaths, 1625 Suppression assists. I am not the best out there but WTF man recently I am just not having it. From what I understand they increased the recoil on the m249 with the latest patch now I cant hit **** unless I just tap. Then you get some guys who will just jump around and ****, then take two shots with their famas and your done.

Battlefield 3 has always been a very buggy game so now they have to do updates all the time to make it look like they are fixing the game. IMO its still a beta quality build. Them nerfing guns is a bi product.

Shame. This game had huge potential, but they really rushed this puppy out the door to compete with COD.

i dont play the game, but if you've ever shot the SAW irl you'd realize how crazy it is to even try to shoot it when not in a supported position.

When BF3 launched, the console servers were all sh*t; you literally couldn't get into hardcore matches. Then, they patched the servers and the game was like a taste of the Virgin Mary's breast milk. This was short-lived.

It didn't take but two weeks for hardcore mode to turn into infantry mode, and then get busted down to standard mode minus the HUD a month or so after that. "Hardcore" has been completely nerfed in terms of hit damage, Anti-crew weapons damage, support electronics efficiency, and weapon manipulation.

And despite the fact that "hardcore" mode allows a ten year old Russian tank to survive three direct hits from a Javelin missile launcher, I can't survive a single spray of (never-issued, non-stabilized) fletchette rounds from a Remington 870 140 meters away. Or better yet, my RPG-7 projectile is less effective than a burst of (breaching-intended) 12 gauge frag rounds from a gun that is used less in actual combat than the Desert Eagle.



I intended on being done with BF3 since new Tom Clancy material was supposed to release next week. But now that Ghost Recon has been pushed back, it looks like I'll be killing my time with some campaign action from Mass Effect 3. Still haven't gotten a chance to play BF3 on PC, but the console version is garbage now.

I can count my deaths by FAMAS on PC. Less than 20. Overused for the first 2 weeks after B2K, then people realized how sub par the weapon actually is.

I use the m249 with IRNV.

m249 with IRV prepatch/ex.mag/foregrip was such a godly combo.

And I don't know bout PC, but on xbox the famas and usas are the two most used weapons

[bloodthorne]

same.... IRN scope, foregrip, ext mag

BRB accurate, i can see you anywhere, and 200 rounds coming at you.... chances of survival: not very good

[scotyg]

holo+grip+extended mag

good night sweet server
