Urgh, they need to nerf the M60, remove the gustav and buff the engys anti tank rocket launchers.

The M60 is just silly-powerful, especially considering the medic is supposed to be the support class. The Engys machine guns are all pea shooters, which would be fine with me if it took less than three rockets to destroy a tank, even with the most powerful anti tank rocket launcher (which sucks btw, it forces you to stand out in the open for a second or two to guide the rocket, easy pickings for the tank then). The gustav on the other hand is uber for killing infantry, too uber, imo the engy shouldn't have it at all.

The medic shouldn't be the most effective anti-personell character in the game and the engy should be more specialised to killing armour.

(For the record, i play as engy)

From whenever i've picked it up, damage hasn't been the issue, it's the non existant kickback.

This is a LMG we're talking about here, it's designed to be used on a bipod a lot of the time and has stupid amounts of kickback. Yet in the game, you can fire off a good 10-15 rounds (5-10 more than is needed if you aim well) and the gun will have only just begun to kick back.

On the flip side you've got me with my pea-shooter, 9mm SMG, that kicks to hell and back even when crouching and has to be fired in 3 short bursts at anything above medium range.

It's a sniper rifle with a 100 round clip as far as i'm concerned.

Seems reasonable, perhaps even 20% and reduced clip to 50 instead of 100 and take 1/3 off the reload time.

I play medic a lot. I also use the M60. If it's a case of it being over powered or what I don't know (The other weapons possibly UNDER powered). I managed to kill people before it and I'm sure I can kill people without it. However, I do love that gun and will use it if playing medic.
 
damage needs to be sorted on it too. im not that fussed about the kick.
nah the other weapons arent underpowered at all the m60 is just stupid, i wouldnt reduce the clip medics are suposed to be support which means constantly firing. i refuse to use the m60 because it turns you into a noob because you get so used to it. use another gun and see how well you do
 
I treat the M60 as a temporary god mode when my score is low on the list and i want to climb some to avoid embarrassment , if i kill someone who has it in their kit i'll pick it up, rack up a few kills, die and be back in difficult-land.

(Again for the record, i haven't even unlocked the M60 yet, i just rely on nicking it from other kits, god knows every other sod is carrying one).

Try the ump-45... I find it is really good... on par with the XM8 P imo

And I think if you unzoom with the other rocket launcher, it just flies in a straight line, so can be used like a gustav (not certain about this though)

I'm nowhere near unlocking that sadly, i've only just unlocked the silenced AK-47 lookalike, which is better than the previous guns, but it still feels like i'm fighting a losing battle in firefights.

As i say, if i could go out and pwn some tanks as well i'd be happy, but sadly it takes anywhere up to 4 rockets to kill a tank, which you're unlikely to be able to achieve alone in a 1v1 against said tank.

with magnum ammo the fact that 90% of people are slightly wounded mean they die in 1 glancing shot.


The first m24 if just as good as the gol tbh, more dmg, better scope and only a little less accurate.

M95 is a better choice when there's an annoying heli flying about too.

That said, sniping is teh suck :p

I didn't mean in EVERY situation, though hoping a soldier is wounded is really hoping a bit much :p I believe someone posted the damage stats of weapons and there really wasn't much of a difference between the GOL and M95 at the longest range (though admittadly the M95 doing 99 is a guaranteed kill on anyone that so much as sneezed and feels bit off).

M95 is a bit meh vs aircraft (bar UAV). I mean what is it, 2 damage a hit? Its practically nothing.

Everything about the M60 is overpowered. Its damage is excessive, its recoil just isn't there, its clip size is huge (ok its an LMG to be fair) and in a 4x Scope its better at sniping than automatic snipers! Seriously in 1 game with Tefal yesterday (after the ******* shot me in the back because he was hiding in a tree :p) i went Medic and wound up getting just over 20 kills with the gun in the first area (we were attacking and people weren't attacking very well...).

Couldn't agree more. Most the engineers weapons are a joke (i think people only use them on hardcore because you can't get kills otherwise). I used the XM8 for a while which is the first decent unlock, now i use the UMP (though i did accidently use the PP2000 for a game without realising it...i was wondering why i had 40 bullets in a clip ><).
 
I didn't have many problems when I was levelling medic using the other LMG's but the m60 was clearly the best/most OP'd.

Out of interest, what do you prefer getting killed by? I'm 100% the m60. At least I know the guy had to point and click at me with resonable accuracy and timing on the shots. Where as the Gustav gets my blood boiling the most, closley followed by the tube but as it's not 100% effective I don't mind it AS much!
 
with the eng weapons i tended to spray a clip then finish off with the pistol ive id managed to miss the guys head

i think my rage o meter goes
gustav
40mm (particularly when im behind a wall and its destroyed the wall and me (i dont stand so close to walls anymore))
m60

to be fair i'd expect a LMG to kill someone in 3-4 shots, its all in the name really! They're desgined to rip people apart lol :p

I find it more than easy enough to kill a medic if I am using e.g. engineers AK...

I'm killed by 40mm's more than anything hahaha!

At moment I'm running around with an ACOG uzi, very good fun :p plus wanna get knife up to platinum :)

Its not primarily the damage thats the problem. Its the ridiculous accuracy and complete lack of recoil. Seriously on Port Valdez shortly after i unlocked the M60 i spent the first area stood on Sniper Hill killing people from long range. Its just not a surpression gun like it should be, its a all-round death machine.

The fact is the jokes a few pages ago about how if you're assaulting a base with the M60 and you might only be able to kill 7 or 8 people, 10 if you're lucky, with 1 clip, are quite true. It is entirely possible to kill 8 people in a single clip and thats on Normal.
