The Scar used to be in the same damage range as assault rifles, and quite a bit better than any other engi weapon - the main problem being you had to land less actual hits to kill someone which made it considerably better over medium ranges where spraying wasnt effective.

It's probably still one of the better carbines over medium range but others particularly the A-91 are better up close now.

Edit: It used to be 3 bullets for a kill up close, and 4 for all the other weapons. It did 34 damage point blank and 26 at medium range, and I think they only nerfed it a tiny bit but it makes a big difference if it requires an extra bullet, considering its small clip and recoil theres better choices now.

I've never noticed a difference between the suppressor being on or not with the F2000, if there is one then it must be tiny.

The Assault class weapons are all a bit too similar if anything, the exception being the AN-94... which hit every branch of the underperforming tree on the way down.

Cant agree on this mate, AN94 is bitchin' and the rate of fire on 2 rd burst is about 1800rpm, assuming you click as fast as you can.

Its like a default double tap. On hc it's lethal.
 
Not played BF3 since Skyrim came out, so I downloaded the patch yesterday and I'm trying to play today but as soon as I press the button to connect to a server it just says "An error was reported from the EA Online". Totally helpful error in broken English! :P

Spoke to EA live chat and told the woman the problem, she asked for my dxdiag information pasted into the chat so I did and told me to give her a few minutes to check things on it. Comes back a few minutes later and tells me to visit the Nvidia website and update my graphics card drivers, and direct paste from my dxdiag: "Card name: ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series". I gave up all hope after that :p

If anyone has any info on this error help would be appreciated! checked Google a bit and other than some guy saying that he reinstalled everything to fix it I can't find anything else.

"SMGs" is incorrect.

The SCAR-H is an carbine assault rifle. It fires the 7.62 caliber round, which is in no way a sub machine gun.

Engineers, rather than being restricted to "SMGs" are now restricted to carbines/pdw's.

As mentioned above, the damage done is based on bullet size, rather than weapon used.

The SCAR-H is one of the few guns that uses 7.62 (others are G3, M240b, M60, and most snipers) AK74 unfortunately doesn't (74 is chambered in 5.56 rather than 7.62).

So considering the SCAR has more stopping power than most of the "proper" assault rifles (allbeit with reduced clip size and rate of fire), no wonder it go nerfed.
 
The damage done for each weapon does fall off differently though. The M60 does less damage than the M240B for example.
 
Only because its rate of fire is slower.

Come to think of it I'm not sure how they've nerfed the Scar and G3 without effecting all the other guns (and theres a good few) that fire the same round.
