God, some of you guys would make terrible game developers.

For class-based arcade-y multiplayer games like this, there HAS to be balance. This is not a war simulator. If it were, there wouldn't be multiple lives, ability to heal yourself via injection of a needle, etc.

This is an arcade style game, COME ON. And for it to play well, there's got to be variety in class make-up. The most enjoyable games are ones where there is diversity, not ones where everyone is a sniper, demolitionist, etc..

Think about it, every class has to have advantages/disadvantages, and DICE has done a pretty good job at it... especially compared to similar games.

Every class is good against infantry at a certain range.. very rocks/paper/scissors. If Demo was good at close range AND their rockets could take out infantry at long range via splash damage, they would be overpowered.

If support's LMGs were beefed up any (and this is my favorite class), THEY would be overpowered due to their bonus abilities (points from healing/repairing/CQC versus Armor + Mortar strikes). Besides, with the MG36 unlocked, I can actually kill snipers at range. Just aim for upper chest and do 3 shot bursts. It only takes 3 to 6 rounds to kill with LMGs if you aim for upper body/head.

If Assault's grenade launcher did splash damage and could kill multiple guys at once, noob tubers would be abundant, and with the self-heal, overpowered.

Demo's need some loving as far as damage vs armor goes, and some of the weapon unlocks are just way better than the rest in their class... but other than that, the classes themselves are pretty balanced!

weeeelll thats not how its used on real battlefields, im pretty sure thats what there MEANT for but there not always used for that, look at terrorist, they just pop up and shoot one at people they dont look around for a vehicle or just blow up a random wall, not tryin to be a dick but they do use rpgs on people. Hmmm.

OK, FINE, but how many people missed someone with a rpg by only a foot and didnt kill them when you first used the weapon in this game? so far EVERY on of my friends did and there reaction was the same, and i quote: "that was fucking stupid"

What about my legitimate question? How does my knife cut those fences down? and as far as the rockets go, I agree.......a rocket launched into a room with 4 people should kill all of them or at .least a few

As far as shooting rockets at inf, that not what its for unless its a sniper lol. The only problem I have with a class is the assault kit aka nube tube. I was working on getting the 6 kills with the grenade launcher. When a grenade out of the launcher lands right at the feet of the opponent and doesn't kill him, that's a problem! They will take some damage but not enough for a kill. Now that complete bs and everyone knows it. I understand that it was put in the game to remove structure but come on. You have to actually nail the guy with a nade unless he's already damaged. That's my only problem with these kits. Everything else seems to work fine. I take that back, the JDAM is underpowered some.

RPG's are a shaped charge which means they are focused so they can go through armor. Not saying that the splash from one in BFBC isnt fucked up but that might contribute to a lower splash than grenades.

so i ASSUME that you want to make the sniper class even more powerful than it already is? i ASSUME you want to have your cake and eat it too. i ASSUME you are, indeed, a fool

and im not going to give you, or anybody for that manner, any respect unless theyve earned it, and you havent earned jack-5hit
