Does anyone know what exactly is the purpose of an assault rifle in BF 2042?
Far to mid range , LMG wins.
Mid range to close, SMG wins.
Far, Mid, Close, prone, behind rock, behind tree, inside tornado, at spawn, at desktop, Sniper wins.
So what exactly is an assault rifle for?
Which weapons do you'll use if your playstyle is suited more for rushing , close + mid range accuracy?
@GosBikerNo offence intended but I think the problem is elsewhere if one loses to bolt action rifles in close range. The sniper was either lucky as heck or just much better than the other player.
Assault rifles are jacks of all trades and masters of none and the darlings of the dev teams, sooner or later anything that beats them will get nerfed.
@Lykosia I am trying to say that this wont last. The smgs will definitely get the nerf sledgehammer
I've been playing the assault rifles non-stop and I can tell you, it only kills fast if you attach rapid fire on it.
Snipers are OP, they do not flinch when getting shot at. And as mentioned by the rest, if you did play with the assault rifle enough, you'd realise that you'd do much better with the SMG for rushing and LMG for camping/defending.
edit: rapid fire takes away the range, making this a 2nd class SMG. So, you'd rather use a SMG.
Gunplay was perfect in Beta, I don't know why they changed it. But it seems to be the motto of AAA game companies these days "if it ain't broke, break it"
The SVK is stupid OP at the moment, its why almost everyone is running that or an lmg.
True, I very rarely get killed by someone using AR's, it's always SMG/LMG and snipers, tried using them, but you are always outclassed by the others.
If they nerf LMGs then they become useless. As the ADS time is already slow.
DMRs especially the DM7 are probably going to to toned down. Increased recoil should do the trick.
SMGs falloff damage needs increasing.
ARs need just a damage increase.
Also the random bullet deviation hurts the ARs and LMGs the most. That needs to be removed or drastically toned down.
Not sure why Dice keeps putting in the damn random bullet deviation. Are we going to have to wait a year for Dice LA to fix the guns again like BF4..../sigh.
