Pkm 1.22

cobrophy

played a bit of post patch 1.22 last night. looks like the pkm has been fairly neutered. i think everyone agrees that it was pretty overpowered before but one thing to be said for it was that it made support a much more playable class.

Just wondering what peoples opinions on it is...is it balanced now or was it excessively nerfed?

(I dont have the 3rd support unlock hence my not mentioning it)

I think the whole problem is going prone too quickly, it's not the MG gun itself. they punished the mg when going prone and coming up shooting too quickly is the problem. I still think DoD is the way it should be, it takes 1 to 2 seconds to come up shooting when going prone. MG's are meant to have suppressing fire, an mg in a good position will keep a pack of enemy pinned or it will mow through them.

Nevermind PKMs in the head, i'm sick of guys going prone, coming up shooting and getting me straight away, G3 is the new PKM. I hate that gayass little roll animation as well.

I got my vetran Support last night with the PKM and I dident patch up, now that I got it i`ll patch but Ive never really noticed it to be an accurate weapon in the first place. I did get 3 guys in a row inside a building that came running at me. The need to not reload helped me to this. I`ll patch up tonight and see what its like then. I find it easy to get high score as support as it is but hard to get kills.

still think its a great weapon having played a bit more but i definitely feel its lost something at range which is fair enough, it shouldnt be able to beat snipers

of course this could all just be a placebo effect where i think its not as good cause i expect it to be not as good after reading the release notes

Lord diablo

havent seen any real dif in the PKM bar the range is def lowerer cant get prople from afar which makes things much more even. It is definatly a pin down weapon especially in a city map!!!

the G3 seems to reload quicker now or am i just imaging it?
