Caltrops - Battlefield 2





	[quote name="Flavio"][quote name="Entropy Stew"]The 1st support unlock: HOLY GOD. When prone, this thing is a demon. Easily my favorite new weapon. I don't intend on getting the 2nd unlock because I can't imagine it being better than this. Fantastic for raping the 1st MEC spawn in Karkand. Fantastic anywhere, really. -/ES/-[/quote] The PKM? I've found it to be pointless for anything but inflicting damage to unarmored vehicles and helicopters, which the anti-tank and barret sniper are much better at. Against infantry it's so inaccurate that it loses to a shootout against a standard assault rifle <i>all the time</i>. At the short range where it finally because viable, the semi-auto shotgun is a better choice (again making the anti-tank class superior). The only situation I've ever seen any worth in a support weapon is being faced with multiple enemies, rounding a corner, at short range, who are too stupid to stop and lob grenades once they see the pointman go down. I heard the 2nd support unlock solves the accuracy issue, but that they also "tweaked" it in the 1.2 patch. Curious to see if it's still worth it. Hey remember those two free unlocks everyone was supposed to get right before the patch? Still haven't gotten them. Only 10,000 more points to go till my next promotion![/quote]
