Pwngamer.com: Bad Company 2 – To Gustav or not to Gustav?

Pwngamer.com says: That is the question. For those not familiar with the Carl Gustav M2, it is a recoilless anti-tank weapon and is used by the engineer class in Battlefield: Bad Company 2. It is quite the useful toy when taking out enemy vehicles and blowing up bunkered down enemy troops, but where we run into strife is that the weapon is often frowned upon by the Battlefield community.

It's clearly noobish with the extended explosives, you have 7 munitions to us with the GUSTAV, if in your team you have an assault player, you ve got unlimited suplies.

So ?

It's just in the context that we see if the player play easy or not.

Rush mode = spaming Gustav is an alternative, can be usefull to defend (tank) or attack (destroy houses).
Can be consider as random, but usefull

Conquest = maybe the game mode that can be oversaturated with use of Gustav.
Players always got a chance to avoid the spam because of the distance.
Happily the maps are ig in bfbc 2.

More than the p of the GUSTAV or launchers in general.
The worse spot in the game is basecamping.
Some maps are totally unplayable with the basecamp, circlestrafing hellis, there's more to do with that portion of the game than to nerf the GUSTAV.

in my opinion is not to Gustav if you are going against tanks
and Gustav if you are going against air crafts

the RPG is more powerful but it has less speed
Gustav is less powerful is it has more speed

ASSASSYN 36o5224d ago

You must have severe difficulties finding people and dodging gustavs. You sure whine a lot.

disturbing_flame5223d ago

I'm playing only on extreme modes and i don't whine, i just feel it's cheap to play with the GUSTAV only, i can say it, i do it.

Nightshadow5224d ago

I think its wrong when servers punish you for using the M2 on infantry. It's war, anything goes on the battlefield.

xc7x5224d ago

just gimp the weapon like EA / Dice do with sniper weapons.problem solved

xc7x5223d ago

person who disagreed obviously never used sniper rifles in the game

scrubgamer5224d ago

As EA would say, "It's in the game" so just play with it.

RPG is better anyway

Dara O'Briain: 'I never thought I'd become an advocate for gaming'

Whether proudly declaring his love for the medium on prime time BBC One, stealing the show on Charlie Brooker's Gameswipe - or, indeed, defending his hobby right here on CVG - he is, by many gamers, fondly seen as 'our' celebrity.

We caught up with O'Briain to discuss interactive entertainment's role in his life, his opinion of how it's represented in the media and why gaming's nerds and science's geeks have a lot in common - including his respect...
