Something is wrong. Classes are seriously unbalanced

[crosseyedsniper]

To the point. Snipers are seriously OP right now. Soldiers are completely useless.

The trend right now is snipers with fast rifles cleaning-up servers, and gunner mobs killing anything that moves. I rarely see a soldier in the game...

Something should be done about some of the sniper weapons. They're just too OP. From day one the rule was NO one-shot kills in the game, but we have snipers doing 3 shots in less than a second- that's a "one-shot" kill in my book. There's no time to react.

Soldiers, well, soldiers, are just useless. They're useless against snipers and gunners. Everyone has tonics and/or bigger and/or faster weapons. Hiding behind a gunner doesn't work any more...

I have one of each at level 30 and I find myself playing gunner all the time and exiting games when the snipers get too overpowering. EA, no matter how many outfits you release (along with a funny video) the game is seriously getting boring...

Discuss (or not)...

Gunners = OP Close Range
Commandos = OP Long Range
Soldiers = OP at Supporting

Lol there is a healing class in nearly every class based game. Comparing, soldiers aren't OP at supporting as they don't even always bring a hero to full HP again. Also if they are good at supporting that encourages teamwork. Which is only good am I right?

Tonics however are OP at healing.

Back on-topic yeah that is a problem along with some bugs and if you hang around here for a while you see that people talk about the issue a lot. They know the two classes are OP, we just don't know if they are doing anything about it.

Yeah I think solider is too "balanced" and the other two are too op, that is why I am playing only on my gunner afterall...

Yup, I was referring to groups of soldiers, I should have clarified myself. If you've got a lone gunner and a random soldier clinging to the gunner, up against two soldiers, both with teamspeak/skype chances are the soldiers will coordinated a better assault, thus winning the battle. But for the most part, soldiers are in fact usless against snipers, once the servers hit level 25+

:O I agree, I hate OP fast sniperz

[Dark~Specialist]

If you can't beat them, JOIN them!

(Commandos)

[Sedusa]

Didn't HATE mention few times that balancing actions are going to take place in the near future?

[7nvisibleGunner]

Dude quit complaining, when EA nerfs the Commando your still probably going to complain because the Commando is now "useless"
Plus its not like you dont have a commando with a sniper and your not the only one in the world who has this problem.
I also would suggest move around when theres a sniper shooting at you instead of standing still, it wont help.

This is a poor point. You need to make both sides fair. Why does only the soldiers have TS/Skype... Why can't a gunner and a soldier have it too?

Anyway I disagree. If they both have TS/Skype or both don't it is really based on the skill of the two but theoretically I'm quite sure the gunner and soldier would win. You see the gunner and soldier team will have hero shield, leg-it and keg. Which the soldiers don't have.

someone killed me ??? must be cheat or overpowered ...

[EddyKawabata]

Soldiers with a LRP and a good strafing can take down snipers.
Soldiers with BS and LRP with strafing can take out gunners.

I like playing soldier. They aren't overpowered, they are just balanced in every range.

Not only OP but available to all classes. Soldiers are really scru... People say soldiers are only strong in team but really... which class isn't? Everyone is equally strong as a team and the developers once again said something will be done(in the summer lmao). Until then... carry own with absurdness!

He did. He said that the Gunner would have some tweaks this summer.

[MUTZILA]

You tell me.Now i becomed OP with my royal soldier i just start shooting and i kill 3 players in a row.This is so cool.But the commando has becomed OP too.He just shoots the tank with that rifle Panzerfist 3 times and then the tank explodes.With that Uber Sharpshooter it kills me only with 2 or 3 shots.The gunners have become weak i kill them with only 3 or 2 cartridges.

[RustySituation]

God knows how many times I've passed by these LQ threads along with these LQ members

[Wixxi]

The game has changed alot, but it's not unbalanced imo. Each class could use some tweaks, yes.

But overall, if you know how to play each class you can own with it.

I play soldier most of all my heroes. And if you look at my profile you will see the k/d of my soldier is about the same as the k/d's on my other heroes.

Let's ask the players you kill if the class are OP or you are simply better than them

Tips on currently playing soldier(for below average players):
Hide in tank to avoid snipers.
Run away from gunners and always blast.
Pistol pistol pistol burn burn burn(do in a safe spot where u can take cover, you lose against rifle).
stay in team, you might not have the advantage but sticking with teammates will give extra strength.
Camp with mando to decrease ps5 headshots.
buy a bunch of tonics

^ these steps will match you to a below average player gunner/mando or to an average soldier(ha).
