every faction is loosing active players in the last couple of weeks and months, but now big numbers count more cause we dont have a lot of players on several servers and some people are crying cause they think other factions are imbalanced.
guess right now its pretty balanced between the factions, numberwise it sucks for the vanu , but tr shouldnt whine. guess it was too easy for the tr in the past thats why they feel robbed even if its balanced.
on my server tr has more active players and still cry on this forum acting like they have less people than the vanu. somehow its funny^^.
anyway. we need more players , otherwise people wont stop crying for nerfs. pathetic

Very true .. If you our outnumbered 3 to 1 then ofc the other faction is going to seem OP .. But you don't nerf the weapons so you can kill 3 people per death , you give incentives etc to increase the population of the lowest faction's

This is a "don´t nerf NC" discussion. And I agree.
They should put the other empires as they were before the nerfs, not nerf the NC.

The game was balanced before. Now cleary it is not.

When NC as nobody to play against and the game dies you will see.

nc is winning on some servers because of numbers , not because they re imbalanced in terms of weapons etc. otherwise stats would be different.
anyway. people wont stop crying and im sure devs have all the stats and know that there is no reason to buff or nerf any faction. ps2 needs more players on vs and then its fine.

You guys are all idiots!

Does this factor in Faction Bonus EXP? I bet it does. Since TR is the lowest faction on a lot of servers, this would bump the score per hour.

of course you are correct in not nerfing/buffing faction weapons based on population but incentivising playing on the lower pop faction only works to a point... if the incentive is to much or even slightly to attractive than all you do it create a bigger problem as the great 4th faction hops back and forth trying to keep on the lower pop side... you still end up with the population as imbalanced or more imbalanced than now almost all the time... the only difference would be that which faction has more or less than the others will change more frequently

Code:

MAX:              NC > TR = VS
Engineer:        TR > VS > NC
Medic:            TR > VS > NC
Light Assault:    TR > VS = NC
Heavy Assault:    TR > NC > VS
Infiltrator:      TR > NC > VS
MBT:              TR > VS > NC
ESF:              VS = TR > NC

The VS ESF advantage might be worth something if ESFs in general weren't flying coffins for all but the upper crust of ESF pilots.

SPOILER: VS ESF has no advantage over TR

So the NC come in last 5 of eight times while the TR come in first 6 of 8 and thats ok..... Hi BCP!

Overpowered and whining!

Is that in reference to the NC Rebel? I've mentioned that I thought it was like the Halo CE pistol in a way, being a 2 shot kill to the head and all.

The only relevant data here is that they lost over half the playerbase in the last 2 month and the trend seems to be continuing.

wrong wrong wrong. NC are overpowered now. They can kill things.

Now put together the same graph for EU servers only.

Then the same graph for US servers only.

SPACE 'MERICA!

You people are sick with BF3 syndrome. Everything isn't created equal.

With some of the weapons that are in the game the factions nearly are.

NC tends to have the most powerful MAX, make sense. To be honest I wouldn't like it any other way. (but would like some doors or MAX obsticals to keep the MAX and softie balance a little better.)
TR tends to win more on the other infantry categories and on the Tank as well.
The VS wins in the air.
