Narrative:

I was pm (pilot monitoring); sometime between V1 and vr; we heard an extremely loud bang; with the aircraft violently dipping and pulling right. At first it seemed as though we had a nose gear tire blow or nose gear failure; but it became apparent that engine two was surging and stalling. The engine continued to stall and surge during climbout with loud bangs each time. I contacted ATC; advised them of our intent. After cleanup of the aircraft; we followed standard non normal procedures with the captain giving me control of the aircraft while he ran the checklists. The outcome of the checklists was engine number 2 running at idle; stable. Only idle thrust was available; as when we slowly brought up the thrust; the engine immediately began to surge again. We were slightly overweight for landing; but we both agreed that a flaps 3 landing with only one engine producing full thrust was a better option than flaps full as stated in the overweight checklist. We landed with no further incident.
