Which unlock would you choose ?

[UKseagull]

I've got the option for an unlock but which to choose ? I've played a mix of kits and don't really have a preference.

DAO-12

MK3A1

G36C

PKM

[Rugerdog]

DAO or g36. Forget the PKM and jackhammer for now, especially the latter. Can't really go wrong with one of the first two.

[Noble Rotter]

Personnally I'd go for the PKM as it'll give you a very powerful LMG for USMC and PLA if you play Support a lot. Otherwise definitely the DAO-12 because the default weapons for Anti-Tank kits are weak, though the MEC PP-19 is OK-ish due to it's bigger magazine.

The G36C is probably the best weapon for Spec-Ops, but the MK3A1 Jackhammer is kinda rubbish since the default shotties (especially the USMC one) for Engineers are quite good.

[Rugerdog]

The PKM has good power, but the rate of fire makes it weaker than the other MGs in close quarters, where I prefer to work with the LMGs most of the time. Along with the DAO its more suited to a certain playstyle that is different than the defaults. IMO just don't get the jackhammer now. It's only good as a way to branch up to the mp7.

Get the G36 if you play medic like me.

He's not talking about second tier unlocks. The G36C is what he's looking at, it's the first unlock for spec ops.
Personally, I like the standard weapons for engineer and spec ops. I prefer the RPK to the PKM. I like the PKM over the SAW, though. I think the DAO smokes the standard AT weapons, though. So if you're looking for a weapon that will provide a good gain over the default, I'd go with DAO.

I always unlock the guns for classes I don't regularly play. This may sound backwards, but when I do have to switch to Spec ops, I don't want to be left with the Chinese CQZ or whatever model it is. Same goes for AT class, I like knowing the Dao will serve my purpose of staying alive in CQC whilst I try and nail the tank or jeep.

If I play something like Medic or Assault the stock weapon is good enough because you've spent time knowing how to fire the wily AKs or to time your burst shots for the M16.


My most used class is Engineer and I usually use the stock shotgun.

[AndrewCP]

Special Ops is my favorite so I'm gonna have to go with G36C. It's a good weapon too.

PKM gets my vote everytime.....

It was one of the guns I unlocked last but I wish it had been my very first....

It has a humoungous amount of bullets in its magazines (and when u run out u can just re-arm yourself)

It is has high damage in addition to rapid fire rate....

It is the one gun where you can find yourself involved in face off with 3 other guys and kill them all whilst surviving. With other guns you will run out of ammo and/or they are not as powerful.

I used to play sniper all the time when I first started playing....However, I find I get a massive increase in long distance kills by simply playing sniper tactics, but as Support with PKM and infinite ammo. Yes, it is an unusual feature of BF2 that a heavy machine gun is far more proficient at long distance kills than specialist sniper rifles.

in otherwords, PKM is an over powered dispenser of death.

Its only weakness is that u got to fire it in prone position....even crouching gives much less accuracy.......and firing whilst standing may be done in a last ditch panic....but really shouldnt be done at all.

I think the DAO smokes the standard AT weapons, though. So if you're looking for a weapon that will provide a good gain over the default, I'd go with DAO.

yeah, but DAO is only good for certain levels in certain situations.......i.e. narrow corridors at close range.....nothing worse than spotting easy kill u could take down with even the most lame machine gun only to find yourself blasting away in vain with the DAO.

That's what the toob or pistol are for. Anything outside of DAO range gets some rockets or pistol. The pistol is actually pretty good if you know how to use it. Since I've been using AT and sniper a lot more lately, I've been using the pistol a lot more to compensate for shortcomings in long range for the DAO and med/short range with the bolt action rifles. If you bind a different key to shoot, you can really rapid-fire the DAO and pistol. I had people accusing me of using a macro the other night. With the pistols' low deviation, I've finished off people at up to 400m with body shots after a near-miss with an Eryx or SRAW.

I'd select DAO. It's fun to play with.

Naw.......I have fired about 5-6 shots into the enenmies head with the pistol before and he has still lived to turn around and wipe me out.....Eryx can be good for long range kills but only if infantry targets are stationary

I'd select DAO. It's fun to play with.

Yeah...it is fun to play with.......but perhaps the Engineers jackhammer is even more fun, and fully automatic as well.

What are you taling about?? The missiles is guided. All you have to do is to keep the crosshair on your target. It wont get any easier than that

Anyways, PKM FTW

[DOGGiE52]

The PKM is like a sniper rifle with loads more shots. Choose it.

it's a machine gun

see last statement

uh same thing again

Yes, it is an unusual feature of BF2 that a heavy machine gun is far more proficient at long distance kills than specialist sniper rifles.
you must be a pretty bad sniper, sure I've headshotted a guy from 300m with one shot of the PKM, but that is more luck than anything with the cone of fire
in otherwords, PKM is an over powered dispenser of death.
pretty good gun in my opinion, but not like a g36e or anything in terms of being overpowered, L85 FTW
Its only weakness is that u got to fire it in prone position....even crouching gives much less accuracy.......and firing whilst standing may be done in a last ditch panic....but really shouldnt be done at all.

that's what the AT rocket is good for, but I use the p90 over DAO anyway
