Hardest class without unlock?

[AvalancheDiode]

I started another solder, so I play without unlocks. I think the hardest class without unlock is, err, recon. The stock rifle is awesome if you have 3x unlock. If you don't, LMG can out-shoot you half of the time. While some are extremely good snipers, I'm not one of them, and I don't blame my very crappy HP mouse that freezes movement ocassionally. Yes, I suck at sniping, there I said it, but last round I played recon with only RDX unlock I still managed to get one infiltrator pin. If I have had not all my personal unlock, then I wouldn't be able to get all the knife kills, which is more than rifle kills. It makes me wonder how a dedicated recon player will come through initially without getting slaughtered? Once APM and RDX are unlocked, things changed in favor of recon, but that's another story.

Assault is probably the easiest to play without unlock. One only needs to learn crouch, scope and shoot in burst to win half of the engagement, and then heals himself. Support is a bit harder, but if one has grenade unlock, that's another story. Some people thinks engineer is hard, but in fact the pea shooters and the one-shot-kill rockets are very deadly if used right. SMGs are the best run-gun in this game.

Newbies will usually get slaughtered no matter what class they prefer, so this thread is probably not very useful for newbies.

BTW, recently I gradually grow a hatred towards people carrying Clark. It means that they also have man scanners and know someone's on their back. I lost count how many times I sneaked to their back and only got 180 turn panic shotgun slug in my face. In this respect, Ghost and Herzog start to make sense.

recon, you have the least stuff.

Rifle
Pistol
Knife


and the zoom sucks with out the zoom unlock

[AllFoamNoBeer]

Recon or Engie.

[xslaneyx]

id be swayed to say engie but even support for me as im no good at times with the support weapons.

[Drewsly]

I never use the zoom unlock when i am goin sniper so i would say engi is the hardest kit to use without any unlocks.

Definatley recon, it was difficult with no zoom etc.However as u get more experienced with recon you are able to caluclate the sway of the rifle which makes it a lot easier :) I only play recon, with some support and am looking for a clan :)

But id say engineer

[BandoIruka]

All kits are crappy without the general infantry upgrades to me.

Recon No doubt..
3Weapons.. And in this game with al the vossNoobs you won't stand a second in the battlefield with your pistol. And without the scope are the snipers usseless... And the knife... Owell. If you learn it you can be pro at it.. But i strongly think you dont shout fight with that kit without unlocks..

[Lunien]

Hm...having actually played a recon from the very beginning till like the last few ranks (Took me forever to get to brig.) I'd say that recon is pretty hard simply because of the lack of zoom. After that it gets fine...but before you get that zoom, better learn how to hide, because if anyone else sees you, you're as good as dead.

Apart from recon, I'd say support is hardest for me...I can't quite get the grip of the LMGs...not my playstyle to prone and lay suppressive fire - that's just asking to be sniped.

Assault is easy - the stock guns are pretty much the equal of the unlocks (I'm loving the Scar more and more than the Baur >.>) Engineer...a bit lacking I guess, 6 missiles is kinda little if you're alive for an extended period of time. But the SMGs make up for it a lot.

[RichardDawkins]

blatantly recon, although why you would play that without having first earned the unlocks with medic is beyond me

[Vegas]

Maybe he dont like medic, That you MAYBE love it is something else Mate :)

[iQue]

I love the LMGs and can't play well with anything else anymore haha

Nah, I'd say recon too. Although it's sorta good to have no zoom when you're a beginner, cause then you learn to find hiding spots and not standing in the open that everyone seems to do :p

[WolfAlmighty]

I think Recon would be the unanimous choice, with Engineer being a rather distant second. Although I've had engineer as my most played kit pretty much since the beginning and didn't unlock anything for it until just recently. But yeah, recon without APMs, RDX, the 4x scope, or at least the Lambert so you don't have to use the sniper rifles, is a severely gimped kit. At least assault and support have decent starting weapons and have their medkits/supply hubs. Recon without their toys is just cannon fodder. :hmm:

[jake_]

Recon for sure.

[Fingulfin]

Recon fo sho.

Engi is rather easy, you have a SMG (Mini Voss) to protect you... Not the mention the stock missile launchers, which are anti-infantry BEASTS :p
