Next (Second) Unlock? SA80 / M95 / DAO12?

[POWER]

I already have the G36 and I really like it. The thing is, I'm almost ready for gun #2, and I'm kind of split as to what to get. I don't play medic that much, as the M16 just doesn't stand up to the other guns as well, so unless I'm vehicle whoring, I stay out of the Med. class.

I was thinking the SA80 would be a good unlock cause then I could be a more effective Medic, but how good is the gun in medium distance firefights? Is it accurate enough to take advantage of the scope? Also, how much magnification is the scope? Is it worth it?

I was also thinking about the DAO12. I think the AT SMGs are pretty weak, and I'd like to have a decent gun that could actually stand up to the other classes, if only at short range. How is the DAO12?

And the M95, well, I've been getting sniped out of BHs lately by the M95, so I know it's possible. So now I'm also seriously considering this as well. Especially since I tend to snipe a lot. I move around a lot and spot for the commander and the arty and stuff, but I want to be able to cap drivers inside vehicles and helos and stuff.

So many good choices. Any suggestions?

M95. It's so fun sniping those lame ass vehicle whores lol.

PKM is the best unlock of all, though. Luckily, I got it first.

SA?

The l85 is the medic unlock...and its quite good when proned. You cant really spray with it though.

Agreed. I unlocked the PKM first, which is my favorite. I love that gun. And then I unlocked the DAO at corp.. Definitely an upgrade to the standard AT SMG. So I'm glad I got those, considering I normally play support, but go AT once in a while if there's a tank camping a flag/base that needs to die.

I played with the Medic unlock.. Hmm. pretty accurate gun, and it looks cool walking with it. But I can't say it's that much of an upgrade. It would be more of a "fun" type of upgrade. If I always played medic I would get it. The assault, well, hate to admit it but if I'm playing assault I'm going to whore the grenade launcher, and you can't do that with the unlock. Spec ops and engineer unlocks are no-go for me.. They are pretty good as they are IMO.

I think I'm getting the M95 next just for the fun of it if I want to hop in a server and just annoy some plane campers. Heh. Lot of people doing that lately with M95's it seems...

The DAO is mad fun, with one drawback. The range. This seems a no-brainer but you gotta adept your playingstyle to running up close (where it's dangerous) and spamming them to death. Learn to control your recoil and the DAO is a beast. Proned and controlled fire only works at medium range, and the enemy dies a lot slower than with any other kit, so unless he's retarded they spot you before you kill them and you die. Still, the DAO was my #1 unlock, because I am a dedicated AT and the submachinegun is the worst gun of all.

The AT class is fun, the rocket is fun too, required some skill and has just about the perfect balance.

The medic gun is an SA80 if you guys didnt know
or maybe its different

[P3teR]

Well each unlock really only you can decide because it's you who are going to be stuck with it for a long time till next unlock so if you want points go for medic but if you just want to take it easy and get few kills and very little deaths then go for M95.

I have the DAO and the L85. I use the DAO a lot more than I use the L85 as far as unlockable weapons go. I don't know if I haven't gotten used to the L85 but I'm not a big fan. When I go medic I usually use the M16 or the AK...I think they are better than the medic gun as far as power. It takes too many rounds with L85 to drop someone.

If you can adjust your style of play to being able to lure people close enough to you to use the DAO I would definitely get it. I've take our 4 people with one mag with tha thing...you wont do that with the L85.

PKM but depends on what u play as the most

[KHAN]

I've unlocked the L85 on my account and the G36 on my other account... Both guns are similar though the L85 does less damage the scope is excellent you can take down a guy with 2 shots over half the map and I often get more kills than snipers in the same positions. Not so powerfull at close range as the G36 but good enough... and you've got health packs too which is a good bonus

Don't get the medic unlock, it's not really worth it. The M16 is just as accurate, the AK101 is better in general terms. There's really no reason to get it, unless you want a pretty scope. The DAO-12 is a great gun for close encounters, and the M95 is not much of an upgrade over the M24.

I was thinking about using the SA80 (L85) as a sort of poor man's sniper rifle, and trying to get head shots. Will it work pretty well for that?
