Re: g3 or dao unlock

I never suggested a weapon that is useless at close distance like a sniper rifle. A standard XM-177E2 would be just fine.

i wasnt trying to imply that you suggested a sniper weapon as the anti-tank unlock. i was trying to illustrate what happens when you have a distance class with a distance weapon unlock. IE: they suck at CQC.

Sniper = Distance
Engineer = Close

the remaining 5 are a bit more rounded.
the combo's work fine.

i dont exactly know what a standard XM-177E2 is... but im sure it makes no difference. EA would undoubtably misrepresent the weapon in favor of game ballance (as they should), and we'd still hear whining, similar to the M95's "lack of realistic damage", that comes up from time to time.

next time please, DLWebmaestro96, edit your posts rather then repost

Re: g3 or dao unlock

the problem witht he DAO-12 is that its a shotgun and sprays 12 little balls of terror doing 12 damage each.
. . .
the DAO-12 is absolutely a better gun for CQC

Actually it's 8 pellets of 12 damage each.

DAO-12 is a much bigger upgrade than G3. The only time G3 would make sense is if you mostly play USA and don't care about losing the GL (or actually prefer hand grenades). G3 is a very minor improvement over the AK101 and even less over the AK47.

What I don't understand about the DAO...

The AT class is mainly a long-range class, since you want to engage armor from a distance. Yet, the unlock (and even the stock SMG) are close-in weapons. Can I get a WTF?

Makes sense to me - adding the short range weapon rounds out the class' capabilities. Consider it the inverse of the Spec Ops...

Anti-Tank: Long range anti-armor, short range anti-infantry
Spec Ops: Long range anti-infantry, short range anti-armor

Frankly, if you want to feel bad for someone, feel bad for us Engineers (the real ones, not the ones who drive tanks/jets) - we have short range everything.

Absolutely agree with everything said, except there are exceptions for those skilled. If you're great with the AT missile, you could guide it to infantary at long distance, if you're skilled with at the moment C4 death trapping, then, Spec OPs is also good.

Initially I missed the GL, but now I prefer grenades. Much more versatility to the way you can throw them, I can put one just about anywhere I want it.... :)

This is true, of course. Playing engineer a lot means becoming good at pistol sniping, too.

Re: g3 or dao unlock

I got the G3 because I didn't like the 3 round burst of the US guns, but I really wish I had unlocked the DAO-12. My G3 just doesn't get used much. I've learned to deal with the burst mode and really enjoy using the gernade launcher. Sometimes the hand gerandes are a nice option but couple the G3 with a 20 round clip and you just aren't deadly enough. The DAO-12, which I use a lot (everytime my clan mate dies, lol) is a much better stopper. Of course the shotgun does jack at medium to long range but that's what the rockets are for . And in urban maps (my favorite) the DAO can really clear a street.

Go find a global unlocks server. I wish I had the G3 unlocked :)
Its worth it though, it is a good gun.

Re: g3 or dao unlock

I got both... I'm happy with both.. but G3 has longer range but is also deadly on low-med range :P DAO 12 looses all effectives on longer ranges :P but kicks butt on low ranges as long as you remember to fire enough ^_^ I usually forget to fire enough so I end up geting killed by a very ****ed off foe If you master G3 you can drop your enemy with 1 to 3 hits :P With DAO its like 1 to 5 lower on Engineers,medics, snipers & spec-ops
