    So we tried most of the unlocks: Post your reviews for each gun

    So basically the majority of the people have tried most or all unlocks by now. Now we can possibly comment on every gun after the patch. What are your favorite unlocks and least favorite unlocks and why.

    Favorites:

    G36c: The must have gun for the noobs. This gun is the most have gun, for anyone actually, in the game in my opinion. Its so good that its almost cheating. First of all this gun has little to no re-coil at all PLUS its powerful. So basically you can kill anyone just by holding down the fire button from close/medium range and you would think it should be bad at long range but NO. I've played with this gun for awhile and it sometimes amazes me on how easy it is to get people from thousands of yards away with a few bursts or single shots.

    G3: The elitest gun. While this gun takes a little gettin used to since its usage style is very different from other rifles, once you get used to it, its a very deadly high effective rifle. This gun exceeds at long/medium range and is deadly at close range. I see myself Picking people off left and right just by taping the mouse button 2-3 times. A usual scenario of me using the G3 would be like this: Tap-Tap-Tap (dead) Tap-Tap (dead) Tap-Tap-Tap (dead). The most effective gun when there are groups of people around at medium long range in a staionary position. Remember, this gun is mainly supposed to be used using semi-auto but do not run around with it in that mode since you will get owned in close range with it on.

    Nuetral

    M95: Great upgrade sniper to MEC and definetely China. Feels sluggish compared to the M24 and like someone said before, same damage as the M24 but less acurate. The plus side? the feeling you get when a attack heli is hovering and firing at you when you take a shot thru the window and see it spiraling upwards into the clouds or shooting jet pilots while they wait for its boosters to take off

    PKM: Although it may be not THAT much of an upgrade against its predecessors with a aim site that takes getting used to, it is deadly powerful and is another way to take down helis and light vehicles other than your SRAW.

    Jackhammer: Great automatic shotty for close range superiority. I would put this weapin up there in my favorites but i didnt get enough play time to really back up my statements. Anything close range is dead.

    DAO-12: Just like the Jackhammer, grat at close range. The only thing i didnt like about this gun is the awful recoil. Sometimes while fighting close range you tend to shoot very fast and this thing goes all over the place. In my opinion, the Jackhammer is the better close range toy. The only thing holding me back from putting this gun in my least favorite is that is sounds amazing (if that means anything) and its way better than the damn Mp5 so it's actually an "UPGRADE"

    Least Favorite

    L85a1: I dont know why but everyone worships this gun. In my opinion, its the worst upgrade you can get. Not a bad gun overall but the M16, AK-101, and AK-47 are far more superior guns. First of all, maybe im comparing this too much with the G36c. While the L85a1 may have good long range accuracy, in those close range fights where you have to go full-auto, the bullets go all over the place like its a support weapon. Compare this gun with the regular medic guns you get. M16, very good at all ranges and very predictable recoil. AK-101, one of the most damaging guns in the game and deadly at close/medium range and holds its own at long range. AK-47, full auto destructive mayhem. I bet you anything that if the L85a1 was the regular medic gun and the regular medic guns were the real upgrades you will see everyone using the latter.



    well i never believed i would write all this when i started the thread but here ya go. my reviews for each gun from all my experience playing BF2. I hope this helps out anyone deciding on which unlock they want to choose.

      L85A1 is all about the way you play. I personally love it, but then I avoid fights at close range. If you're trading rounds with the enemy at close range, you've made a tactical error already. Kill from range unseen. It's a great counter sniper. You get knocked down to 10% life by a sniper, relocate, heal up, then spot him with scope and pick him off with a hail of rounds. Works well for me. I've tried the same style of play with the M16, it does shine at medium range, but just does not have the ability to hit at the extreme long range.

      PKM isn't bad, but the RPK-74 support weapon has equal accuracy, higher rate of fire and only a slight decrease in per shot damage. I prefer it to the PKM. PKM is nice though if you can't get the RPK-74.

      The rest I agree with.

        Re: So we tried most of the unlocks: Post your reviews for each gun

        G36c:
        Accuracy Overall: Good

        Long:medium/good
        Medium: Good
        Short: Good

        Power: Medium (makes up for it with accuracy)

        Mag compacity: It's enough to kill 1-4 people easily before reloading

        Reload time: Short enough to duck and run in a fire fight and be ready when they come at you

        Subjective view: Very good all round gun, no real disadvantages of it.

        G3:
        Accuracy Overall: Good

        Long: Good
        Medium: excellent
        Short: Medium (not really enough ammo for close range fighting)

        Power: High

        Mag compacity: 20, Good for medium and long range not do good for short.

        Reload time: Pretty quick, but needs to be with the amount of ammo per mag

        Subjective view: Its a very good gun and i like it alot, however i don't think it will be so good on close range maps like karkand

        PKM:
        Accuracy overall: Medium

        Long: Low
        Medium: Medium
        Short: Good

        Power: Good (but let down by the accuracy)

        Mag compacity: 100, could be more but with the slow rate of fire you get enough bullets to take out a few

        Reload time: long, Don't try and do it in a battle make sure you have a full case before you begin.

        Subjective view: I'm not that much of a fan of this gun as i thought i would be, its not as accurate as i was hoping and some of the other non-unlock guns are far better.

        Jackhammer:
        Accuracy overall: medium/low

        Long: None
        Medium: Medium/low
        Short: High

        Power: Good (at the right range)

        Mag compacity: 8, it has a high fire rate as well.

        Reload time: Medium, good compare to some of the shotguns however you can't reload one shot at a time.

        Subjective view: A good gun, but it is a specilised gun for short range, or for skilled steath player who can get up close before shooting, better than all the other shotguns, however you have to remember it is a shotgun, so don't go out sniping.

        L85a1:
        Accuracy Overall: Good

        Long: Medium
        Medium: Excellent
        Short: Good

        Power: Good

        Mag compacity: 30, good for all jobs can kill 2-3 players easily before reloading

        Reload time: Medium/Fast, Fast enough to hide and reload in a battle.

        Subjective view: I like this gun alot especially at medium to long range as of the single shot accuarcy, at short range on auto it seems to be a little under powered and has alot of deviation if you try and spray and pray.

        I haven't got the other guns yet so i'm not going to write about them.

          Good post so far, but I had 4 of the 7 unlocks b4 patch so Ive used most anyway , but my favorites are the g36c, pkm, and g3 due to the fact all are weapons that can be used in more or less all maps effectivly. The l8 is a good gun but I like the m16a2 more just because it is better close up and just the same at range if not better depending how you use it. The pkm was very good before the patch and now is overpowered so I love it

            the G36c has really suprised me.

            I was playing Fushe Pass and rolled up to a flag in a busted APC so I needed to bail. When I got out there were 3 guys on a platform and I thought I saw another one underneath the walkway. I ended up taking all of them out (5 total I think, there ended up being 2 underneath) and was like "HOLY S***!!! did that really just happen"

            Great Gun!!

            As for the others, the Medic unlock is pretty cool but I still need to work with it. Sniper is meh (stick with M24) and the others are just different looking and that's all I can tell.

            Oh yeah, the G3 is a real good knock down weapon. Very strong but you need to learn to use it properly with the limited clip size.

              Re: So we tried most of the unlocks: Post your reviews for each gun

              they need to make some more guns, i mean i have almost every unlock (just not the anti-tank) and i can say i dont use 2/3 of them... i mean and now that its so easy to get them, they are going to get warn out and tired especially when they arnt 'better' then the regular guns... The sniper rifle would be the only really good upgrade if it was 1 shot kill, but that still not going to happen, but w/e im trying to stay hopefull for the expansion.

                  Re: So we tried most of the unlocks: Post your reviews for each gun

                  Im going to unlock the G36c next because i keep getting owned by it..

                  The DAO-12 kicks major ass close up, as long as you controll the recoil everythin in your crosshairs is dead, ive wasted complete squads with it. But its range is about 5 meters, which sucks.

                  G3, im kinda dissapointed, but i think i need more practise. Its pretty good at medium/close, using singleshot/burst. But at long range i still get wasted by the G3c and every AK out there.

                    Re: So we tried most of the unlocks: Post your reviews for each gun

                    I unlocked the g36c and the l84a1 (or something)

                    and i was amazed at how easy i picked of people at medium range with the medic gun.. man ik love this thing. just so damn accurate at medium range.
                    But I lost more close quarter fights then usual (normally playing assault).

                    overall, im happy

                      Jackhammer utter shíte.
                      DAO-12 just as shíte.
                      PKM shíte as well.
                      M95 sucks.
                      G3 is okay.
                      L85 is good.
                      G36C is excellent.

                        well i never believed i would write all this when i started the thread but here ya go. my reviews for each gun from all my experience playing BF2. I hope this helps out anyone deciding on which unlock they want to choose.
                        I am pretty much in total agreement with you on this. My Current favs are:

                        Favs:
                        G36C - First unlock and still my all time fav. Coupled with C4 and nades it really is a joy to use. Strafting and firing actually hit people, plus it can snipe (somewhat) if needed.

                        G3 - Totally hated this gun when I first got it. However only having 20 rounds has really taught be to pick my targets, dodge more, and stick with my teammates. It has insane power when used correctly. Very nice little sniper rifle too...

                        DAO-12 - It has its lamer moments but over all a good weapon. The Mp5 is a joke of a gun for me, so if I am AT i have to take my DAO-12. Add the SMAW (Read AT/Inf Sniping Weapon) and this kit really shines.

                        Nuetral
                        M95 - The only reason to take this over the M24 is for the off chance you need to snipe someone out of a heli, or your not on the USMC team.

                        PKM - Its not the guns fault... all heavy MG's are eternally screwed in BF2. Cone of fire does not work DICE... get that though your head.

                        Jackhammer - Personally I play At more than Eng. Just a play style. I prefer less TK's from mines and the ability to shoot and hide with the SMAW. Plus you can snipe quite well with the SMAW. I only take Engineer if my clanmates are playing and need repair support for armor.

                        Not less favorite... Down right HATED:
                        L85A1 - I swear this is a Airsoft gun. The AK101 is less accurate by nature however 9 times out of 10 I can spray and pray with a Ak101 and hit or even kill someone. The L85A1 hits them but does nothing. Semi fire / Single Shot the AK101/M16A2 are way better. The only reason to take this gun is if you have to have full automatic. You might as well use your pistol, I swear its more powerfull than the L85.

                          Unlocked G36C, PKM, DAO-12 last night. DAO is just a beast on Karkand, hands down (especially if you have mastered the rocket snipe). Everybody raves about G36C, and while I like the feel of it, I haven't played it enough to master it. Same thing with PKM. It has alot of potential but you gotta reign that beast in. Seems difficult to make work with Karkand, most targets seem either too close or too far.

                          Will be unlocking G3 once I hit Gunny Sgt.
