I made this little study to figure out if the new SF unlocks worth it or not, and if so then what are the best unlocks.
I extracted this info from the game's files, if you ask. Since I am a casual player I wanted to know if paying the money and spending the time to get new unlocks will worth it.
I did not compare every single weapon because it takes a lot of time to do that, but the list below should be enough.
The chart is now updated to reflect the changes after patch 1.2
Now here is what I found:
Support's Kit:
The winner is the PKM. The new MG36 has a very similar accuracy. PKM has a higher damage but lower fire rate. So the two weapons basically take the same amount of time to kill a healthy target. Now how the weapon feels in your hand is a different story. Remember that those numbers are the true story. every weapon becomes a good weapon when you get used to it. if you can get used to the PKM then it is the absolute winner. Why pay more money and try to get ranks/unlocks again if the two weapons are effectively the same?!
Engineer's Kit:
Does not the MP7 remind you with the stupid MP5 that comes with the Anti Tank?! I included it for the sake of comparison. Look at the chart! is not the MP5 and the MP7 are basically full auto pistols?! The pistol has a higher accuracy when zoomed. The shotgun MK3A1 is one shot one kill weapon if you aim right, otherwise you will need two shots (my experience). If you run into a fact-to-fact combat with any other kit then you are dead, if your enemy is fully healthy. MP7 is obviously worthless.
Special Ops Kit:
All weapons take the same time/number of bullets to kill. G36C has the best accuracy. Why get the SCAR-L? I do not see any good reason. G36C is the winner!
Assault's Kit:
All weapons take the same time to kill a healthy target. if the M16A2 did not have the problem of shooting only 3 bullets at a time then it will be the clear winner. F2000 has a slight accuracy advantage over the others. If you like the grenade launcher then the F2000 is the clear winner for you. if you like the hand grenades like me then the G3 is the clear winner for you. Actually if you play MEC or China then F2000 won't give you that advantage. AK-47 has a similar accuracy and higher damage. So the result: F2000 does not give you that big advantage.
Medic's Kit:
AK-47 is the best obviously. it has the highest damage and a good accuracy. L85A1 is not that good and I still do not understand why many people are exited about it. In all of the medic's weapons, G36E has the best accuracy, but not the highest damage. Note that because of the different frequencies of fire then they all turn out to have the same damage effectively. Since the G36E has the highest accuracy then it will be the winner! I personally do not play a medic so I do not care a bit about that weapon.
Conclusion: if you want to get a good assault's weapon and have a grenade launcher then go and buy BF:SF and unlock that one (worth the money?!). otherwise, BF2 unlocks/defaults are much better. If you are buying BF:SF to get new unlocks for BF2 then you are wasting your money. If you are not buying SF to play new maps then forget about it.
