Which Unlock would you choose?

Re: Which Unlock would you choose?

The DAO is useless for killing anybody more than a few feet away. Also, it is not fully automatic, you have to keep pressing the trigger in order to get off rapid shots.

I don't suggest you go for the M95 unlock as you do not appear to be experienced with sniping in BF2

The PKM may be more suitable a unlock for you as it has great long range accuracy, high damage and infinite ammunition. You also will get quite a few teamwork points per round if you drop a lot of ammo bags for your team

How long do you think it will take to get 500 global points. Meh i also am starting to ponder my first unlock. I love to play as a medic, and i also love to play as MEC assault. That AK pwns. But yeah Can you suggest some good guns. Pros and cons . i dont want to sound hypocritical but like i want others opinions.

thanks everyone.
PS: I love TOTALBF2. yay

Re: Which Unlock would you choose?

Personally, my best unlock has been the L85A1. I know people favour the G36E, but it's been a lifesaver for me many times. I only got it when 1.2 was released (well just before, but not long enough to notice the accuracy change). I mostly always use it in semi with the scope, and it's pretty much a mini sniper rifle. I can always land a few shots to the head, or if I'm in close range I can use it in full auto which is lethal. Poweful and accurate it may not be, but if you're fast you can land a few shots on the enemy before they come into a proper scoping range. And the best bit? Medics are the most self proficient class in the game. You get hit, you can heal yourself in a second or two. I'm not a stat padder, but medics certainly do give you an edge in bagging points and really dominating the battlefield.

Re: Which Unlock would you choose?

The short answer, pick the unlock for the kit you like to play the most. ALl those weapons are good. The DAO-12 will come in really handy though when capping those flags.

Re: Which Unlock would you choose?

oh em gee...I cant beleive you think the M24 is bad. If you think that gun has bad accuracy, then dont dont plan on sniping. Other than the 'cheap-but-fun' L69A1, M24 is by far the best weapon. It has a thin crosshair and it actually has probably one of the highests accuracy's. I would say go with the DAO, its very fun on karkand to blow away your opponents. PKM would be the next choice as of the new buff from 1.21, it will destroy anybody.

Re: Which Unlock would you choose?

DAO is definitely the most fun, and if you like playing AT a lot, it is a big improvement over the regular SMGs. The Jackhammer is also fun, but not a huge improvement over the stock shotguns. I also like the PKM, but the DAO is much more fun to use.

Re: Which Unlock would you choose?

The DAO does not have to be totally reloaded. You can switch to pistol then back again while you are reloading and use whatever you loaded so far....

Re: Which Unlock would you choose?

I'd probably go with the DAO.

Re: Which Unlock would you choose?

PKM is a great gun... but it all depends on which kit you do best with... dont unlock a gun if you suck at that kit (playing around with mods will help too)

Re: Which Unlock would you choose?

I play AT quite a bit and have to say I HATE the DAO It is damn near usless for people more then a few feet away. I still use the mp5 with better results.

I would say PKM its the best gun in BF2 right now. Hell you can snipe with the PKM better then you can the M95.

Re: Which Unlock would you choose?

pre 1.2 the DAO-12 was simply a bunnyhoppers wet dream.

Post 1.2- bunnyhopping is gone, so the DAO is 100% useless.

The PKM trumps the DAO in CQB, Trumps the SA sniper rifles in sniping, trumps the other support weapons in damage and accuracy.

the PKM is the ****, if you actually want to score points and move up in rank and awards.

I see no point in "testing" ones skill by using a crap gun and just getting killed by people using the easy weapons time in time out.

If you want to be a martyr use a P90, DAO, Jackhammer, Pistol, or Knife.

Re: Which Unlock would you choose?

^ How true about the PKM. But I do not want to chose the PKM with it's god-like powers if it could possibly end up being nerfed in a later patch.

For those of you saying I shouldn't snipe. You don't understand. I LOVE SNIPING!. Relaxing away from the battle, aiming at soldiers at flags... It is awesome. However, since I've started using the M24, I can barely kill anyone. It isn't my aim. I am actually hitting these people, they just don't die. Only with a headshot while an enemy player is still do I get a kill. I can lead a target OK I guess, and I know when I hit them. I guess that the M24's damage is crap. But, as I said, I love to snipe. I guess I judged all of the sniper rifles based on the M24.

Re: Which Unlock would you choose?

the M95 crosshairs are WAY too think. Makes head shot very difficult.
Then new sniper rifle is awesome

the dao is not 100% useless. I've pawned many PKM users with the DAO on karkand. the only area where it is weak is the long range, but short to medium range say 15 feet and down, and it's my DAO's show.

sure, you have to click it, but if you can't click that fast, don't ever bother pulling the pistol in a gun fight. I can go through all 12 rounds in under 4 seconds. That means you have, maybe 1-2 seconds to kill me or there's dust flying around you're lifeless body like the assault smoke grenade can do.

if you're anti-tank, get the dao. If you want to do more support, get he pkm, I used it alot even before it got boosted and I wouldn't hold my breath for another patch. so, for you, I recommend this priority: DAO or PKM, then the one that lost the first time, then M95.

also, don't stop being anti-tank. You have no idea how frustriating it is when all the ppl who were medic or support, become anti-tank when a tank guns them down. maybe if they saw more of us permanent anti-tank guys around killing the tanks they would stay medic or support and help us. I hate it when there's no medics around or they're bunched up. I hate having to be the medic because noone wants to heal me or the guys near me. But that's another topic.

You have to understand that the M24 isn't an AWP CS style, think of it more as the Scout if you will... if you haven't played CS then forget the above comparison. :P

It's damage is actually quite good, it, it's the 2nd most powerful rifle in the game after the M95. For torso shots it is 95HP against unarmored targets and 65HP against armored targets.

In comparison, the M95 ignores body armor and deals 95HP damage to all infantry classes. It also deals more damage to vehicles and helicopters, 1 clip from an M95 will be enough to get a full health chopper smoking. It's also the only gun in the game that penetrates cockpit glass, though the actual chances of taking out a moving chopper pilot are slim. It's mainly to pick off pilots as they prepare to take off at their airfield/helipad.

The M95's main disadvantages are it's thick crosshairs, making long distance sniping more difficult, plus it's also very loud, easily giving away your position to nearby enemies. It's also less accurate than the M24.
