With the help of =FDX=Vega helping me get towards some goals that I alwyas wanted and getting out of my noobness (I feel I am great player now), I was able to siginifically boost my score to a Sgt. Yesterday and now it is unlocking time. Since getting to 5000 would take a long time, this unlock should count for something big. I have already decided that one of my unlocks would go to the G36E big time (don't even think me out of this one) but I still haven't decided which one to get for my other unlock??? I am starting to like sniper, but I dunno if the M95 would be used regularly, or DAO since I barely be an AT, I was aming for the G3 but I a really not sure which one to get. This would also affect the two more unlocks I would get once patch 1.2 comes out.

Please help me, thanks. I also now starting to become better so I feel welcomed as a veteran.

Thanks and please choose wisely, don't vote for kicks or no thinking.

What the hell is the G3a3.

I've never heard of that gun. Anyway, go for DAO-12. It's not a surprize that you don't play as AT, because the SMG's suck. The DAO-12 makes AT's feared on maps like karkand.

lol. I used to think 5000 points was alot, then I saw the First Sergeant requirements when I became Gunnery Sergeant. 20,000?? Jeez...

SO many topics on this. Why don't you wait until the patch comes out then write another post.

But all in all unlock the G3, hence you dont' play AT at all, and the sniper -- unless you are something other than USMC don't get it, the M24 does the same; unless you want to rant and rave how much you take choppers down by shooting through the glass that took you one trillion times to get. So that answers you question. Another reason you get the F2000(GL) with the overrated flashbangs that are rarely used (right).
G3 is underrated IMO. In SF the G3 is the choice of weapon in CQC(in BF2 also). I have good exp. with the G3 also, but too many Launchers sometimes makes you want to have a Launcher yourself.

Well G3A3 is the real name for the G3 thank you and DAO is a good gun if you play AT, which I don't mind or the M95, but really it is tyour decision what is a suitable gun to have in this kind of level.

M95, DAO, G3 .... decisions decisions...

Personally the M95 is my favorite sniper rifle (I also know that the majority of the people that post seem to hate it). If you don't like bolt action weapons then I wouldn't recomend it. Against infantry the USMC sniper rifle is actually more effective because of its smaller cross hairs and superior accuract (M95 accuracy is going to be "adjusted" in the next patch but with EA it could go up or down.). If you absolutely hate the semi-auto sniper rifles the MEC and PLA have then you may want the M95 just to have a bolt action rifle.
(The M95 can shoot people out of airborne choppers but usually it is more luck than skill)

I don't have the DAO but I did use it all of the time during the demo. From experience I can tell you that the DAO is in a completly differnt league than the wimpy submachine guns AT gets by default. Usually I don't play as AT (the reason I don't have it) but now I always seem to be on the team that gets spawn camped and I find myself wishing I had the DAO to back up the SRAW/ERYX. (THe DAO is deffinitely gonna be one of my next unlocks)

As for the G3...I never liked the G3. It is less accurate (until you have fired several rounds, after that it is more accurate than the other assault guns...but I want my first shot to be accurate not my 3rd or 4th).
My friend has the G3 and the only reason he has it is because he needs it for the F2000. If you like the F2000 then you might want to get the G3 so you don't have to unlock it later. I probably hate the G3 so much because I could never hit anything with it. Some people (people other than me) are good with the G3, if you are good with the G3 it is a devastating weapon.

My favorite is the M95 but you will probably get the biggest value from your unlock if you get the DAO.

so for all of you who skipped through my overview of the 3 weapons ....

MY VOTE IS FOR THE DAO

Unlock the one you play the most . After that unlock the one you play as your second kit and so on and so on untill you have them all.
That would be the best thing to do. If your not going to play as sniper very often than unlock that one last.

You can take your DAO on Non-Close Quarters and people will kill you with the G3, it's that simple. I see this numerous times without any luck with the people carrying the weapon, but once they get to the 'chokepoint' the DAO is devastating, but they have to get there in close range. But you can hit a person with the SRAW/ERYX by 'sniping' with it at long ranges. Don't take a shotgun if you plan on traveling far without mates.

The G3 is a great gun but it runs out of ammo very quickly. For me itd be the the Dao but i play assault/ Spec ops. Shotguns are good (used to play engi) and the Dao 12 is the best of the lot

G3 sucks, pick the g36e if you have SF. if you dont, pick the PKM.

or wait for the new patch and pick either the p90 or l96a1

It doesnt matter which weapon you pick, because this is a vehicle whoring game.

I guess the DAO would be the choice. Once the 1.2 Patch comes than I will either unlock the M95 with L69A1 or G3 with F2000, Once I get there, I would come back. Thank you for all your cosiderations.

Its just because the DAO is a humangus improvement towards the default weapon.
Go DAO!

I messed up unlocking my kits when I bought SF and hit Sgt. I know this probably makes me a moron - but I play Medic almost exclusively. I really like it. The first medic upgrade gun - I hate. I thoght I had more unlocks coming at Sgt and SF - and I unlocked the Assault upgrade and the SF Assault upgrade. Maybe I do - I've only played SF ranked one time. I wonder if I play it again - I get another unlock.

When I play assault (rarely) I love the F2000.....However - 90% of my time as medic - I'm running around w/ the base gun. Hell - I have almost as many team points as combat.....Have any of you unlocked the SF medic gun? The G-36-E. I'm thinking that is my next.

I'm probably a couple weeks out on another unlock....but I'd love to hear the input.

I have the upgrade sniper, both assaults and the one medic upgrade.

http://bf2s.com/player/59311137/

I'd love to read up on the new guns coming and what we believe will be available when the next expansion pack is purchased....anybody have a link?

My first post - I've been reading for quite some time. Great site.

Well. As many have stated choose the unlock that you play the most. But, by far the first SF unlock should be the G36E!! I think most would agree as it is such a huge improvement. Glad to have you along Grumpy.

The DAO for the Anti-tank kits as it is such a step up from the SMG's. When it comes to unlocking, I usually try to aim for something that would definitly give me a better punch in combat. But also, like everyone else has said, go for the kit unlock that you play the most on.

Good luck, and get that promotion!

Well - I messed up on picking my first SF unlock.....I was caught up in the hype of the F2000.

I'm thrilled to hear the medic 2x upgrade is a solid weapon. That really makes me want to get there.

One question. When I hit the next level at 5,000 - do I get 2 unlocks b/c I have SF (and need to play SF again to unlock) or do I just get one unlock?

Thank you very much for the warm welcome imdead. I'm really enjoying this game....but still have a huge amount to learn. I'm in my early 30s and don't have as much time to play as I'd like.......so reading on here really helps me enjoy the times I am able to play.

The G3 is a very good rifle, however it cripples the Assault kit severely. 20 bullets per mag and the loss of the grenade launcher just doesn't make up for the slight damage bonus.

DAO-12 is a sweet weapon on the other hand, a huge improvement over the existing AT unit weaponry.

DAO > M95 > G3

In terms of actual use that is. All of them kick ass.

2 unlocks for people who paid for SF. (it starts after some rank that I already had when SF came out, but if you have already received 2 unlocks at one point then you will continue to get 2)

G36E rocks !!!!!!!! but am I the only medic who feels it should be nerfed a little??

G3a3	17%	17% - 6
Dao-12	65%	65% - 23
M95	17%	17% - 6
Total: 35
