Okay, so I just got First Sergeant, yay! I got the L9681 sniper for the 1st unlock, and I can't decide which to get for the other. I have the MP7, MG36 and P90 locked, which is the best of these?

I play Engineer and Anti-Tank quite a lot, the lack of range with the shotguns gets me killed a lot of the time, but I love the 36 class of weapons, although I don't play support a huge amount. The pkm sucks, its so innaccurate.

So yeah, are the MP7 or P90 worth getting? (I could live with the shotguns).

Cheers.

I barley use the MP7 and a Engineer. The P90 should be your last unlock, but I like the MG36 alot. Wait for the other peoples opionion, don't take just mine.

All of the weapons are so-so IMO.

The MG36 is probably the best, but if you don't play much support, don't bother.

I'd just take the unlock for whatever kit you play the most.

I feel that the PKM is still superior to the MG36, but you stand less of a chance of being bitched at all game with the MG36.

The MP7 is a nice gun for those who are tired of shotties.


Lets not talk about the p90.

I would say go MP7 unless you really don't play engineer ever.


BUT checking your stats, I would say DEFINATELY go MP7

The MG36 is the best support weapon. Screw the PkM, Mg36 owns and it looks cool.

I play Engineer the most, but like I said I can live with the shotguns... the Jackhammer rocks at close quarters. But I want to get my Support hours up, to even my stats a bit, also to get the vet and expert medals for it.

forget the P90, i made a mistake of unlocking it and not the L96 but you should go with MP7 who cares what people say about using the PKM?

Personally I like the new P90.  I also play Engie a lot and enjoy using the MP7.  Tough call, but all 3 are useful.

I've loved the P90 ever since it came out.  If I were you I'd get that.

I'd say the P90 or the MP7. The MG36 can take a LOT of time to get used to, and can be hard to handle for an inexperienced player. Deadly in the right hands but...you get what I mean. I quite like the MP7. Awesome weapon (again in the right hands), and many people dash it away, but can be very useful. Same with the P90 really. That's about it, so good luck and Happy Hunting!

P90 and MP7 are pretty much the exact same weapon now after the latest patch, the only difference being reload times, draw times and clip sizes. but i unlocked the P90 and i haven't regretted it yet. so P90 ftw!

Your choices for the three classes:
The MG36 is better than the PMK while standing IMPO, however proned I think your better off with he PMK.

Support should be proned most of the time while shooting so therefore the MG36 isn't really "the right gun" for that class. I suppose it's good for running around hallways and corners with the support class.

As far as the P90 goes I just don't like it... at range use the pistol up close use the DAO-12, it's that simple.

As for anti-tank you should be off in the distance a little bit, this is where the pistol works well. If anyone gets close or you want to sneak up switch to the DAO, don't get too click happy and you can kill 3 before you have to reload. The P90 isn't very good at range or short clicks, unless your single shot (hence use the pistol). However upclose it empties very quickly and does alot of damage but not better than the DAO. I just don't like the P90

The MP7 is different than the Jackhammer, I always run out of bullets with the jack and die on the second person. But the Jack is great if you jump out of the tank and need to shoot someone quick (Spec-ops Running away with the detonator, AT laying down beside the tank). When it comes to the MP7 it's very good at close range, I generally have half the bullets left after I kill. Also the MP7 is supperior is at distance not as good as the pistol but quite good.

Personally I'd take the MP7 and I have had them all for some time.


Here is what I use...

Medic: G36E all the way, the L???? isn't bad for sniping but you should really be in on the action as medic.
Assult: FN2000 (nice scope)
Support: PMK no other
Special OPS: Generally the G36C around the buildings etc up-close, Scar if I'm thinking I might need the range.
AT: DAO-12 always, this with the pistol near a TOW and you can't lose.
Eng: MP7 as a primary while walking around, if I'm in a tank I use the JACK.

- MP7 is awesome if your only other choices are the lame default autoshotty or the (ruined by EA) Jackhammer.
- The MG36 doesn't pack the punch of a PKM, but I use it if I know I'm going to be in lots of close-quarters battles.
- The P90 has been vastly improved by 1.22. People should try it.

Forgot to say I like the P90, unlocked it after 1.22 though so I don't know what it was like before. Whats that you say about the Jackhammer? It hasn't changed at all has it?

get P90 dude! it will get your stats up with anti-tank. Now I play and learn how to use it, it isnt bad, just practise and you will be among the best. With AT you will take off vehicles and with P90 poeple even in long range. I dont care what others say, I like it. MG36 isnt so good as PKM and MP7 is better than shotguns.Its up to you, what you need most.

MP7.  I run as anti-tank A LOT.  I can kill at long range with short bursts and just hose 'em at close range.

i was all pumped up about the mp-7, but it is pretty weak at longdistances


EDIT:woops, i would go for the p90, its pretty sweet at close range, plus laser sight

The Jackhammer allows for somewhat guaranteed kills at the incredible range of three feet. So I usually will only go with the pump-action (if available for my side), or the MP7.

MP7's for engineers. The AT guy gets a DAO-12 or a P90 for an unlock.

The MP7 is awesome for medium ranges, but I usually use it for zipping into a base, hosing down three or four people, and leaving a grenade behind while I reload behind a wall. Drop a mine by each vehicle, and then steal their best. Drive away, and enjoy the explosions occuring behind you as your enemy attempts to give chase.

Ok thanks guys. I'm gonna go with the MP7, as I need some kind of range with my Engineer on foot. I guess I just have to get a bit better with the PKM, and I can live with the DAO, i'm starting to get long/medium-range  infantry kills with the SRAW so...

Cheers for the input.

Delph, the MG36 would be wasted if you have the PKM. The MP7 will drop a pkm at close range due to the delay of getting the PKM ready to fire.
