BF2S Forums P90 Vs. Mp7

As someone sort of said, all the SMGs are exactly the same in terms of accuracy. The only differences are sights and clip sizes.

Anyway, I'm recommending the P90, just ebcause the AT class is so much better and more useful than the engineer class.

I prefer the P90 TBH, it's just..."cooler". And I've liked it since 1.2 when I was able to pick it up.

100% ACK. An engineer outside an armored vehicle may be fun on CQC maps like Karkand, Warlord, Great Wall, Sharqi - with a shotgun, but usually that's nothing one should strive for. The MP7 did not really give engys long rage combat ability, as it is a PDW (personal defense weapon) and therefore rather designed to be used in CQC than for anything else. Engineers definitely have their purpose in this game, but no matter what primary weapon they have at hand - they're a defensive support class, not an offensive combat class.

What is especially cool about the P90 is indeed the red dot scope besides I usually prefer ironsight aiming. But comparing the P90 to the other SMGs, the P90 is clearly the weapon of choice - to me at least.
I have to disagree though on the thoughts about changes in 1.3: Most people agree that the P90's accuracy has been improved with the patch, a feeling I personally share.

So, to sum it up: If you're an engineer: Stay close to armor that might need repair and don't get engaged in combat in first place. If you're anti-tank and don't expect much CQC like around Karkand's hotel, you definitely want to have the P90.

You'll love the jackhammer, I have picked up the mp-7 before & its just not my style, the p-90 is great after they fixed it, clips run out quick though. MG-36 does only 30 damage to the pkms 45.
I'd get the p-90 & the jackhammer, save the mp-7 & mg36 till last.

after 1.3 came out, the p90 has become totally awesome! im loving it! the funny thing is that the only thing that has changed is the sound. they made it have a faster round sound (zomg i rhymed!). thats the only reason y i like... but i like it also cause it has 50 rouns per clip.

Everyone should note that if you haven't played with the P-90 post 1.3 then you don't know the full story. They had to have upped the ROF from 900 to 1200 or something, because now it empties rounds like no other, even faster than the mp-7 I think. I really like the P-90, but in your situation I'd probably get the Mp-7 because AT already has a solid unlock with the DAO-12 and unless you like or even have the option of using a pump shotty then engie needs a better option.

Yeah. I have to concur. The DAO-12/pistol combination (if you can weild a pistol effectively) does, I think, defeat all other combinations for Anti-Tank. As for the P-90, it does seem to fire faster than the 900RPM supposed, and the G36E (also supposed 900RPM fire-rate) seems to be lacking in that and accuracy...
The P-90 is good for spraying and running around like a headless chicken (but not 'bunny hopping', I hope). However, I prefer to use the pistol for range because of the same damage and the, personally, better accuracy.
The MP7 (I have used a little on SF) is pretty good but, like the MG36 (and in this case the P-90), is a hard task to get used to. Master this and you'll have devastation. However, I may be tempted to use the Jackhammer/pistol combination for the same reasons as the DAO-12/pistol.
Hope you choose well, and good luck!
