I use the unlocks, played enough hours and scored enough points (barely) to get them so why not use them.

I'm a 3 star. I use unlocks, no biggy. Don't mind how anyone plays the game really, as long as they:
1 Don't cheat/glitch.
2 Play fair...I.e Don't bunnyhop under fire.
         Surely saying to NOT use unlocks is paramount to NOT using vehicles in vehicle servers!
Surely saying not to bunnyhop is paramount to not dodging missiles by rolling your helicopter

(also I think you mean tantamount, not paramount)

Uh, those 2 groups aren't even close to being mutually exclusive. Just because I put a few random letters/symbols in front of my name doesn't make me immediately better than anybody else.

Compare the M16 to the G36E, or AK101 for that matter.  Way more accurate and drops guys quicker.  The unlocks are more powerful, so IMO they are for noobs.
Assuming unlocks are more powerful, wouldn't it then follow that it is harder to stay alive longer (i.e. not be killed by the super-guns)?? Thus, aren't guns that are weak and allow you to take multiple hits before death the 'noob' ones, since it means you can make more mistakes and get hit more before you die?? I think so.

I thinks its just noobish to bunnyhop under fire. Yeah to jump around a corner is fine. But you see some of them jumping like fuck under fire. It severely pisses me off. I Don't do it, but maybe I'm a little naive to expect no one else to do it. I thought that 1.41 had restricted bunnyhopping anyway?

First off a n00b is someone who sucks at this game, not someone who does stuff that you aren't allowed to in whatever league. Bunnyhopping is only done to reach cover, when your doing it out it the open its just retarded as you cannot fire and jump and the same time (since 1.2, not 1.4), you are depleting your stamina which can be used for more important things and once your stamina is in the red your jumps have no distance. So I guess it is n00bish since only a n00b would think he's accomplishing anything.

I like bunnyhoppers.   They are easier to snipe than runners.

The unlocks add variety, some are better than default weapons - L85A1

Some people use guns I think are pathetic and still manage to own with it- (SCAR anything, F2000, G36E I know a lot of people whine about this gun, but I do much better with other rifles, don't know why, think it's the bullets actually going where they are aimed for a change, so I'm not bothered in the slightest by it being there and don't think it's over balanced)

Others have unique abilities (M95) and some default weapons kick ass, for me anyway, more than any others, unlock or not (RPK74)

Having the best weapons for each kit amongst the default weapons and some in the unlocks is great, it means you have to try them all to find your favourites.

What gets me are the 2 players from some nobody clan that both go medic and use the G36E. When I (Not a clanfag) use the M16.

I'm fine with them... except the G36e. I complain when people use the G36E. Why? Because if you haven't noticed, the deviation doesn't change from stance to stance, it reverts to lowest deviation quickly, has a high rate of fire, and does decent damage. I've had people hit me with 36E's at long range with a burst (all three or 2 bullets hutting) and do so quicker than I can hit them with another assault rifle. Same with the 36C, it's an automatic version of it basically.

What's wrong with the Support weapons? Lol. SAW rips apart infantry, RPK is deadly, PKM is automatic sniping machine gun, and the MG36.. well.. is' a 36 class...

What wrong with them? I remember the last time I picked up a support kit off the revvive, i went something insane like 34-3. They're in the same class as the G36E IMO (Point+click=dead)

Null; depends on the kit. I rarely use unlocks, but that's out of preference, not because I think unlocks are for noobs. If you've spent the time getting them, why not use them?

Simply put: I use unlocks when they work better for me than their stock counterparts.

Sniping : I prefer the L96 over the M24. (And who wouldn't? The crosshairs rock)
Medic : I mix it up just for the hell of it. Sometimes the L85 rock and sometimes I can't hit shit.
AT : The Dao works wonders on tighter map and shotties are fun to use
Support: I don't like the saw so it's either RPK or PKM for me. (God I hate the MG36)
