Full Auto. Then you use control how long you hold the mouse down for differing situations where you need more accuracy or more bullets. I fucking hate when I pick someone else kit up and they have changed it to semi. Get into a fight hold the mouse down and discharge 1 fucking round and then sit there like a retard doing nothing for a split second before I realise I picked up a retarded players kit, but by then I'm already dead...
If i really want single shot I just push the trigger once on a full auto, I'm too lazy to press '3' again for single

Burst or Auto. Why go on single shot? If you can aim properly and accurately, it can save you a split second which can be very important.

Full auto - 70%
Single shot - long distance

burst annoys me, but i dont use any unlocks except G3, so i have to use M16 for USMC.

I always stay on Auto because I can still fire one round at a time but if some noob runs up to me I can still put the rest of the clip into his chest and live.

CQB...... Auto

Mid Range- 4-5 shot bursts.

While sniping it's obvious. I'd like to think i get more kills when playing assault using single shot. Right mouse button spam ftw

Single shot is for fags.
How is it for fags? I mean seriously first you say the g36e is for fags since it's so accurate, Now this! I mean dude why do you hate single shot? Is it because it's too easy to get kills? No quite the contrary. Is it because you got owned by a guy who used single shot while you had your gun on full auto in a CQC firefight? Or is it because you hate things in bf2 which you cant master? Fuck i suck Heli's but i dont go around saying people who use heli's suck. Single shot is great i cant tell you how many times with my ak-74u i managed to take down an F2000 whore.(While his bullets went everywhere i shot 3 rounds into his head killing him and escaping with 64% life)
And you took this too seriously.

Oh boy, you need to chill out.

I use auto, almost without fail. I switch to semi for tagging people at looong range, but usually just use short controlled bursts of automatic fire.

Unless I get bored, have a nice large target/target rich environment, or just feel like letting rip; THEN I go full auto and empty a clip at someone.
Usually happens with my PKM. Blam, blam, blam, blam, kill. Blam, blam, blam, kill. Hey look, a chopper! DAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKA.

Burst. Provides a good balance of control and damage at close and medium range, as well as ammo control, and I can pop em off pretty quick at close range if need be. Plus, that 'thwak-thwak-thwak' of three rounds of lead hitting my target is so satisfying.

Even if I have a full auto weapon, I'm firing it off in 2- and 3-round bursts - ammo control and accuracy again. I only use the full auto in a panic or when I'm doing some sort of kamikaze run just to mess around.

As far as single shot.. Maybe for sniping and long range stuff, but in medium to close range you'll probably get creamed unless you can hit the head pretty damn well. Only plus sides I'd give this would be if you don't have many rounds left and aren't in a position to get a supply drop, and for poppin' head shots, or for providing covering/distraction fire while someone moves in to flank so you don't use up too much ammo doing so.

With auto you can do both, so no need for single/burst.

Um, auto, because that way you have ALL THREE modes at your fingertips (heh) just by exercising a little trigger control:

tap = single
press = burst of 2 or 3
hold = spray

Just as with real guns! What a concept!

Now if I'm sniping with the L85 then I do go to single shot. But that's because snipers have a lot of time on their hands.



EDIT:  haha there's an echo in here...
