MP7 is a total waste of time and effort.

So for those of us who like to use the Engineer class, we're pretty familiar with basic shotgun theory.

Basically, walk up to a bunch of guys on the other team who are preferably facing in the other direction, spam the fire button, yay free kills.

The MEC shotty was kinda neat, and really got the job done; the USMC/PLA shotties pretty much dominate anyone inside twenty feet of you; the jackhammer is an unholy instrument of "LOL, I PWNT j00r SQUAD NUBZ;" in a general way, the shotguns are the chief attraction of the engineer class (mines being passable and useful as equipment, but not showstoppingly effective, particularly when that tank knows you're there and isn't already dead).

So why give the engineer kit the worst SMG in a game of AWFUL SMGs (the P-90 is the only one that isn't total crap, and I see no reason to use it over the DAO-12 when the pistol is as good as it is)?

WHHHYYYYY?

I actually think that the MP7 is good at very close range, on fully automatic, and its rate of fire is incredibly fast... but at long range is sucks... id rather use the jackhammer lol

I think it's awesome, it's got great accuracy and low recoil, but the firepower sucks.

About P-90, I find it way better than DAO-12, it rocks at both close and ranged.

Pump shotties > mp7

As for the jackhammer, im a little on the fence on that one. You better hit what ur aiming at else ur outta ammo faster than u can say noob cannon.

MP7 is good on large open maps, but up close nothing beats the Pump action shotguns, the best is the M11-87.

I'm going to get a promotion really soon, and I play AT way more than engineer, only because engie has crappy guns. Should I just use both unlocks for AT and continue on, or should I go 1 and 1 w/ AT and engie? I hate shotguns btw.

If you hate shotguns, do not unlock 1 for each. The first AT and Eng unlocks are both shotguns.

I've heard good things about the P90 though.

I find the MP7 Great on Wake Island.. Last time i checked it has the same stats are the P-90 Except 10 Less ammo, and no scope just iron Sites.. You can clean out alot of guys pretty fast with it if you know how to use it.

It was my Weapon of Choice while earning my 100 hours for Expert Engineer.

The P-90 is fine if taking on a squad one enemy at a time. The DAO-12 is much better when taking on three or four enemies at the same time in CQB alleys. Have only tried the MP7 a few times (not unlocked yet), but it's only good if you've got a couple of enemies to deal with. More, and you're dead.

And the fire rate is MUCH higher than a pistol and you have 40 shots, so the enemyis full of lead before he can even ask for a medic.

In my opinion the MP7 is the crappiest unlock.The recoil is horrible for such an underpowered weapon.It only seems effective at close range.You might as well use either shotgun if you have to be that close.

I used mp7 to get my expert engy. shotguns are good at close range, but mp7 can hit from medium range and mp7 has incredibly fast firing rate.

No they're really not. Ever heard of unlimited tank health. That is the attraction of Eng, otherwise its a complete waste of time.

MP7 is excellent up close on automatic.

Put it on singleshot and you can kill from distances.

MP7 is my choice when I play on MEC, but the M11-87 is the best engineer gun in the game.
