Where the hell did you get a fully auto sniper rifle.
Buy Auto i mean the Type 88 i think it is and the SVD, You can fire multipule shots of the rifle before you cock a nother bullet like you do in the M24, M95 & L96A1, hence why i called it a Auto rifle

But yeah its a semi-Auto rifle thx

I know, i was just being a dick.  I actually love the semi auto sniper rifles.  Though its becasue i don't actually snipe, i play like i would any kit, and it can hold its own in reletivly close combat, even against a PKM.
No. Unlocks can not be used during scrims so I don't use them, although I don't scrim in Battlefield 2 much. Just like the thread creator, I tend to be better with the stocks, and I like them more too. I hope in Battlefield 2142 unlocks will be well rounded for competitive play. It would add a whole new edge to the game.

I was talking about competition play. I would think they'd be interested in maintaining as even a playing field as possible. The stock weapons don't always offer that.
Most competetions and clan matches are held on unranked servers which don't an an option for using unlocks as of now.
Ahh you're right, I hadn't thought about that...

For me it depends on the army, the kit and the map.

SpecOps I'll nearly always use the G36C - for some reason I find I am more accurate with it. However for night maps I'll use the SCAR-L or AKSU-74, with which I am far less accurate, but the sighting reticle is far better under those light conditions or through NVG.

(And for those who don't realise, it's a "projected dot reticle" not any form of laser; within the sight is an angled piece of glass that reflects a dot into the eye of the viewer, overlaying it on what they see through the sight. Like the HUD on a chopper or fighter aircraft)

For Engineer I'll use the Jackhammer instead of the pump-actions, but not the semi-auto.

For Medic I'll use the L85A1 for open maps but the G36E/M16/AK for city and CQB. Again because of reticle issues.

For Anti-tank I'll use the P90 for open maps but the DAO12 for city and CQB.

For Assault I'll use the G3 or F2000, or SCAR-H on night maps.

For Sniper I'll use the L96A1 if I can, but for Sharqi and Iron Gator I'll use the M95, closer ranges = bigger heads, and both those maps suffer from "Chopper Persistence Syndrome" for which a good dose of M95 can provide temporary relief.

I Absolutely use unlocks.  But not all the time.  If im MEC Medic, its the AK.  For US its *currently* L85.  Most spec ops players use g36c.  Most anti-tankers use DAO/P90.  Assault, G3 and F2000 are great guns.

I think MOST people use unlocks, but not all the time.

Of Course I do:

Spec Ops - G36c
Sniper - M95
Medic - G36e
Support - MG36
Anti-Tank - toss up between the three
Engineer - Normal gun
Assault - F2000 if I had unlocked it.

Im more of a Bolt Action man, even in CQC aim for the Neck if i hit you swich to pistol and finish, but mostly you die from my head shot, not that im braging becuase i started out as a noob sniper and im only just leveling my kd now. but dam its fun pwning noobs from south base to arty island.

But it is possible to get a full auto sniper, the PKM! Dam its fun sniping other snipers with that my fav time was sniping with it on the bunker at the beach > south Base....

Yeah, i just like them better:

Support: PKM is the most accurate one for me, and it does the most damage
Engineer: Jackhammer IMO is the best shotgun in the game, so of course i'll use it
Assault: You can't go wrong with the F2000
Medic: G36E FTW, yeah, easy kills, but that's what this game is about, killing people, so i'm gonna use the one that's best for this class
Sniper: I can't hit shit with the M95, but i think the M24 is the best, but if i'm on PLA or MEC, i'll use the L96A1
Spec-Ops:  I think the G36C is the most accurate auto gun in the game, so i'm gonna use it
Anti-Tank: The P90's scope is bitchin, i hate the DOA, and the stock SMG's have too small a clip (yeah, PP-19 has 45, but doesn't have a dot scope)

so i pretty much am exclusively use unlocks.  To all those who say "only real players use stock guns" FUCK YOU

Hows the headache ig88.  Good to see your spirits are up BIG BOY. 
   I personally use unlocks most of the time.  I feel the same as others here, that I want to use the toys at my disposal.  Then again, it is sometimes nice to go back and use the AK 101 or the MEC's engineer gun, (not sure what it's called) for shits and giggles.  The unlocks have an advantage in firepower and accuracy, but sometimes it's not about that... it is about functionality, where a certain weapon suits the job.  I personally prefer the stock US shotty to the Jackhammer... just a preference.

I use whatever is most appropriate for the situation.

I do favor the S12k, RPK, and AK-74u

But I'll whip out the DAO, G36E, or PKM if it poses better prerequisites for the job.

I tried to learn to play with all of them, they all have their charm, even that shitty little thing they gave chinese AT's

lol sup dio, yea the s12k does own along with the good ol m11-87, i hate the jackhammer, but i have to disagree with you saying that the unlocks have an advantage in firepower and accuracy. that is sometimes true but not all the time so you cant really make a generalization on them like that, big boy.

I was thinking, do you know what you be an awsome gun for BF2?  Putting a dot scope on the G36E.  It truly would be God's Finger.  Sorry to hijack, but the unlocks just made me think of it

That would be unfair. Cool, but unfair and everyone would use it with crazy effects on the field w/ all Spec ops running around begging for ammo and revives. MEDIC!
