On Karkand I play USMC almost all the time I can unless I join late. Because they win with like 90% of the time.

On Sharqi I play as Mec and would love to have chopper but lately there are no good pilots.

On the rest of the rest of the maps it really doesn't matter for me. But I do like the AK in Mec, I like the auto sniper in China but the L9 sniper or something is still more fun to use.
I use almost always the unlocks instead of the normal weapons.

Be nice if ranked server maps could pick the forces to be played on any map..it would offer standard weaponry based on the forces picked, and the unlocks would still be there.

You obviously play Euroforce a lot

USMC gets "light" weapons (most rifles, LMG and carbines chambered in 5.56x45, bolt-action sniper rifle, pump-action shotgun), MEC gets "heavy" (7.62x39 and 5.45x39 rifles, semi-auto shotgun and sniper rifle), PLA gets a mix of both (5.8x42 and 7.62x39 for rifles, carbines and LMG, semi-auto sniper rifle and pump-action shotgun).

PLA is MEC ally ...
True but so stupid...how a ultra-liberal communist country could be allied to Islamic warriors (but you know BF2 terrible logic, giving Eryx to everyone except Euro, latest Russian armament to Insurgents and Abrams to SAS) ? MEC VS PLA maps would rock !
Some people are so stupid. MEC isn't an insurgent/jihad terrorist coalition. It's an actual proper army formed by some pact that all ME countries are part of. That's why they have MiG29's, SU30's, Mi-28's, T90's and all of the top of the line russian stuff (Kinda weird though i agree, no ME countries currently posses all top of the line russian stuff, but it's fiction nevertheless)

Now, when you talk about SF. Then yes, it's stupid that the insurgents, SAS, Delta force or w/e, rebels and spetznas use MBT's and attack choppers, kinda ruins the whole point of "special forces". I think Dice CANADA made that expansion so obviously it was fucked up from the beginning.

It's funny that alot of people actually think that MEC = Terrorists, how clueless are some people.

Yeah, I miswrote with the M43, MEC doesn't have weapons chambered in it, it's 7.62x54R (SVD, and for example PKM and T-90's coaxial MG ^^). For fun, SVD should be SVDK in 9.3x64 ! (looking forward to see it in a future mod).

I didn't say they're terrorists or any kind of insurgents. MEC is an army. Which is the only thing that would make "Muslim Countries" join forces together and fight USA and its allies ? Islam. Religion. Not "fighting imperialism", but "fighting crusaders, infidels and zionists". Except their common religion, most Middle-Eastern countries and ethnics groups hate each other enough. But BF2 dev team weren't allowed to make some kind of religion oriented war game. This has already been debate here. You can't deny that MEC would be Islamic if they were real, but everyone knows it won't happen that Islamic would join together in a true and powerful army. Urban warfare, terrorist strikes, IED, and RPG ambush fit them well.

And China has cities...Its the 3rd biggest country in the world....Russia,Canada,Chine so you fail in geographic.
Imagine fighting in the Forbidden City or in HongKong. Would be awesome.

the game was designed so that on most maps usmc is an advantage which is the reason most people like to use usmc. No surprise that the game was made this way seeing as how most of the designers of the game are american.. it's simple as that.. people like to win... so they pick usmc for the advantage

Why do people always get into which gun is better flame wars? The guns are actually the most balanced part of the game and it's all a matter of personal preference.

The Type-88 is probably the gun I have the most fun with these days. I like the super-thin crosshairs, and it's decently accurate.
Other PLA guns:
Spec-Ops: Fantastic, love the g36c, but if I couldn't use an unlock I'd hope I'm on PLA
Assault/Medic: Not much experience, but it seems decent
Engineer: It's a Pump. Do I need to say anything else? excellent
Support: I really never played support til I got the PKM. I'll try this gun out tonight and get back
Anti-Tank: Awful. I aboslutely despise this gun. I'd rather try to snipe people with the DAO

I also really like the PLA pistol. I don't know why, it just lines up easier for me, resulting in more kills.

Also, I totally agree with whoever was advocating a PLA city map. I'd play it non-stop.

For MEC:
Spec-Ops: Meh, nothing special
Sniper: Never got the hang of it. I know people love it, and the scope is cool, but it doesn't work for me.
Ak-101: Good gun
Support: Rarely used, but it is a solid performer.
Engineer: 2nd most fun after type-88. Only 7 shots, but 7 clips, which makes it good for killing that one spec ops eye'n your tank while you're repairing
AT: probably the best stock one. I'd still pick DAO

USMC:
Spec-Ops: I prefer the g36, but it isn't bad
Sniper: When I'm in the sniping mood on US, I pick the m24, unless it's a chopper map (m95). The L96 is just too lame these days. Everybody uses it, and to me, it's just an m24 reskin.
M-16: I have no desire to use this gun. It just doesn't do it for me.
M249: The reason I never used to play support, this gun scarred me when I was a noob. Weak, inaccurate (was then). Haven't touched it since.
Engineer: Pump shotgun= good
AT: Nothing special

Also, to the original post, I think most people have US as their favorite because it's on every map. As I collect chopper time, I'll probably end up primarily PLA, because the Z-10 is by far my favorite. True, it doesn't have the super-cannon of the MEC chopper, or the handling and tight dumbfire rockets of the USMC, but it does the job, and if you've been flying the Z-10, you're ready to fly anything.

You certainly spent alot of time creating a review which basically said "i don't know anything about this gun so i'll skip it"

Like others said, PLA infantry weapons rock and maul at CC. Ak-47 = one of the best guns in the game, and the only gun that stands up to that would be the FAMAS.

Poor EU... such a great army (with US vehicles, but still cool). USMC and MEC get old, fast.

Just because they're the defaults?

Man there are two sides here: Unlocks are great/unlocks absolutely suck I use default guns ONLY.

Seriously, some are good, some are bad. It's not one or the other.

I would love a PLA city map to play bf2 on.  For the classes that I play I like the PLA weapons better than the MEC or the USMC.
