BATTLEFIELD 2(not demo)

I'm actually at 9500 or so points and need to decide what gun to unlock next... Was thinking jackhammer since I play with engy a lot now but it really really really sucks so as of right now, I'm gonna unlock the PKM since it just destroys.
You have quite a good K/D ratio, wildfire 
Well PKM IS powerful but it's quite useless if you aren't at prone position and very short bursts are necessary. Usually two or three shots are enough to kill.
Otherwise you can't hit even a sky. PKM is good against air targets, if chopter gets near and it can't shoot you. You can do pretty much harm to it and I've dropped few with PKM but I guess those have allready been damaged.
If you don't play much with support kit, you might want to consider another weapon to un-lock. It's poor accuracy can sometimes piss you really off!
I've played most of my time with support kit and with PKM when I got it about few weeks ago.

I'm having the same difficulty deciding which gun. My first unlock was the G3, at first I wans't too happy, but after using it a little it completely destroys pretty much any infantry. Two shots with that guns kills anybody, not to mention it is EXTREMELY accurate at short and long range. Only downside is small clip, but that isn't to bad if you keep reloaded, and well supplied (good to have a Support partner). But now I'm torn between the DAO-12 (Anti-Tank unlock) and the L85 (Medic unlock). I'm leaning towards the L85 as I play a Medic much more often then I play anti-Tank, but the DAO-12 is a better upgrade. The medic guns are really pretty accurate and do some good damage, while the Anti-Tank weapons are pretty much crap. So, the DAO-12 might be a better choice to get a weapon that will at least do same major damage in close range, instead of having a crap weapon that does nothing at all ranges.
Thanks
The problem is;
I don't like the jackhammer.
The G3 is awesome but doesn't have enough ammo and I like the nade launcher
The L8 medic gun sucks.
The M95 is awesome but you get hardly any points playing as a sniper.
The PKM is the next weapon of choice since I do like support...

L85 is a waste of time, it sucks. Don't try and tell me otherwise. Do not get this.
G3 is good. However by choosing this you lose the support classes greatest attribute (nade launcher), so it's a waste of time.
PKM is an improvement on the other support weapons, however it still sucks. A good medic will beat a good 'supporter' any day. Waste of time.
Jackhammer is pretty decent for close range. However if you're Engineer, you should almost always be in a vehicle, so it's a waste of time selecting this weapon. For this reason, I didn't see it as an improvement over the other Engi guns.
G36c is an all round improvement. It's just better than the alternatives. The only problem being, I don't go Spec Ops, so this is a waste of time for me.
M95 has the unique ability of being able to shoot through glass n stuff. For this reason it's really cool
Sniping doesn't do much to help your team/score/whatever, but it's great fun. This is an improvement on the other rifles.
DAO12 OWNS. This should be your first choice. Get it.
---------
So...
If I were to start from scratch again, i'd unlock them in this order:
DAO
M95
G36c
Jackhammer
PKM
G3
L85

Well yar. It's an automatic shotgun which holds 12 rounds, each time you fire 1 round you can do up to about 90% damage. It fires ubelievably fast with relatively little recoil.
Not so good for long range, but that's what your Pistol and Rocket launcher are for.
Seriously, it owns hard. Get it now
...and you don't have to reload all 12 of the bullets at the same time. If you need them quick, just do 3 or 4 and you can kill anyone.

If I had like 1 bar of health left, was lagging, and I was shooting at 2 or 3 other people... then maybe 
For public it's great, seeing as usually 90% of the people suck. Though i'm sure it'd be just as good against someone as sexeh as me

I hate that when support weapons are so un-accurated. True would be that at prone position you can hit it longer and more accurated than with basic assault rifle.
But if you shoot like with PKM a long burst, you can't hit anything. But with short bursts, it's every rifle squads "all can do" saviour

@Gainy, The L85 sucks???? Hmmmmmm, what about it sucks exactly? I've heard mixed reviews, but overall that it was a pretty decent upgrade, especially if you play Medic class often. If it really does suck, then I guess I already know what I'm unlocking next, the DAO-12.

Yar, it sucks very hard. It isn't accurate, it isn't powerful, so it isn't good for spraying and isn't good for long distance shooting. The others medic guns are much better. You won't see anyone good using the Medic unlock.
DAO 12 is a no brainer, it really does own.

Alright then, just need 7,000 more pts and I will unlock the DAO-12. Only 7,000 more, hmmmm let's see that will probably take about 3 months at my current rate. Oh well.
I might go onto some non-ranked servers that have global unlocks on and try out the unlockable weapons, see which I like best.

When I can get next unlock? Is it at corpral rank? And how much points I need for that, I have only 1800 together now. This game isn't really for you if you don't play every frikkin night couple of hours, you can get out of pace quickly.
I just noticed after few evenings that I didn't play at all and yesterday tried a bit. It was horrible!

Yea, you get your next unlock at Corporal which you attain when you get 10,500 pts. The next unlock is at 25,000, then next at 50,000 and so on and so forth. I've had the game since the day it came out and played hardcore (like 5 hours a day everyday) for about a week and a half and got to almost 2,000 pts. Now I have school, work, and vo-tech which leaves me only Saturday nights and Sunday to play. So I'm only sitting at 3,150 pts for now.
