id probably go for the assault rifle anyways..thats my favorite type of firearm in most games anyways. i dont mind if it only holds 20 rounds..theres not many clips that hold more than that anyways in real life.

o.0 you're gonna waste your first unlock on the g3? <.< lol... well it is your account and time, but i'd suggest against it.... like strongly... i can definately understand wanting to be an assault figure, but i know you aren't someone's played it yet....
the assault kit doesn't offer a whole lot no matter what upgrade you got... a few grenades (nearly every class has them... engineer and anti-tank being hte only exception and the engineer carries land mines and anti-tank a rocket launcher) and a single smoke grenade.. (mostly every kit carries grenades, knife, and a pistol.) other then that, nothing special for assault personel... they're just your average everyday run in gunnin' soldier)
you'll see what i'm saying when you play it... every class basicly has some 'skill' that no other has (support replenish ammo, medic heal and revive, sniper spot and pick off troops, spec ops... well they got c4... and of course it can be used to lay traps, take out vheicles, or blow up bridges [yes, you can blow up bridges to keep troops and vheicles at bay] engineer, lay mines fix vheicles/structures, anti-tank take out vheicles) but the assault class, can easily be handled by any other class....
they just get smoke grenades and for 3rd gen upgrade, a shitty assault rifle and flash bangs.... in most games they're pretty damn useful.. but in this game, they're really not.... only practical use i've found of them so far, is just to blind on coming troops... but you usually don't see on coming troops, you only see you got company when it's right on your ass, cuz most flag capturers run in squads, and use strategical planning to get there.... and get in... not much of a chance to really use those flash bangs...
What would you recommend as the first upgrade I unlock?Quote:

working as a team (on us side) medic... that m16 sucks.. just loving ot fire, support... seriously, that gun kicks some ass... NEVER EVER use any weaponf ully automatic this game DOES reconize recoil, and using fully automatic opposed to firing a fully automatic weapon, at pulses SEVERELY SEVERELY decreases accuracy... if at far range, never use more the one shot at a time.. believe me, that recoil does make alot of diffrence... even snipers.. before you tak eyour shot, pause a few seconds droppign to he ground, putting your cross hair on their head doesn't always work... even if you're 100% sure you hit them.... the bullet wil say otherwise), pulse fire (with the MG i do about 6 round bursts, anything smaller, i stick to the 3 round... but being able to open up and 'spray and pray' is very useful in alot of situations... which is the only reason i prefer auto's over semi's or burst-only weapons like the m16)
for lone wolf, definately the sniper rifle... little more recocking time then the m24 (us basic sniper rifle) but a hell of alot more range, accuracy and damage....
basicly of hte 2nd gen weapon upgrades, in list of usefulness/my personal tastes (purely talking fo the upgraded weapon here... i.e. medic will always be the most useful in any battle situation, but the rifle sucks) (i base my tastes on working as a team btw... i prefer squads opposed to lone wolf, but i do spend about as much time on both 'sides'..)
sniper
spec ops
support
assault
medic
engineer
anti-tank
i have played with all 7 2nd gen upgrade weapons quite a bit actually.... alot of the 3rd gen are still new to me.. but as of now...
sniper (will always be top... i have played with every weapon, and there is no 3rd gen more valuable then the sniper)
spec ops
medic
support
anti-tank
assault
engineer
its funny because wal mart and target are out of stock for it, and only have the boost packs for it. gamestop doesnt even have it right now.
and i even checked the websites and they said they all had it in stock. really bugs me.
but im keepin my eyes out. maybe ill check out some other stores or something.
you might have to order it o.0 it is pretty old... lol (don't get that wrong tho... you can tell it's gonna be one of those games people are still religously playing in 10 years... more servers then i've ever seen on any game... over 4,000 strong if you don't set any filters)
nothing wrong with games that are old. some of my favorite games are old.
im just gonna go to frys and theyll have it.
i know i was just saying that make it harder to find at stores like walmart or bestbuy.... fry's tho is like a super warehouse the size of walmarts, but just for computers.. i'll be suprised if you don't find it there lol...
but yeah, i def. think this game will be around for a good long time... it's graphics are supperior to ANY game on ps2 or reg. xbox (of course with the game set at highest settings.. at lowest, it's about equal)
i had to hunt around for my copy, all the major UK game stores were out of copies, so i ordered online and got it delivered...they have it on amazon.com
I guess I was lucky when i thought to myself "Hmmm, i've got $20 and BF2's $19.99... I guess I'll get it"...
I finally got a really good mouse so i think playing games on this pc is gonna be a lot funner. its all slick and nice.
and i saw that game today too but couldnt pick it up because i bought some tweeds. so now i gotta put it off for this next thursday again. haha
is it fun to fly the jets at all in this game? it looks like fun.
As a matter of fact I was doing this a few weeks ago... I was too fucked up to realize what I was doing but it was super fun and it is fun to fly jets in the game as long as you have a good joystick.
So yeah I just started playing again now that i have my new pc and Ive discovered that im actually really good at it as long as I have a good computer. (heres my stats lol - DESTR0YER Staff Sergeant Stats, BF2S.com ) if anyone wants to play some pm me.
takes awhile to learn.... i learned on my keyboard... it's hard to fly the jets using the moouse and keyboard.... i'm pretty good at it, and yeah it's fun... it takes some skill to fly ya know.. cuz if you got someone on you, not only do you gota manage to not get shot down by avoiding their attacks, YOU have to get set up to go on the offensive and attack them...Quote:

jets are my favorite thing..i almost joined the navy just for their air force. there was a game called ace combat that i used to play nonstop for ps2 i think. anyways, thats my forte so to speak, driving vehicles. not limited to, just one of my things i guess. i like to drive tanks a lot.Quote:

this games got a lot of crazy stuff. i like all the ranks and unlocks and all that stuff.
is it like some games where you have to pay for your account? i wouldnt think so..but just curious.
nope don't gotta pay...
i love the comprehensive record lists....
my brother got this for the 360 and its ok, controls are kind of funky, and for some reason it keeps fucking up online. it keeps saying it cant read the disc when im about to enter a match.
I don't think its the same game on the 360. I think its Battlefield 2 Modern Combat (completely different)Quote:

the only xboxlive game i really play is call of duty 3, but i told my brother im getting this game for pc and he should get it too, but i guess he ended up getting the xbox one accidently.Quote:

i plan on gettin the expansions when i get my settlement money... have you tried the other one yet? i think it's european forces...Quote:

Oh yeah, and there's tear gas, grappling hooks and flash bangs.. its sweeeeeeeet...Quote:

how's the tear gas work? slow tick away at your health like in MOH:AA:BT?
It blurs your vision really badly and you cough, so if you're hiding, it gives away your position..Quote:

Another good thing about Special Forces is that they take away some of the emphasis on crazy vehicle massacres and put more on CQC... I don't think I'll be going back to Vanilla BF2 for a while...Quote:

i wish ther was a server that had jeeps only.... they don't really offer much but trasnportation, and sometimes it can be a bitch to walk everywhere lol...
Yeah pretty much....Quote:

oh well youc an do that in the desert combat mod (well it gives you one truck, can also use civilian cars in bf2:mc) but tha'ts not what i meant... i meant an IO server that had jeeps for transport.... from what i've seen tho, it's either all vheicles or no vheicles..Quote:
