    I haven't played it enough to unlock anything, but I'll be unlocking the L85A1 first for sure.

    just sort your servers lowest pings at the top, that's what I do anyhow...

    here's a repost of my gun unlock reviews and ratings I did in another forum <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I partially typed this all for my own benefit, since I'm trying to help myself figure out what second unlock to get...

    #1: L85
    I unlocked the medic gun first, personally, and I'm quite happy with it. I play medic almost entirely when I'm infantry, and played intelligently, this gun makes you pretty much unstoppable. very accurate when zoomed, and powerful close-range on full auto. if you're in a sniper fight with a sniper, spec ops, assault, or anything, crawl out, shoot them a couple times with your good accuracy, and hide again to heal your wounds. they can't heal, so you win. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    #2: DAO-12
    for my second unlock (though that won't be for another 50 hours or so of playtime -_-), I'm very torn. The AT's shotgun is what I'm leaning toward, because it's hands-down the best point-blank weapon in the game. it's a much better shotgun than any of the engineer's shotguns, including his unlock shotgun =P bigger clip, faster firing rate... slower reload is the only drawback... one of my pet peeves is someone coming around a corner I'm near and killing me... I'd like to see them try it if I had this gun ready...

    #3: PKM
    I'm also tempted by the support's unlock. I tried it in single player and it didn't seem much more powerful than the normal support guns - but now that I've read people saying it can be used to take down soft vehicles too, that makes me a little more tempted to choose it... but still, if I want anti-vehicle weaponry, I'll probably just play anti-tank anyway...


    #4: G36C
    It's pretty much the only full auto gun I've ever played that stays accurate for more than one shot at range in auto mode. you can often hit with 2 or 3 shots before the spread starts kicking in. however, I consider spec ops one of the more overplayed classes. if I want to play an anti-vehicle role I pick AT, and if I want an anti-infantry role I play medic (or support for close range). just my personal preference. I wouldn't have a 2:1 kill/death ratio if I didn't pick a self-healing class most of the time <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->


    #5: G3
    I wasn't sure whether to put this lower on the list or not... it's a good gun, pretty accurate and pretty powerful, but the loss of the gren launcher takes away assault's ability to down "soft" vehicles, and thus limits your options... my personal preference is to just choose medic when I want an assault rifle class. a little less armor and slightly less powerful gun, but more accurate and can heal self and others...


    #6: M95
    I like it better than all the other sniper guns, but I'm putting this so low on the list because of how hard and impractical sniper is to play. if you want to snipe someone, just pick medic or spec ops IMO. people are always talking about the ability to shoot through glass - but face it, how often is a helicopter going to hover in the perfect position for you to shoot out the driver? if you want to take out a heli, go to a stationary weapon, AA vehicle, fighter jet, or pick AT...


    #7: jackhammer
    last and least I'm putting the engineer unlock. it's full auto and clip loading, which are pluses, but even the full auto is slower firing than the AT's unlock shotgun, and the clips hold less ammo... it's far superior to the pump-action shotgun american engy usually gets, so I guess you should pick the JH if you play engy a lot, which I don't =P the low rating is really based on the shortcomings of the engineer class, not the gun itself necessarily... I'd play engineer more if you could 'lock' your tank like in planetside, so it doesn't get jacked as soon as you get out to fix it...

    Can someone answer a simple question for me? It's the reason I've refrained from buying BF2, so if this has changed I might pick it up as well.

    Can you assign the right mouse button to move forward in the "common" section without it deleting your move backward key assignment?

    Thanks.

    Yes. You would have to go into the other controll sections (aircraft, boat etc.) and delete the key there as well, but you could do so easily.

    I just read some of the BF2 articles on gamespy and all they do is whine about there tanks being stolen and snipers, and "smacktard" has to be the lamest word I have ever heard.

    Ever.

    I become compelled to choke something upon hearing it.

    9000 to corporal and dear god I won't tell you how many to sergeant...I don't want to be responsible for your inevitable death from starvation as you try to play BF2 for 9 days straight and only get half way to the next rank. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I also don't think the ranking goes into the officer corps. I think it stops at Grand Master Poobah Sergeant or whatever the highest enlisted marine rank is.

    And furthermore PLEASE TELL ME I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HEARS A CAT LIKE MEOW/MOAN ON KUBRA DAM!

    as the kids say, "fixed".



    News on forthcoming patch!

    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->-Fixed issues that caused the Multiplayer Browser to become unresponsive.
    We've added some new functionality and buttons to the Multiplayer Browser that make finding an open game of Battlefield 2 much, much easier. Issues users have encountered involving zero ping servers or browser hangs have all be addressed.

    -Fixed an issue where some game controls were not available to be rebound within the Options menu.
    Some functions previously were not available to be rebound in the Controls Options menus. These items have been added to make rebinding of functions much easier.

    -Fixed a crash with rebinding LMB
    Users who rebind the Left Mouse Button to "Move forward" rejoice! With these fixes and more, it should be much easier to get in to a game of Battlefield 2 and that much easier to play it the way you want to play it.

    No, I think you misunderstand. The physical act of assigning move forward to right mouse button deletes the move backwards assignment. This isn't a case of a conflicting button assignment, but an actual bug in the demo interface. I'm wondering if this carries over to the retail version.

    Something else I saw on Blue's:

    <a href='http://www.foolishentertainment.com/index.asp?p=3&s=1&c=39' target='_blank'>Advanced Tactical Commander for BF2</a>

    It's a (free?) tool for clan types to download and see screenshots of the maps and stuff to plan out strategies before hand. I guess its kinda neat, if you're into that stuff.

    I was invited into a clan last night btw, to spite my inborn dislike of claners they were pretty nice guys and they seem to have their stuff together, real nice website and such.

    <a href='http://www.s3squad.com/' target='_blank'>http://www.s3squad.com/</a>

    I think their recruiting if anyone is interested, some material on the site might not be safe for children, if you dig around for it that is.

    Ether way their server could use some people.

    Really? Well we'll find out in 20 years when some half-starved Japanese guy is discovered on some remote island still playing the game and he’s almost a full bird colonel. "The war ended 10 years ago son."

    Seriously though, maybe the Infantry Officer ribbon I got well come in handy for however they decide who gets to be an officer.

    I'm gonna have to look at the strat guide when I'm up the mall today.

    Only thing that ive been playing for like the past week.

    I have to say the best thing is getting the Barret and shooting at helicopter pilots while they try to cap a point by hovering over it. No one ever expects that.......
