I only use unlocks when I'm on usmc, I hate all the usmc guns (except for the m249 SAW, and the engi shotgun)
If its a sniper war on JaLoLurBad I use the m16 on single shot, just because its a monster at long range.

Yeah. The 'unlocks are for noobs' argument is just one more thing for people to fasten onto to bitch about.

You can get so used to hearing this how ludicrous it actually is doesn't really hit home, but imagine if someone were dominating in the palace on Warlord with the AK-101 and one of the Brits complained that "Default weapons are for noobs!" That makes just as little sense as the reverse statment.

actually the L96A1 just has more accuracy a little less damage than the M24 and the M24 just does more damage...
Same accuracy, in terms of the bullets themselves. The different scope just makes it easier for many people to aim at difficult hiding targets (hiding behind cover like artillery legs) and at very long ranges.

Same damage.

Technically, your still wrong. The only difference is that the M95 can pierce bulletproof glass/fences in game.
The M95 and the two other bolt-action rifles do different damage to armoured infantry classes: takes them down to 2 bars, instead of 40% like the M24 and L96A1. All three do the same damage to unarmoured infantry classes.

anyone who doesnt think unlocks (expecially ones you have to pay extra money for) arent any better than the default guns are in serious denial.

you can still be good... and use unlocks... but no matter what.. unlocks give you an advantage...its not only common sense that if you pay for an expansion youll get better weapons... but just from using them.. they are rediculous.

loooooooooooool sorry gotta disagree there just because you paye for the add on packs doesnt mean any weapons you get with them are better then the standard guns .

I will say again each and every gun is better in a different situation thats all theres hardly any power difference or accuarcey difference between .At the end of the who really gives a fuck if somebody moans at you for useing guns you earnt .Imho just play the game and iggy the others moaning and just have fun .

Incorrect.  The M95 does more damage.  Look here: http://www.pixelwebgroup.com/temp/bf2/b … owall=true

The M95 does 190 damage, the M24 (and L96A1) do 95.  The M95 is additionally limited in never taking more than 95% of a human targets health.

What this means is not only can the M95 penetrate glass, fences, and so on, but the guns do different damage to targets depending on body armour.  A chest shot with an M24 against a body-armour wearing target takes off 60% of their health.  The M95 is doing so much damage that it takes of it's maximum allowed of 95% regardless of health.

The damage it can do over and above 95% of a human still matters.  That 190 damage means that the M95 is also quite capable of damaging vehicles.  Anyone who's used the M95 for a while will have stories about how they shot down smoking helicopters and so on.  Hell, if a chopper pilot can't find you, you could just keep pumping shots into him until he dies.  A hit on an attack helicopter with the M95 does between 5 and 10% of its health (You can take two bars of health, out of twenty, if you hit an AH-class chopper in the weakpoint, which is its cockpit).

The damage numbers are NOT the same, and it can matter.  They appear the same when targetting humans, particularly unarmoured ones, but if you're trying to pick up pistol kills, use the M95, since one body hit will leave teh guy on 5% health whether he's got armour or not.  (Attempting to pistol an assault or support trooper when he's still got 40% of his health is a dangerous prospect....)

I dont use unlocks thanks to matchplay, and it doesn't bother me when when people use them tbh.
The ak 101/47 are easily the most versatile guns in the game while the m16 is the same as g36, just with a slower rate of fire.  If they're there people have the right to use them, and they arn't overall different from the defaults.

IMO clan players that play matches can tuse unlocks in matches, therfore when pubbing, they use the std weapons to gain exp. in using them.

i can be a tad annoying when ur getting pwned by an unlocked weapon, but lets be honest whos to say that if the dude had a std weapon, he might be pwning u just as hard.

for the record, i dont use unlocks as a rule, but now and again if i get pissed off enough i bring out my dao-12

No matter what you use, people will always call you and me a n00b for some reason.

If it is not for using the unlocks, then it will be for:
Sniping,

FFs the unlock are no better than the standard weapons!!!

ALL OF THE WEAPONS HAVE GOOD AND BAD POINT!!!

Just depends which suits you, the AK101 if quickly turning into my fav weapon!, but when im PLA or USMC I use the L85A1, why because I can't kill anything with the M16 or AK47.

You pay money for the expansion pack for the new levels and extension to the game play, the unlocks are nice to have, but they are purely alternative's, not a advantage.

"Oh choice is a advantage" well use your advantage of choice and choose a strategy that doesn't get ya killed!.

To sum a few things up.

Several of the unlocks are decidedly easier to use than standard weapons. This doesn't mean they're "Better" but I'd love to see someone deny that the G36E can go head to head with literally any other weapon in the game. Most guns have a distinct disadvantage when up against another kit and a player of similar skill, while the G36E can be used by just about anyone with decent success.


Now, another reason that he may have called you a "noob" for using unlocks, is the fact that unlocks aren't allowed in league or tournament play. They're strictly used in public matches, which mean nothing to someone who's in a league. The problem with this logic is that many people don't play leagues, and their public games DO mean something to them. He has a point, but not a strong enough one to convince anybody because in his opinion everyone should think exactly like him, and there should only be league rules in every public server.

It's also been common knowledge throughout FPS history that the "pubbers" are a bunch of noobs who can't stand up to the skill of league players...at least in their eyes, so they take great offense to being killed in a way that they couldn't be killed during a league game.


Hope that sheds a little light.

So all of the tier-two unlocks are better than all of the tier-one unlocks, which are better than all of the standard guns?

Sweeping generalisations almost always tend to be wrong in some particulars; this one is no different

Depends on the class. I mean seriously, the AKs are hard to beat for close-up power (and they're not too shabby at range either) even I can do pretty well with one and I suck with assault rifles and iron sights.

Another example: obviously the M95 is a step up in certain ways from the SVD or the Type 88 because of the higher damage and improved scope magnification, but for many the M24 is the superior sniper's choice, particularly if you're good at headshots, and that's a default gun.

You want to talk about imbalance, there's some built right into the game: MEC v. USMC you've got snipers on one side with the SVD facing snipers armed with the M24 on the other; no contest at range. Up close and personal you've got assault and medics using the AK-101 (full auto and one of the most powerful assault rifles) facing the M16 (burst fire only, much lower damage).

So, I smoke him again, running across the same bridge. "lol, kick this n00b!1!!1"

What? If you look at the stats, the M24 is the same as the L96A1. Was this guy pissed that I was pwning him? Or do unlocks really make you an immature twelve-year-old boy eating chips and spilling soda all over his keyboard somewhere in Minnesota?

but my fav is the ak101 because its looks so cool
nah man M16A2 is the best. And i just recently just figured that. I love the M16A2 now.

Edit: I'll add more.

On paper, the L96 is practically the M24, with only a faster reload time. Ask a seasoned sniper and he'll let you know its much easier to take shots with, because of the thinner crosshairs. Some say its harder to hit moving targets than with any other rifle, but that can be over come.

Basically, it is the M24, with a different scope, faster reload, and a badass sound.
Well, i would still prefer the M24 over L9, because i aim easier with it. I can hit a running target with the 24, but not with the L9
