and can sometimes eat 1 more bullet before dying

Assistant writer of the aforementioned guide here. Just like to point out that its 3 bullets more against Spec ops, 2 more against SMGs, and 2-3 more against assault rifles. It makes the difference between living and dying. And theres always so many medics around, you dont need to be a medic to heal yourself.

Not sure where you are getting your information, and yes I was exaggerating to make a point... but:

G3 - 1 extra
G36C - 2 extra
G36E - 1 extra
PKM - 1 extra
MP7 - 2 extra

As for the point about medics, that really depends on who you're playing with. No one can say they've always had a medic there to heal/revive them.

Anyways, if we're touting the extra 25 health as a reason to be Assault, what reason do you have to use Assault over Support, other than the ability to snipe at medium-long range?

Point taken. I will reserve future opinions on how badly the assault kit sucks to myself.

30 hours. Trying to put time in all the kits, some are harder to warrant the time spent than others.

And for what it's worth, it's a good guide.

Edit: Oh, and I only have lots of time in medic and sniper because they are good kits to use in sprinting to the planes. :-/ You'll notice all the heavy armor kits have less time than the light armor kits, coincidence? No.

Good morning everyone. I've seen lots of assault players using smokes and flashes before I came to school

Same, the G3 really is a good weapon. Shame it doesn't get an extra 30 rounds/GL like the AK47, which (i think) is the best Assault rifle in the game. They all have their uses though. One note: The G36E is easier to use than a pre1.22 PKM. 'Nuff said?

Nice guide. Coming from a 'True' Assault player (obviously there are better out there but still) i agree with alot you said, plus i learnt some stuff too. About it (this guide) getting less recognition, it's becuase the BF2 community is very Sniper/Medic/n00b classes orientated. Something that won't really change. It's sad in a way but oh well.

w00t!!! Thanks Duk0r and all those that have contributed to this!

Good guide, though I strongly disagree with you're M16A2 section, and the G3.  The G3 is not a god, and it truly is a matter of opinion of what the best assault rifle is.  (20 round clip, no GL?)

I <3 Support

I too hate the term n00b. And pr0n. Pr0n is rubbish grow some balls and say porn...........

My effort is not worn out yet, if im not feeling good tomorrow ill put another guide up

Very nice guide...
though I disagree about the tube being noob-resistant...
I've used it and, yes, it is slightly harder to use but nothing overly difficult.

Somebody said that 50% of players play using a sniper kit.
Most of those playing as snipers are noobs and that's why you say assault can take them out.
Assault is good for CQB I suppose but the AT kit's DAO-12 and the Engie kits are better suited for CQB.
Longrange-wise, assault is ok depending on the weapon, but snipers/meds outdo any assault weapon while the P90 on the AT side has decent CQB dmg and rate of fire packed along with a single shot scoped shot selection making it even with the assault.

In the end, the assault kit only has a few advantages: smoke, flash, and tube.
Smoke doesn't do that much and if you're at a distance you can see through some of the smoke.
Flashbangs are probably the best part the assault kit if you're F2000.
The tube is just a one hit kill/high dmg weapon; it's the easiest thing to use in CQB and in midrange, it doesn't take much practice to master it which is what makes it cheap.
if you're a MEC med, you have the AK-101 and medpacks which makes being a med on MEC better than assault. If you're a US med you have the G36E which is basically the M16 except better and you still have the medpacks.
The only good think about assault when compared to meds is the armor, the flashbangs/smokes, and the tube.
Meds usually aren't suppose to be in the  very front of the frontline as they sorta stick behind people and heal them though sometimes meds to go on rampages and they do work. My point is that medic kits have the guns to allow them to pick off targets and heal at the same time which makes them better.
I'm not saying it's not fun to be assault; heck, when i get tired of being point farmed, I tube people, but overall, the other kits are still better.

Assault is good for CQB I suppose but the AT kit's DAO-12 and the Engie kits are better suited for CQB.

The AKs and the G3 still kill faster than the shotguns at close range (with the possible exception of the pump actions, but if you don't get a good enough hit you're toast). With a shotgun, I find myself lacking in range in anything but the closest fights.

The only good think about assault when compared to meds is the armor

Makes a big difference though, especially against engineers, spec-ops, and M249/Type 95 gunners.

Hoooray Assault! I can't tell you how many times an assult player has saved my AT butt from a knife in the back. Thank you for all those men and wemon out their saving my hide W/ the G3
