Well, now I'm pretty set on the assault tree for unlocks, but I can't decide on which branch.

I'm liking the Baur because it seems a lot like a g3 in all respects, and has the shotty and mini-rpg in the same tree. Speaking of shotties and mini-rpgs, how good are they? Worth taking my eys off the Voss and back to the Baur tree?

Recently, though, I've seen people spouting about how good the Voss is. Is there a weapon in bf2 to compare it to? Or in the demo? From what I've heard it is a carbine type rifle with a large clip and good damage/round. That has shifted my views to the medic side of the Assault tree.

What are your opinions on them? Pros/Cons would be appreciated.

the Assault weapons arent much of an improvement over the stock weapons, especially with accuracy.

I used the Baur in B1 and the Voss in B2. I still prefer stocks

Just unlock them both an 2 separate accounts and see for yourself. It shouldn't take more than a few hours to unlock them both on fresh accounts.

Good to know. Now I'm going to stick with my initial plan to just unlock as many explosives as I can with the early unlocks.

I like the Baur over the Voss. The shotty unlock isn't all that good. 3 shots before you have to reload, and it's really weak. The launcher, on the other hand, is pretty useful, especially when trying to clear enemies at the end of halls in the titan, or just far away period. Would recommend unlocking the baur, then getting the defib and advanved med hub.

I tried the Baur out a few times in the second beta, it was fine and all, but just not for me.

The Voss, I could write pages on how good that thing is, but suffice to say that it's very very good.

The Baur is very much like the G3, and personally I like it more than the Voss. Still, that 40 bullet magazine for the Voss is tempting.
In the Alpha test, when you attached both the shotgun and the missiles to a gun they fed off the same ammo supply, (e.g. you fired a missile, switched to shotgun and found that one of your shots were missing.) I alerted the powers that be, so no doubt that'll be fixed in the Demo already, (not that there are unlocks - in the full version then.)

The shotgun was made incredibly powerful for the Alpha test, I'm sure they would have toned it down a bit. The Support shotgun is at the moment very much like the shotgun attachment, so I reckon they'll 'nerf' the attachment, (from the Alpha, not the Beta,) and keep the unlock gun the same.

Oh, and for clarification, you can use each attachment on any assault gun - if you so wish you can attach both shotgun and launcher to the any of the assault guns.

That's cool, I just hope they make the shotty attachment better than it was in the beta. I tried using it, but I couldn't kill anyone, especially with just 3 shots.
I used the Baur + the missiles and then the defib.

Oo, question time for Ty

In the beta when you used the shotgun or rocket attachment you had to pull the standard assault rifle for that side out even if you where using the Baur or Voss, has this been changed at all?

no, but you have to unlock them like trees.

the cool part is you can mix and match. So you can have the shotgun and the rocket launcher on say, the Voss, if your an assault player.

I got all the assault stuff in the beta and both trees are good. The Voss reminds me of the L85A1: good at long and point-blank range but kinda sucks medium range. The Baur-H is basically the future G3, but its kinda wierd. When using the scope it has a lot of kick so your better off not using it; but this means long range shots are harder. So it really comes down to what you like more: pure assault or medic. I will be getting the medic tier and shotgun attachment until I get some stuff for the other kits.

That's cool, I just hope they make the shotty attachment better than it was in the beta. I tried using it, but I couldn't kill anyone, especially with just 3 shots.
I used the Baur + the missiles and then the defib.

Shotty owned in the beta, empty a clip then pull the shotgun out and you can get a lot of kills. I've killed many a knifer at silo 5; needless to say I didn't give up my dogtags easily

I'm pretty sure this is by design. The weapons are listed as using the same universal ammunition.
