its gotten to the point where i just dont know what to unlock next. and my next rank up is another 1000 pts, so i want to choose this one wisely.

first choice is to unlock the SD8 Accipter (Flying gun drone)...i have the first 2 squad leader unlocks unlocked already...so i could get that puppy right away if i wanted to. but i have heard mixed reviews on it.

the second would be the claymore...altho i can just unlock those easily with a field upgrade, and i have no interest in unlocking the pimped out sniper rifle. this would be the only unlock i would get on this tree other than possibly the 4x scope, as ive heard the stabilizer is kind of ****.

my other choice is to work towards unlocking the A12 sentry drone, but id have to start at the bottom, as i dont even have the emp grenade unlocked yet. and i dont really want to get teh ganz HMG, as ive heard that it is crap.

my other choice is to work towards the Pilum AVR, but again, i havent even started unlocking that tree yet.

last but certainly not least is the Clark shotgun. i like the look and sound of this focker, but again, id have to start at the bottom of the tree as i havent started yet....but unlocking it gets me the Advanced ammo hub and shield.

so which one would you guys recommend?

You've gotta start at the bottom of a tree eventually. I'd go for either the Pilum or the Clark.

Depends on what you like to do the most.

Out of all of those I'd go for either claymore or the Clark. That thing is a beast.

Pilum AVR is the most leet piece of weaponry I've unlocked yet, and I've just unlocked it today. And I have quite a few unlocks.

If you do sniping, the 4x scope is a must.
The A12 sentry drone is awesome, especially in the titan. The support shield is useful, especially in the titan combined with the drone - drop a drone in front of the shield, and prone behind the shield in a corridor, this makes you almost unkillable. The EMP nades come in useful, mostly to help out engi's or vehicles take out other vehicles.
I'm almost at the Pilum, and have heard good things about it, but the defuser is kinda useless, not sure about the vehicle ID or vehicle radar, since I've just got them.

Overall though, I'd recommend going for the A12 sentry drone tree, but don't unlock the ganz.

Well, I can answer all your questions about the weapons (in a way, that is). Just check out post number 22 of the following topic: http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?id=50386

That should give you an answer about unlocking the weapons. As for the other stuff, just try the stuff out with your field upgrades and don't listen to everyone else's opinion about the stuff (half the time it's completely wrong).

Bullshit. that thing is the sex when it comes to defusing AMP mines at the mouth of the titan hallways. Helluva lot better than actually dying and having to have a medic revive you.

i think its down to either working my way towards the sentry drone or the clark shotgun...

on one hand the sentry would be bloody useful in many situations. but i really dislike the standard support weapons, and usually stay away from that kit because im not a fan of the shuko or whatever the hell it is. cant hit f*ck all for that.lol

thats why im diggin the clark. good old shotgun pwnage is always good. plus the close quarters pin is an added bonus...

hard hard decision

or on a totally different note, what about unlocking the Voss L-AR? i have the baur and it pwns, but the 20 round clip leaves me with my nuts out in the cold a lot of the time in CQB. i have the resucitator or whatever they call it already unlocked.

As a person who has unlocked complete Recon class unlocks, let me say something about the sniper tree. If you are going to be sniping a long distance, but you do not want the Zeller-H (I don't understand why you don't want this if you are going to snipe), and you get field upgrade often, get until 4x Scope. You will be able to use stabilizer with field upgrade.

The thing about stabilizer is that when you are zoomed in, you have to press SHIFT to activate it. However, you stabilize your aim only for about 2 seconds (estimate, haven't had a timer with me to get exact numbers) maximum. If you used that 2 seconds, it takes two seconds for it to charge up. However, if you have a fast aim, you can use it for like a 0.25~0.75 seconds to aim and shoot, it only takes 0.25~0.75 seconds to be able to use it again.

Hope this helped you in someway in decision making about sniper tree.

the defuser has saved my ass alot! in the titan, recon spams clays, the defuser has a very wide range, so it takes out all the gaymores. now the vehicle radar is good to toss on you tank as you drive, or on the gunship. it sticks to any surface, so when "dog fighting" it is your own personal radar.

Get the sentryt drone. It kicks ass and the people talking smack about the ganz don't know how to use it.

Why don't you try it out on singleplayer?
