BF2S Forums How do you guys play with the Engineer kit??

Shotguns - close range = win
Engy + armour = win

all you do is play karkand, get in armor, and play with the defualt shotgun?? hmm wat about mines and the mp7?

What about the MP7?

Is that gun any good? I mean, is it worth my two unlocks? (i dont have the jackhammer yet)

While im in the mood of asking questions, how does the bf2s karma system work?

ok thanks a lot for that

Yeah, the Engineer should spend most of his time in a tank, prefereably with another Engineer in another tank nearby, so that you can constantly repair one another.

Having said that, Engineer is my most played kit because of the weapons.  The pump-shotguns and the MP7 are awesome in close-combat.  I don't like the semi-auto shotties as much (S12K and Jackhammer) because they don't kill in a single hit like the pumps do, and they have horrible recoil.  I like the MP7 because it has a crazy rate of fire, and a nice big magazine.  Very useful in places like Warlords palace where you often need to spray down a hallway and kill a couple of people.  Plus, it sounds cool.  Not a must-have weapon, but I'd get it before the following:  SCAR-L, F2000, MG36 and, if it were only possible, the Jackhammer (which is a pile of crap, in my opinion).

Give the pump-shotguns a go.  Run around tight infantry maps and train yourself up in reflex shooting, all you have to do is aim for the centre of the target and then click before he does, and you win.  He has to get a head-shot for insta-kills, the Engineer doesn't.  It takes a bit of practice to get used to the pump-shotguns, but once you do they are the outright best weapons for CQB.

If you're after a way of raking in lots of points as Engineer, stay in a tank.  But remember that the Engineer is one of the most team-play orientated of the kits.  Use your mines to funnel enemy vehicles in the direction you want them, and keep your teams valuable vehicles like tanks and APCs, and your commanders tools, fully operational and you'll have contributed more to your team winning than the guys who racked up loads of points by resupplying people as Support.

thanks for all the help guys.

by the way, i have 4 unlocks left (two promo's) and i am missing both assault and engineer. Would it be worth me getting my next two unlocks on engineer at 20k points?

If it wasn't for the fact that your last pair of unlocks take forever to earn, I'd say yes, get the two engineer unlocks.  But, the haul from 1st Sergeant to Sgt. Major is enormous.  If I were you I'd get the G3 and the Jackhammer, or the G3 and the F2000.  You really want to have the G3, because it's a very different weapon to the stock Assault weapons, being both accurate and powerful at the same time.  The Jackhammer, while I don't personally like it, can be fun.  If you want to add variety to your kits, get one from each.  If you just want to focus on one, get the Assault weapons;  The Engineer should spend most of his time in a vehicle anyway, so the Assault trooper will get most benefit from the unlocks, especially the G3.

i just played two rounds, and i never not once managed to get into any armor, plus my score was like 21 at the end of trying hard witht the pump shotgun? am i doing something worng? or just need to brush up on my skills.?
