BF2S Forums MK3A1 Jackhammer or the PKM?

The Jackhammer and DAO (i kick myself every day for getting a DAO as my second unlock) are only useful in Strike at Karkand. Thats it. No other map really has any use for them, as they just get outranged. And they can only kill one person at a time anyway due to the long reload time which makes you end up switching to pistol and dying.

Yes they are very fun, which is why i got the DAO originally. However, it soon wears off when you dont get any points. Just play MEC or pick one up if you feel the urge for an auto shotgun.

You my friend, are insane..

The DAO is brilliant! Sure I dont use it often but I can handle it in ANY map.
Just use your rocket launcher for long distances .
Believe me, the DAO is good in every map!

All you need to do is Know your gun, Feel your gun, Beeee your gun

PKM, I upgraded it when i reached sgt, and its a monster no other way to describe it.

Two words.  Don't miss.  I'm yet to get into a close quarters situation with the DAO where I'm against two guys that I can't take them both out and sometimes even soften up a 3rd so i can finish him off with a pistol.  And not for nothing, but if you don't have a long range weapon, don't get into long range fire fights...that's the whole point to learning how to effectively use different kits.

And sewermasta:
In my experience, there is zero difference between what one shot from the M24 or M95 does to infantry units.  If - a big IF - there is a difference, it ultimately doesn't matter because if there's not headshot, either rifle requires two shots to kill.  The glass piercing capability is the only real difference between the two.  There may be some difference in effective range, but there's not documentation on bullet drop for BF2.

I would unlock pkm , it's much better

If you haven't already decided I would go with the jackhammer. The M95 is the same as the m24 with the exception of being able to shoot through glass and the pkm really isn't much different from the saw. I've found the pkm to be unpredictable.. sometimes I'll lay waste to everyone in a few rounds and sometimes I'll go prone and empty 20 rounds into someone running straight at me only to watch the bullets fly wide on every shot completely missing the center of the screen.... It really depends on which class you prefer. I lean towards engineer cause I like blowing stuff up but it's entirely up to you which class you prefer. Personally I love the usmc engineer weapon, the m11-87 can absolutely own ppl if you're adept at timing your runs and aiming to kill. There's not a more powerful close range weapon in the game than the pump.

I say PKM. The PKM is a pretty nasty killing machine. The pump OWNS the jackoffhammer, the only time I ever even use the jackoffhammer is when I'm MEC because their auto shotty is about equally as shiity. Pumps own that thing so bad. Plus, when you fire the jackoffhammer, it feels so laggy. The recoil I mean, it's like *shoot* *wonder if you shot* *gun magically makes you aim 3 inches higher instantly* *by this time the guy killed you, when if you had a pump its BOOM *pump* BOOM *pump* BOOM, not BOOM *uhhhh lag* *death*
