What to unlock?

The shotgun is a nice little weapon but I like to fight at long range too, so its a gun I dont use very much, useful on titan maps I guess though.

Claymores, well we all know how annoying they can be, but again very useful for defending titans.

Support, well the unlock guns I personally think, are total wank.

Engineer is currently my path, I need to unlock that Pilum so I can stop that darn Ronathan and Eagle Bill in there walkers!!!

So far I’ve got to say I find the Recon more useful than any of the others, the support tree is wank. I’ve found that with it’s semi wank assault weapon but you get the apm mine and the c4.
I usually find in a decent round(titan) I can kill maybe 10-15 with one load of ammo. Obviously more if you have a ammo guy next to you.

After that Assault and the Voss is the way to go for me it’s pretty much a point and click and die gun. All the rest are wank.

The Pilum I find is a pretty cool gun usefull for taking out those pesky guys in the tanks and aircraft.

We leave messy stuff to the plebes. You peasants need us noble nabobs to guide and lead you, otherwise you would just be rabble cannon fodder 😛

For any class you play, you do want the NetBatHat unlocked. If the hat comes after a crap unlock I don’t want, i wait until I have 2 unlocks and then do them both together… It just feels better that way :oops:.

The things I’ve aimed for are, in no particular order (ie I can’t remember the order) : –

Recon: APM’s, RDX, Active Camo, HatBatNetWhat, Lambert Carbine.

Arsault: Reviver, Medikit upgrade, NetWhatBatHat, Smoke nade, Voss (called the “Voss” because that’s as much of “Was ist das?” as you’ll be able to think before you die).

EasyMode(TM): Turret, WhatBatNetHat, EMP nade, Ammo Crate upgrade. I have the People Detector but it never seems to work for me after the first time I used it. Don’t get it at all… Maybe it only detects hetero enemies.

During a map, I’ll chop and change my kit (on the rare occasion I die…) to deal with the next exigency.

Pilum ftw. AT-AA weapon should be better once they fix it after the latest patch.

The Pilum is the daddy.

Side step a tank and watch the driver get out and run for his life in the knowledge that one round anywhere near his arse will make it grass.

Stand firm as that gunship comes head on in a starfing run – one round will bring him to ground.

Hold your place as that APC races at you, two well placed rounds and he’ll be blown in space.

And er think I’ll stop there as I reach the limit of my poetic ability 😀

I think there’s no getting round the fact you have to get some crap unlocks before getting your hands on the decent stuff. My preferred combos at the moment:

Recon: invisible cloak, RDX and Lambert Carbine – essential for attacking titans. Haven’t touched the other recon unlock path (scope etc) as snipers are loners who like to lie in the grass and play with themselves. And thats not a healthy lifestyle choice.

Assault: Voss, defib and rockets. I’ve seen the light with the assault rocket unlock. Very useful once you master it. The shotty is useless. Unless you do headshots you will be lucky to come out of a 1 on 1 situation alive. 3 shells is not enough.

Engy: the Pilum, EMP mines and motion mines for the deadliest combo.

Support: Clark shotty, Sentry bot and EMP grens. EMP grenades are possibly the best defence against walkers as even with the plum its a struggle to take them down without some suitably placed motion mines to help or a suicide mission to place the plum in the walkers poop shute. Drop a ammo box and you can spam emps at walkers until the driver gives up or the thing explodes. Not normally approve of spamming anything in BF but doing it to walkers is the exception.

Squad leader – get the UAV drone. Its v useful for finding & hunting down enemy stragglers when you take flags. Much more use that the gun drone.
