I was looking at my soldier's overview, and I noticed that a well-sized box contained all the important info. So, I decided to make a thread where you post your Battlelog soldier, and maybe discuss them.
What I do not want to see, however, is flaming due to preferred weapons.
Save that for people using the (as of writing) glitched M26 MASS.
For possibly adding a bit of discussion value, I'll talk about my top weapons.
#1: Knife. Because I'm a ninja, and I also use my knife a whole lot in open combat. It's also a great way to make sure the enemy actually dies in a way shooting at them cannot.
#2: 870MCS. Because I'm a Pointman by heart, I just love that gun. It's great, no matter the attachments you put on it, or the ammo you use. All changing them does is slightly change the effective range, and how you use it, not really how effective it is. Even the (currently) questionably effective Frag-12 rounds. Great for killing using C4 and other (even enemy) equipment, and killing without LoS. Also causes great suppression, keeping you out of the danger zone even when they're shooting right at you.
#3: USAS-12. I'm not going to feel embarrassed that that's not only in my top ten, but my top three. It's not necessarily overpowered, it's just very powerful. Because that's what it's supposed to be like. You don't see people killing you across the map in TDM with it. If they are, you're a moron for standing still in the open while they empty their entire extended magazine into you. Or, if they're using slugs, the weapon suddenly takes much more skill, and even luck, to use than a sniper rifle, which is traditionally a "pro" weapon.
#4: T.44 Magnum. My favorite sidearm. Only works, for some reason, when I play as Support. But, that isn't really a problem. Most people use only the version with a PK-A scope on it when they unlock it. Me? I HATE the version with a scope. With a fiery passion. Besides, I hit more often and at longer ranges without the bloody scope. Which is kind of ironic, when you think about.
#5: DAO-12. A recent hard hitter. I never really used it pre-patch, and it still sucked post-patch. But, I decided to experiment with it. I finally found a set of attachments I like: American Red Dot sight, Flash Suppressor, and Flechette ammo. I don't use it the way everyone else does, which seems to make it one-shot people at longer ranges than the 870MCS; but I do lay down a constant stream of shotvolver fire until they eventually die. Also, I actually aim my Goddamn shotguns, instead of only hipfiring like everyone else seems to. Just, F-Y-I.
Also, just for fun, I'll talk about some other things. Yay?
I am using every weapon until I get service star. So far, I only need a few pistols, the Javelin, and the Stinger/Igla.
Fun fact: I got a service star for the FAMAS, pre-patch, before I actually even owned B2K, just because I looted it from enemies. It was that overpowered.
Fun fact: I have enough kills with my MAV, that if there were service stars for it, I would almost have one. Just five more kills.
Fun fact: I kill people by using parkour a lot more than they would like to admit.
Fun fact: I kill people with grenades by throwing it in the air (even randomly) than I do by throwing them at people.
Fun fact: You unlock the M9/MP443 for both factions when you get a service star for it. Yay?
Fun fact: I hate (most) semi-automatic sniper rifles, even when I try to use them in a Pointman/Marksman role.
Fun fact: I actually do like the M39EMR for the aforementioned Pointman/Marksman roles.
Fun fact: I've earned one of every ribbon.
Fun fact: I've earned a total of 103 medals.
Fun fact: Assuming that I didn't miscount, or forget some, I have a total of 131 service stars, counting everything (vehicles, weapons, soldiers)
