With all the new players, and new lance corps, I'm sure many players faced with the task of picking the best unlock are asking the same question... "Which one?"
The favorites of the hard core players are the G3(medic - international use AR), L85A1 (assault - british AR), and the M95(sniper - .50 barrett).
I have a preference for the M95. I'm curious of the preferences and advantages/disadvantages of the other unlocks.
Anyone care to advise from experience?

You're first unlock comes at 1000 global points, the second at 10000, then at 25000(?), then 50000.
After you reach these marks, you are given an option to unlock one of the packs.

you got the assault and medic unlocks backwards. the g3 = assault and L85 = medic.
i've had the opportunity to use every single unlockable weapon in the game (best way to do it is pay attn to what weapon the guy you just killed was using and take his kit bag) and i'm kind of a gun nut so here's my opinion about the unlocks.
the basic idea is whichever kit you use the most, you should pick the unlock for that kit. they're all tailored to the duties and situations that each kit tends to find itself in.
when i hit lance corporal, i accidentally grabbed the DAO-12 shotgun for the anti-tank kit as my unlock. it's a 12 round, 12 gauge revolver with a short barrel, and it will fire about as fast as you can press fire. it's spread makes it completely useless at more than 10 feet. but it will absolutely slaughter the guy that snuck up on you while you were firing a rocket at a tank. if you're damn good and lucky, you can kill 5 people with it before you have to reload. after you've used up all 12 rounds, though, you have to load all 12 rounds up again. one by one.
my next unlock will probably be the g3 for assault. it's a fully automatic assault rifle that fires the 7.62mm NATO round, and it is very, very accurate. the recoil makes full auto a bit excessive, and it only has a 20 round magazine, so you run out of ammo fast. the firerate is not nearly as fast as an m4 or even an AK, but it serves it's purpose. after all, who could control 700rpm with the recoil of a 7.62.
the main thing about the g3 is that it will kill with two shots to the chest. it's a fast, powerful sniper rifle that can be used in CQB, unlike the m24. the downside is that you do not get a grenade launcher with the g3, you get frags instead.
if i don't grab the g3 it'll be because i grabbed the g36e for special ops. a very similar weapon to the g3 (same manufacturer), with a shorter barrel, higher firerate, almost NO RECOIL, and fires a 5.56mm round. also very accurate. you can get very tight burst patterns at mid range even from a standing position. makes it real easy to get up from cover and kill a guy before getting back under cover.
the biggest advantage that the g36e has over the g3 is that it's for the special ops kit. so you still get your c4 and longer sprinting, for a tradeoff of firepower and armor (and the one smoke grenade).
that leaves the L85 for medics, M95 for snipers, PKM for support, and MK3 Jackhammer shotgun for engineers.
the L85 is a 5.56 assault rifle with 25 round magazines, a high zoom rate on it's scope, and absolutely insane accuracy. i don't like it very much because of the scope. if a guy pops around a corner at close to mid range you don't have much chance of getting him in your sights. your only hope is to get close and spray, and then the smaller clip gets in your way. but if you're a hardcore medic, then by all means, get the L85.
the PKM is just a 7.62mm machinegun. very much like the RPK but with more power and a slower speed. and terrible accuracy.
the MK3 jackhammer is a full auto shotgun with 7 round drum magazines that take forever to swap out. i hate it. but it does beat the other engineer shotugns...
and finally, we have the M95 Barret. firing the .50 Cal BMG round, this is THE most powerful rifle in the entire game. it will kill in one chest shot. it will penetrated bulletproof glass, ie aircraft cockpits and hummer windows. so you can kill pilots before they even have a chance to take off. they took a couple features of the real one out of the game because it would simply be too gay if they left them in. for instance, in real life, the barrets are semi-automatic, they force bolt-action in BF2. it's still the ultimate sniper weapon.
so like i said, pick whichever one goes with your favorite kit. they're all deadly in the hands of a professional. you just have to figure out what your specialty is.

yeah!! rock on us hardcore medics!!!! with out us you would all be nothing... but then again s'pose when a medic finds a tank anti tank r pretty cool.... :/
this could bring the question of best pack which is entirley down to preference.
And on the note about close range fighting with L85, pull out knife (or preferably shock paddles XD) and stick to there face! simple and quick and knife is silent... ninja medic...

I dont have alot to say about it....I was torn between the G36c and the G3....I stuck with my G36c because of the C4...so I hope this helps....the G36c is extremely stable...Like the previous guy said...its no prob to keep extremely tight groups on full auto....only drawback...you go through ammo quickly

" you got the assault and medic unlocks backwards. the g3 = assault and L85 = medic. " truff, my bad.
"it will kill in one chest shot." in reference to the m95, it will kill 1 head shot, and 2 chest shots from full hp, a normal shot from an m95 to the chest will leave the target with 2 bars of hp. That is the gun that i unlocked and i love it. I've gotten 4 heli kills with it so far, and 1 was a double kill because the m95 does actually do damage to the heli if shot into a heli cockpit.

i'm pretty sure the m95 will do it in one chest shot as long as they don't have body armor. like i said, they kind of dumbed it down from the real life version of the weapon. the real one has 10 round magazines, is semi-auto, and will kill in one arm or leg shot, because it will blow that limb right off.

i hate that a .50 hits a body and they still live, i mean, comon, its an anti air caliber round. maybe if we complain enough EA will fix that.
I've been hit by m95 rounds as a sniper, snipers dont have armor, and i still had 2 bars of hp.

i've been having probs with m95 hs killing, i think the hitbox favors the top of the head, because that's where i get the kills.

when you get enough points in game, it says you have been promoted and tells everyone in the server. but if you don't finish out the round, it won't upload your score to the stats server.
to actually get promoted on the BFHQ screen and get your unlock, you have to sign out of your BF2 account and log back in. as soon as you do, you get promoted and you pick your ONE unlock for the level.
starting over to get another unlock is stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you have to sign into a different account every time you want to switch! and you'll never be able to be the commander because everyone will eventually outrank you. and you'll never get invited into the good squads if your rank isn't up.

I am still fairly new to the game, so maybe someone can help me. How do you pick up the kits of the people you have killed? Say you did kill someone with the M35 does that mean you get to use it the rest of the time you're alive or does it become a part of your arsonel perminently?

When i got lance corp i unlocked the g3, this was a mistake for it is not much better than the regular assaut rifles. Its very power full but i find it to be to in accurate and two small of a clip. Also with the G3 you lose your barrel mounted grenade launcher witch sortof defeats the purpose of assault other than the extra armor. You can unlock the Medic gun (was my second unlock) and you get better sprint, grenades, all the medic stuff and one hell of a gun, in full auto mode you can mow down close enemies or in single fire mode you can pick them off at a distance just like a sniper, granted it takes a shot or two more then a sniper rifle but what can you expect? you can heal revive frag and snipe your enemy, anything more would be cheating...
The only other unlock i would consider "GOOD" would be the M95, more power and the ability to knock pilots out of choppers is awsome.
just my 2 cents take em or leave em.

in response to swat:
the key allows you to pick up ur dead apponents pack and you can, in fact, pick up an unlockable pack. The pack you pick up, you get to keep until you die, or you can change it for another pack. GL and happy fragging.
