My Favourite setup atm is the

SCAR-L Carbine (3,200 Engineer)
Fully automatic and highly mobile.

with the red sight.
This thing puts the enemy on their arse quick smart.

I also like the

Damage - 9/22
Accuracy - 10/22

M60 + red dot + marksman perk = win

RPG (or the carl) + explosion x2 perk + explosives x2 = lots of very pissed off opponents... its the BC equivalent of noobtubes... oh and carry a submachine of your liking for close range shooting...

AN94 + 4x scope + magnum ammo = the win

GOL + mortar + 12x scope + magnum ammo for long range sniping
VSS + c4 + red dot + magnum ammo for close quarters

NS2000 = uber deadly shotty
M14 is decent for short to medium range, but really needs to be able to use scope attachments for long range shots
S20K or USAF12 are still pretty deadly auto shotties though.

.

how do u get those perks? & where do we select them? i wanna blow up stuff!

[Mysterio3]

those perks unlock at higher levels. but just about everything in this game gets unlocked before lvl 25 anyways... which is fairly early on considering the game goes to lvl50+

[maggot_bag]

i'm around Lv9 atm. i've got the perk to carry explosives x2. but not the perk for bigger 'explosions' yet.

[Mysterio3]

yeah... i used the m60 to lvl up... it's amazing how fast you gain exp when you keep getting hs even though you're aiming at the torso =]
especially in HC mode... one shot in the torso + another in the head from a m60 is enough to kill.... and best part is, the m60 has enough recoil to do this in one burst
