Love the Famas for the Spec Ops side. As for Insurgents still switching around between the FAL and the M4(?).

DK2 for me on the spec ops for primary.
HS-36 on Insurgents for primary.
M200 sniper on spec ops for secondary.
F-Edje MSR on insurgents for secondary.
Frags/Claymore on both.
Just got the high variable scope on the MSR and that one extra level of zoom lets you beat any sniper who isn't using it. Soooo good.
I end up usually sniping every round on all game types. Start off sniping, and once I press up or get found I switch to the HS/DK2. Both have silencers and amazing accuracy.
My idea with what guns I picked in this game are since not everything gets a silencer at level 5 I wanted the things that do on my assault rifles.
I'm running with:
ACR with ACOG/ Sniper rifle.
M4 silenced with ACOG/ Sniper rifle.
And of course, mines. Always pack the mines......
PRO TIP FOR SNIPERS:
While you're zoomed in looking through the scope, if you hold select for a second, your yellow crosshairs will be joined by thinner white lines making it somewhat easier to line up your shot. Probably won't make the final game but I've been using it a lot while playing and think it helps.

I'm all about the Assault rifle & SMG/shotgun combo. Though the SMG & shotgun combo works good too.
ACR is my top gun, but I'm locked out from using it in most games because of the under barrel launcher. The IW-80 is my second choice, FAMAS third choice. Not digging the SFCR-HW or 556, flat out hate the DK2. Insurgent it's all about the M4A1, FDO-11, and maybe the G36 when silence is preferred. The AK, FAL, and ATAC can all go to hell.
SMG's are Kurtis 45ACP and MP5 for SEALS, F90 and PDW-46 for insurgents. All 4 are high effective, haven't spent much time with the others.
I suck with every last sniper rifle, ACR+ACOG is my sniper rifle.
LMGs- I'm kinda meh on these. I miss out on a lot of kills I'd otherwise get with an AR because of the lousy range, but the big clips come in handy sometimes. ISR-N56 (aka Mk.48) and RPK-74 are my tops.
If I had to pick one perfect loudout it would be an ACOG'ed ACR, Silenced P90, frags and PMN mine.

I think anything on Port Authority is pretty awesome.
Assault and Battery not so much.

I don't mind them fixing but its always so sudden and without any warning. I can understand if its something major that needs to be fixed immediately but this happens pretty often.
Ahh, this brings back so many memories: SOCOM 2 theme:

Just got in a couple rounds of Bomb Squad. So awesome. So much fun, but yet again a few deaths at the hands of my own teammates. At one point some guy was behind me laying under a truck bed for a good 10 seconds before he decided to randomly mow me down.
Also ran into some of that hit detection when sniping someone mentioned earlier. Got these two guys on top of the ship on Port Authority as they were trying to snipe others. Both walked off like nothing happened.

Yeah Bomb squad is just great.
Quick question though, does C4 that you've planted disappear when you die now? I remember rounds days ago where my planted C4 was killing fools while I was dead.

Spawn point 2 in the jungle map can snipe straight into the other spawn - pretty damn frustrating to die within 1 second of a Classic game starting.
Overall I am having a hard time getting into this game. I like the gameplay, but I just can't seem to get into a groove and feel like I am always struggling with the controls or suffering from limited visibility. I know that these are just secondary issues though as the real problem is that I just suck at situational awareness and mobility. I also seem to suck at aiming - when I zoom in I always seem to be aiming significantly lower than it looks (does pressing LI move the reticule down a bit?).
I like the respawn mode - because I generally lose most encounters - but the lag is pretty brutal which forces me to play the Classic mode and spend most of my time sitting around waiting for the next round. Hopefully there will be 8v8 respawn in retail.
I haven't played with a lot of the weapons, but for the ARs I don't really see too much difference between them, sniping results in a lot of misses even though i am aiming dead on and it is very difficult to judge the melee range (I am so very happy there is no lock-on or lunge!) which leads to a lot of embarassing deaths. Right now I am running an AR and shotty and that seems to work out pretty well, but I still tend to get headshot from across the map by ARs a lot.

OMG, that was awesome. Defused two bombs at the bomb squad dude, while under extreme fire on the ship of the Port Map for one, and in blinding smoke (that I laid myself for cover) at "C" of the same map. Then I got taken out and we had to hard fight for B near their spawn, which we took and won the game.
Intense. Probably the best mode of the game (IMO) to play with classic and non-classic respawns.

We really need a PS3 chat room for this. It'll make it a lot easier to communicate and group up in-game.

For a team of 16, I would say on average 3 have a mic. Sometimes you run into groups with more than that but I haven't had a quiet game yet.
