Need advice for the Recon Tree

[Eynon]

I got the game yesterday, installed it.........then the girlfriend shows up. :( I won't get to play it until tonight. I loved being recon in the demo, but am not sure what tree to go for.

I'm thinking one of 1 ways....

1) Demo Pack - Carbine ----> FRG-1 Grenade ----> APM - Zeller H
2) Demo Pack - Carbine ----> APM - Zeller H ----> FRG-1 Grenade
3) APM - Zeller H ----> Demo Pack - Carbine ----> FRG-1 Grenade

My only complaint about recon, was when the heat was on, and you end up in close combat, the pistol really sucks, and every other class mows me down. So that's why i'd like to go for the carbine first. Also the mines.

The sniper rifle looks great, and so do the addons for stability and scope. So what would the other recon guys recommend?

Im not so sure about the sniper rifle upgrade anymore. I tried it out and i found it somewhat lacking. The scope for one is very ugly, and on maps with an orange hint to them it is practicly imposible to see anything. Its more powerful, but still kills heavy armor, the default which im sure 90% of the population uses, in 2 shots. The 3 shot magazine i found kind of annoying too.

It does have the ability to destroy apm/rdx, but i didnt find much use for it. The apm in that tree is obviously excelent, along with the 4x zoom. The stabalizer i didnt find that much use for once i got really used to the sway, but it could be handy.

I would suggest making a junk account of sorts, and try it out for yourself, doesnt take that long to get 4 unlocks and you wont be messing up your main guy.
