Does anyone have a list of weapons you can unlock during Co-Op? Also, are there any sights you can unlock in Co-Op?

Recently I've been using the 4x scope, but the 7x scope worked just as well. It's just your preference. I typically just find some cover from a distance where I can scan the objective for enemies from a distance and if I see any I'll take them out before moving on. Once they are gone or if I don't find anyone there, I'll run to it and find a safe place to go prone or hide while capping it. I usually take out my pistol since I'll typically be inside a building or somewhere without a large viewable distance, and if I'm in a decent spot I can take them out with the pistol since I see them first.ElyrionX said:
With a 7x scope usually run from cover to cover mostly with a pistol and just use the rifle for people who have yet to see me or if I am at a safe distance. I try not to stay in one spot for too long. Pistols are great, so don't be worried about using them. You have a better chance of surviving if you run into anyone at close range while holding one. About 1/4 of my kills are with a pistol.
But what works for me might not work for others. Also, it might not work as well if you're not in a squad that sticks together since I also have backup.

Not being able to play SP offline is pretty crap, but overall I think battlelog is great. The option should be there for people to use it in game, but even if it was I think I would still use the web based version. I hate that battlelog launches the game through origin rather than just launching it directly though.
Bloody annoying in some points. I've been standing places before where a scripted rocket/explosion happens and have died, which always feels like a cheap death because there is sometimes no warning where and when that will happen. AI also feels like they cheat by killing you really fast sometimes. Constantly respawning enemies occur until you pass certain invisible gates sometimes. Other than that, it's not too bad so far. Basically - I feel like I'm getting punished by restarting to the last checkpoint when it's not even my fault a lot of the time.The_Monk said:
I really, really like Battlelog personally. I've had it open whilever I've been on the net since I bought the game. Makes it so easy to just dive into a game or tinker with your stats etc.
To be honest while I tend to enjoy online shooters I don't tend to get all that involved with the perks, unlocks and clan side of them. With Battlelog however it just seems to be so convenient to keep your eye on all that stuff on the fly. I like having that as part of my browser experience. It feels like an extension of the game.
I'm impressed with it so far. The only problem I have with Battlelog so far is that I'm pretty lonely on there at the moment and it just highlights how annoyed I am that I can't just access all my Steam friends through Origin/Battlelog.

Hard is the hardest, and on PC I had no issues with it compared to any of the Call of Duty games.
Idk why someone listed respawning enemies... I think there is 1 sequence at the start that does that, but the rest of the game is finite amount of enemies and you basically just do clear the area and proceed onward.
Once you realize oh I can't move around much or at all, and just have to do a pop and shoot then duck to win for all sequences, it becomes super easy super quick.
It makes any CoD campaign on Veteran look like you are doing it on normal.
Edit: I should clarify I'm pretty much a noob at PC shooters, and have done all of my CoD's on console. So if someone ill equipped at m/kb combo thinks it's easy on hard, then you shouldn't feel to afraid of tackling it on hard.

Yeah if the guy flying the helicopter or jet doesn't hurry the fuck away it's easy to kill with the second stringer missiles. Often people will also prematurely use the flare just when you are locked into them and you can just wait a few seconds and shoot them down.
The_Monk said:
Yeah CoD World at War is a nightmare. Forever enemies + grenade tracking to kill you 24/7 made me want to punch my face in.
This is not like that. If anything you can turn it back down to normal if it gets too hard for you, but I found anytime I was dying it was just because I wasn't staying in cover enough, before taking my pop shots. The game is also pretty lenient on check points, although there was 2 sequences I can remember where the checkpoitns were a bit far out.

So, now that we've played the full game, what's everyone's favourite and/or most played class?
Personally I love support due to awesome M249 and the prospect of the mortars.
As far as time played goes though, I'm playing Support, Engineer and Assault almost equally as rockets, mines, heath, and defibs are extremely useful in-game.
Recon doesn't get much love from me, and it seems that it gets very little love from the majority of players (on CQ anyway, don't know how it is in Rush).

Just finished it on hard and the biggest problems are that enemies sometimes hit you through walls (even had a rpg go through a mountain one) and that you are sometimes shot directly after an ingame cutscene and die instantly (happened on at least 3 occasions for me).
Pairing that with bugs that make the screen go white (ps3 version here) pretty much makes the campaign the most unenjoyable sp experience i had this year.
Even duke nukem forever seemed better in hindsight.
I didn't experience that level of pointless frustration with CoD on veteran, although MW2 comes close on some occasions.
The worst thing about the "taking it slow" approach is the fact that it felt like missing out on the game. Instead of having cool gunplay, i would sum up that the game consists of 60% "stare at the wall", 30% "press x to not die" and maybe 10% remotely resembling something like having a strategy.
It also is a pretty good indicator for bad pacing if you can breeze through the levels until you get to the next "breach through enemy defenses" section where you will die again and again until you get lucky.
One section in particular made me rage quit yesterday. You are supposed to chase a guy and if you don't run, it is game over. However, there are people shooting at you at a crossing and with 2-3 hits being deadly, you will die just running through. I died trying to just run, died trying to take cover, died trying to shoot back....
Eventually I got through by just running, but it was completely random and had no relevance to skill at all.
The lag is this game is pretty ridiculous now...
I hope they do something...also is it possible to do lag-switching? Lastnight I was in a room and anytime I went near an enemy even when i had the drop of them...I would lose in the encounter as they would be somewhere else to where I was shooting...

I love the stuff the Russian guy says on the comm rose. You know the flag in the alleyway on Grand Bazaar, the one that always becomes a meat grinder? I managed to force my way into one of the side rooms next to the flag by myself, captured the flag and killed like 8 dudes who were trying to pry me out of that room. These guys are firing rockets, throwing grenades, and trying to bull rush the room and I keep getting lucky. But the whole time I was banging away at "Need Backup" on the comm rose. The things the voice said kept getting more and more hysterical.
"Need backup."
"Get me some backup!"
"Where the fuck is my backup?!"
"I'M GONNA FUCKING DIE HERE, MAN!"
I absolutely lost it at that last one.

According to the stats, 84% of my time has been playing Assault. It's really more than that, the time spent on other classes was my friends playing it in my gaff. Really loved Assault in BC2 and will continue to play with it until I've unlocked everything. I'll probably move on to Engineer after that, then Support and finally, ugh, Recon. Once I've everything done, I'll probably spend my time between Assault and Engineer.RibbedHero said:
Has the Digital Foundry face-off been posted yet? Sorry if old.

In short, the console versions are both excellent, but the PC version blows both out of the water.

Some super fucked up shit.
I was in a server before and an admin was saying there were a lot of overseas people in it which was causing the lag. It seems most servers have some Europeans in them too. Why the hell do they even join overseas servers? They need to have a ping limit setting.

Probably the engineer. The RPG is just so essential when it comes taking down tanks on Conguest. Can't have enemy tanks parking on my flag. On smaller maps you can do really well with the Assault class healing and reviving team mates.
Engineer is fun to play but way op. Seems like every game is 70/30 engineers vs. every other kit combined. There needs to be some kind of rebalance to make the other kits more appealing. An engineer can singlehandedly take down light/heavy armor, jeeps, aircraft, plus do repairs, plus with the SCAR-H they do just fine as an assault class.
It was pretty obvious from the beta that Eng. needed to be looked at, but it's DICE and they're terrible at balance.
Pretty funny to see the lead designer has Eng as his most played class and has like 550spm. Also looks like they might be nerfing Stingers (lol).
