The cover of the game makes me think it'll be fucking badass. Seriously one of the coolest covers ever. The original looks like Mario Party With Grenades.

and there doesn't seem to be anything beyond rank 25, maybe they reserved some of the extra gadgets for that. I don't know though, I couldn't find a source. But this is the most complete list so far.

I read some impressions that the AI was pretty dumb. I think one of the quotes were "You will shoot enemies in the back more than the chest. I can't for the life of me remember where. I believe it was a video somewhere.

I do remember the AI in BC1 being able to spot you from anywhere though and I too hope it's not the same.

Really? Jeff from Giant Bomb said in the latest bombcast that the AI was really sharp.

Like I said with all of the info I've been digesting I could be totally off with my comment. Especially since the SP is secondary IMO for this game.

i always thought some of the stuff in the beta was purposefully made a high point count so beta players couldn't get it :p

This is really strange...but we know for a semi-fact that some weapons there are missing from that list, so maybe they haven't played their full hand yet. Still, the weapon selection screen would be damned clutter with many more.

Ah, damn your edit. M4 is mainly what I was getting at, but still, would be kinda strange to have a max level of 50, and all the guns available at 25.

it'd be kinda great. people who want to play the actual game with tactical choice of weapons can d so, and ADHD mofos that "need top rank" before they quit playing can have their silly carrot.

I need the MG3, but engineer is my favourite class :/

And does anybody know about weapon balance in the full game, I wasn´t in the beta, but the one time I used assault class plus XM8 felt broken. Coming from the engineer pea shooters I could pin down a whole squad in a shack in the last base, killing maybe five in the process before one of the re-respawned guys shot me. Killing with a few rounds compared to the endless stream of bullets the silenced guns take made a huge difference.

I don't disagree at all--I never really cared about unlockables in BF2, but it just strikes me as a poor design choice, as a contemporary shooter. I guess the ranks can still be used to help with matchmaking, but other than that, there is not much point to it if all is unlocked at 25.

I never felt the XM8 to be too overpowered. I DO think the Saiga 20K needs to be toned down--give it more spread over distance. As it is now, the Saiga is semi auto, has good range, great close damage, and good mag capacity. It was my number one gun because in any CQB situation, it trumped just about everything else.

Yeah, the list might need to be updated because of that. Beta players =/= retail players. But post your list in the meetup thread, maybe oxrock can use it.

I like having all weapons available like this, at 25 or so then leave gadgets for later. I always thought reserving top weapons for the very top players was cheap because it made it impossible to catch up if you start playing late or whatnot.

That said, even 25 should take a good 50 hours, so its not like everything is unlocked day 1.

red dot/reflex sights are notably absent from the perk list(noticed this days ago but shoot me if I choose not to read a 20+ page thread to find out if someone's brought it up :D), I remember in the squad TDM preview video there was a guy running around with a RDS on the M95 .50 cal

I agree. I dont know why it requires separate logins for each of the games when they all use the same underlying login.

By BF2 and 1943 dont register. And says 1942 is used... But I have a couple that did work, so that's fine with me.

The XM8 was a beast of a gun in the PS3 beta but in the PC beta it was balanced. It's still extremely effective but not so much of a railgun it was in the PS3 beta. I love the Engineer's submachine gun, it's so refreshing to hear the suppressed gunshots and dropped three people with headshots and then blowing up a tank with a perfect engine shot.

then 1943 must be the worst design choice of them all, since all the weapons are unlocked from the start, yet it takes s crapload of time to get to 50.

I think you misunderstood Faceless's post, someone said that there were perks missing from the perks list in the link that blanky posted. Faceless was just pointing out that the link actually didn't show any perks at all, it was solely a weapons list.
