Because it gives you something to work towards when you play?

I dont enjoy having to get a certain amount of kills just so i can unlock a certain gun or explosive device etc. badges, medals, achievements fine, but making you start with a specific gun like the m16 just sucks. the same way pre-ordering the game and you get a shotgun and a few camos or somet, its stupid.

should be a level playing field for all players, wether youve played 5mins or 500 hours.
 
Guns are different, not better in most cases.

Example: The default gun in BC2 for assault is exactly the same stats as the M16, the only difference is it's a 3 shot burst, you can 3 shot burst the gun if you really wanted and it'd act the same as the M16, but the advantage is up close you can spray.

It depends on your play style, obviously there are cases of some guns being OP which give you an advantage, like the M60 and AN-94 (I don't know if these are still considered OP, since I haven't played BC2 for months) but most of the time it's just a different feel to each gun, you have to learn how to perfect playing with it.

Yet bf2 started it? :o

I like unlocks though, it makes people sue the different guns and try them all out rather than just pick the spamiest straight away.

Tbh i'd probably not use recon as much (or maybe have ended up as a m95 whore) if i hadn't been made to use the vastly superior m24, and now more the sv98 as i'm needed the extra mag size because i'm living longer/longer runs.

Perhaps, but most of the time its unlocks for the sake of i not unlocks for some purpose. Seriously what was the point behind not giving a Medic his Defibs or restricting most the Engineers anti-vehicle gear?

I can see your reasoning for the weapon unlocks which encourage you to try each 1 as you get it. But when you stop an Engineer from taking AT4s or Gustavs for anti-air things get stupid.
 
I hope BF3 truly goes back to the old style, big maps, lots of vehicle options! Although BC2 is good fun it is a bit of a halfway house between original BF and COD, doesn't quite do either perfectly for me.
 
I really hope this time around they don't skimp on vehicles for the sake of padding their sky rockets with some form of "booster pack". The littlebird and a10 for example from armoured fury would have been really effective on some of the stock BF2 maps, but nope, they were only available on the boosterpack maps. :mad:

Then you just call in an artillery strike on top of them and watch them rage as it takes them 10 minutes to run back there again :D

Thought the list earlier said binoculars were just for spotting not calling in Mortars which i took to mean they weren't in the game.

I'd probably just use them as target practice for bullet drop/flight time :p
 
Think so, hope it's on Steam soon.

They better not do what they did before, have "Pre-order before XX and get the limited edition free" and then put up Steam pre-orders 1 day after to be ****ing *****.
 
Pre-order from GAME, PLAY & EA.

Last time myself and friends pre-ordered through PLAY we never received the game and having had to wait 30 days to get a refund is shocking. WE will never use PLAY again.
