Is Ranking up a class the only way to obtain new weapons? I am sure I had a game last night where I got like 3-4 weapon/gadget unlocks after the match, I did increase a level, but I just wondered if I had picked up someone else's weapons or earn't the upgrades in a different way. (Playing as engineer class)

Yep, you also get extras for ranking up. You can't steal peoples weapons and keep them :p Maybe you was close to ranking up in a few different classs and chose them in that round?
 
Just playing online and a player had a rank of 32!....either he got the game very early or hasnt slept since it came out!!
 
I'm just going through one kit at a time, I'm on the assualt kit atm, about 3/4s through unlocking everything, then I'll move onto the medic. One thing I am glad about though, there isn't a kit that "sucks". It's fun to be ALL the kits, which is good to see in a game :).
 
I like the sniper's kits - it's actually fun to run around armed with the Thompson and get right in to the action. Throwing those motion mines around helps the team immensely. Providing you have a medic to heal you and an assault man to provide you with more motion mines, it works quite well. And you're not just sat at the back doing nowt.

Tip: Only throw one mine at a time. In Bad Company 1, you could form a ring of three all at the same time but when you throw a second one in BC2, it disables the first.
 
Played through SP on normal - fairly easy but good visuals and good intro for the MP game. Think tearing the buildings apart from the helicopter is one of the best moments. Snow level is only one I needed a few replays to get through. Might try hard to find all the MCOMs and additional weapons. But will be focused on MP now.

MP is as good as BF2 on Rush and Conquest (not keen on squad deathmatch and not tried squad rush yet). At least only part of the map is available on Rush - remember a few times on the big bf2 maps where you could go ages without being in any action. Still maps I've not played yet - getting to know the maps is essential for me as I die lots till I've figured out the best tactical routes :cool:

No bugs or disconnections yet....Though have seen what looks like building rubble floating away.

PSN: Dougie-fire :D
 
I started playing the Sp on Hard yesterday at around 4PM..
Finished it this morning... not very hard at all.. but.. still very enjoyable..

Majority of the fun of this game will be MP anyway.

Also... I'm wondering if you can get up to the last level on easy.. then switch difficulty to hard to get the achievements easier lol.

As for the sniping... I am a fan of Recon... but... as soon as I get the 3 weapon upgrade achievements I am going to swap into a different class.. just to try and master it.
 
Love being a medic with M249 at the moment w/De-Fib.. really good.

Love the fact that getting headshots with snipers is so gratifing, compared to other FPS games.
 
I've never played a game where the vast majority of people play as snipers. Most games you get one or two but I have to say this is ruining what could be a great game. I'm playing back on normal mode now rather than hardcore simply because snipers galore completely take the fun out of it. I'm all for the extra damage guns do, but constantly being hit by 4 or 5 people just camping is incredibly dull.

Snipers get one shot kill for infantry and mortar strikes/c4 for tanks. It's like they are the ultimate class! The mortar strike does more damage to a tank than an AT round which is just crazy.

I'm hoping they nerf snipers or at least make them have to take a breath before taking a shot or have the scope shake. At the moment it's far to easy camping as a sniper on hardcore mode and hitting people from far away as its just case of point up slightly and fire. Then constantly repeat.

Had one game last night where the attackers didnt even come to try and blow up the base! They all just camped on a hill shooting the defenders! :mad:
 
Has anyone who's played both MAG and this got an opinion? I'm afraid Totality's comments ring true for me and it's making my blood boil somewhat. Do MAGgers actually try and complete the objectives? :D

Last night I played Rush and when my team was attacking, I ran past 4 people camping on a hill rather than attacking. Annoying but not a big problem as long as some people on the team attack.

I've had some much better games today (when the servers were behaving) and I've only played a few games of MAG around a friends house but IMO MAG is a much better team based game.

Battlefield much like MW2 players are more concerned with their scores than completing the objectives.

For example in MAG players are more inclined to heal you so you stay at the frontline, where as in BF they ignore you.
 
Me and Soulja were in a game when we got booted. Now it is down again. Hope they sort these issues out soon.

Aside from the teething problems, I am really enjoying the game. It is such good fun when you're in a squad with people that know what they are doing. I should be on
later if the servers are working by then. Feel free to send me an invite if you see me on.
