Are the weapons class/side dependent?

Or can I have my beloved AK on US/Army side?

If it's anything like in the Project Reality, not in a sense like you can in games where you can select your own primary and secondary weapons. Technically you could switch out, but game works in kits (rifleman, officer, engineer, sniper etc) so for example if you kill an enemy who fires an AK you could just switch out to their kit.

Problem is that the game has over a dozen different kits with their own specialties and people in the squad will normally pick kits before the start of the round to complement whatever task that squad will be performing during the match. If you're fighting an insurgency side then the kit will have little equipment compared to conventional forces and again most likely reduce the effectiveness of your squad.

Also if you're firing an AK don't be surprised if you accidentally get killed by a friendly grenade at some point, there's no labels over friendly forces like in COD and Battlefield so someone hears an AK firing behind a corner or over a wall they may well just lob a grenade to take out what they perceive to be an enemy fighter.

First time I've used kickstarter, why is the $100 package trying to charge me $123?

Well the prices are in US Dollars but for some reason it's charging you in Canadian Dollars, so prices works out roughly the same in pounds either way.

But all the CoDers will be such disappoint! :p

Related; are they planning different camo get-ups for different environments? Although as it is current-era based and looking to be Middle-Eastern environments, I guess there isn't much need for different camo.

Shall have a chat with some mates and see if we can get some funds together for the 5 or 10 Company Pack. :)
 
Well the Jack Frags video looked bloody awesome even for a really early Alpha build. The sounds were fantastic, like some of the better Arma 2 sounds that existed.

I haven't gone back to Arma 3 which is a shame but I was silly to think they would do anything to resolve the terrible animations that existed in Arma 2 and the de-sync as far as I know is as bad as ever.

Is the kickstarter finished? Good luck if not, i'm sure it will hit the target required.

Aiming ability will only get you so far in games like this. Sure, you may win a one-on-one firefight, but as soon as there are more than a single person, they have the ability to suppress your position and flank, so they should be coming out on top every time!

One of the most impressive things I've seen from some of the videos, which I don't think anyone else has mentioned, is the shock wave from explosions. I think it was on JackFrag's video, where they were looking down into (what I assume is) a poppy field and a grenade goes off, and you see the near-isntantaneous shock wave going off raising dust. That's where the game sold it to me. The little details ay? :D
 
Seriously can't wait to get my hands on this game. Been looking for something like this for agesss, Arma just doesn't quite have the right feel for me. Definitely going to put some money into the Kickstarter at some point! :)
