Just a nice idea in my opinion.
Never been to army, but don´t you get extra training in sniping etc when you are good at it?

I like this idea a lot because a person who specializes in a certain class gets a better weapon.

WTF?!

Having another gun to use for every class would make balancing them so much more difficult! If you must have unlocks for your ego, mabye the unlock would be the same gun, but with a small scope, or a silencer, or whatever. Just nothing too freaky. US troops using a british gun in battle seems wrong to me.

Special Forces is different than regular army. If this is USMC, than I'm taking a wild guess that the SF class is supposed to be Force Recon. They should definitely have more choices than an m4, although that is the most widely used SF weapon. It would be nice to have the addition of a Master Key or M203 underneath, but I know that would be difficult to add.

Of course, I'd like to see marines using CH-53E's in game...

It's going to be included, but the model shown there is incorrect. Wybl is remodelling it.

I personally hate the idea of unlocks espically EA's transparent attempt to keep people playing and buying expansions just to unlock weapons. The only realistic way to implente this is for example give the sniper a choice between a m82 or a M24 or whatever the rifles might be not like VBF2 where you had a choice between a M4 and G36. Offtopic but I am planning on joining Recon when i get
into the Marines.

I think maverick and I brought up an idea of how to use unlocks and people have just ignored it. YES haveing unlcoks is a bad idea, we have already agreed on that and its highly unlike to apear in PR.

Now lets take about how the unlock slots can be used, remember im just useing unlocks as a common term im by no means saying you have to unlcok the weapons.

As mentioned by maverick the unlock slots could be used as a weapon configuration type system.

for example the assalt class

[R-PUB wrote:maverick]such as the option for an assaultmen to have a SMAW or an M203 etc...

Or The AT class
