Let's hope it can be used in the main maps as well.

According to the article, this is the case.

What’s best, you’ll be able to use the weapons in both Back To Karkand and on regular Battlefield 3 maps.

Wonder how this works with the old guns. Whether they're the stock kits on B2K or you're able to unlock them seperately when you have the pack.

The B2K DLC is made by the same team that did the BC2 Vietnam pack.
There, ranking up was shared over both the main game and the expansion, so you would unlock weapons in parallel.
(E.g. I immediately got all Vietnam weapons as I already had surpassed the highest needed rank.)

Looking at those 10 weapons, they are enough to give each of the 4 classes on both sides at least one fitting weapon, so it's possible that they are indeed stock weapons. If that's the case, one could assume that they are immediately available in both games.

They might be unlocks for each class, with one of the base game's weapons as the stock.

How are you doing that?
I followed you around for a bit, and you barely got hit, while I attract bullets like a magnet.

Mass?

Underbarrel shotty, but you can use it in standalone like the M320.

lol, I usually have a habit of attracting instakill bullets from the SVD, SV98, 74, M249 and esecially the PP-2000. Often leads me to go into a Hulk rage at some point.

Hush Ilocano!

they better make it a lot slower.

Never underestimate how sad some peoples' existences are.  There will always be people who can somehow play 10+ hours per day, and will rank up way before everyone else is even close.  BF2 was like that, but with the limited unlocks it didn't matter much.

I don't think so Tim

For the alpha they said that they accelerated the ranking and unlocks so that they could be tested fully

I would have to guess its the same now, because there are already people with the max rank, and DICE have always said that it will take longer to get stuff in this than it was BC2.

But, but... your taking away peoples ground to bitch on. Don't you know one of the most basic rules of PC gaming?

The amount of time spent bitching about a game must be greater than the amount of time spent playing the game.

I thought the time it took to progress in BC2 was quite good tbh. I just reached lvl 50 2 weeks ago. And I dont want to spent 300 hours to unlock everything.
