i know this topic has been discussed before, but i have a couple ideas i havent seen yet

how about pistol unlocks?

1st tier: a sig or glock .40/45
2nd tier: .50 cal Desert Eagle or smith & wesson 500 or some other ridiculously large caliber pistol

3rd tier unlocks for other weapons?

for example:

uzi for AT class (certainly appropriate for MEC forces)
hk mp5sd3 for spec ops
m60 for support
mossberg 590da or spas 12/15 for engineers (9 shot capacity on the mossberg, and the spas has to be more accurate then the jackhanner)
suppressors for snipers
scopes for assault
medic, well, erm, the g36e rocks as it is, so mebbe we can unlock a full-auto sear?

again, i know this has been brought up before in various threads, but i think if something of this sort was incorporated into 1.4/1.4.2/1.5/whatever, it'd help revive some interest in bf2 when 2142 comes out.

why cant EA/DICE have two blockbuster games at once?

(yes i know 1.3 needs to be un-fubar'd first before anyone adds extra shit to the game, but work with me here)

Agreed. I was just thinking along these lines that would be nice to introduce new gear.

Finally reached Sgt Major so have all weapons unlock + wouldn't mind more.

Pistol unlocks? WHo are you kidding.

Pistols are secondary and only pulled out in an emergency. The game is too fast paced to warrant any strategic use of the pistol other than maybe for the snipers, and even then that's only due to the mechanics of the pistol code.

Besides, the unlocks are supposed to be alternatives, not upgrades. Seen one pistol, you seen em all.

i think the FAMAS from EF would be nice for the medic, its a really good gun, as for other rifles (most are from CS)
-G3 sniperversion (CS auto sniper)
-the HK-UMP for AT
-Sig 552 for medic or spec ops
-XM-8 for assault or medic
an MP5SD would also be nice for the spec ops too and a Desert Eagle would kickass

I dont know ... pistol is primary weapon when sniper and walking with squad ... also engy when you need range... but yeah a pistol unlock could only be so exciting ...

We really don't need any new unlocks or else we'll get carried away and have a 50-tier system where only those who've slaved away at the game for 500 hours have any chance of survival against the latest minigun and flamethrower unlocks.

For engineer I don't think they should have the mossberg 590da. They should have the remington 870 tactical loaded up with sluggers. That would give that kit a little more effective distance and knockdown power.

They said there is a problem with how they programmed weapons so that there is only so many you can load before using to much mem or something so I dont think there will be any new unlocks until they fix that.
But when they do I think
spec ops should have> a silenced weapon with subsonic ammunition so with will pack less of a punch and be somewhat less accurate but hey its quiet.

sniper> another semi-auto rifle thats more accurate or a silenced gun also same as above

assault> a xm8 or HK E11 or something different like that.

support> a M134 Minichaingun that will be hella inaccurate and lower damage but shoots so fast and doesn't over heat that is should be up to par with the others you'll just need to resupply yourself lots and watch for friendlies in front of you.(this might be a good one vs heli's)

medic> the stoner 63a would be a good one. or modified version of the assault class weapon

engineer> another shotgun would be good but possibly with slugs this time.

antitank> hopefully an unlock for anti heli/jet but other then that something like a anti tank gun something like the m95 but it will hurt tanks and it will have no scope or possibly just something with incendiary rounds or thermite grenades.

and for the pistols a desert eagle, or something automatic like a Glock G18 ect.

I think that silencer for assault/spec ops class would be so sweet - especially combined with the divine forces of Grappling hook and flash bang (assault-kit) Imagine how the Palace in Warlord could be played- no more GL-crap, DAO-busters and gaymores but intense, tactical Close quarter combat where you would have to THINK instead of just spraying and praying...
just my 0.02...

Pfft...pistol unlocks are for a game like Gunz Online where you have a bunch of idiots doing cartwheels on the floor trying to kill each other.

the spec ops class get a god damn silenced pistol.. and the guns are already piss weak.

so let me get this straight.. you want to put a suppressor.. on a weak gun.. which would lower the muzzle velocity of the bullets.. making them WEAKER?

thats the most retarded logic i've heard in a while.

p.s.

this game isn't counterstrike. and never will be. claymores, DAO-12's and GL's will ALWAYS be in the game.. and as long as people like YOU whine about them.. i'm gonna use them.

just to piss you off even more.

For pistol unlocks good ideas are (I think) S&W m629 (Dirty Harry's gun) It will do the damage of a PKM but to make up for the over poweredness it has a very small clip (You know how many if you saw DH), and massive recoil. For the other I am thinking the Glock 18 auto pistol (Alyx from Half-Life 2 uses it), It had twenty shots, a rate of fire of around the standard 600 RPM and sould be reletivly inaccurate (for balance). They would be balanced well, the Machine Pistol would not be as powerful or accurate and the Magnum would have a small clip, and extreme recoil. This way the battles get spiced up
