For those of you who played the alpha, do you think the classes were balanced well? For those of us who haven't, well, its all speculation at this point but to me it seems kind of redundant giving the Assault an M16 while giving the Engineer an M4. How do you think the balance will be when the game finally comes out?

Something thats always irritated me is dedicating an entire class to a wide variety of sniper rifles, when in fact most of are nearly identical both in how they function and how they are used in game. Seems like a waste imo at least. I really liked the way 2142 did it, give recon a choice between a special ops setup or a sniper setup. Worked great in game.

2142 got just about everything right in my opinion. Bugs and glitches aside, the gameplay was fantastic.

Agree, 2142 configuration for recon was spot on. I'd actually like to see recon without a ghillie suit because in urban environment, it makes you stand out more than anything. Not a big deal because I prefer assault or engineer anyway, but it'd make a bit more sense.

Ya the ghillie suits in BC2 were absolutely ridiculous. Looked like chewbacca running around lol.

I liked COD4's USMC sniper model.

I think we should be able to differentiate each class visually, but not as far as putting a guille suit on a recon soldier in urban terrain.

So... you never played BC2 then...

I like the idea that some guns are available for all classes. I certainly hope we get some like that in BF3. Does anybody who played the alpha know if you can do this and with which weapons?

I wasn't in the alpha, but I saw on Demize's twitter account that shotguns and PDWs (submachineguns) will be all kits.

So, do engineers get issued carbines instead of SMGs this time around?

I remember unlocking the G36E as engineer. But i think I could also use an MP7 which I unlocked last, but was for both assualt and engineer.(I may be wrong though and it was just for asault)

Weird thing with the MP7 is that it had a 40 round mag, with only 20 rounds in it.

I still think the M60 is the best gun in BC2.
