You can bget that most of them didn´t because, you know, its hard to get a gun when you are under 18

Not like they understand the concept of burst fire anyways.

And, you don't need unlocks to enjoy te game, either you're a noob or you're not. ....

.

Everyone starts the game as a noob.
You, me, everyone.

As a noob you will be dying a lot.
People will consistently kill you, even when you thought you had the drop on them.

So when I have a guy bang in my sights at optimum range, he's not even looking at me, but I can't kill him before he kills me...
It's obviously not a very rewarding experience.

After I die I get to see this bloke and he has a load of guns that I can't have and I'm thinking.. hmmm..

Now intellectually, one has to think, this game is well balanced, the reason I am dying and my enemies are not is clearly becuase I am doing something wrong.
But emotionally, my response is more likely to be "I can't compete with these guys because they have better guns than me".

And then you read the comms chatter about cheats on the server.. and so on and your willingness to be canonfodder for someone elses fun is much reduced.

Truthfully, unlocks suck on a competative multiplayer game.
Even if they were perfectly balanced, and if they were, then there would be as many people not using them as there are using them...
Even if they were perfectly balanced, they create the feeling of an unfair playing field.

^ I agree Baff1 seeing that im now level 15. Now starting to unlock things it was very frusterating at the beginning when all I had was a shitty gun and no defibrillator, no AT mines, no claymores no c4 no nothing.

[Dead3yez]

The C4, Defib and AT mines can be unlocked in like 2 or 3 games of playing that class. :| 1 if you're good enough.

[VIPER[CWW]]

AT Mine - 7000 Class Score required. (Impossible to get that much unless on high ticket servers, at least it is with hardcore).

Defib - 4000 Class Score required. (Possible to get in one match if you dish out the medpack alot, best used on maps like metro).

C4 - 4000 Class Score required. (Same as above just with ammobox).

It took me a while to earn the mines and C4, but that was only because I played solely as engineer, also n00bs only play regular, hardcore is where da shits at yo.

Saying all that though, I never use AT mines (thermals on vehicles make them pointless), I hardly use C4, same with claymores, defib I obviously use when permitted. All those unlocks dont make a player any better, it just takes the player out of the occasion and requires no skill on their behalf (C4 permiited).

lol no.

[Mr. Charles]

Hardcore sucks for not having any HUD for firemode/ammo count.
