I'm liking this game a bit more now, my only problem is with how long it takes to unlock weapons. The first unlock is at 10,500 which isnt so bad...if it was every 10,500 points. But it goes up, way up, making it nearly impossible to unlock them all for a normal player. Most will only unlock the first two weapons which leads to players making multiple accounts so they have all the unlocks earlier, just not on the same character.

Private- No Unlocks
PFC- No
Lance Corporal- 1st unlock
Corporal- 2nd Unlock
Sergeant- 3rd Unlock
Staff Sergeant- 4th Unlock
Gunnery Sergeant- 5th Unlock
Master Sergeant- 6th Unlock
First Sergeant- No Unlocks
Master Gunnery Sergeant- Last Unlock

and point cost:

500 0 2 RANK_1
1000 1 3 RANK_2
10500 2 4 RANK_3
25000 3 5 RANK_4
50000 4 6 RANK_5
75000 5 7 RANK_6
150000 6 9 RANK_7
150000 6 9 RANK_8
250000 7 12 RANK_9
250000 7 12 RANK_10
250000 7 12 RANK_11
2500000 9 13 RANK_12

Now conisder I've played on rank servers probably 4-6 hours (maybe more) and only have 250 points! (I also only have 1 loss so far, which means most of my points have been doubled because I was on the winning team). Now also consider I usually score in the top half, so its not like I horribly suck and am getting last place every time. That's a little insane, all this does is create a bigger gap between the good players with a lot of time and the average player. Luckily most weapon upgrades don't seem to be a huge upgrade. So at least there's that, and at least we have the system at all for something to work toward.

Of course there's also some pretty annoying bugs/problems with it too, there are cheats/hacks out there to unlock all the weapons and raise your stats. Plus I've had ranked games where my score wasnt recorded for some reason.

One that wasnt recorded was a game where I really kicked ass too, had about 30 kills and had a gold star (1st place) at the end of the game.

So, what do you all recommend as unlocking for your first weapon?

Anyone know what having more deaths does to your score? Does it subtract points?

My name in game is DeadResident.
