Fighting groups of medics is oh so fun, the mass spray of bullets and them constantly reviving each other. Those later guns make all the difference. Even with the early unlocks you tell a huge difference right off the bat. First assault rifle vs XM-8 no contest. the XM-8 blows it out of the water even with iron sights. I'm still using the basic sniper rifle though because the few I've unlocked so far are all the high rate of fire low damage rifles, can't wait to get the 50cal sniper rifle, I've had a chance to use it a few times and it's quite a bit more effective.
Overall I think I preferred the leveling system in 2142 better, your not linked to playing a class with it's underpowered starting guns to level it, exp is the same no matter how you earn it and you choose what to unlock with each rank-up. That and for the MOST part the higher level guns in 2142 didn't seem to outright TRUMP the basic guns, they were more specialized in their uses so they tended to conform better to different play styles, but at least the new players had a fighting chance.
