yeah i agree. it is a great game but i've unlocked everything in a month. more weapon variation would be good.

Bc2 was not very balanced.

You had a medic with a light machinegun, pretty much a rambo jesus.

You also had a sniper class that threw wall hacking balls, can kill with 1 shot at any distance, and could destroy tanks with mortar shells with unlimited ammo.

Engineer and Assault were the only balanced classes, but even then they werent perfect.

Assault class was too plain and boring compared to the other classes.

I agree with DelbertGrady...more classes are not needed. More customization is. Give players more unlockables in the form of guns, perks and.... uniform peices. Allow us to customize the look beyond just a couple of set skins like they did in BFBC2. Let me make my soilder look different then the next guys. Sure, sure you need an overall look for each side..but let me do things like add a flack jacket or sunglasses, face mask, gas masks, beret vs helmet vs cap... different boots... ammo vests, etc...

Also, with regards to weapons.... dont just give us all the gadgets and weapons ...make us work for them more than in previous games. silencers on weapons need to be unlocked not just given when you unlock a weapon. And dont unlock one weapon for all classes... make us work for each weapon for each class.

Just make the game make me keep coming back! Heck...I wouldn't even mind a MAG style system for BF3.

I agree with you Pandamobile, but you have 6 classes listed, not the 7 like BF2. Frankly, I like your list just fine because I think the Engineer/AT combo works well and doesn't need to be separate like BF2. Oh and sorry if my second paragraph on my post (#3) was similar to yours: you got yours in just seconds before me so I didn't get a chance to read yours first. Oh well, we looks like we're thinking alike for BF3. I, for one, would like to see the BF2 size maps and classes with BFBC2 style destruction.

Actually, BF2 had six classes :)

I'm not too sure about support only having ammo. At the rate people die its rare that you need someone whose ONLY job is to provide covering fire and ammo. I don't see an issue with assault having ammo. You only run out of ammo....if you are assaulting. If you have to retreat during an assault to get to an ammo box, then its no longer an assault.

BF2 was the best in the series but I think people glorify it too much, its class system is flawed and can be improved, just as BFBC2's can. Even with the teamwork, some of the 7 (or 6 in your list) classes just feel pointless. I never felt the need to run assault when I could run Medic or Spec ops, the gun damage and range could all be easily worked around with a little bit of situational awareness.
Dice was right to TRY and merge some classes, the BF2 system is not that great at inspiring teamwork, its only really good at punishing the lack of it. Since most of the matches played on servers will be public, they are not wrong to try and "trick" noobs into helping each other.

Can you provide a link/source where it was confirmed it would have more classes?
