I'd really like a clear, idea of how progression will work, a bit more updated info on it. I'm still a little confused on how we gain weapons and upgrades.
i think this is something we can unlock with exp we start with a standard weapon with each class as we gain exp we can unlock other weapons and also updates with them as we unlock a weapon we will gain a standard model of it (there are others to find in the game somehow) so we will have to choose if we want to get better with one weapon or if we want to unlock others
Well then hopefully its like bf3-4 in that case. What about side unlocks? Like non-class specific weapons? Brent answered one of my stream questions of 'how many variations of weapons' and he said at least 100 per faction, which sounds pretty cool, but yeah, how do we get all of these? I assume raids and the underworld, completing faction objectives, etc.
The unlocks will mostly work like in PS2, with some additions that you can "find" items, too. And no, definetely NO non-class specific weapons. You find or unlock a weapon, and it is useable only by the classes it is meant for.
Personally i find the Ps2 weapon system annoying lol, having to get points to buy some weapons mostly the 2 goods ones. I agree with cupcakeunleashed we should get more information from Brent about how the weapons are unlocked and the different ways to unlock some of them. If fulfilling a certain condintion must be met in order to unlock more powerful weapons and if they will vary from Faction to Faction
Yapp. I wish to see more information on progression, weapon unlocks and such. I kinda wish some of the weapons/ perks (and so on) have a challenge to unlock them.
there was a 100 point weapon for each class you also got around 10points for logging in that's not to hard to unlock I think anyway I think something similar wouldn't be bad for EC weapons in EC will be way different then they are in PS2 so its more benefiting to specialize in one weapon you are very good with anyway there will be one day where you have unlocked all stuff you can get with a class but then there are some more classes to unlock stuff!
How in-depth will the melee combat be going? Will there only be a standard combo, or will there be multiple combos? Will there be counter-mechanics such as parrying? Will you be able to counter or fend off people who are "maining" melee while using guns in ways that aren't just extra shooting (such as a knockback attack)?
