Default BC2 noob: changing default wep in MP?

tried to ask this in the BC2 forum but the answer got lost in the shuffle:

when i jon a game, i'm only presented with a selection of some
kind of assault rifle / nade launcher.

i've looked for a way to switch to sniper or engineer,
but can't find a way so far.

do i have to unlock the other classes, or am i missing a
screen selection somewhere? -duh?-

thanks,
CD

when you first join a game you should have your class creation open. Press down on your D-Pad and it should go to engineer. down again goes to medic then down again goes to recon.

Assault = assault rifles
engineer = Smgs
Medic = Lmgs
Recon = sniper

What platform? The PC has a different menu interface to the consoles.

mate just simply click on the other class title with your mouse, then you gain the ability to customize it from there.

Default Re: BC2 noob: changing default wep in MP?

maybe that's the point i'm trying to make:

i don't SEE any other designations or classes, even after expanding the "weapon selection" screen.

all i see is the starting wep for the assault class and the pistol,
nothing else?

thanks,
CD

I think you will find that a server side problem IE the admins have locked the weapons choice which is against the there server rental agreement I had about 6 servers doing that to me the other day so i just gave it an hour until my clan members where ready to play our server then played our own server with about 20 friends

Default Re: BC2 noob: changing default wep in MP?

having learned from MW2, in frustration i went to the game properties tab for BC2, and had it verifiy local game content.

it found one corrupt file - failed to validate - and re-downloaded BC2 for the fix.

after that i switched game types to Rush etc qand started seeing other weapon selections in the menu selection when i joined some servers!! :-)

going back to Team Squad DM, i still joined servers which seemed to have only the basic assault rifle in the selection.

but on the same map i swear i saw an rpg fly by??

i'll have to hope the history function's working so i can find those servers
again...

thanks,
CD
