Well, I just think that they either have to kill in one shot or have a faster cool down time. It's horible to shoot a guy, only having to watch and wait till you can take a second shot (If he isn't gone by then.)

Ya, the rebels having a 1 hit kill weapon and the Empire having a 2 shot kill weapon just plain sucks

I shoot rebels in the head with the DLT-20a and they just wonder off with 1/8 or 1/10 life left.

yeah, I'm not paritculary happy with the sniper rifles either. I think the disruptor is ok, but the
DLT-20a is bad; its quite inaccurate (for a sniper rifle that is), and I find the ruptor to be more efficient in killing than the DLT; I've had ppl engaging me (I have the DLT-20a), shooting them once or twice in the shoulders/head (again, accuracy), survive, and then proceed to kill me.

Aren't some of the weapons dependent on how many people are in your squad?

Cause, when i don't join a squad, I can't use the second medic gun, but when i do, I always can.

Do the server admins know that they have to change their setting to allow users to use all weapons/ Most servers I have played in dont allow access to secondary weapons ... maybe the Devs could send out a memo to all Server Admins?

First Strike does not have unlocks. All weapons are avaiable from start. Some servers have a incorrect setting, which does not allow you to use all weapons.

Just pick another server.

So it does not involve ranked or unranked or your BF2142 account.

I hope that whole thing make sense XD

Maybe the shoot through shields is a bit too powerful, but in close quarters this thing would get blown away by even a pistol, 1 second to charge, no crosshairs, horrible accuracy, and a five second recharge.

That is emphatically not true.

Some servers have their settings jacked up so they won't appear, just keep looking for the right servers.

^ (To above poster) Hmm, I've had some of the unlocks unusable... But I've seen other people using them, what's with that?

Re: Sniper Rifles

There's alot of "Sniper Rifles." The actual bolt-action Sniper Rifles in the trooper kit, The semi-auto marksman weapon like sniper rifles in the medic kit, and the thing in the support kit I haven't really used...
