and is the Officer Class mandatory for all Squad Leaders?

no, but you'll be a helluva a lot more useful as an officer to your squad. Think of him as sort of a mini-commander

EDIT: ooh, and its easy to see which of your enemies are squad leaders, which I like because if you see an officer, you know his squad will be close by wink

Re: Gripes about the in-game video

So was I right on the other classes? I haven't been sure what the exact classes are...the features page says some stuff but it doesn't mention Heavy Weapons, and the wikipedia article, which I spiffed up by the way...before safe removed my stuff that is...says another thing...so can you say officially what are the classes? And like are there only 4?

Its all under wraps until its released, essentially. But I can tell you the feature page stuff is rather out of date.

Re: Gripes about the in-game video

Assault
Heavy Assault
Medic
Logistics
Officer

Each class (other than the Officer) has the ability to choose their primary weapon, and the way in which teh primary weapons are set up dictates the type of play style.

these are not BF style weapons that offer nothing more than slight accuracy changes, they vastly effect your role within that class.  As woody pointed out in his withering fire document, the Assault has a Short medium and long ranged weapon. This vastly effects his abilities at each range meaning he must choose the right tool for the job, to be the most effective.
