i didnt post the health stuff bc i didnt quite understand it. Also, i changed two of the names and some weapons that i thought better fit the classes. I also am proposing the idea the you unlock these classes at different ranks. so something along these lines. then add this with toast's weapons cache idea. when you unlock a class, you unlock those weapons in the class for the weapons cache. when using custom layouts from the cache, the primary weapon would determine your speed.

Thats Pretty good!

[Mexicouger]

Please don`t quote long paragraphs like that... We know you are replyin to the other 1 post on this thread...

[Nixtwiz]

That wasn't a quote. I made my own adjustments to it.

[DukeInstinct]

I got a new idea for our class system.

We'll have five core classes: Rifleman, Support gunner, Special Ops, Demolitions, and CQC. The more you play of one specific class you unlock similar classes. But sucking at one of the unlocked classes will cause it to be relocked.

Rifleman -> Marksman -> Sniper
Support gunner -> Light machine gunner -> Heavy machine gunner (can't think of better titles at the moment)
Recon -> Special Ops -> Commando
Demolitions -> Grenadier -> Heavy weapons
Shotgunner -> Shock trooper -> Flamethrower

The core classes will be generally easier to use, but the more advanced classes are deadlier IF used competently.

I'm thinking this system will give players a more specific role in multiplayer matches.

[Nixtwiz]

i like it. now, what if we added another little thing? each class has a special ability. one can sprint fast, one has higher explosive damage, one carries extra ammo, etc. what do you think?

[Sarge127]

What about some DLC? Downloadable Content. This soldier will carry any rifle... idk, call him HeroOfMany. Hence a HOM unit.
H.O.M

HeroOfMany:
Primary:Sniper, Rifle, Shotgun, ETC. (All Primarys).
Secondary:Pistol, SMG, ETC. (All Secondarys +Silencers).
Melee: Any animation (Like how spartans Assassinate).
Special Weapon:RPG, AT4, ETC. (All Heavies).

IDK its just like a Supersoldier. what do you think?

It's good. I think the commando should have my silenced sniper MP5 along with a silenced pistol.
also, demolitions should have the LAW instead of a pistol.
what if we changed it a little to be like this.
Each class has a certain usable weapon class. Standard rank ups can unlock different weapons from certain classes (Assault weapons, Light Snipers, Heavy Snipers, Etc.)
Every Tier has a gun assigned to it, but if you unlock any weapons that fit its weapon class, you can choose which to use. below may explain it a little more.

MARKSMAN (All scoped weapons, Silenced Pistols)
-Rifleman
STANDARD-AK47 W/ Short Scope
(Assault Weapon with close range scope (M16, AK47, etc.)

-> Marksman
STANDARD-SVD
(Light Semi-Auto Snipers(SVD, WA2000, Etc.)

-> Sniper
STANDARD-TYPE 96 (A.K.A. MK96/L96)
(Heavy Bolt-Action Snipers (L96, Barrett M90, Etc.)

SUPPORT GUNNER (All Extended Mags and RED DOT SIGHTS (Box Mags))
-> Support gunner
STANDARD-M16 w/ box mag
(Assault Weapon with Box Mags (ak47's, m16's, etc.))

-> Heavy Gunner
STANDARD-XM8 LMG
(Heavy Assault (SAW, M60, Etc.))

-> Chain Gunner
STANDARD-MINIGUN

RECON (all weapons silenced)
-> Recon
STANDARD-MP5 SOPMOD
(silenced smg, possible red dot (MP5 Sopmod, P90 Sopmod, etc.)

-> Special Ops
STANDARD-M4 SOPMOD
(silenced light assault/smg(ie: MP5 TSRS, M4 Sopmod, etc.)

-> Commando
 (UNKNOWN)

DEMOLITIONS (all have an explosive, mid range special weapon, ie: AT4, LAW, RPG, Etc.)
->Demolitions
STANDARD-Remington 870
(shotguns (R870, SPAS12, STRIKER)

-> Grenadier
STANDARD-FAMAS w/ grenade launcher
(Assault w/ grenade launcher (M16, FAMAS, FAL, Etc.)

-> Heavy Demolitions
STANDARD-SAW
(Heavy Assault(SAW,M60,etc.)

HEAVY WEAPONS
->Shock Trooper
STANDARD-R870
Pump Shotguns (R870, etc.)

-> Heavy Assault Trooper
STANDARD-SPAS12

Add this with Duke's melee weapons, grenades, special grenades, and equipment (C4, etc.)
