i suggest that selection of class is delayed for 20 seconds because people with slower computers can't choose to be marksman, commander or assault class only because game loads slow on their computer. so, when all people log in then class selection become avaliable

very smart answers. in fact, i'm good player and i get often battlefield commision. i don't like to play with sniper, but when i get BC i take marksman class just to get mad player that played with it. because it just isn't fair to player with best computer always is marksman. and often he is useless, he just camps away from battlefiled and gets only few kills, can't defend, can't take any objective...

? marksman=sharpshooter=sniper. you think rifleman?

-----------------

how should marksman level up then when he is camping on spawn? i don't know for you, but when i play as marksman, especially on spartanovka i take objectives. and it's even easier to shoot someone because they are closer. so what if you die once or ten times, is there difference? we always have enough reinforcement, or same amount as enemy in particular time.

99% of marksman don't take out enemy soliders (machine gunner, enemy marksman) which they should, i take them out with mp40. throw smoke, enter the building, then clear them out. people are afraid to get killed in this game. and this game isn't about killing it's primarly about taking objectives.

anyway, this topic isn't about marksman class, it's about FAIR CLASS SELECTION FOR EVERYONE (not yelling, just pointing out)

People have been complaining about this since the mod days.... it's not going to change.

In the Mod and RO1, my old computer usually loaded up faster then everybody else and I had no issue getting the class I wanted.

Now with RO2 and my new system, I'm not as fast as I used to be and sometimes don't always get the class I want.

I personally don't care, I pick what is available or I go play on another server.

If your computer is that slow, then upgrade your system. Making everybody wait 20 seconds or more before they can pick a class won't solve anything as the people with the lower pings and faster computers will still have a speed advantage over others when it comes to selecting a class, thus you'll still have people trying to race to the class they want and still have people coming into the forums complaining that they still can't get the classes they want.

Live with it like everybody else.

I've been on both ends of this topic.... being the one with the fastest system and now the person with the average/low system not always being able to pick the class I want..... them's the breaks.

If you're using the marksman as an offensive class to attack and cap objectives, fighting in close quarters, then you're worse than the guy staying back behind the lines providing long range support as he's supposed to..... You deserve to have the class taken from you in the next round, because what you really want is a rifleman if you're going to play that way.

So he's doing his job, then?

Marksman's job is to take out MGs and enemy snipers. He's also supposed to call out enemy movement, but not many do.

That would make sense if the sniper had real scope by default. The 1.5X scope is basically the same as any rifle's bionic zoom. He's in no better position to spot enemies than anyone else.

i enter in game faster then 70% of people, so mostly i can choose class that i want, i'm just talking about other people with slower computers.

if marksman only camps, how people can level up this class then? you get most points for capturing objecitve. for shooting enemy in objecitve zone is very slow leveling. marksman can play offensive if player playing it knows how to do this. for example in spartanovka or fallen fighters. no, marksman isn't going to capture building and fight close quarters. but, if people know how to use pistol, marksman is also good in close quarters, for example against rifleman. and if rifleman miss first shot, he is dead. i'm saying that marksman can capture objectives that are on open maps and areas, not assaulting bulidings.

ok, if it isn't going to change, topic can be locked. please, lock this

btw, thanks on info
