All right, after Mag kept telling me that Origin is perfectly safe to use and won't secretly activate a web cam, copy the contents of my hard drive and sell them to the Nigerian Royal Court.

Question: Is the Ultimate Shortcut Pack worth the $40?

I played the Xbox 360 version and the one I just bought is the PC version because I'm told it's a better game.

No, the Ultimate Shortcut Bundle unlocks all the weapons (just not the attachments) and I just wanted to know if it was worth it because someone told me the default guns are pretty much as good as anything else you could unlock. I wanted to know if anyone had bought it and what they thought of it.

Does that $40 include the base game? If so, it seems like a good deal. If not, it seems like a pretty big rip-off, especially since the attachments remain unlocked. Guns unlock fairly fast with persistence and the early unlockable weapons are not that bad at all.

OK, that's what I needed to know.

yeah, guns unlock fast,

Go through COOP first, and unlock some weapons, that way you have a Gun that you can use for Both sides online, because its starts you with a specific weapon for US/RU which makes unlocking stuff for them Twice as long.

I personally Favor the G3A3 in Assault class, has power, in single shot mode can take down players in 2-3 shots, or 1 shot if he's not moving. with the 6x Rifle Scope its very good at anti sniper role, and has the range of most of the sniper rifles.


i seem to get the most points playing in Genbriens squad.. upwards of 10,000-15,000+.

my brother plays mostly TDM, which i was having good runs on, but now for some reason, not so much.

sent me a friends request (SkateZillaHD, or my brother BlueFlameHD), im usually on every evening EST during the week and more on the weekends.

Seems cheesy to sell all the unlocks when most of us have been trying to earn them the long hard way. I think its more enjoyable to unlock them yourself. Then you can focus on what weapons and attachments you want to unlock instead of having everything already there for you.
