I see your thought process here Shiner, but I don't think I'll be doing this.

I'm not sure the point of having a character specialized in say, engineer class. Because, if suddenly in the game you need an engineer, you can't log out and log back in to use him.

Why not just have one character that you specialize early like I mentioned in my unlocks thread, then always use that kit that you have unlocks in. That way you have all the best tools of one particular kit, while your squadmate (hopefully) has all the best tools of another kit. Effectively you get a better and more powerful squad. As we all play more we'll unlock enough stuff to have maybe 2 or 3 powerful kits, and you get to diversify like that.

I can see, from just a bored standpoint, if you want to have separate accounts to have full power in more than one kit. Thats fine, but as to your point of trying out other unlocks, you get to do that quickly and easily through field upgrades. If you play effectively in a squad you get these things FAST. In 1.5 hours of play I had only unlocked 4 things, but had access to (I think) almost every tier 1 set of unlocks for every kit.

The other problem is that, yes it only takes an hour or so to get your first 4 unlocks, but you have to remember those all aren't necessarily going to go into a kit specific unlock. I mean they can, but your character isn't going to have grenades, sprint, or any kind of squad leader assets. To get that stuff PLUS tech up in one kit is going to probably take 6 or 7 hours, minimum. So your effectively burning unlocks to keep getting the basics over and over again.

I'd rather devote all the experience to one character, thus getting him more diverse and powerful, than 3 or 4 characters that specialize.
