in the ingame and the weapon select i can see only sub machine guns and pistols
at the begining i was able to see those weapons but no longer... they dissapeard
they are not locked... they are just not there 0_o

are you light body type?

lights can only use smg+pistol

were you using ARs with a light? if so naughty naughty

lol i am new at brink...
yes i belive this is the problem

there was a problem initially where any body could use any gun. this makes lights too deadly. (i found out by mistake and had a light with a minigun!). the different guns for different sizes helps balancing.

if you like lights you can use knife and pistol as secondary - thats lots of fun.

btw - most of the AR guns (rhett, gerund etc) arent much better than the SMGs. in many circumstances the SMGs are better (i.e. close range)

by the way - welcome to brink hope you like the game. it must be a bit intimidating for newbies when a lot of us know the game inside out now. best play on the new maps at first - we dont, know them very well yet. i have only played 1 of them online and i still run around getting lost!
