And here is the cool thing about the suit customization: You can pretty much use any of the above weapons for any class, I won't stop you from trying to bring a rocket launcher with your recon!

The cool thing with campaign is that you can play through pretty much the entire story up to 7 players giving an 8(!) player coop campaign which is quite damn impressive.

After having just completed said campaign, I can say that only get this if you find the core loop of squad combat particularly engrossing.
