Is there a multiplayer weapon selection screen and I'm just missing it, or is there none? Because that is really quite stupid to leave out.

Weapon selection? I don't follow.

To rephrase..

"why isnt this game like cod4?"

No it's like Old School to put it in a Post COD4 phrase. Still we don't need it in most maps there are weapons racks at the spawn points.

Just enjoy the Haze that surrounds you.
