Enemy Territory: Quake Wars - Character Classes/Rewards

*credit to BattleWiki for most of the information for PC release*

*credit to Vintoks for information relevant to 360 release*

Introduction

Players can select one of five character classes to utilize within ET:QW to accomplish their goals, and each of these classes may obtain "rewards" by obtaining experience.  It should be noted that all rewards and experience disappear at the end of each "match".  So, for Objective and Stopwatch based gamemodes, players will not retain any rewards from one map to the next.  Playing online with the Campaign gamemode, which is a gamemode that spans THREE maps, is different in that it allows rewards to carry over from one map to the next.  However, all rewards and experience disappear at the end of the three map match.  Rewards are distributed based off experience gained in any of the 5 Class categories which include:

1. Soldier / Aggressor
2. Medic / Technician
3. Engineer / Constructor
4. Field Ops / Oppressor
5. Covert Ops / Infiltrator

 There are also three levels of experience to be gained for each class, combined with a set of rewards that is given out for each level gained.  The amount of experience required to gain a level increases as progress is made and players are awarded "stars" to signify the level gained.  At this time I do not know the exact amount of experience necessary to gain levels, or how much experience you gain for individual actions (If you come across this info, please PM me).  It has also been noted that the Light Weapons and Battle Sense category upgrades have been removed from the Console version, with their respective rewards combined into class upgrades.  In addition, I have not discovered information relevant to the Vehicles and their respective rewards as well.  PM's would be appreciated if you uncover this information so this guide can be updated!

 

Global Defense Force Classes And Respective Rewards:

The Soldier's role is one of destruction.  With the ability to use HE Charges to complete objectives, an increased amount of health as well as having a bigger selection of weapons than other classes, the Soldier is an important and necessary addition to the battlefield.  The soldier's weapon layout includes the Assault Rifle, GMPG, Shotgun and the Rocket Launcher.  The following rewards can be unlocked:

Coy: Good stuff. The Medics drop an additional supply crate (the deployable) at 2 stars.

Yeah, I included that in there Vintoks and made sure to give you credit for digging up the relevant 360 information as well.  I like to make sure credit is given where needed.  :) 

Cheers again.

little addition to this. i dunno if its a glitch or something, but if you get level 3 with a soldier, it gives all the other classes  except for the infiltrator dual pistols. dunno if this happens online since i never got level 3 with a soldier online, but thats what happens in campaign. 
it might not happen to the medic either, not sure though. by the time i remembered to check the match ended and it was the last map of the area so all the upgrades went poof

Yea you can unlock the 3rd star dual pistols reward and then use them on any of the classes that can use the pistol, even if you don't have any experience in the new class you switched to. You can also stack grenades and ammo rewards by accumulating stars in several different classes.

I'm still looking for information on the vehicle rewards and to what extent they exist within the console version.  If anyone has info, please PM me.  Thanks.
