Those early squad points ... what do you plan on unlocking first?
From what I've heard from youtubers that have played the game, the SC2010 assault rifle is like the ACR of MW3 (low recoil) so it'll be the first gun that I try to unlock. SMGs, and this is my opinion, that I might try early are the MTAR-X and the Bizon, though I tend to find most SMGs work well.
I can't remember if you need squad points to unlock perks, if so, then I'll likely focus on those.
I'm going to struggle holding back from using points on extra loadouts. I love taking many options into the battle.
