Re: See only the crosshair and cannot shoot

It sounds like you've experienced the no gun glitch.  This is a very common error on BF3 and even MoHW.  When I spawn with no hands and no weapon, I hit the button to switch weapons (Triangle on PS3, “Y” on Xbox, and whichever key you bound to swap weapons on PC), the game will hesitate slightly and my hands will appear with my pistol.  I hit the button again and it swaps at normal speed to my primary weapon.  This works every time for me.
