A sandbox he says.
Limit customization he says.
So you want a Sandbox filled with concrete bricks?
Having a bunch of customizations for your weapon is part of the sandbox.
Give me in game currency to purchase whatever attachment I want as so to avoid the whole get 1000 kills to unlock x attachment.
Instead just PTFO level up get currency and new weapons, with what you have banked buy whatever attachments you want.
Even better is just let me pick and choose attachments to a weight limit.
I do still live level unlocks because they give a sense of purpose early game, once you ahve the gameplay loop down, you can enjoy the weapon you have made endlessly.
Let me choose what kind of sight I want on my gun.
I actually hate Red Dot sights......but the Kobra....thats my jam.
BF1 and BFV went backwards with weapon customization, BF1 was just trash....BFV is effectively the same system with an illusion of depth.
BF1 would literally devolve into everyone in class X using the exact same gun because there was a good one.
With BF3 and BF4 even if there were weapons that were favored by the community you could still customize something else to get a weapon that felt right.
Weapons is one of the things that BF3 and BF4 actually got right.
Bring back the Kobra!
