Several posts have been brought up about what we'd like for new unlocks, and i've posted on these topics about an alternative for new unlocks, and in the interest of not hijacking their threads I decided to post a topic of my own. What do you fellow bf2s forum readers think?
I've put a bit of thought into this, there are 7 unlocks (14 if you're lucky enough to have SF) but waaaaaaaaay more ranks then that.. And that didn't seem fair, at least to me. What happens when you're a Captain or Major nowadays? Nothing to look forward to but badges and ribbons, if you're into all that.
My thoughts were either to spread out the unlocks between ranks (ie only get an unlock after evy 2 or 3 promotion [but then those of us that don't get to play much would never get them]) or adding something 'else' to unlock. But I wasn't so sure about EA adding a gazzilion + 1 new weapons to the game.
What about just adding enhancements to the current weapons? Not talking outrageous 'uber' lasers or '733t guided rocket propelled heat seeking bullets'. No, the train of thought I was on was more like, for example, the option to customize your weapon with a laser sight (for those who don't like iron sights), or a scope that lets you see farther, or adding a longer barrel to decrease bullet drop (obviously for the snipers), or larger magazines for less reloading, or silencers/flash suppressors, or being able to use hollow-point rounds for slightly more damage (with increased bullet drop for lesseend range or fewer mags as a balance, if one is deemed necessary).
Just little things along those lines that really wouldn't eschew the game too much but maybe just give you that little bit of an edge, both in game and psychologically.
Discuss amongst yourselves
