To the Battlefield Devs,
This has made me furious and stress enough that portal weapons you added is not how I expected.
Straatford with all due respect I don't understand that adding portal weapons with little attachments was all of your ideas. Like it does not make any sense why add portal weapons with little attachments and add assignments to it. I was so excited to unlock this weapon because I expected that I could add bf2042 attachments to it but it seems like I was wrong. So I am asking all the devs and also you Straatford to add bf2042 attachments to the portal weapons if you are planning to add it on AOW or All Out Warfare. Ravic also mentioned this "The Portal weapons like the M16A3 and M60E4 don't use the same attachments as the base BF2042 weapons and they don't have hardware appearances or camos available to them which raises some questions to me because I thought the reason they were taking so long to bring those over from portal was because they had to adjust the models to allow them to be used with the base game attachments and camos.
If they weren't spending their time doing that then all they really did was create a tac-sprint animation for them and give them separate stats from the Portal version ( I think ). I'm not saying that is a quick thing to do but it makes me wonder now about where resources are being used and who is working on what. Not trying to make a negative point with this I was just confused by it from my perspective. There is likely some reasoning behind this that we aren't aware of ( data, memory related, etc. ) and stuff being earmarked for content down the road." See what Ravic has to say about the portal weapons being added on AOW, it does make me question the whole developer of DICE, why are there no bf2042 attachments on M60 and M16, how come the new season 2 attachments get to have better attachments, DICE please this isn't just about adding weapons but also adding attachments on Portal weapons, it limits the players of customizing their weapons to their preferred style.
Also why is the M60E4 has 58 Damage which is outgunned by a PKP that has 60+ damage I thought this was gun was part in the category of Light Heavy Machineguns' because of how it's chambered in 7.62mm its all in the description in every battlefield game. This gun should have been dealing 64.5 damage per shot and has slower rate of fire.
Come on DICE this guns doesn't make any sense and people wouldn't be doing this assignment because once they knew that the portal weapon you added in AOW is useless it won't be used as is.
