Why so few weapons?
Some of you may rebut this with "Well if you had more guns, they would all feel the same". I never felt that way with previous releases. Only two LMGs is laughable and only further illustrates that...
Forum Discussion
Having less weapons is less of a pain in the * to balance them to each other. So yes, the "Well if you had more guns, they would all feel the same" argument is indeed valid. Especially with modern guns, which are mostly based on AK or AR-15 platforms or even better, straight up clones or just minor improvements for them. There´re just a small amount of modern guns, which are actually somewhat unique from the usual design of modern weapons.
If you want a * of weapons, where the uniqueness is bigger, go to WW1 and WW2 weapons.
No. * that. Add more guns.
Hell, they could have half assed it and added all the BF4 guns, and just added fresh textures.
The lack of guns in the game is a joke. And the fact you suggest we play an older game? Unacceptable

More guns aren´t going to help the balance and only make it more difficult to do so more literally no reason. It was already time that we have actually less weapons, which anyway played the same. This game has problems enough and don´t need more by pointlessly adding weapons.
My guess is that they cut out a fair number of them to sell/release during the season packs like CoD 2018 does with the battlepass.
The lack of accessibility and contend is what will make 2042 DOA.
If friends can't even search a server, stay together as a squad or I cant even selected what map i wanna play on, its a major issue. We has all this stuff in past BF games so limiting gamers (esp on a PC) options is never a smart thing. Contend wise, 2042 is so bare bone, it feels unfinished at times. I think BF 4 has over 70 weapons at launch AND a single player AND TDM and Rush modes and more. And this esp. hurts even more as there is no single player. For 3 years work, there is little to show for. Even with a pandemic.
My concern isn't with balance, it's with lack of customization and variety. It's 2042. Somehow we have less guns than we did in WW2.
Optics and attachments are subpar and don't allow for enough variations of weaponry and play styles on the battlefield.
- @TasharaFus I think thats maybe the trick behind portal..
You dont like the main game? Go and play portal and create your own game - Problem solved.
But I agree a greater variation would be great.
At least an ak100 or ar base with the opportunity to use c-mags or so.. to give rifles/lmg users more options instead of 2 beltfed lmg's - for example.
Or the remade XM8 from BC2 which would fit pretty good in the 2042 setting with all it's variations of saw, sniper etc..
1 Rifle, useable for all "classes".
But yeah as @-DFA-Thump pointed out, probably cut out for future content. And the portal classes and lacking in every aspect of the game too
- @bward54 Holy necro thread. What portal classes are you talking about?
