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 EA/DICE REALLY REALLY wanted weapons to be unlocked for everyone to use with specialists.
Imagine if they kept the class system and Support characters could only use two LMGs!
I really don't understand the design choices in this game
I agree more guns is more variety and more variety is more fun. I think the design logic might have been that they see in previous games that most people never use most of the weapons because they choose the best one or because they had already unlocked all the attachments on one and don't want to use a new "worse gun" while they unlock everything again. I think for guns of the same class, there can be very few stat differences that can be made without one gun being objectively worse than the other and thus not used. Maybe it would be better if they just released new guns with the same stats overall as the "best" gun in it's class? Then you could really choose the gun you like without having to worry if it is worse than the other guns in that class.

@Terminator000001Oh the irony. We have the least amount of guns at release out of any BF game, and probably the worst balance too. PP29 is more potent than M16A3 in BF3 or Ace-23 in BF4. Hell even Kriss vector from Hardline wasn't so stupidly broken when it came out.
Going further, you probably have very little knowledge of modern weapons or simply haven't played BF4. There are a ton weapons with unique characteristics out there. Famas\AEK with crazy rate of fire. Sar/AUG with slower rate of fire and low recoil for medium range. Scar H/bulldog with high damage, low ROF and higer recoil for people who want to master guns that require more skill. And same goes for every weapon category. Here we have absolutely no variety.
2 LMGs that functions almost identical.
2 sniper rifles with 1 being 100% better than the first one.
No fast sniper rifles for closer range engagements if people into that like SV98 or M40A5.
The list just keeps going.
Any SMG in 2042 benefits the same way from the problems that any other automatic weapon suffers with the bullet spread. The PP29 only sticks out because just because of "DUH... MUH BIG MAGAZINE!".
And yeah, I did play BF4 and this game horribly bored me to death with its more than casual CoD gunplay (and people favouring CoD maps in a goddamn Battlefield), with AEK being one of the lamest meta weapons with the super high RoF and being accurate from the hip and the Galil just being a M16 reskin from BF3. And no, modern weapons are boring as hell compared to the uniqueness of historical weapons. It´s literally the same as the comparison of historical cars vs modern ones. The modern ones are ugly as hell, full of useless toys nobody needs and totally unreliable. While historical cars are literal art.
LOL BF2 came out in 2005! and is not an argument for not having more guns in a 2021 game! The world is at our finger tips, this game should have had more guns hands down. Its not a MILSIM! Heck even Milsims have more guns than this game.
I think SQUAD has more guns in their game than this, and emplacements!!!!!!!
BF2042 has lost so many BF staples, and for the people that say balance etc. I think your arguments is void
The other argument that "they will come in the future" is also a slap in the face... lol all the fixes and a "Good Product" are in the future, wait to sell your product then!!!!!!
We are like 20-30 weapons short atm for something acceptable imo
BF3 - shipped 50+ Guns including Launchers
BF4 - shipped 70+ Guns not including Launchers
BF2042 - >30 Guns including Launchers
And the portal classes and lacking in every aspect of the game too
I wish we could get more guns during the season

@UP_LordPlumberagree with you. In BF3 EVERY WEAPON FELT UNIQUE. In BF4 some felt a bit similar but in reality they were all unique in some way of its own. In 2042 we don't have variety at all. We have 6 actual assault rifles and 3 are similar (sfar, ak24, rm68) and 2 are also similar (m5a3 and am40) so would people say that "all weapons are the same" cause 2042 does what bf4 did but with less weapons.
I agree. But I wish we had more of them
