Additional thoughts after a lot of time with the beta
- Assault rifles should be locked to Assault to make it attractive and keep these powerful weapons off of other classes
- Deploy beacon should remain with Recon
- Sniper rifles should be locked to Recon to make it attractive and keep this weapon off of other classes
- Support's "signature" for LMGs should offer a slightly faster reload time for LMGs
- Assault's signature gadget should be ammo boxes, not a fan of the stim still
Reason this is a good setup:
Assault is heavily defined by its weapons, since it's an infantry killing specialist. Same for Recon, it should have exclusive access to sniper rifles because of its role in combat. Engineers have rocket launchers and supports have the ability to heal and revive which is ludicrously powerful. Being able to reload LMGs faster would remove a serious handicap of their usage and mean support would be a lot more attractive, but not lock classes like assault and engineer for using them for suppression.
