Devs: Customisable/ adjustable attachments
Hi,
I think an opportunity has been missed regarding the weapon attachments.
I say "missed" because I think there would be far too much work involved in implementing adjustability of weapon attachments, with us being so close to release.
I briefly tried Delta Force (while we were all climbing the walls waiting for BF6 to arrive!). I won't talk too much about DF as this a BF forum.
DF was nothing amazing to me. For a free to play game, it's a lot of game. But it was forgettable and I have since deleted it.
However, one thing I was blown away by with DF was the level of adjustment/ customisation available for the weapon attachments. I've (personally) never seen anything like it in any other game.
in DF, after choosing and fitting attachments to your weapon, I was amazed to find that you could then adjust them! Grips, scopes, stocks etc could all be adjusted.
Grips can be moved forwards or backwards, offering improved weapon behaviour. Not just selecting "front" or "back", but you could literally move the grip along the lower rail incrementally.
Scopes could be moved forwards or backwards in the same way, offering adjustment to eye relief.
Stocks could be shortened or lengthened to adjust weapon handling.
I found this truly impressive. So not only do the attachments themselves effect weapon behaviour, but they could then be further tweaked.
It's a shame that Dice didn't pursue this with BF6.
Can this be added in the future? I'm doubtful.
I imagine it would require far too much work to code in all the additional values that come with all the degrees of adjustment that would be available with the attachments.
Just thought I'd mention this as I really do think it was a missed opportunity.
