I play on ps5 and for closed weapons it was almost not possible to get a match started because the server got not filled up.
Maybe that’s because in all their wisdom they decided that this shouldn’t be the default but rather an exception. So by default most people are just loading in conquest because they don’t know any better.
That doesn’t mean people prefer open over closed weapons. That also doesn’t mean open is better than closed. It’s just a practical result of a choice that was already made for us.
Quoting a gaming journalist: “it’s the gen-z solution. Everyone should be able to pick everything, if you can’t pick everything you don’t feel the full freedom, and if you don’t feel the full freedom, then you can’t fully enjoy our game.”
Having restrictions makes you think more about which class you should choose and which weapons come with that class. And the perks you get should also complement the weapons you get. playing engineer and being able to bring a sniper rifle is just stupid. Playing a recon and being able to bring an LMG…just as stupid.

If you play Battlefield as you should be playing it the open weapon system feels versatile. I can equip the gun im used to and help out my team as a support for a few minutes.
In the end i don't really care i will play it either way.

“Since 1942” makes you a veteran, but “200-400h” I’d consider ‘casual’ XD

The thing is, this game has to last 3 years at least. In the beginning it might seem fun, but when the cracks start to appear in the balancing, that’s where this issue will become really apparent. I guess we’ll see eventually, but if it becomes a problem, it will be too late to fix it.
