Re: 1200 kills per weapon?

BF1 had it right. The basic weapons were decent and all you unlocked was variety and flexibility not raw power.

To be fair to DICE even BF4 (and BF3? I can barely remember) did it this way.

I've never understood the 'design'. It creates a fake power gap (that people call a 'skill' gap when it isn't) handing more raw power to people that have more time to play is a double-whammy to noobs and casuals.

Unfair, frustrating and off-putting.

And I'm someone who is now rank 128 and has a ton of time to play and a ton of unlocks. It's not fair and I don't want it. Something else I've never understood is supposedly 'skilled' players who are happy to noob stomp.

It's not going to change, though. EA/DICE want to push people to pay to unlock stuff.
