Unlocking attachments it still absurd...
Why do I have to unlock 6 varietes of foregrips that all slightly reduce recoil and 7 varieties of 1ish-X sight before unlocking anything that is even slightly different? If I want to use a suppressor, I have to get to level 20+ for most guns, which means hours and hours of grinding. Why in the world would anyone want to use a 20rd magazine on an assault rifle? Unlocking that is just a waste of levels, AND YOU HAVE TO UNLOCK TWO TYPES OF THEM before getting a 30-fast or 36rd.
Using new guns is absoultely unbearable, and I always revert to the ones I already have attatchmets for which make the game boring. You were to be able to grind bots (like EA promised and then removed) to unlock attachments in the past, but that hasn't been a possiblity since the first few weeks of the game.
Unlocking attachments in this battlefield is 3-10x more time consuming than any other battlefield game.
Seriously, f*** you to whoever came up with the weapon progression in this game. I would love to tell that person, to their face, that they should eat s**t and die. The "progression" is really just grind; the worst, laziest, most ridiculous, irritating, and boring mechanic in any FPS ever made. I'd rather dig a hole in my back yard and then fill it back in, over and over and over again because at least I'd get some exercise. It is genuinely more enjoyable to watch grass grow.
Sincerely,
Someone who wanted to try out the new weapons and will now probably never buy another battlefield game (for a lot of reasons, but the grind is a major one).
