Weapon and Class unlock system.

Ill start off by saying that the game is a nice refreshing start, feels like I'm playing battlefield 4 all over again and I'm all for it. However the unlock system for the game is absurdly and utterly insane, and that's coming from someone who sat through the entire morse code section of the SAA Easter Egg of Battlefield 1 for around 13 hours trying to decipher it with just a basic morse code guide and nothing better to do. 

To start with, the class system. A great assignment list, yet the stats to unlock are absurdly high to get and or borderline impossible unless you have a friend who can assist you directly. The biggest culprit of that issue is for Assignment Engineer 3: Deal 1000 damage to Laser Designated Enemy vehicles. Doesnt sound too hard overall, honestly could be the most simple if it wasn't for the fact that nobody has the laser designator equipped, or if they do, barely use it as you have to sit still for a solid 5 seconds in an exposed position as it scans the target. The second hardest in my eyes is Get 10 headshot kills over 200Meters in a single match. Good luck with that on 95% of the maps where CQC is the biggest concern. 

But those class challenges are nothing in comparison to the hair tearing pain of the weapon unlock list requirements. +/-1000 kills with assault rifles in order to unlock all three, not including the overall damage requirements. 350 for the Carbines, not including the 300 headshot kills that are required as well. 500, +/- at least 40 kills as multi kills for the SMG's. 30 sets of double kills with the LMG's, plus the 300 people you have to avoid hitting in order to get the suppress enemy challenge done. And lastly, the easiest statistically, yet hardest in my efforts, 100 headshot kills with DMRs, and 150 200+m headshot kills with sniper rifles and 300 general kills with sniper rifles. 

Sorry for the long tangent about the stats, if you skipped all that, all you need to know is in order to unlock all the weapons, youll need to kill 2500+ people in order to unlock every gun. That isn't even thinking about the attachments... 

EA needs to address this and make the challenges simpler. Instead of needing to kill hundreds of people for a single gun, perhaps just a solid 100 would be better overall. Keeps people trying to get better, but also doesn't make them spend days or weeks playing in order to get themselves a single weapon.

Thank you so much for reading, if you have any inputs or fact checks for the list, please let me know.
