What is happening here?
To start, I get that EA wants to release new weapons but buffing the stats to be the best when the weapons themselves don't even make sense, is a reach, IMO.
In no reality does a rifle typically chambered in 7.62 (scout mini) have a higher muzzle velocity than a .300WM (M2010 ESR). 
Putting that aside, why are we trying to compete with the degeneracy that COD throws out by making skins with soldiers wearing literal capes. "bUt ThE cApEs HaVe JiGgLe PhYsIcS" -who gives a flying fk.
EA - You cannot put out commercials shtting on CoD then in the same breath push out the exact same content. Is this Battlefield, or this CoD?  If it's the latter, please get the devs on board from BF3/BF4 or even Bad Company 2 and put together something that makes sense.  
Unless we want to go full degen, then make an in game skin/item trading platform and connect it to the Solana chain and let it run wild.
