Weapon leveling needs its former glory (for new Battlefield)

Just hoping the Devs add much mode to weapon leveling like it used to be back in BF3-BF1 with service stars and much more than just "get 1200 kills to max level" like in 2042, that system was so unimaginably boring and it took me like 3 days to max out any weapon. Just really would like the old service stars model back, or if its not that something that goes further than just kill farming, maybe weapon specific challenges to increase levels or allow people to show their proficiency with their favorite weapons in more ways than just "I kill farmed with it for a day" 2042 was the best example of what not to do to make us enjoy a battlefield. saw leaks of the weapon leveling badges and they look identical to 2042 and it has me worried its just gonna be the same boring kill grind. At least don't add a max level, if people really like a certain weapon and they use it a ton they should be able to level the weapon unlimited over time to show how much they have done with it.

just my thoughts, please share your thoughts on weapon leveling if you got any ideas for a better system than 2042s or anything.    :)
