!_Zombie_! said: You say you just want to add flavor to the game, but I don't want to sit at the trader deciding, "Oh which rifle should I get, they all seem the same to me but I'm not sure." Rainbow 6 gets away with if because it's a game based on realism and tactic where you can choose your loadout long before you see action.



And on hard or suicidal 6 players lined up with flamethrowers wont get as far as you think.



Your main argument seems to be "Options, options, options" in hindsight you'll realize it'd mess up the game. I don't want to be bogged down with choosing a gun. I want to buy my crap, get out, and set up a defensible point. Click to expand...

As for the penetration, how is 5.7x28 going to penetrate better than 5.56x45? Click to expand...

Then your same experience with flamethrowers on hard could be used for miniguns on hard. Hence, point proven.Unless you are mentally handicapped and have a hard time reading more than a few words within a minute, I highly doubt having more options would "mess up the game". As it is stands, I personally know exactly what I'm going to start the next wave with, unless I happen to want to experiment a bit. In which case, I still have plenty of time to choose.If you want to argue sometimes you don't get there with enough time..well, you aught to be planning on your way there. Saying variety is a bad idea because it gives players too many options is insanity.Variety and options is all games have started to become about lately. No one plays a linear game with one gun, when they can have many paths and many guns to choose from.it's a low velocity round made specifically to penetrate body armor. And I'm talking plates, not second chance vests.
