Alright, so there have been many discussions going on about various things.
The two most prominent (apart from bugs etc) that come to my mind are the overpresence of the AVT and MKB weapons, and that Full Realism and Relaxed Realism are not very different from one another except for some HUD changes.
Considering the design team decided to focus the game more on semi- and fully automatic weapons instead of bolt action rifles, and on top of that decided the make the prototype weapons available for every Assault trooper instead of just Heroes, that seems unlikely to change.
But considering the fact that many fans are upset about these decisions (to put it lightly), would it not be possible for TWI to make a concession, and add onto the Full Realism mode with a more historical loadout?
That would mean less semi and fully automatic weapons, MKB and AVT available ONLY for Heroes, and with a bigger focus on the trusty bolt action rifle?
This has multiple upsides imo.
First of all, there is a bigger difference between Relaxed Realism and Full Realism.
But more importantly, the fans who want a more historically authentic game can now have it without resorting to mods and mutators, which imho is a very bad thing to make us rely on.
At the same time, people who do not care so much and want to use all the weapons (as if they couldnt in Firefight mode, but that aside) can still play the game as it is now in Relaxed Realism mode.
There are ofcourse other things people are arguing about, like the lack of sway after you are done sprinting. This is however not such a clearcut thing we can all agree on i think.
The upside of the no sway after sprinting is for example that it makes it easier to attack an objective, which can only be good for gameplay i think considering how many people like to hang back. There are two sides to that particular coin.
However, i think we can all agree there is an overabundance of semi's and assault rifles, with the MKB and AVT particularly offending.
So, i think a poll is appropriate. Vote yes if you agree with me and want a more historical loadout and prototypes for Heroes only for Full Realism mode.
Otherwise, gtfo. (just kidding, just vote no)
