It's kinda hard to get excited about "weapon customization" used as a selling point when the options for red dots are all too likely going to be limited to same old tired video game favorite NcStar type sub-par Chinese made red dot's seen in previous games & FC5 game play ...or ACOG's mounted 5"-10" to far forward to be functional.
I think especially now that the game is set in the States it would be good to get some Red Dot's/Holographic that is actually worth a damn either the Aimpoint EOTech or Trijicon would be a far better option to what has previously been on offer in FarCry as they are the leading Red Dot/Holographic sights for serious American shooters to use on their firearms.
(Fix for the ACOG) Trijicon ACOG needs to be mounted further back on firearms as the eye relief is 1.5"-1.75" on the 4x32 models, and could use a larger field of view and better reticle as well.

I hope they expand a bit on weapon customization. I don't think they need to get to GRW levels with trigger mechanisms or barrels & stuff, but I hope they add a few more optics choices like the holo sight you've mentioned and things like barrel mounted grenade launchers or shotguns, laser sights, foregrips & such. I think the fact that they've specifically mentioned it in some of the announcement materials to me at least suggests there are going to be some additions, otherwise it seems more like a foregone conclusion, but to mention it at all, to me, suggests there are at least some level of addition/ improvements to the customization... fingers crossed.
