[SUGGESTION] Gear Update | Forums

[jamie131313]

I would like to start of by saying I love the game. You guys at Ubisoft Paris, despite criticism, smashed it delivering a game that is the most realistic open world modern shooter I have ever seen on console.

Now on to weapons and gear -

The game came out with a strange mix of weapons and the latest update used the trailer so suggest we were getting lots more gear and weapons but only two proper new weapons and a lot of strange gear.

Suggestions:

As many people will tell you the key weapons systems you need for a spec ops game are as follows:

Glock 17
P226 Navy
HK 146 (short barrel) 10 inch barrel
HK MP5SD-N2
Colt M4A1 (short barrel)
Daniel Defence DDM4 MK18
HK417
Knights Armament SR-25 (long suppressor)
FN M240B

Now I am no expert on vests and helmets, but these weapons should have come an standard when the game first released. If there is a legal reason, please just be upfront with us about that.

If you offered a £20 pack, a Special Forces weapon pack, that contained these weapons I and many other people would buy that in a heart beat. With Special Operation 3 and 4 on the way please consider these additions, I think they would go a long long way to helping the community last through to year 3.

N.B. Please break up the sets like the Ghost Recon Future Soldier in to bits so we can customise, like the gladiator gear.

Glock 17

A Glock pistol has been a common request. I'd personally prefer either a 19M or a 19X, but I'd be happy with any model that's 9mm and not an 18. Ubisoft went way overboard with the .45s, IMO.

P226 Navy

The P227 is already in the game and the same basic pistol aside from caliber and some minor design differences. Plus, there are enough full size pistols and not enough compact pistols. I'd rather have one of SIG's newer offerings, such as a P250 Compact, P320 Compact, or M18 MHS.

The Ghosts aren't a Navy unit anyway.

HK 146 (short barrel) 10 inch barrel

A short barrel and fix for the HK416's iron sights will be included in a forthcoming fix (release TBA).

HK MP5SD-N2

Not something on my personal want list, but I hope Ubi decides to add it for you and others that do want it.

Colt M4A1 (short barrel)
Daniel Defence DDM4 MK18

Both also common requests.

HK417

I'd welcome an HK417, preferably the updated A2 model, as long as it's in the assault rifle category. Putting it in the sniper rifle category would make it redundant as we already have the G28, a derivative of the HK417.

Knights Armament SR-25 (long suppressor)

There's already a modern SR-25 in the game, so adding a legacy version would be redundant. And that foot-long suppressor is ridiculously unwieldy IRL.

FN M240B

Really not designed for use as an individual soldier's weapon. Too long and too heavy. The Mk 48 already in the game was built specifically because SOF found the M240 too cumbersome for dismounted use.
