As the title says PLEASE add the option to have suppressors on the Assault variants of guns, specifically the 416!
Its even on the background as the game loads........
Also adding in an assault variant of the 516 would be awesome also !
Seconding this sentiment. Just because the variant system exists doesn't mean you should try to railroad us into using these variants for specific roles. It'd be nice to get back a customizable selective fire, as well; It's mental that certain weapons don't have a semi-auto mode when it's pretty much a staple of modern weaponry. Custom Barrel lengths would be stellar.
The vision behind the variant system is narrow-minded and flawed to begin with, and does more to hinder customization rather than expand on it. The very least you could do to correct this is give us back customization options that worked in the previous game.
I think the lmg needs a burst fire option, some will argue that an lmg is designed for laying down large quantities of fire to suppress the enemy and you would be right, but (and i can only speak for British forces) we are also taught that this is best achieved using bursts of fire, to maintain accuracy, conserve ammunition, and to maintain barrel integrity. If it is done in real life it should be an option in game.
