Hi,
so over the last couple days ive tought about a couple things i would like to see in breakpoint and thus i decided to make a post here, lets get into it.
Weapons
The available Arsenal in Breakpoint is quite extensive already but there is just something missing. Some more classic Boltaction Rifles.Dont get me wrong i like the Selection of SNRs we have but none of them have that 'classic' feel to them. I like Remington a lot so the Rfiles i picked are mostly Remington Models.
1. The Remington M40A5. This rifle used by the Usmc has been in Service since the 1960s, the most recent Varaint (A5) since 2009.
2. The Remington M24A3 SWS. In active use by the US Army since 1988.
3. The Rmeington Model 700. The grandfather of the two previous Rifles, This Gun has been the Epitome of Mid-range precision since the 1960s and has seen lots of use in Police and Military Forces around the World.
4. The McMillan TAC-338. Since we already have its Big Brother in the Game with the TAC-50 why not extend the family a little. The smaller Caliber Versions (TAC-300 and TAC-308) would work too.
Last but not least i wann throw in a Semi Auto Sniperrifle, my fav Firearm this world has to offer.
5. The Walther WA 2000. I know only 180 of these beautys were ever build but honestly its a Game, who cares?
Designed in the early 1970s this Rifle tried to be THE Semi Auto Bullpup Sniperrifle for Specialforces around the Globe, sadly production costs were very high so no Government picked it up. I just love this Rifle so i would probably Flip my Desk if we could use it in Breakpoint.
Gunsmith
Im mostly satisfied with the modifikation options but same as before there are some things missing.
1.Pistol Sights. More and More pistols already have or at least give the option to add a Reflex Sight on to the Slide. I remember that you could add a Sight to almost all if not all Pistols in Future Soldier, why not here?
2.Pistol Grips. Changing the Grip of a Rifle is pretty Basic, a lot of modern Firearms have Multiple options for Pistol Grips for example a Sekelton grip for M4 based Guns,
This is a little nitpicky but gotta complain somewhere.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
We should definetly be able to make use o the Rails available on the SNRs i want to put an MAWL-DA on my MSR or on my Scorpio or the Recon-A1. why cant we?
we should also be able to put a Suppressor on more than 3 Shotguns. i would love to use the KSG but i cant because it goes against my playstyle since i cant go silent with it. thats jus a shame really.
Clothing/Gear
The Utility belt is a sore spot for a lot of Players. I like Utilitybelts so i dont mind however im not the only person playing this game. First and foremost we should have the ability to take it off or make it invisble. Make it an option in the Accessoires tab under Customize, let people choose to wear it and give us the option to color it. As far as i have seen most people are not against a Utilitybelt in general but rather against the fact that it is poorly implemented. (Sorry dont want to sound pretencious here) I gave it a little thought and came up with this: Display the Item Wheel on the belt and the equipped Knife. Two Little pouches, one with a green and one with a red cross for the syringes for example. the binosulars are pretty easy. Have the syncshot drone sit in a grenade pouch ,let the Intel Grenade dangle from a snap hook. stuff like that.
The Vests are also a bit poorly done. i dont understand why my nomad is carrying GEN M3 PMAGs around (which none of the 5.56 weapons available use btw.) while im using an Smg and a Shotgun. just makes no sense. have the vests change according to the Weapuns equipped. Shotgun Shell loops, Smg magpouches etc.
AI-Teammates
The AI-Teammates have come a long way since their none existence, however there are still a few things that dont sit right with me.
Movement. These guys move like heavily armed civillians, they fall behind and the follow you bunched up like idiots. a secretive special force should know about spacing and formations when they have to move through enemy territory. furthermore they seem to have ADHD since they just cannot sit still for more then a couple seconds.
Abilities. The addition of abilites with the last update was nice but these guys have no situational awarness whatsoever. give us players the choice to allow them to use their abilities of their own accord or only on command. Example: often when i infiltrate a small enemy compound furys scan is way more convenient then me flying around with my drone or throwing 4 intel grenades. but i have to sit there and wait 4 minutes until fury registers that her scan would be useful right now. Other Example: I get spotted by a single enemy but shoot him immediatly, fixit however decides it is time to whip out her drone which in turn goes haywire and starts shooting which blows my cover. let us Activate or deactivate the independent use of the Abilities for each AI-Teammember. Put the abilities as options in the command wheel the bottom 3 slots and make a third wheel for emotes(let us deactivate that as well please).
Bugs/Issues
Thankfully i dont have too much in this department.
The MSR doesnt hit true to the Crosshairs, i dont mean bullet drop no. often the bullet just randomly strays to the left or right or upwards i have these Attachements :Short Barrel, SNR Suppressor; PEQ-15, TARS101, Bipod. i dont know if its only with the TARS but it makes it pretty much unusable for me. ill try different scopes and report if it happens with others aswell.
The Magpouches on The Tactical Riot Vest are not acctually on the Vest, they just float a short distance infront of it. looks kinda dumb which is a shame since i want to use that vest.
Complaints
and for last i would like to complain about the fact that the additional class challenges often just dont register. i dont want to run around fen bog for 3 hours mowing people down because the challenge doesnt accept completion, its not fun. just makes me mad honestly.
So, thats it. thats all i have to say for now, i hope my essay is somewhat comprehensible. I Blame all Gramatical, spelling and punctuation errors on the fact taht english is not my first language and entierly selfthaught.
thanks and bye
