I wish they didn’t go with simplified ammo. I know it’s a small thing but I loved having to weigh the pros and cons of weapons based on the ammo they use, and I’ll die a little inside every time I unload my M16 and shove those rounds into the AK-47 I just picked up. And seeing generic “pistol ammo” and “assault rifle ammo” is so immersion breaking - and this is a series that lives and dies off immersion.
But who knows. I might be dead wrong here and the slight dumbening down might help them attract a wider audience, in which case I’m happy for them. No matter what in the end I just wish them huge success after all they’ve gone through.
I feel they could’ve streamlined other areas instead, and maybe they have, but at the very least stick with different calibers. If they made sure things like UI makes it easy to tell which weapon / magazine requires which ammo (and vice versa) then this is really not that big of a deal, even for more casual players (me included).
If ammo got simplified then I’m sure weapon condition / repairs got the axe too. Wish is fine I suppose. But hopefully attachments like scopes and suppressors and grenade launchers are still included, those were great.
On ammo I’d be okay with simplifying NATO vs Warsaw Pact rounds because that’s a bit hard to track for anyone unfamiliar, but as you say I liked the overall immersion of matching bullets to the gun.
I’m hoping the PC modding scene takes off because that will let us customize all kinds of things.
