CorndogCrusader

Honestly... I literally just got my (in-game) username through a random name generator. My ACTUAL username (CorndogCrusader) happened when I first got a PS3 when it first came out. I was making my online profile and every name I was trying was taken (I was a kid so guaranteed it was cringy shit) so I walked up to my dad and asked him to come up with something and... that's what he came up with. It's stuck ever since.

I did check, and the M249 is in the CW 2.0 weapon pack. I think it would be on the server theoretically but I could be wrong. It's definitely in CW 2.0 though, I checked in singleplayer. I understand that. I would honestly play Support more if I had a decent primary weapon. Like, yeah, I could buy a dono weapon, but that seems like a scummy way to run things in my opinion. A: I can't really speak to the AK on Tali side, I haven't used it much. I just find that the AR-15 tends to be quite irritating to use because of the insane recoil. An AR-15 does not recoil that much. xD B: To be honest, gun variety isn't something I'm SUPER worried about. Maybe I'm in the minority. I just hate using the AR-15 whenever I'm on there, and I find that a lot of people I talk to do as well. My main gripe with it is the absolutely INSANE amount of recoil. An AR-15 does not kick THAT much.

I feel like the standard US Soldier should also be equipped with the M4 SOPMOD. It makes no sense that the Drill Instructor has a more effective weapon than the standard soldier because it's a non-combat role. The standard AR-15 really is only useful for extremely close range. I posted about this in the weapon changes mega-thread, and I'm reposting it here because that was the wrong place to post this. I was told that the DI gets the M4 SOPMOD because it allows them to deal with the minges, but I don't feel like that's really a good justification. The AR-15 works fine enough for dealing with minges, and even if not, where's the harm in having the US Soldier and the DI have the same weapon? Also, the fact the US Demolitions has an M60 rather than something like an M249 SAW is very confusing to me. I was told that the M249 SAW is more of a Marines thing, which is incorrect as far as I know. I did some research, and the M249 is the STANDARD LMG for the US Military. Even if it was a "Marines" thing, the Marines get new equipment after everyone else, so that logic doesn't really make sense. Surely that means that if the Marines have it, the Army guys do too? The Medic (Support) also needs some sort of primary weapon or nobody will play it. Even an SMG would be preferable to just a pistol, like they currently have. I was told it's because the Support class is... well, meant to heal and be support, but even so, if a Medic only has a pistol, they are completely useless if they ever need to defend themselves. You can see it in the server. NOBODY plays Support, and wars suffer because of it. Yes, it makes sense that the Support would have a smaller weapon, but a pistol is too small, piddly and weak. They might as well have no weapon at all. Also, I think there needs to be more weapons to buy permanently, like, hell, I'd buy some permanent items if there were items I was genuinely interested in, like the Honey Badger for example. I tried that weapon with credits and it was really good, I was doing a lot better with it. I look forward to hearing other opinions, I just feel like these changes would make it much more pleasant to be in the regular US Army. It means that people won't be immediately rushing to join something else like GB or DF. The moment I found out that the STANDARD Green Beret gets a SCAR-L, I was immediately more interested in joining them, rather than sticking with Army, because the equipment the Army has is not good at all.

Eh, I disagree on that, but fair enough. I wasn't really sure if this thread was the right place, but I couldn't really find the best place for it.

I'm unsure if this is the correct thread to suggest this, but I feel like the standard US Soldier should also be equipped with the M4 SOPMOD. It makes no sense that the Drill Instructor has a more effective weapon than the standard soldier because it's a non-combat role. The standard AR-15 really is only useful for extremely close range. That, and the fact the US Demolitions has an M60 rather than something like an M249 SAW is very confusing to me. The medic (support) also needs some sort of primary weapon or nobody will play it. Even an SMG would be preferable to just a pistol, like they currently have. Also, I think there needs to be more weapons to buy permanently, like, hell, I'd buy some perma items if there were items I was genuinely interested in, like the Honey Badger for example.
