The Beta lol.. It does feel like that at times.

I didn't know they were doing that, one good thing at least I guess - not 'leaving behind' the unique weapons. Because let's face it, the vast majority of weapons from common through to legendary are re-skins of one another, or with embellishments like laser-sights/compensators/muzzle brakes/grips/suppressors and so on, to make them look slightly different. Considering this, perhaps it would be cool if we could have a similar system to my Armoursmith idea - whereby each weapon has a 'frame' or 'chassis' and we add modules on to change their appearance and the bonuses they benefit from. As with armour, higher tiers of weapons would have more 'slots' for modules, and Exotics would have entirely unique appearances too. I really love the 'Lock_Arete' hand cannon, but the gun is only a rare, so I had to trade mine in when I found a better one. How cool would it be to keep that look, by adding its modules to a Legendary frame? Perhaps putting a laser sight or suppressor on there too? Perhaps laser sights and suppressors could be modules that add both form and function? Perhaps a suppressor could ACTUALLY quieten the sound of your weapon's report? Perhaps a laser could actually provide a visual indicator of where your next round will land, as well as increasing hip-fire accuracy? Ideas ideas. So many ideas. I wish I could code, I'd make a mean game designer. Instead I'm just an annoying wanker who comes up with all these ideas that would take a team of experts weeks to implement. I make no demands though, I'm not one of those gamers. Just a guy with lots and lots of ideas. :-D
