Choose Weapons Pre-Round?

[The Renegadist]

Will there be a starting system to where each team can select their weapon and as the round progresses and more kills are made you can select higher tier weapons? Not a buy system like Counter-Strike but at least the ability to choose your load-out before going in and unlock more weapons as the match progresses.

As it stands, being given random weapons sucks.

Everyone having the same weapon makes it more sportsmanlike, you are forced to learn to play with all weapons, and the devs don't need to worry about weapon balancing.

I completely disagree, currently the system is "Whatever weapon you're given, go deal with it." when it should be tailored to the person's play style or what the team needs more of to help accomplish the objective. "Devs don't need to worry about weapon balancing" is a lazy throwaway excuse and if any dev for any shooter got caught saying that they'd receive immense backlash because that's a horrible practice especially if you're making a comp. shooter.

I'm not asking for a carbon-copy of CS's system but as someone else suggested, setting up classes with their own weapons and being able to acquire better weapons the longer the match goes is a no-brainer, it's been that way for competitive shooters for some time and I see no reason why Bodycam has to throw that away for a gimmicky RNG weapon system.

i think what your asking for is some sort of team based gun progression mode where a team starts with a selections of beginner weapons than moves on from there

Bad idea, random is top

Makes sense if you consider who in their right mind has a gunfight indoors with a sniper rifle
The weapons should suit the level, or as OP put it be voted for each map

If weapns are random... Then why try to purchase a weapon if you cant use it?
