Purpose of the FAMAS and AUG?
Don't get me wrong, I love bullpups and I'm excited to have more of them, but I do have to wonder what these two rifles will really add to the game. As far as I can tell they're both basically equivalent to the M4, G36, and L85, and I don't see much point in adding what is essentially a reskin of an existing weapon. What do they have to offer that's unique?

Bullpups have less recoil.

Also, they're sexy, and that's unique enough.

Nope, it uses 5.56.

That's why they will be on advisor class because they're exotic

could we safely assume the devs made the wrong decision? adding more identical weapons to the currently existing ones and put them in class which already has 4 or more weapon choices that could be occupied only by 2 - 3 people (max).

That would make sense for the insurgent advisor, who currently doesn't have a 5.56 weapon, but the security advisor already has the L85 and Mk18.

we dont know exactly what FAMAS will be, F1 or F2, if its F1, then it will be M16 but more for CQ engagements, if it will be F2 then its insurgent equal to VHS-2
AUG seem to be like all Advisor weapons,(i mean effective on all distances)is there any 5.56 Advisor mains? maybe they can tell what purpose it will have
we dont know what class they belong to(what if it'll be for comm/obs), we dont know their characteristics
its too early to say about them, better wait for CTE and test them

They're both in the promo art for the next update.

The promo art shows an F1, so probably best to assume that's what it'll be.

That's why i'm against the idea of adding more and more ARs. The game has enough right now. I don't want to end up having a lot of the same.

The more weapons, the better!

Each player will be able to choose his weapon according to his taste, caliber, recoil, fire rate, shape and other things.

I for example don't like the M4 and G36 in this game. The L85 is a better weapon, but I believe that the AUG is the best.

FAMAS has a very high firing rate, from 900 to 1,100 rounds per minute.

But my personal opinion, what I would really like is new snipers: SV-98, AWM, AR-10, SVCh-308.

But weapons need to have a differentiator, something that make players choose it.
An FN Five-SeveN for example. It would be the handgun with the highest muzzle velocity (650 m/s), a lot more accurate, a lot more range, high capacity, very low recoil, low damage.

I agree, there should be more weapons with more differences, I would particularly like more precision rifles with both bolt and semi-automatic and pistols.

But I do not think the addition of weapons similar to the same proposal is bad. As I said earlier, the more weapons, the easier it will be to find an ideal weapon.

I hate the Mk14, for example, but I was forced to use it because there was nothing equivalent.

The M24 / Mosin are good weapons, but they leave something to be desired in some aspects such as the number of municipalities, visually not too short, I don't think it's beautiful, sexy as a Mk18 with silencer for example. If it had more equivalent weapons, it would be better for everyone.
