I'm confident that they'll change this later as they have already with the Kriss Vector, etc. I'd rather have the weapons reskinned (for now) than not have them at all.

Read the post again.

I agree that they are putting effort in to the game. Sure, the reskinned vehicles, weapons, etc. are disappointing, but it's still much better than not having them at all, and I expect that they'll reconcile this issue at some point, but most of us can agree that performance issues, etc. are a bit more important. The reason for the removal of the openable doors is due to hitbox issues. It wouldn't be suitable for early release since this would become a problem in multiplayer. However, I would like to see earlier content that wouldn't have such large issues.

Looks like we'll be seeing female characters at some point. http://i.imgur.com/l3MGXra.png (133 kB)

Also note that the vehicle-mounted HMG/GMG for the Hunter, Ifrit, Strider, armed speedboats, etc. are all reskinned as well.

Exactly my thoughts.

Incredible work so far. Hopefully we will see females in the game eventually.
