TOTALLY AGREE!
srsly, arma series are simulations of military, why the hell now futuristic and then just a few weapons. i usually pick on any server given the same 2 weapons (mx sniper or mx rifle, dunno the correct names right now), grab optics and its done.
i cant tell how much this (sry) sucks.
this game would be so much better if you just go with the original weapons, good old m4/m16 m249saw ak-47 and so on and use these original weapons with the attachment you want OR the player must make a decision that i.e. an m4 can have a grenade launcher but not an acog optic. some weapons can bear several attachments and some just one. i know arma 3 is in an early state but i paid 39 euro for this game and then i see that there misses so much that could have been integrated, i do need to go with mods like acre (which is rdy by now) or ace (which is not available now) to rly have a realistic simulation, and that is what i wanted from a military simulation.
