In bf4, there was zero faction based weapon unlocking. In bf3, if you were a us soldier, you started with american weapons such as the m16 m4 and mk11. if you were Russian you unlocked aks74u or rpk or sdv first. BF hardline took it a step further and all weapons were faction based unlocking. bf1 should use this system for unlocking weapons you can unlock weapons from other factions by either assignment or mastering that weapon. It would feel more authentic for game play and would make you think about the weapons you would use in the context of not being able to use the same weapon over and over ---

Faction weapons needs adding. I really hope DICE looks at these posts. ---

Faction weaponry probably won’t work too well with every weapon class, honestly. For instance, practically every shotgun that saw service (or even just most that existed) during WW1 were American shotguns. The Swedish Sjogren was like the one exception. . . ---

For instance, practically every shotgun that saw service (or even just most that existed) during WW1 were American shotguns. The Swedish Sjogren was like the one exception. . . Yeah, and that was largely due in part to shotguns having been banned from use in warfare by a prior treaty(I believe). The German Empire was very vocal in protest of the use of shotguns against their troops because they were considered cruel and inhumane. ---

The German Empire was very vocal in protest of the use of shotguns against their troops because they were considered cruel and inhumane. I do find that funny (in a kind of sad way) that Germany considered shotguns a step too far. They were the first to use poisonous gas (Germany claimed England used it a week earlier, but there isn’t much proof of that) and they also were the first ones to use flamethrowers en masse. Those two weapons are often what one thinks of when they ponder the horror of WW1, but to Germany a shotgun is too much. ---

I think a mix of faction weapons and non faction to suit nations that lacked in certain weapon types would be good 😛 ---

I’d be all for faction specific weapons, I had even made a thread on here but it seemed like most people woudn’t like the idea. ---

BF2 had faction specific weapons. I like the idea being implemented here as well.
