Multiplayer Weapon Upgrades - Good or Bad?

[Propbuddha]

I'm a bit on the fence about the weapon upgrades in Multiplayer.

On one side, the idea of rewarding players for persistent/skilled online play is a good one and it gives us something to play for.

On the other hand it, it really creates a culture of "haves and have-nots" where the already skilled players have a big advantage over, new and casual players.

What do you guys think?

the weapon upgrades are not to much better then what you start with

Yep, I've gotten a few, and hardly noticed the difference.

While not miles and away better, Morder's MP44 is pretty damn powerful. I often end up playing with the 3v3 leader (DDog something or other) and obviously, the guy has all the upgrades. He's good regardless but it further tilts the scales in his favor. I'm personally against the weapon upgrades and think players should start out on an even field. If there are rewards, it should come from play during that session (like leveling up in Enemy Territory). I don't have the time to play so much that I can get some of these mp achievement medals and unlock all the weapons. Just something to think about for a possible sequel (I pray).

im actually looking forward to weapon upgrades, gives me a reason to rotate around heroes.

I like the weapon upgrades but let me switch to what i want to use. Sure technically the next weapon is slightly better, but i like the garand and thompson more than sniper/ bren. With that system we could have it like bf2 and even add new weapons[or heroes.
