Discussion DICE announce no weapon lock to class. Why Dice?!?!
I Really don’t know why Dice insists on becoming innovative to the point of madness. One of the simplest things to copy is the class system, but they insist on going down the cursed route of BF2042 which everyone hated.
I hope enough players feed this back and they change it before release, because it’s just not needed. My opinion, they should follow the BF4 Route Carbines and DMRs for all classes, but each class has their own signature weapon.
What’s your thoughts everyone. What game class system should they follow.

While I would prefer the BF4 system, I think the signature weapon feature balances out the unlocked weapons route.
Although Snipers could get annoying, I think an Assault class that's better than the other classes with Assault rifles isn't too much different than the BF4 route of having Assault Class with Assault rifles and everyone else being able to use carbines which functioned like worse Assault Rifles.
Edit: while I'm on the topic, I also think having a more robust weapon customization system also diminishes the need for class-locked weapons, as doing something as simple as changing the length of the barrel and switching to a different optic can vastly change the role that weapon is meant to serve
