Country Specific Weapons

[woowoo]

I miss how we did it in CoD2 - join a side (country) and you have to use the weapons associated with that country's army.  It added an element of fun and challenge as you had to become proficient on many weapons - not just the Thompson.  My suggestion is to add this capability into eXtreme 5.  For reference, the weapons list is at the end of this post.

One challenge is the question of balance.  It appears that all of the countries are mostly balanced with the exeption of the Japaense who appears to have a weaker set of weapons.  They have no semi-auto rifle, a weaker bolt, an odd MG, although a very good SMG.

My only thoughts on "balancing" the Japanese weapons, without having to add new weapons skins, is to leverage some interesting history.  It turns out that the Japanese decided to copy the M1 Garand and called it the Type 5 Rifle ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_5_Rifle ) and also had an anti-tank rifle called the Type 97 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_97_20_mm_AT_Rifle ).  So we could simply add the M1 Garand and the PTRS-41, called the Type 5 and Type 97 respectively, to the Japanese weapons list to create more balance.

What are your thoughts?

I have that on the openwarfare server (thats only because i can't do it in extreme....yet)
The ptsr41 is on all factions.
The rifle for japanese is the gew43 since they are german allies.
It's the server in my signature

Can't wait to have a modwarfare setup type for extreme and do the same thing:D

ACE has that as well, if you want ..you know what to do Joker

Extreme has this also,  it is part of the eXtreme tactical mod,  where you can designate the "eXtreme" special classes to be specific to a country,  then you can define which weapons will be available to each class, so you can set eXtreme class 1 to be Marines, then designate the appropriate weapons
(and perks) to be availabe in that class... Hence you have country based weapons, the class has a defult loadout which can be changed ingame and saves within the player stat profile.  The reason I took this approach is that it offers many more options other than country based weapons.....  you can activate a single class and assign only pistols to that class,  or rifles, hence you have pistol or rifle only gametype/map or server.

Hope this makes sense.... thanks
