After a rocky and frustrating start with the game I am now enjoying myself playing it quite a lot, but the main point that still bothers me is weapon balance. I’m just tired of seeing the same icons popping up on the obituaries all the time, and I think this is very sad since this is not a game were you get better weapons as you rank up, something that works since you have to use the weapons in succession till you get the better ones, this is a game where all current weapons are available from the beginning, and if several are severely underpowered it just makes it pointless for them to be on the game really, something sad considering also how good is their design too.
When I started playing and was doing the challenges (especially the defence one) I was really enjoying myself using the varied weapons, I specially like how some of the rifles (can’t remember the names now) were burst fire or single shot, and I was able to pass the challenge using them, but that was, as I figured out later, because of the limited ai of the bots. How big was my disappointment when I tried using them online and found that I was very handicapped against 80% the players, who apparently just use the carb. I also tried using the heavy weapons with very limited success. So in the end I’m using one of the faster assault rifles but with the kross as backup, since I refuse to use the carb 
but even so I still feel handicapped.
There are other fixes that would also enhance the experience for such as making the exp gain for the soldier and operative as high as medic/engineer but the weapons balance is my main one. I don’t care what happens to the weapons, I just want every gun to have its place. If that gets fixed then I can assure you I will be playing this game and probably buying future dlc for a long time
