loadout cards are really silly

Loadout cards are diabolical. Just add weapons that allow strategic choice. Progression has no place in an fps.

Sub-classes are 100% the way to go as the most reliable way of creating a competitive stand alone game. The only problem I see looming for this system is a limit for the number of imaginable subclasses. As a free to play game, DB will need to roll out a steady stream of crate series for years. I just don’t see that amount of room for growth once we get past the archetypal fragger loadout, speed loadout, ability loadout, etc

if we are talking years, you could imagine loadouts that change the mercs main ability in some way. Grenade launcher becomes rocket launcher, aura’s station become a red-alert tesla tower, anything really xD

Yup, just put it next to any entrance and watch the bodies piling up ^^

At which point you’re pretty much introducing new mercs, each of which could come in a few specialized variants. If we only get 4-5 meaningful sub-class loadouts for each merc, we’re already looking at nearly 100 variations just with the mercs we’ve seen so far. But keep throwing in new mercs as well and the sky is the limit…
