Disclaimer, this post isn't intended to go anywhere, for those whose time I'm sorry for wasting on a joke. However, for those who stay, I'd like to touch on a conversation a friend and I had in regards to our criticisms of the game when they passed back to me surprisingly uncommon response. "Well, if you want the FN FAL in the game so bad, did you ever try to just ask?" In that, I was left to pause for a moment. It's so common that there is an expected disconnect between the developers of a game and their community that resentment builds over the lacking *personal* communication beyond one way announcements. Though I may criticize those who make the game, I and likely many others don't even try to reach out. I wish I could blame the community for that sentiment, but I cannot accept precedent as a reason to never even ask once. So to my forum post, would there ever be a minimalist scout rifle without excessive furnishings like the FAL inspired gun in the game once more? Thank you for taking the time to read this post.
