8 Things Nobody Wants To Admit About Battlefield 1
4. There's Zero Weapon Variety
The decision to get rid of the ability to add attachments to weapons in Battlefield 1 was almost entirely made to hide the fact that each class only has three or four different guns at their disposal.
While you can look at the customisation screen for every class and see a huge armoury of guns and gadgets, most of these are simply variations of the same few, differentiated by what you can add such as grips and optics.
As a result, you only have an illusion of choice when you're picking your loadout, and it means that once you've found a favourite gun you're probably going to stick with it for the majority of your playtime - simply because you don't have any alternatives.
And sure, fans of the game have been playing the old "but it was World War 1, how many guns could there even have been?" card, but that's no excuse. There were plenty of weapons used during the conflict, and taking into account DICE's penchant for including "experimental weaponry", then there should have been a much more diverse array of guns available in Battlefield 1.
