Going back to the whole 'sparsity of content' thing, Battlefield doesn't really have all that many weapons to get to grips with. Currently, the assault class has about six: three submachine guns, and three shotguns; not exactly that many for the ostensible granddaddy of the FPS genre, let's face it.
This makes the matter of addressing the lack of weaponry all the more pressing, because once players master them in all their variants (of which there aren't that many to begin with), things are going to get a little boring. The addition of new units should necessitate some more weaponry however, so rest assured that more are on their way.
I know more bolt-action rifles wouldn't go amiss, as would some more automatic weapons (if there are indeed anymore to find). Regardless, the lack of an extensive armoury is something DLC will have to take a look at, especially if DICE wish to preserve the meta of the title's multiplayer.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
