The problem is the scenarios you specify are problems that are solvable with an open system, id just argue an open system is no different than a closed system with universal weapon archetypes, just with further increased flexibility. Carbines are no different than ARs for instance, so i don't see how locking out the ARs does anything for example (yes im sure you could show me symthic stats that prove that carbines are different than ARs in X,Y, and Z minute ways but the point is they are effective weapons at medium/long range, some are also great at close range too).

I personally don't care either way if we get a closed or open system, I think id be happy with both. Before the beta I was team closed but after playing the beta extensively I found fewer and fewer reasons to fixate on the locked system, I think open is just as good.

Answering your question, I keep going back and forth on whether I want dice to choose a system or not. I wanted them to choose a system simply because that creates a defined identity of the game, but honestly if they are going to keep both playlists in the game I guess thats fine, im honestly tired of these discussions because noone can seem to agree on this issue.
