I wish they didn't go with simplified ammo. I know it's a small thing but I loved having to weigh the pros and cons of weapons based on the ammo they use, and I'll die a little inside every time I unload my M16 and shove those rounds into the AK-47 I just picked up. And seeing generic "pistol ammo" and "assault rifle ammo" is so immersion breaking - and this is a series that lives and dies off immersion.

But who knows. I might be dead wrong here and the slight dumbening down might help them attract a wider audience, in which case I'm happy for them. No matter what in the end I just wish them huge success after all they've gone through.

If ammo got simplified then I'm sure weapon condition / repairs got the axe too. Wish is fine I suppose. But hopefully attachments like scopes and suppressors and grenade launchers are still included, those were great.

On ammo I'd be okay with simplifying NATO vs Warsaw Pact rounds because that's a bit hard to track for anyone unfamiliar, but as you say I liked the overall immersion of matching bullets to the gun.

I'm hoping the PC modding scene takes off because that will let us customize all kinds of things.
