What does this suggestion change?
This suggestion would change the GOC's load-outs, as the current weaponry make no sense in canon due to our location. Currently the GOC uses a lot of Russian-developed weaponry, which makes no sense to me as far west as North America. In my own opinion, these load-outs would seem more reasonable.
Soldier- Primary:AR-15, CZ-805, MK18, or M4 Sopmod
R&D- Vector, Fang-45, or the MPX
Jug: M240 Bravo isn't horrible, however the M249 para would make more sense, with it being more modern
Field Operative: MPX, AR-15, CZ-805, EBR-14, MK18, GRY SBR
Marksman- AMR-2 isn't horrible, the Barret M82, the MK18 Mod, or the Osiris would seem more fitting, however, as Western-developed weapons.
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?
I don't believe it has.
Possible Positives of the suggestion?
1) The weapons make a lot more sense, and could add a bit more immersion into GOC gunplay.
2) It's a refreshing new change up, with new weapons to learn and explore in certain roles.
3) Adds more variety between roles, giving members more drive to climb the ranks.
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
1) I'm unsure about the strength of many of the weapons, so balancing may be an issue to them.
2)People may like their current weaponry, and not enjoy the change as much
3)People may be put out of their comfort zone with a new weapon that may not be used regularly.
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
This suggestion should be accepted because of the fact that the positives outweigh the negatives; GOC has somewhat gone stale gameplay and RP-wise, so new weaponry may attract some people who enjoy guns and having varieties to their diet, so to speak. Another reason being the fact that immersion will grow greatly with weapons that actually make sense in the location, instead of a bunch of random Eastern weaponry being used in the North Western part of the world.
