Hardly a rip off of BR tbh, the AR-15 has been able to do this for years.

I've never played Blacklight in any case.

First of all, it is easier to nickel and dime people when you are actually nickel and diming them, not asking them to shell out larger sums of money.

It is also important to keep everything available via certs. Not to mention giving people more options means they spend more money. None of that gimmicky rent business either.

All SOE has to do to make it more of an SC sink is to have more tiers of attachments (adv laser, adv grip, etc). Plus they could let you swap scopes on the fly or switch from the compensator to the suppressor.

There are plenty of other things SOE can and will be adding to bring in the money. For example, I highly suspect they will be letting us turn ourselves into cyborgs at some point. I mean beyond the whole we are nanites thing.
