User blog comment:Delta1138/What guns should be added in future DLCs?/@comment-770363-20120516212835

Okay, I'm just gonna say a few things here, and I want you all to take these to heart.


 * BF3 diverged from our timeline in 2007, when BF2 takes place. And that allows for plenty of room for various projects previously dead, such as the XM8, to be used in BF3.


 * I will not, I repeat NOT add the Mossberg M590 shotgun. If I thought BF3 needed a weapon like that, I'd have putthe TOZ-194 on my list.


 * I will not add any bolt action sniper rifles of calibers other than 7.62x51m NATO ot 7.62x54mmR. All other calibers would make the guns redundant, or OP. And DICE has stated repeatedly that they will NOT add any sniper rifles in .50 BMG, so I won't add those, regardless of magazine type and operation.
