Too good to be true. Scopes, silencers, upgraded pistols (DESERT EAGLE!), you name it. I've thought of the system, this is not the first time this improvement has been suggested.
Ok, here's how it goes. Bob here just started playing BF2. Bob likes to play as Sniper, most of the time. Bob just earned the rank of Corporal. The Corporal rank comes with 2,000 "Buy" points. In other words, it's MONEY that Bob can spend on ANYTHING he wants.
For each kit, there are maybe 40 or 50 items/weapons/whatever that you can add to your kit. But, just like in BF2142, you can only carry 3, 4, or 5 items at one time, depending on their level. You can choose your items from a list in the same fashion you would choose a spawnpoint. Bob wants to buy an L96A1, with an upgraded scope that will allow him to zoom in farther than the regular scopes. Unfortunately for Bob, an L96A1 costs 10,000 points, while the extended scope costs 2,500. He will not be able to buy an L96A1 until he is AT LEAST at the rank of Staff Sergeant. Poor Bob.
Ok, so major/important weapons will cost A LOT. A G36E for a medic would cost him 11,500. Grenades for a Medic would cost him 1,500. Assault players can add tear gas grenades to their arsenal for 5,000. But, they should probably also buy a Gas Mask (staple item, only 1,000).
See how it would work? Like I said though, too good to be true.
