Ahh, to be able to know the map THEN choose my weapon

[Lilguy1456]

I really hate having to choose a weapon based on ONE of the two maps in rotation, only to have the sub-optimal one be chosen over and over. Maybe someone knows if the weapon choosing option timing will be changed in a coming update.

While it would make it easier, the stages being declared in sets make you think of what weapon type you would like to use if either of the stages were picked, presenting a layer of adaptability.

A roller rolls wherever a roller must roll.

Eh, I don't mind. I prefer the idea of picking a weapon that is best suited for a selection of maps then a specific map. Adds to strategy I feel and emphasized team work as well since everyone has to rely on the weapons each person picked. Not to mention there could easily be a "best weapon" for a stage which could easily cause centralization.

prob be the only concern.
I just don't like that you have to leave the room to change weapon aspect of it. Personally I believe gameplay experience would be enhanced a lot for a majority of the players.

Indeedly foo

That part of the gamble if you decide to pick a weapon that is good in one map and bad in a another one.

That could make the games a counterpick fest, though.

I personally like not knowing which map I'll get so I change my weapon BEFORE I play them. Every 4 hours presents which ones will work best and it allows me to use every single weapon. It adds variation.

That's true. Maybe I just don't like the every 4hrs map change...

no
It would just help people not pick a weapon,subs and or specail that was horrid, on said map. There are some rotations, where one map is good for one weapon and the other, not so much. I'm sure every map has several weapons, that are good and equally as many that are bad. At the moment, there is no set weapon(s) that out right beats the rest, regardless of the map...Level aside, everyone can use any of those said weapons.

How would in-lobby weapon changes work, though? Sometimes you may not get the time to change your weapon, let alone
the gear to complement it. Should the game be postponed if people are still in the gear menu?

Like call of duty's

 

[YesI'mTaco34]

really do wish we could change weapons before each round

 

[Kaliafornia]

I used to think this but slowly starting to think more and more that its less about the weapon for the map and more about adopting different play styles to fit the map. The only thing I wish is that I was able to switch weapons based on he pool of weapons in the lobby. If there was a message that prompted "you have just joined a room with 3 other splatterscopes, would you like to change your weapon?" I have won matches with 3 chargers or 3 rollers on my team but the lack of versatility has hindered the cohesiveness of my team who aren't used to taking on different roles with their weapon of choice and if I cannot carry them, then we usually lose.

That would be horrible :I

It is somewhat annoying to go .52 gal, only to have 3 rollers near the center of the map, then immediately get ganged up on once a enemy charger has cleared them all off.

I think I like it, even if you have a weapon that works great for you in a map it may not do so in the other one, so you are forced to try new weapons or develop new ways to play the map. It adds variety.
