Epic idea. Would totally support it.

This would re-kindle my want to spend $ on the game to support it. Right now I have stopped spending; partly due to the fact I can't use the exact loadouts I want, hence there's not much point unlocking the weapons when I don't want to use them on that class.

True enough man!

Would have been nice from the get go, but hope that lessons have been learned for the next time around.

While I'm not sure if I'd like the exact loadout options in the original thread post, it would be nice to have extensive customization sort of like Gotham City Impostors where body sizes balance out based on movement speed, hitbox size, and how fast you can move with certain weapons, etc.
