My proposal is to give us weapon unlock tickets that we can use to unlock weapons in whatever order we want.
Everyone can still start with the same weapons, and everyone will get the tickets at the same points as gun unlocks currently, but this will give players more choice in what they play with earlier on. It also allows players to unlock weapons for their favorite class first and prevents weapons that are currently unlocked later from being rare to see.
I think it would be cool to have some weapons maybe still locked behind class weapon challenges to give people something to work towards that isn't just time gated. Some of the more unique weapons of exotic gear.
Some will argue that the level up system is important to teach players about every gun type, or get them to try new things, etc, so as a compromise you could have some guns still locked behind levels early on, or make this system prestige only.
Figure with the new update coming out it'd be good to put this idea back on the developer's radar with the focus on the new player experience.
