If that's the case, then I like this system. One thing that irritates me is that you would spend stuff on the final weapon, and then lose it shortly after because of prestige. At the very least, if we have to reach the level to have it returned to us (but without requiring another token) and have the ability to recieve it earlier (through prestige tokens like in MW3) then I can see this going rather well.

The ability to choose from a set during the beginning of the game is an excellent idea. Don't know about all of you, but I dislike lightweight, and would prefer the security of Scavenger which gave me a near-unlimited ammo reserve, so why should I have to be stuck with perks I don't like from the beginning, even if it is between just two perks, one of them will likely be more appealing to different people.
