I'm not a big fan of weapon variants. Of course, every has access to the base weapons which have the same stats for everybody. However, some lucky people have received elite variants (or even pro/enlisted that are great) which gives them an advantage over others on the battlefield.

Prime example number one: BAL Obsidian Steed. This is like the best variant in the game (I dont have it btw), and it fucking shreds people like nobody's business. And it is only available to a lucky few.

I'm sure that someone will argue "get better/more skill and people like that won't be a problem." I'm not saying they automatically win every gun fight because of a variant, I'm just saying that it makes a big impact for the ones lucky enough to have access to it.

A good idea in theory, and I will admit that it makes CaC more interesting. However, I really hope that Treyarch's new CoD doesn't have weapon variants. I would much rather get my shit wrecked by a weapon that I have access to, rather than some cannon that somebody else got out of a random box that I can only dream of getting.
