The weapon variants should be cosmetic only for BO3. Although the stat upgrades and downgrades adds thinking to which variant you want to use in your class, every one eventually goes for the optimal Elite variant (i.e. Speakeasy, Pwner, Insanity, Obisidian Steed) and then the game becomes farming for Supply Drops.

I have no major issues with the Pick 13 System.

PLEASE FUCKING GOD, LET US HAVE DEDICATED SERVERS.
