@ AWC I see what you're saying and to a certain extent, I kinda feel the same way and I totally understand what you mean. I think a lot of people are going to use these proficiencies to "get better" with a weapon rather than learning all of its specific nuances and quirks and truly mastering it. But they're basically the same as using perks, which players have been doing since Create-A-Class to make their guns even more useful. That's what this does as well. I am excited about the proficencies because they give me more options, and I love having options. Still, I concur with the idea that people are going to be less inclined to master the weapon outright as it is baseline. Mastering a weapon as it is is great, and makes you a better player I think. I feel I've mastered the P90 and now I can seriously pwn with it without any attachments (i actually prefer the iron sights, but I do like and often use silencer) and regardless of perks. It has become my favorite MW2 weapon and my all around go-to-gun. :P
