This. In entirety. The fact of the matter is that no one likes re-training troops. The newer guns resemble the old because they're designed to have a similar interface, so that the transition is as smooth as possible.




As for "taking down call of duty", I hope they do. However I doubt being so headstrong about it is going to help their cause. Players who are diehard COD fans might just not buy the game for the sake of supporting their "team".
