In all honesty, I believe that Cubic.Games could've done better in implementing this new upgrade system.

The Combat Level system was hated because of the unfairly high upgrade prices compared to the purchase price of the weapon. But Cubic.Gamescould've fixed the system if they did the following: 1. Implementing MUCH cheaper upgrade prices (similar to what we have now). 2. Making the Combat Level system less complicated and making it so that every weapon can be upgraded to either Combat Level 15, 16, or 17, instead of confusing everybody.

The highlights of the new upgrade system were the significantly cheaper upgrade prices and the nerfing of many weapons. But a lot of the nerfs didn't make any sense at all.

For example: Sniper Rifles are supposed to be one of the most powerful weapons in the game, capable of taking down opponents in about 1-3 shots. But this new update made it so that NEARLY EVERY Sniper Rifle was nerfed to a two shot kill (or, in the worst case scenario, nearly AN ENTIRE MAGAZINE).

It's worse between the original weapons and the reskins. What made the reskins more attractive were their higher stats compared to the original weapons. But now that both the original weapons AND the reskins do the same damage, they might as well combine the original and the reskin, because there's no point in buying two weapons with identical stats, ESPECIALLY if one of them is more expensive than the other.
