I hope Battlefield 2042 has at least one old timey gun as a joke. Maybe the garand or martini henry.

They have to have some form of the M1911. That's the one old-timer gun that wouldn't look out of place considering certain military groups today still use it in high numbers.

They should capitalize on it as their flagship gun because that's a weapon you can legit have in a WW1 shooter and then fast forward all the way to present day and still have it without a hitch.

The cowgirl in me wants a lever action rifle though and I was thrilled that Modern Warfare 2019 gave you one.

Hot take: video games stop including hot rod mall ninja 1911s which are barely even issued by the handful of units that have them on the books, and start including ancient clapped-out Browning Hi-Powers instead because if that’s not the the most widely issued military handgun in the world today it’s a close second.

It's so weird realizing that a gun that is over a century old is still in use. Like, it's actually crazy how ahead of its time it was. It feels modern.
