I love how corporeal Catholicism is.

When you compare Catholicism to other religions, let it be for example Islam or radical Protestantism, Catholicism is in comparison to those by its very nature extremly corporeal and thus grounded in physical reality. Just look at the concept of the Agnus Dei for example, or the medieval depictions of Memento Mori. Unlikle other religions, which overestimate the spiritual sphere over the physical one, Catholicism absolutely embraces the corporeal sphere in its totality. It even makes a point out of it by letting the Creator Spiritus himself be crucified in an extremely bloody way by mere mortals who think they are above everything else, and making us worship Him by letting us consume His flesh for all eternity until the end of time.

It is no wonder that the Christian West has developed the sciences of physics, chemistry and biology when they had such a way of thought as a basis.

Edit: Just take a look at the several bone catacombs throughout Europe. That's not only metal as fuck, it is also a reminder that we are actual, physical beings who are succumbed to the effects of time. We will eventually die and our fate is dependant on our relationship with God. I think that other religions like Islam or Protestantism lead us astray by their iconoclastic nature. Ironically, by waving away the physical realties of death and decay, they give us the illusion that the spiritual realm is far, far away and therefore not immediately important.

Over the years, tons of guns have been added to the game, but there is no reason to use the more expenisve ones, since they're not necessarily better than the cheap ones. Take the AK-74 for example, it's worse than the AK-47 except for recoil, but it's more expensive. Why? I would love to use it more often, because I simply find it cooler looking than the 47, but I also like to max out my other equipment.

I rarely use any other gun than the AK-47 or the M16A4 (on semi auto, it's pretty much a longer M4A1 if your finger is fast enough).

Many guns are very similar in this game, so using one over the other is a matter of taste in many cases. However, due to the fact that some of the guns are more expensive than the others, there is no reason to use a cooler gun if it's more expensive but not even better.

Therefore, I think the guns as a whole should cost less OR the cost should be based on caliber. The bigger the punch, the more points. Currently, I see no logic behind the cost. It feels very random.

PS: Also, some expensive guns may be better on paper, but sometimes they have shitty iron sights like the FAMAS for example, which needs even more points in form of a red dot to become usable. Also, since it's 5.56, it's not even better than an M16A2 which costs only one point.

What are your thoughts on this?
