...and they are for modes only about 10% of the player base actually plays.

it's only "this week" for consoles, just like all the other announced updates

the PC version supposedly failed QA last week, so PC players won't get any of these updates until next Tuesday at the earliest and that's only if QA gives thumbs up this week, which is unlikely

The Nelson Bay part of that video is for squad dm, but still shows the M14 on a 4x scope.

Stop teasing DICE :[

Also Bazajaytee and Kalms are usually the guys who oversee it or something.
