I know, it sounds crazy right? If we get new mods in the next DLC, this change would really shine. As of right now, most weapons really don't need 3 mods to feel effective. But wouldn't it feel nice to know you didn't have to dump that piercing mod? Never wanted to sacrifice a slot for a scope? As a Soldier, your weapons should be the best. Why should you have to choose between a small selection of mods like every other class?
Simple idea for Soldiers

Makes sense, afterall soldiers are combat experts, they should have some sort of edge in weapons.
How about little extra? when they equip scope on any weapon it won't suffer damage penalty when fired from hip.

Soldiers are true heroes, reckless warriors on the frontline on the battlefield.
They should be able to devastate the enemy ranks like other classes do.
Their weapons should be a the height of their bravery, of their skills and of their mastery.

Love the idea. I still think they should have a significantly higher weapon damage in passives.

I was very irritated when I started ME3 and realized the weight issues were still there with my soldier. I miss having a heavy pistol, shotgun, assault rifle, sniper rifle, heavy weapon, AND having my AR cd at 3.4 seconds =(
Harrier, high caliber barrel V, piercing mod V, recoil damper V + AR = walking death machine

This would be too good and the Geth would complain that their cheese tactics aren't as successful as they used to be.

Which weapon are you using?
In most cases I find that if you are a bit more careful with your shots, picking them carefully, you can take the piercing mod over the extended clip capacity and be significantly more effective.
I rock the high caliber barrel V and piercing mod V on all my assault rifles.

Soldiers need something to set them apart from the other classes, there doesnt seem to be anything they can do that another class can't do better (although frag grenades rock

Right now, I think i'm using the hurricane on my turian soldier (who is now a walking death machine). I have the high caliber barrel and extra ammo on it.xcrunr1647 wrote...

Wreckless warriors tend to get other people killed along with themselves.

Not a bad idea, though I would have preferred if they had simply never changed the weapons system to allow all classes to carry all weapons. That would have been the right thing to do. Even if they had made that change for SP, it would've made sense to still keep the old system of certain classes only carrying certain weapon types for MP to encourage more variety and strategy.
