No one is asking for them to drop mg/smgs, everyone asking for BA's are asking for them to be an optional "all kit" weapon like carbines in BF4 or such, just a weapon type that anyone can play with any class, an unscoped BA that is.
In bf1942 engineers had unscoped Kar98/No. 4's whereas snipers had scoped versions. I n BF2 you were right about assault, that was my point, other bf's had weapon sharing with some differences (IE scopes or underbarrels).
I was under the impression that people actually were asking them to drop the mgs, smgs and semi-auto weapons, in the sense that they want less of them and want bolt-action to be the 'default' weapon for every class. I've seen quite a few complaints saying things along the lines of "they weren't that common, there shouldn't be this many, why doesn't everyone have bolt-action rifles as their main weapon instead?". I'd like to see them as all all-kit weapon as well, though.
