Now, I know I'm not the only one who was a fan of the new option with BOII, where you could pick your load out prior to each mission. Well, I have an idea to better the CoD Campeign mode.

Instead of just being thrown into a mission, you need to go and have your CO or whoever is in charge, and they assign you the mission. You choose a small 4 man squad (you and 3 NPC). Some missions might automatically replace a NPC with a storyline-based member. You also choose their area of speciality. Want all heavy gunners? One heavy gunner, a CQC teammate, and a rifleman? Hell, want to sacrifice one of your men to have a sniper to help you out? Go ahead. He will act like McKnight in BOII's mission Suffer With Me.

After you are assigned a mission, head over to the armoury. Choose your weapon, accessories, whatever you want. Think you'll need night vision? Take it. Only catch, the game won't tell you what you would need for the mission. Want better sights? Well, between missions, hit up the shooting range. Build up experience with the weapons, get items, etc. Enter into a shooting competition to win a special weapon, such as the Desert Eagle or the iconic M82A1 sniper.

After you arm yourself, you move over to the camo area, where you choose to go deep cover (civilian clothes) stealth (ghillie suit, wet suit for water based missions), etc. These outfits are mission dependent. Don't think you can do a water-based mission dressed as a middle eastern farmer.

Finally, you're ready to leave on your mission. If you find yourself in need of an item you didn't take with you, well, you will learn from your mistakes. There is still a storyline, but you actually get to prep your team.

Sorry for the wall of text. What do y'all think? Also, any suggestions to add to the idea?

TL;DR: you are of no use to us by being lazy. Read or...BOOM headshot

Edit: To top it all off, the top dog who gives you the missions would be voiced by Morgan Freeman. "Hello JustxJeff, here is your mission." Btw, you probably just read that in his voice.
