They're trying to take the base, stop them!

A really great entry in the DW series, I'm fond of the vast majority of it, such as the individual story modes, good OST, hack n slash fun, new characters etc.
However there's a few things that weaken this one going back to it. I think the weapon system is one of the worst in the series, why they got rid of 4's i will never know. But the stupid Heavy/Medium/Light weapon thing was an extremely stupid idea. It's so frustrating to have a new weapon appear, with much better stats, combos etc, only to find it's a heavy one, and now i have to play in slow motion. The fact you almost exclusively find weapons in the wooden boxes means it breaks up the gameplay badly, and you have to run around box hunting when you want to be hacking and slashing.
There's also the addition of the bases, which personally I'm not a fan of. They're repetitive, and make levels sort of blend together, it's a feature that should stay in the Empires series.
