Weapons and items - collect and keep from battlefield?

OK in the Normandy setting in one of the bunkers on the lower floor there is a Germn officers sword. You can pick it up and carry it but at the end of the episode it is gone. I would like to be able to find treasures like that in the game and be able to keep them.
Sure eighty swords would be wrong (maybe) but how about you can collect one per squad.
Perhaps treasures in the game would cause a pause in the rush to just enough to allow strategy in the game for non meth squirrel players ( valium turtle players like me).
Dont need to sell the items , or maybe stash of gold (Germans like to hide it) somewhere. Maybe a collectible sword, gun, knife, poster, hammer for engineer, axe, shovel, flag, it seems it would be an endless add to the game (dev’s get bored anyway - just kidding they work really hard and are doing awesome).
Perhaps a home screen footlocker of collected items we can peruse and pick items to wage a personal trophy battle.
Trophy collecting in war is as old as the first rock used to brain ooog in Mesopotamia (not making fun of ooog he crossed the wrong line).
Anyone think this is a good or bad idea?

I can see two teams scavaging and looting the whole map without shooting one single bullet…

LOL entertaining though

This.

There’s already of plenty of people with their heads in the clouds we don’t need more.

Maybe instead they have rare items in chests themed to each campaign that you can open out of battle and you get keys for the chests by capturing objectives and earning Battle Hero achievements. :wink:
