Let me balance this game

[Vanquish]

I agree that the weapon balance is kinda bad atm. Even though the five weapons are more balanced with each other now, they're still not ideal. A game like AssaultCube can't sell itself on its looks, so it should sell itself on its gameplay, and atm the gameplay is being severely hurt by the way some weapons are being handled.

Spoiler

Personally I think "hitscan" guns like the AR + smg should be just like quake's lightning gun, because that actually rewards good aim. Some people who are good with the smg now would get a massive shock when their patented style of running into the enemy, half aiming and spraying fails to get them kills anymore. Of course it would need a lot of testing, but once perfected it would be much better.

So I would vote yes for Larry balancing the weapons. He has had more competitive experience (in AC and other games) than anyone in this thread and probably 95% of the forum, that shouldn't be ignored just because you have a couple of personal problems with him.
