Let me balance this game

[DrauL]

....seven years experience of playing games at a high level... ...weapon balance right?...

Please, now, on a scale from 1-10, where ten is highest, rate the competitive AC scene. With any answer above 4 being a lie, we are able to deduce the fact the what a competitive player knows is not directly applicable in AssaultCube and for the sake of this argument, any other game =/= AssaultCube.

Plus he's a very capable coder.

I agree with this.

Which will lead to endless debate and compromise.

Since when did this become a closed source game where no one has any input?

That's what stops major redesigns based on a complete concept and reduces balancing to a popularity contest of tweaks.

That is biased, opinionated and needs to be backed up with facts Larry. Legitimately all you need to do is work on these, or fork, release a version with a complete changelog and see if people like the changes. Why post here if you don't want a discussion?
