Let me balance this game

[Roflcopter]

WHen i play clan matches/watch them on this versio, i see people playing with AR, SMG and sniper at once. DIversity of gameplay is here. I use the carbine a lot, its really strong. People do not play intensively as they used to and they take longer to adapt to a new a balance, so they tend to refuse anything new. To be honest, i dont think we're going to find a "perfect" balance, In my opinion, the game in its current state (as far s the weapon balance is concerned), is fun, because you can play every weapon, and it allows different kinds of players to enjoy it.
I understand that the loss of an overpowered, easy to learn weapon like the AR is hard to accept for some but please get over it. I dont want AC to have 1 OP weapon that you have to use in competitive games (0 fun if its not the kind of weapon you like, and *that* was ruining the experience of a lot of players, but you never cared at this time)because as DrauL said its also about choosing what you want thegame to be like, its a matter of opinion, and thats why rofl isnot being honest when he says he want something objectively "balanced".

Where did I say balance was completely objective? That said there are obviously good objective measures of balance. One that you point at is variety of weapon use, which has increased and that's good, but it's not the only thing that matters.

Your comment is really just a covert insult.
I have specifically said I want to further increase the variety of weapons played.
