There is no "best weapon". There may be a "best weapon for a specific map & mode". Asserting, that there is a single weapon, that bests every other weapon under all circumstances, just shows, that you still have not learned to think before to post. This is why weapon balance discussions usually lead nowhere.
I repeat: at this time, we don't have a dominant weapon, that has too much advantage over others independent of map & mode. Of course, on a wide, open map, a sniper has the advantage. In close tunnels, the shotgun may be best.
Most players who complain about balance simply think, it would be enough, to learn a single weapon - and then just bitch at the devs, if it isn't the best for every map & mode. Guess what... that's not how it works.
I'm not saying, that the weapon balance is perfect and should never be changed again. I just say, that it's good enough, that we can give it a rest for one release - especially, keeping in mind the endless and repeated "tweaking" of the past.
If you're not convinced: try to remember the outcome of past weapon tweak cycles. After every iteration, the bitching would start new. If we should learn one thing from the past, it is "there is no such thing as a weapons balance that pleases everyone". If the current one mostly annoys G1gantuan, I am fine with that.
