The guns kill faster, but the players move slower. Which doesn't work well.
I can adapt, but it's still less fun if you're adapting to a style of gameplay that isn't as good as it was before.
Also, AC is a work and progress and always has been. In my opinion, people shouldn't be defending 1.1 as if it were going to be the new assault cube permanently and therefore we should get used to it. It's going to keep changing so I don't see why it isnt constructive to have a discussion about things to improve in the next version.
