skill difference

...

Didn't you say something negative about snipers when we were in GS's server today?

I am not so sure this gap exists to the extent you say. Assault Rifle has made a lot of people who otherwise suck competitive players.....
I know of a LOT of players who can barely move around the map with half a brain who stand still and aim and get mucho kills. AR as it is has slowed the game dramatically, and made it easier for people who suck to do well.

In other words, I think you are exactly backwards in your theory.
We need to attract less golden-gun gaymers, and more players who put in time and practice with a weapon that takes more skill because they love the game.

*ALSO: there are way too many clans as it is. Seems like twice a week some player who started playing last month is starting one. After the release of the next version, hopefully a lot of these new "AR" clans will go away.
