Thoughts on equality of weapons:
Assault Rifle: Seems fine to me, if the other weapons are 'improved' to keep up with it, many people enjoy this weapon in 1.1.
Sniper Rifle: Honestly I didn't have an issue with the sniper in 1.0, dodge the first shot and you pretty much have them with decent aim, maybe if it went back to shot(82) + 1 pistol(18) = death, e.g 82 damage, I think it would keep the snipers happy, and the higher frequency of armour could also prevent the sniper + 1 pistol shot, for example if you have 25 armour it takes at least sniper + 2 pistol shots? They already have the loss of the larget hs box :P, I think maybe give them a bit of power back.
Shotgun: I think you can truly see that a weapon is out of balance when 90% of the server is using a weapon. And alot of the map rots seem to include maps where you'll easily get suck in corridors/tight spaces, e.g ac_gothic with 14 players in tktf. I think spread should be increased a tad on this one, I think most agree it is overpowered in 1.1.
Carbine: Another weapon I think is fine, in the hands of somebody who knows how/when to use it, it is a deadly weapon. I think it is very much only for certain situations/maps though. I don't think headshot or anything else needs to be implemented for this.
SMG: Whatever I say about this will be bias due to this being my personal favourite, I think it needs to be improved a little bit whether through spread, damage, I'd be quite happy for recoil to be increased at the gain of some more power/damage, as you can learn to account for and to play with recoil.
With increased armour strength in 1.1(I know it was reduced in 1.1.0.3) I think it has partly taken away from the pace of the gameplay(May sound stupid but I think it's noticeable), even if only by the fraction of a second, it is taking just that bit longer to kill somebody, so by SMG + Sniper being brought up to the speed of the current AR + Shotgun I think it'll bring back some of the speed and love from 1.0.4.
Hopefully i've helped in some way, if i'm wrong about your favourite weapon or your thoughts sorry in advance :)
A changed 1.1.0.4 will be interesting to try, so hopefully the community may be brought back together
