Weapon Balance and Gameplay Discussion

[Mael]

I hope more people realize that the issues with weapon balance aren't just related to the stats of each gun. It's also about what map you are playing on and the quantity of maps that are suited for one weapon contrasted with those suited for another. In 1.0 many maps were best played with the sniper. Combine that with the gun's natural advantages and everyone will use it. There's another way to balance weapons and it's making/tweaking more maps where each weapon has it's advantage.

Point is, mappers, look at the [official]maps that are out there, the weapons that are best on those maps and gear your's so they're more versatile.
