No it's simple logic. The risk of pushing on depot against nade spammers was too high in 1.04. Remember on this map CTF is virtually TDM, good teams won't concede flags. There headshots and nades being worth more makes aggressive play too risky. The problem with everyone who said words to the effect of "just no" above is that they're not really competitive players. The only time frags matter is on maps where flags are likely tied, which is only really depot and iceroad. I wouldn't care about frags if it was judge solely on flags but currently headshots and the sniper in general just cause camping and slow the game down.
You know most of this games problems stem from two things, sniper players expecting to get good results for just hitting one bullet and high spread.
Yeah i agree head shots should only be worth 1 frag, they are so simple and easy i often find myself getting around 20 head shots a game. While we are at it the AR should do 50 damage a shot(so that camping is eradicated)
Depot was easily the most played map in my experience with 1.04 and yes people used nades more often, but it was still just as easy if you were smart to flag, it's important to realize that there will never be an 100% approval rating on the games balance, but simply saying snipers slow down the pace of the game is ridiculous, why? it's a fucking sniper(support weapon), do you expect them to charge in first and take on a team full of AR's? ask yourself this, if a 3v3 was played where one team was only using sniper the other team only using AR who would win? yes, that's right the AR's because it's an easy gun that works well in almost every situation, stop trying to influence the balance of the game so it suits your play style better. Seriously dude snipers are so damn easy to beat with what is a very OP AR, i applaud a good sniper who can hold mid on depot.
