Stop the Eliteism!

Make it so that you can only choose weapons when everyones on the server!

(sorry if this has already been said)

That is a good idea in theory, but that isn

Team killers and the people who shoot weapons from others hands ruin the game.

If you were directing this at me, notice I said I only knock weapons out of people hands if they have been AFK in the spawn for a long time. I dont even take the weapons, I am just negatively-reinforcing bad habits.

Let's not forget that some of us paid beaucoup bucks for our rigs, and thus take all the good classes because we can. I used to be in the same boat you're in when the WRM weapon limiter was introduced for the CoD game series, but then I got a whole new rig and almost always get first choice of class/weapon depending on the location of the server.

You may have paid more for your rig. But we all pay roughly the same for the game. So I say share and share alike.

Ok, take first pick. That's not a problem. Just don't hog one class for ever. It's more fun to move around anyway. And you become a better team player too.

If the weapon selection was prioritized according to score it would be more fair: the highest score could choose any slot, the second highest got second choice priority, and so on. So if you want mg but are very good with the rifle you can earn the choice.

But what about the players that want to learn to be good with a class?

Those that dont want to spend half the round just getting their score up so they can reach the first priority?

Or the elitest bastards this would lead to?

I personaly think it's fine the way it is, no suggestions that have been put forward thus far have really given more pro's than cons.

Just ask the MG to drop his weapon and let you play with it a bit. He keeps the class you and you get to try it once or twice. But be carefull some servers might consider this a cheat. You could get say 3 snipers real fast this way

And you have to be careful with reinforcements if people start making suicides and distributing weapons to others. In some maps like stalingrad germans easily run out of reinforcements.

There are a few threads on this already, and I think I read somewhere that the devs are looking into a solution anyways.

First come... First served. If you want a certain class ask nicely. I would most likely give 1 up for someone else. I like the bolties anyway. But the G43 is the schizzznit!
P.S. I have been playing for about a month, and have still not been able to select the STG44, but I picked one up off a dead guy and it was Awesome.

I believe thats a very effective way of killing a game. Any new guy never gets a good gun or an intresting class. Only vets gets sniper, semi, Mg. No new guys are going to stay around.

If I by chance have a class someone else wants to learn or try, just ask in a nice way and you will get it.
I myself check the classes every time I die (unless Im pleased with the class I got) and can get Mg, semi and even once the sniper. And my loading times are 2 min or more.

I've seen a server where there was a short wait time before round #1 began. If there was some kind of "mutator" where you could not select a class until the round has begun then it could be less eliteist.
