Thank you for the update.
As for people who wanted new perks/weapons... The way I see it, is that you have a dev team that is busy with their own areas of expertise. New weapons need models, animations (with real actors used for modelling the reloading along with other stuff definitely maybe), audio etc. It just so happened that the level design met its significant milestone at this point. Graphics people are busy with graphics stuff, level designer with level stuff, and if one area lags behind, chances are that they cannot readily allocate more generic codeslaves to it to make it progress any faster.
Adding in 'new perks' would probably be easy enough (since they only(?) need the lvl advancement effects and perk skills to be called new perks), but without their perk-class weapons being more or less 100% ready, is there actually a point - and would it do more harm than good; people would be wondering why new perks are in, but no weapons for them, eh?
Now, having mused about why 'we cannot have nice things', I would really like the current weapon arsenal to be a bit broader than what it is right now, even if the upcoming additions would be 'perkless' weapons (like flamethrower and katana currently are). Lack of high damage / hit weapons (Launchers, Xbow) is causing significant ammunition problems when gunning down scrakes and fleshpounds. Also, was LAW not originally a support-perk weapon before demolition perk was added to KF1?
