Who cares if it's funny or not...
It shows what position in team Support Class takes right now.
It's 1 man army.



EDIT:

Just joined in some random game on hard.
I was shocked that I had only about 10 or 15 frags after "first round" (3/7) .
At 4/7 I've noticed one thing... my whole team was playing as support, shoting at anything that moves.

Oh comeone, it's not funny anymore, I see more people playing as support every day...

It's really ridiculous. And in that pic, it's ironic that you were a Commando, the weakest class!

They get penetration, damage, and ammo bonuses with the best weapons in the game, Improved carry weight, more & better nades...they're THE broken class.

The part that really sucks is that people are starting to catch on...I even had a veteran in a server today telling newbies how, if they'd level up Support, they don't even need the other classes...

He had good points too! They get more grenades and can carry quite a combo of weapons. At level 5, they also have their normal shotgun to fallback on. Just a few of the sick combos they can have at Level 5 (Plus the shotgun for free!):

-ALL of the Sharpshooter weapons at once (Handcannon, Lever Action Rifle, Crossbow)
-Flamethrower (Long range), Chainsaw (Melee/Short), and Shotgun (Mid-range)
-Crossbow, Shotgun, and Flamethrower
-LAW, handcannon, and Shotgun
-Shotgun, Hunting Shotgun, and Crossbow

There are even more combos. It's sick. Not to mention the retarded ease of leveling: just spam the shotgun into a crowd...penetration does all the rest! By far the easiest to get to Level 5 with, if you weld a few doors along the way...

i dont get it guys, its not about ****ing scoring, its about winning. you guys are really pissing me off with that bs about "ah he is to uber, i only get half of the kills he gets".
I know support specialists are kind of an one-man-army, but without their team they are f*cked becuase of long reload times and slow movement speed. and the team wouldnt be so successful without him/his firepower.
of course not every ss is so kind to give a spare weapon to a teammate, but its a general problem of selfishness, not of the game itself. so please stop this whining here, everything is fine as it is.
