You know the spooling mechanic is used in one of the most successful F2P FPS to date, right? (Team Fortress 2)

It's a good mechanic. Really.

1 and 2. That isn't an argument. It's borderline spam. It's not even that damn funny.

3. Class balance is the best in the FPS genre, as far as I'm concerned. Since Valve doesn't have to deal with players fitting modules to vary up their equipment they have fixed stats for every class. It works for them.

Weapon balance is hit or miss, but still better than Dust 514. Pre-spinning is intended to add a certain level of player skill to the Heavy class. The devs recognized that the heavy would be innately easier to play than other classes so they added spool-up to the mini-gun for this exact reason.

Also, why do you always post in lists? It's not necessary. We can understand you without numbered responses.

Stating "lolno" doesn't strengthen your argument. It just makes you look like a tool. TF2 balance isn't perfect, it is just a lot better than Dust's balance. As you point out in bullet point two of your massive list of counter-arguments, the demoman is one of the more powerful classes in the hands of a higher tier player.

Still no answer about the list thing, huh? Would it help if I replied to you in list form?

Rattati why do you all insist on keeping the HMG in CQC?

Serious question, one that I can't see a logical answer to.

first point is a weakness that is negated by CQC which removes exposure to weapons that can readily kill a sentinel.

Second is an irrelevance because it's predicated on the self sustaining idea that because HMGs are a CQC weapon that must be the most balanced place for them, therefore they must remain a CQC weapon.

Third point ignores that there are other ways to balance a weapon rather than simply extending out the range and shifteing dispersion to accomodate. Without a change to the weapon in a couple places, no, I would call it a horribly bad idea. But I think the HMG should be vulnerable to CQC, not invincible in CQC.
