I really hope I can get used to this.
Perhaps the only thing that ever made me a good player in this game was the fact that I could think on the fly, and my 80+ WPM typing speed means I could change out in an instant.
If some spaz was impossible to hit with the shotgun, I could quickly switch to M-249 and win. If some idiot takes 20 shots then goes behind a wall, I know he's switching to bomb, so my quick reflexes allow me to switch first and get the win.
That's gone. I just got my ass kicked about 60-5 in a noob beginner camp.
It's really bad when you walk over a weapon to pick it up. It's almost an extra 1 second on top of the old wait.
I understand "more realistic," but these measures to make the game more realistic (like giving pistol/shotgun more damage, now increased waiting times) just put me behind the 8 ball all over again.
Pingtards don't have to worry about this, of course. They can absorb the first 3 bullets without taking damage anyway, not to mention that they're exponentially harder to hit than anyone with a good connection.
I hope I can get used to this. Right now, it's a bummer.
And to musoi's point:
I seen 2 speedhacks today not thrown out. So I think we need MORE aggressive!
