On Glass's server, I got to 75 points only using the starting handgun in about 20 minutes. I don't see the problem. It's not the weapons, it's the players. If you can't get any kills with the starting handgun, which is amazing, then you are just bad at the game.

After buying a couple weapons, a few people started complaining that the game wasn't fair because they start with such a crappy weapon and they have to fight against players with purchased weapons. I told them that the gun you start with is great and that they shouldn't be having any problem getting a good amount of points. They told me I was stupid and that the weapon sucks, so I cleared my inventory and grabbed the starting pistol. Only using the pistol, I got a 8-kill streak followed by a 9-killstreak which gave me about 25-30 points (kill streaks give you more points (I think)). It only took me about 8 minutes.

Explain to me how the buying weapons part of his server is biased at all.

Also, the capture points are important, that's how I got my 75 points that quickly.

Yes. We need WWI and WWII-type weapons. This would be nice.

With your logic of 'the starting handgun is amazing if you're good,' then that's biased against players that aren't good. The point of the server is to have fun blasting your comrades into tiny plastic bits, not being constantly beaten down by others. Being 'bad' at the game shouldn't limit how much fun you receive out of it.

So it's skill, not the weapons? Like I said...?

Find a DM where all the players have an equal amount of skill. You can't. Every single DM will have players that get a lot of kills and players that get a lot of deaths. Not everyone is going to have fun at a DM server because of this. Some players just aren't that good.

Nothing limits how much fun you receive from doing something. Some people have lots of fun even though they die a lot and get very few kills and some people don't have any fun even though they get tons of kills and hardly die.

"this maganum is shoot bullet they strong"
"this smig shoot a lot of bullets but is weak"
"this shotgnu is powerful up close"
