Balance Discussion / Re: [1.04] Balance, esp. early game for lower level players
« on: March 14, 2010, 10:20:52 AM »
This sort of elitist talk is why I generally avoid these ultra competitive games like the plague. Not all of us have the time nor desire to spend dozens upon dozens of matches honing skills which in many cases just kinda ruins the fun of the game.
In short "HURP A DURP LR2P" isn't the answer as high level and low level balance are not mutually exclusive things. All you're doing with that answer is alienating another sector of the player base.
The mod just has to be balanced towards the high end at first, seeing how that's who's putting the most time in on the game. If high level players found the mod to be massively imbalanced they'd just pass it over, especially if after a patch or three nothing had been done to change that. However the devs are by all evidence working hard to balance the soviets and low level balance is something that will come in time.
