Some of us started playing this game seriously BECAUSE these guns were strong. I've played 500 hours in the last 5 months or so trying to get better so I can get these guns. Now i'm 200 points away and feel like if these things aren't at least replaced in power level, my goal and reason for playing just got taken away. screw your 4 months, why don't i get to try too? I've never found them sucky to play against. I've always thought people who have them earned them. If you HAVE the gun and aren't having fun, play with other things that you DO find fun and don't worry about winning.
