Please hear me out before you hit reply and pillory me with insults.    I was thinking about IA and it’s balance, and something occurred to me. Newbie weapons are important. Here’s what I mean, everybody looks for the biggest firepower granted in every match (their BFG). Newbie weapons are BFGs at little to no skill. And 90% of players complain about no skill BFGs. But without these no skill BFGs the server would be a tiny group of skilled players and would never grow in number.
