Thanks for all the responses. I am not for getting rid of any of the weapons in the game. While I have been playing Battlefield since the days of BF2 and 2142, I am new at BF2 only til about a couple of months ago. It is just increasingly frustrating as I rank up and get better weapons to endure the abuse like I experienced last night on the server. And many servers are unavailable to us none Premium users so I try to get on the ones with long term reputations. I will try to stay on and not complain in chat but....AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! OK ... I feel better since I screamed. lol
