But what if, for example, 3 players have been in a match for 10mins and their guns have less penetration then a 4th joins and since guns are client based, all his guns would have high penetration. Wouldn't that be an unfair advantage for the other 3 unless you keep joining.
Well I can't really disagree with your station but here is my opinion.
Brutal truth is , players who are not pro most likely doesn't know that those guns could piece through some thick walls. By the time the player knows it , he already got killed badly like lots of times. So generally , if the 3 player is noobs and the 1 is pro then it would already be quite balance. But lets not assume shall we?
For example you go to a match and you start killing people in lets say the famous map of " capture the base "(I forgot the map ID but honestly its the map where there is one huge base at the most left side of the map.) That map is a good example of where high-penetration guns are very OP and yet rare. You camp inside the base(You wont , but lets say you do ) and use your pistol-Co1/raygun/sniper and shoot people through walls. You would be dominating somehow already dominate like a quarter of a map with those high penetration guns and pro skills.
(If i remember , there is only 2 Pistol , 2 raygun and 1 sniper on that map.)
Plus lets look at the high penetration guns (Can piece through 40mm) :
Pistol Co-1 , even if it not used for piecing it is still a excellent gun to use due to its damage.
Raygun , it have a very high chance to 1 shot kill anyone.
Sniper rifle , like the raygun , it have a very high chance to 1 shot kill anyone.
Alien rifle , the only bad thing is its low fire-rate , but look at its damage , 2-4-shot from this gun and its already enough to kill.
Hence? Even though this may somehow make things a bit unfair but overall , it can also make things more fair to people getting all the low penetration guns with maps that have thin walls. (And more fair to noobs.)I mean , every good effect would have a bad effect.
Thats just my opinion though , different people have different views on this.
