When I first played the game, there ability to chat with team mates and taunt enemies made the game fun factor =10. after server mergers and no chat, fun factor = 7 After start of crazy drug infused orgies = 3. So actually if a good chat is present, it really increase fun factor

Darn. Creating an OP shaft will encourage more people to just camp and snipe in large maps, not that it is not already happening. Currently mid tanks still have a chance to rush and sneak out to attack, with a 1 shot kill it will be no fun at all. I can imagine battles like highway with 8 snipers per team, utterly boring.
