Ya well maby i'm wrong. After all you need to motivate the players to actually participate in the action.
Yes, you obviously suck at ET if you've never been promoted.
I love ET, especially for it's skill/XP system. Dual-pistols is pretty much a smacktards weapon, you don't really need them. They aren't very accurate, and you're better off using a thompson/mp40.

What I really love is the whole class based system. As an engineer, you get promoted for building stuff that your team needs (command posts, mounted machine guns, generators etc), so you don't have to be a really good fragger to be of good use to your team.

Covert ops can spot landmines with their binoculars, very useful for the team! And while most smacktards/noobs always go covert ops because they've got sniper rifles, unfortunately not many of them realize that if you have a heigher covert ops rank, you get a more steady aim with the guns, so instead they spend the round trying to snipe people and end up killing like 2 people at max. Pretty sad

Either way, it works. I see a lot of medics reviving people, engineers building stuff, covert ops destroying objectives etc. You can't rid the world of smacktards, but you can try to reward them for playing well.

Anyway, a little more on-topic, I heighly doubt it will be P2P, they would have announced that by now if it was.
