Valve are going to keep adding new weapons, and they are not going to add miles stones for the community ones. But at the moment each unlock seems to be tackled on its own, when quite often its the same problem as the last unlock, that gets it banned from play. So it seems to me that some sort of system needs to be in place, to an extent that if valve added a dozen more weapons tomorrow, there wouldn’t need to be a fuss. Now I have no idea how this would work, but I am sure It could work, on some basic rules. A nice idea that passed by, is teams would have to decide what weapons to allow each game, and both teams would have to agree. But this would obviously waist to much time, and arguments would likely reach stalemates. But maybe some simple rules, for example no unlock can be used until they have been in-game for “x” amount of time and have not been shown to be overpowered. That rule would make sure everyone has time to get the unlock, and for it to be assessed, and for valve to fine tune it. Another option would be for it only to be allowed in a match if both teams have it, but allow it the second it is released. The obvious problem with this one is, if one team may delete a weapon because they don’t like it, but don’t want the other team using it. I just think some bi lines so that new weapons don’t get the community in such a state may be worth the time. Though there are many options, and flaws to poke in all of them. Final idea could be just to have all teams of ETF2L who have played at least one game, or have registered to a league or something, vote. Democracy can work in some cases.

I think that he has a point in that there should be a set group of procedures we use when testing new weapons. It is evidently going to be a long time before valve give up on this game because the love it as much as we do.

tl;dr
