At anon:

People usually feel that specs are "noobs" usually because of the easy weapons, the (old) high stat boosts, and the majority of them are bought with NX (since many people don't like spending a high amount of their GP).

First of huge dislikes, the Minigun. Sure, it does have real high recoil, but after a short time of firing, it stops going up and only goes side to side, allowing control and practically covering a whole corridor.

Next, the M32 Grenade Launcher. Sure, it has short range, but notice the 2 hit kills, the rapid firing, and the fact that you have 12 Grenades, it makes short use of Infected, people, and spies alike. After awhile of using, you should notice that you would only need to aim a bit higher to hit farther.

I could go on more about each weapon, but of course, I don't want to type it all out, so lets move onto the stats.

The Classic specialists had LARGE amounts of stat boosts, usually in speed, sprint stamina, or protection. A Classic Scorpion has a Heavy vest, along with no negative speed, easy for people to like to tank a lot while moving around. Now, obviously, the Specs have been sent to "training" (or nerfed in this case) so obviously, they have decreased stats as opposed to the Classic specialist, but they sure still have their weapons.

And lastly, the pricing. A many months ago, the Specialist rank resrictions were lowered by a large amount from around 2nd LT down to SSG 1, which was unbelievably low. Even though specs now are nerfed, it's still angering when you see a low ranking player killing you with a M32 by shooting (or spamming) all 6 grenades...

Also, like I said, people usually don't like to spend much of their GP for the Specialists for a high duration, and to buy a weapon for a high duration along with a spec is also something people don't like to do, so some people would spend real money to buy a spec, which I would never recommend.

Yes indeed there are also high powered GP weapons, but what about in Quarantine Regen? A person with a RPG could easily get their kill stolen by something like a M32, and the non-explosives only keep them off for a time.

Thank you for reading.
