Maybe that stationary laser gun... The one the stormies used on the falcon that was rendered awhile back? Or is that one TOO heavy?

He is using it as an example of limiting the number of a certain kit.

Im sure we will have pickUp kits of some sort at some stage but I cant tell you for sure what they will be.

But how would you pick it up if it's removed, or are you saying remove it for everyone who doesn't have it yet?

Right, good old POE 2 (which sad hardly anyone plays anymore as the demo of Bf2142 came out about a month after it did) had normal weaps for all the kits, and super weaps which a few of were on each map. These included a heavy MG, 1 shot kill armour-piercing sniper rifles (which could only shoot while prone), heavy AT missile, AA missile, and rapid fire sniper rifle.

Anyway, the point is that it brought extra weapons into the game without unbalancing it. You could argue the G36E is too good now, it could be made pickup-only to limit the numbers of people using it.
