But then everybody would be playing sniper/spy exclusively and the game would suck.I'm really loving this update simply because the amount of snipers and spies hasn't really gone up, people play them for a while after they get the items but it's not 11 snipers and 11 spies in a 24 person server. And on top of that you'd just have the achievement server bullshit all over again, and so you have, in fact, defeated the entire purpose of the new system. I'm all for higher chances when you're performing well, but don't include achievements and class specific gameplay in this.
