Agreed.
Let tac ops be a shooters game,not a wallet/gear game.
Its tough for newer shooters to dump the serious $$ into the game to be competitive.
Its kind of the nature with most competitive sports,but would sure like to see more newer shooters feel like they are the ones holding themself back and not gear.
Agreed,That's what open is for! Sometimes I ask myself why I shoot it...as I watch my wallet go up in flames!
Last time I checked the majority of guys I see have 3000 dollar JP rifles with 2000 dollar swarorski glass, which my Frankenstein rifle doesn't come close to.
So I don't see how a 50 dollar metal tube amounts to much of a "arms" race.
