That was in the update, lights can no longer exploit the invite system to wield heavy weapons...too bad they forgot to patch the mediums as well. First match I was in I get gunned down by a medium solider with a Gatlung gun. Seriously...I've been one of the hardest defenders of this game but, this is just slack. Patch an exploit only to leave a gaping hole in it? Come on now.
if this is true (not doubting you, which platform?) i hope they patch this soon. I was in a comp (settings, not tourney) match last week, and not only were we on the short end of a 3 v4 on container city (as security no less), but there was a light bouncing around with a HMG. i was pissed. I can handle getting spawn camped, and i can handle getting spawn camped when outmanned. but when i see someone on the other side also using an exploit, despite the structural advantage they have from both map and team numbers....CTFO!
