Make unique weapns for Dark and Light Force

[qweqqweq]

making team unique weapons would be like making martial arts sumo wrestler fight a heavy weight boxers every day for the rest of their lives. although it would be funny and interesting at first, eventually everyone would just get sick of it because it's much more interesting in the long run to watch two experts of the same styles fight each other. Or you could think of it like being force to use an axe against a katana all the time. Without that fundamentally equal playing field how would you know who's really better or if it was a fundamental imbalance that let one side win over the other? well, you'd have to guess by using statistics, wouldn't you? Now, with the equal playing field you can quickly and easily guage the better player or player groups at any given time with a single match that decides it all. It's for all the marbles with equal playing fields, you take away that equality among the sides and you're making it less of a win. Like say, for instance, if you had two different sides with two different sets of in game tanks and equipment options then a win would only ever prove that you're better at that side vs the other side. Then it would require an rematch of the exact same teams on opposite sides to prove the absoluteness of the superiority or one team over another.

Thus, in conclusion, it would require 2 games, a second after the first and then switching forces, to see a clear winner, and an eternal draw could be outcome if one side can never overtake the other at least 2 times in a row with both teams. and it would be impossible to know for sure if one side really had an advantage or not in some situations so that would distract away from the actual fighting.

and btw: horselance's version is very fun and excellent in my opinion. i don't know if it would still work after all the recent editor changing patches though. horse, which side do u think had an advantage in your own map ultimately? or did you think it was equal chances for either?
