Oh yeah, that - perk & weapon balance - I agree with completely. 
Raz might having thought I was BSing about my unl337-skills though - it's amazing the difference that being able to hear the game properly can make ... and possibly the wired-to-router connection I now have.
Oh yeah... and it was my first set of matches using the gamepad.
Tried to get the headset - a Triton AX720 - mic crankin' but nothing showed in the lobby that I was active.
@Razalom the FAL rocks, mate. Also found the best counter to the jocks with the n00b shotgun that Macca guy was using is the semi-auto pistol... or anything with distance... lol
pwnstreet likes to dolphin-dive - aim in front of his feet as he jumps and he's gone...
This is the fun part @MadAussieBloke - figuring out how to counter the n00bish disco-moves and weapons. Unfortunately they still know the maps way better.... 

And they seriously need to make a kill confirmed for Nuketown 2025. That would be awesome.
