I don't think support classes are needed, mainly because UT99/2k4 were so great as they were, and they had none. That's just my opinion though. What I don't want to see us give up for support classes or anything else for that matter is SHORT RESPAWN TIMES.

I think everyone can agree that waiting to play SUCKS. There are plenty of ways to balance the game without touching spawn times. If anything we should be requesting shorter spawn times. I for one insist on instant spawns. I hate waiting, and believe there are numerous ways in any FPS to have a strategically sound and balanced game without having to wait to play.

The whole concept of spawn times is, in my opinion, a flawed one that is counterproductive to the very purpose of a FPS: Fun.
