It's a tried and tested way to balance the game, you can't do it by adjusting the numbers all the time trying to make every weapon balanced. Instead the player should earn a rank which then places them at a certain tier, as they rank up they gain access to the new tier. The tiers give access to certain Mechs/weapons and equipment. Essentially like WOT but without the stupid year long grind just to reach tier 10.

Certain weapons need to be epic, certain Mechs need to be epic, earned through service, not available to everyone after a few days grind.

Eve online, WOW, Rift, WOT etc all the top MMO's have this system and that's because it bloody well works. It makes the games more fun as you don't see all the same gear/tanks in every battle. In MWO everyone has the same weapons/Mechs/Builds because half the weapons are simply useless after your so called balancing. Who would ever use a LPL now? No one. Everyone takes PPC because everyone has access to it, this is the problem.

Leave the weapons alone, make LPL much better than LL but put it on a high tier, make PPC even higher. Low level players would only have AC2/SL/SSRM/LRM5 and medium Mechs, then as they progress they unlock better Mechs and weapons.

Probably too late to do this now but I really wish this was the mechanics of MWO, it would make for much better battles instead of seeing the same Mechs with the same weapons time after time.

I know when the clans arrive something like this may happen but I wait in hope.

All this does is give experienced players undergunned pubbies to farm.

PPCs shouldn't be OP as hell and only allowed to be used by old players, they should be balanced with the other weapons to allow multiple viable styles of play.

This isn't an MMO.

I don't understand, you're asking for unlockable weapons and perks like call of duty?
