Balanced, right. So someone with a Needler has a chance against a guy of equal skill with a Plasma Pistol and an SMG?
It's "balanced" in the same way that CoX is - the same options are available to all players, and the players gravitate towards what works and shun what doesn't. Or they lose.
It's "skill-based" in the sense that, ignoring other circumstances, the better player will win. Which - hey, that sounds like CoX PvP again!

That would make sense if switching to a level 50 ice/em or something in the middle of a match was as simple as picking up a plasma pistol.. or if people didn't start with the same weapon and couldn't switch weapons.
In MLG rules everyone starts out with a battle rifle anyways, you only pick up a needler to blind them with pink spikes and humiliate them.
It's easy to say "ignoring other circumstances," but in MMO pvp that rarely happens.
