tldr

think about it, its "quicker" you can carrry it, you can repair it!

[...] Continoobity (<3) is the reason I changed my mind regarding the whole we-must-vanilla thing. I'll happily sound like a retard and shout "medlocks" in unison with dunc. lolteens

I guess I'll have to wrap my mind around the fact that 6v6 is about playing a reduced version of TF2. I can somehow understand it, because I played CS b7-1.6 somewhat successfully. In the end, everyone used only a small variety of weapons and the rest could have been in the game or not, it didn't matter. Well, thanks for the answers :)

[...] The basic reason behind all this, believe or not, is that people couldn't be arsed with what they called the random factor added into the game by all the new weapons. Some were saying it was hard to keep track of allowed/disallowed unlocks, so it was easier to just ban them all.

[...] success! ive been here long enough to see a repost of a repost of a thread

I'll give you the Wrangler and maybe the Sandman, to name a few. I don't know about the Gunslinger, but if you say so, ok. But I don't get why weapons like Degreaser, Flare Gun, Dead Ringer, Ambassador, Direct Hit, Original, Disciplinary Action - only naming a few - are not allowed. They allow different playstyles, reward skill or buff classes that are not as useful in many situations. I don't have much experience in 6v6. Still, I haven't seen many other arguments apart from "it'supposed to be this way, because it was this way before" It reminds me a bit of "Stop having fun guys" http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StopHavingFunGuys. But then again, I don't know much about the reasoning behind it. So please do enlighten me :-)
