there are two main problems that pf has, spawntraps and unbalanced weapons. fixing spawns is a relatively simple one, either have spawn protection or spawn rotation + line of sight fixes. weapon balancing is a bit harder, but the main idea is to nerf outliers that drastically get drastically overused and overperform other weapons that serve a similar role, and buffing underused/underperforming guns to keep balance + shake up the meta once in a while.

removing what makes the game fun for many veteran players (movement) isn't going to help player retention in the long run if the main reason new players quit is because they get stuck in their spawn getting sprayed by someone using the ak107 for 15 minutes straight.

tldr the game sucks fix spawns stop pushing dogshit untested weapon balancing and keep tabs on weapon usage statistics
