Why the hell would you put a console handicap mechanic in a PC exclusive FPS? Why?

That's funny... I wasn't aware 2142 was released on consoles, which console was it released on? Oh yeah... It wasn't. If you're going to make arguments at least check what you're saying isn't giant utter bollocks.
Also, it worked wonderfully in 2142 and was called netbat back then, netbat was fantastic. It's just since been overbuffed for one reason or another, likely because it was something of an underperforming game, despite being amazing. Underperforming game's mechanics are generally consider in need of mechanic overhauls.
