[Brian McIlmoyle]

Some hosts will require you to conform with gear and loadout requirements ..

but when just starting out you want to put you $ into a good reliable gun .. the other stuff can come later once you get out to a few games and see what people have.

don't be deterred by people saying you need this or that..

You need the will to learn , and desire for fair play , to be successful.. everything else is just money and time
