I'd say no, not the majority, maybe one or two on Glock/knife and the rest smattering throughout the lower ranks. It just seemed like after we changed the handicap a few months ago (to like half of its original 'value') late joiners were in the mid-teens at best, but normally would start closer to FAMAS/Galil. Now they seem to be on 21/22+ as soon as they join, and that makes getting to nade and stealing a game pretty easy, which I think is why we changed it in the first place. This change seems to have happened since Valve's latest major update/Zero getting the servers stable again.

I dunno, might require further testing for a definitive answer. There are a couple of other minor issues as well, such as the reason for a player's disconnect being completely unknown (I brought this to Zero's attention already) and the map votes no longer having number three as the first available option (hadn't mentioned that one yet). Perhaps both of these things are due to Valve's update and unchangeable though.
