kav look at it this way, a good player can get 6 or 7 kills in the first round, so by round 2 they can already be on scout(9) where other people are still on lvl 1 and 2. having the scout where it is gives players with a slow start to catch up rather quickly and keep the game interesting. it also is far enough into thw weapons rotation to keep it from turning into a scout/knife server since there's less chance of everyone being on it, like it would be at a lower lvl.
