Wat.
Legit source alright, I can clearly see the population sample used in the statistical analysis, right.
In vehicular maps there is no reason NOT to use Engineer. It has very decent weapons for any range really, has AT mines/Repair Tool and a varied assortment of rocket launchers. The most anti-vehicle capability the other classes have is C4(which requires some serious sneaking OR a very stupid tank driver), which is useless against air vehicles, and the grenade launchers, which take all of their 6 shots to disable an enemy tank.
In infantry maps tho it is at a disadvantage somewhat, with the Assault having its magical healing box.
I also want to say that the Support is definitively not the second most common class in Metro. In most games I see around the same number of Engies and Supports, or even more Engies than supports.
I've created a simple list of why its great and why its bad.
Good:
1. Fast as shit! These maps go really fast and thats what I like.
2. Not entirely always the same. Of course some of them are the same, but sometimes they aren't all the same
3. Strategy? Yes there is strategies... By learning the map you can tell where people are. Plus sometimes the entire team goes 1 way and the enemy team will get behind you. You have to think about it. It teaches the art of prediction too.
4. I can kill the enemy without them respawning and spamming the shit out of me with SMG. This is amazing? do I have to say anything else?
5. Rushing is cool. Is it not fun that rushing isn't cool. Not only is it fun but it sure gives you a hell of a RUSH!
Bad:
1. SMG Sucks major balls. It may not suck but its really frusturating when its super OP. I can simply switch to smg and mow the shit out of the enemy team.
2. Wallspading. Frusturating but also fun if you do it.
3. SuperCampers! These are the people that camp in the best place every single time for the entire game with either SMG or shotgun.
4. Hackers. If I didn't put this on the list there would be no order in life.
5. Grenades. Some maps people spam the shit out of grenades and as soon as you walk out of spawn you are instantly dead.

Bad map design if you can grenade the opposing team from spawn.
Scripts like smgsucks.py can prevent certain weapons being used.
Does an anti camp script exist? That could definitely make arena more interesting keeping everyone moving about.

For people who are used to playing open maps with long-range combat, CQC in Arena is just a clusterfuck.

What the fuck are you even talking about? Arena maps? Rounds?

This is something that really only exists in open-map modes. Many of the Arena maps don't have ways of flanking, so the maps are essentially giant choke-points.
I want my tunnel-flanking back, damn it.

There's this new thing called "killing someone and leaving the site before they come back", you should try it sometime...

Such hot action is something that should have stayed on MW3. If you try to do such a "rush" on the enemy lines in an open map, you'll be screwing yourself over. It's essentially a suicide run in those game modes.
