I removed sniper rifles as they severly limited the losing team's chance to regain a node when someone was camping far away being almost untracable.
Raptors were OK in more crowded games, but I felt they gave a too big advantage when there's less players and the already overpowered team got hold of one. I may add one as an easter egg all the way to the top though like I did with the tank.
Score recovery should still be there, maybe you rejoined with a changed name or didn't play long enough before.
