The situation is there are 30 players in-game. do I need to say any more? Making it more difficult to get into the game and start playing is a terrible idea and will only reduce the amount of activity.
As it is, beginners to this game are (and always have been) driven off because of the difficulty of playing against a server full of decent players. Instead of making it more difficult for newbies to enter this community (by using cards etc) you should be making it easier. The download and assist is very easy to use and that would be hard to improve. Servers dedicated to new players is an option that has always been looked into in the past, but it is too easy to exploit (and frag rate warriors will gravitate towards them) not to mention the fact fact that the servers that already exist are barely getting filled.
The admins could make more of a conscious effort to keep teams even skill wise, but that is a lot of effort and wouldn't work.
Basically, making it 1 account / 1 card will drive off the majority of already existing players and severely reduce the already small amount of new players. There is really not a lot that can be done at this stage.
