Really hoping they start work on the Assault/Logistics balancing for 1.8/1.9

We'll start to see that strategy emerge sometime in the new year. Really hoping they start work on the Assault/Logistics balancing for 1.8/1.9 See I don't know if these kinds of concerns will get us very far. Even if there was balance, I don't know how deep experience would continue to be after a week, a month or a whole season of whatever 'balance' that we get. There needs to be something more than the continuous shooter/lobby matchups that we are getting continually. I'm not saying we don't need balance, but that a resource investment toward this balance will only buy so much time for them. The sandbox needs to be bigger, IMO. But that's my point. If 1.8 and 1.9 are part of the "holding pattern" then yes, they'll be about balance and bug fixing. But hopefully, while that is happening management is getting the strategy finished and dev teams are starting to plan new features and content that fit with that strategy. The first we'll know of it will probably be a dev blog announcing what comes next after Uprising. Of course, I could just be hopelessly optimistic and naive.
Balancing what we've already got isn't as hard as say, designing an entirely revamped Faction Warfare system on both Dust 514 and Eve Online. And sure, it's continuous and boring and all but honest to god it'd be a hell of a lot more bearable if I wasn't fighting master race Logi's with my broken arse assault suit.
As far as the "holding pattern" I'm not even sure that's an accurate term to use but it's pretty close. We're getting new content with 1.7 for the first time since - hell, since we got Commandos. The graphics team must be bored out of the freaggin minds right now.
Edit: Well I guess they've been working on the new maps.. Which is pretty cool.. Can't wait to see the Caldari Production Facility.

If you can unlock everything in a game and still play it, years on, same maps, same guns.
That's a good game.
And it's been done before. There is such a thing as being spoilt for choice!
Only ones I can think of are Left 4 Dead and Killing Floor. I have Battlefield 3, a few Call of Duty games and Planetside 2 - can only tolerate them in small doses.
