I really enjoyed the game, although you made some points.
The Assault Combat Rifle is the most OP thing. Ever. 3 different people have told me it's like a Balac's on steroids. 3 different people, think about that.
Combat/Rail Rifles (Besides their Assault Variants) are really good weapons. Sadly, battles don't last long because I'm either killed by the incredibly fast TTK or I end up killing the other person, but overall they're very neat weapons. Only thing to note is that the Rail Rifle should have a slower rate of fire. It is a breach rifle, after all.
Many different factors make the game feel much smoother. Which is good, but also bad. It feels like I need to "re-learn" the game. I'm back to square one, but this time, I have Duvolles and Proto-Logis. I get a lot of kills, don't get me wrong, but at one point I tried to play with my Stealth-Tanking Scout M-1 using a Combat Rifle and went 13/21. Taking out Team-Kills, we'll say that's 13/16. Lot's of grenade spam coming from both sides. Wow.
Factional Warfare, just great. Just so great. I love it. I don't care that I'm not getting my ISK, because I'd like to have a balance between FW and Pub Matches, and I'm also getting AUR weapons/suits along with some pretty amazing salvage. Not to mention the Loyalty Store is just brilliant. The fact that it tells you how man ships are in the system, how many were destroyed, and the Station Count, is just great. It really makes the player actually feel like there's a better integration between EVE and DUST, and there definitely is.
Not gotten a chance to see a FW Orbital Strike yet, but I hope to see one soon. Hopefully it's not on my head. :(
Also I've not tried any vehicle stuff. My respec went directly into infantry modules/weapons/suits/etc. I'll try out a MLT LAV later. I do know that the dropship feels great, especially with the Swarm nerf. Even in a Gorgon, I wasn't shot down.
Hopefully in this next week, it gets a lot better, and I can actually do something without dying 21 times, but other than that, I think I liked this update more than I liked Uprising, when it first came out. I don't know, I just never looked at Uprising 1.0 and gave it as much praise as I give 1.7. GG, CCP. GG.
EDIT: Just realized I fought against OP earlier this morning. You get a like, for not proto-stomping too much. But I still hate you for kicking my face in. :D
