I have to be completely honest here CCP, my initial thoughts of 1.7 weren't particularly good, mainly due to the shield Nerf and Vehicle users getting SP back from vehicles to invest in .. infantry and not allow infantry the option to get their SP back and invest it in .. vehicles however a few things completely changed my opinion about 1.7
-That FW 2.0 LP store is genius !!!
It allows new players to earn Proto Equipment that they can use with ADV level skills and provides those with proto lvl skills what I like to call Proto+ equipment that isn't much stronger than the proto equivalents but still provide a good bonus and is likely to be saved for PC matches
FW 2.0 has really freshened this game up .. sure it's still the same skirmish gamemode on the same maps but it just feels alot more competitive, you can tell most of the people playing want to win .. FF is funny and despite all the QQ about it .. this game needed it ... you don't just have to look out for redberries now you've got to watch out for your own team mates too xD
-I am the kind of person who is willing to admit their mistakes and openly say that I was wrong about the Shield Nerf making the armor-shield balance worse
I was wrong and you were right CCP so I apolagise
The 2 new weapons really have balanced shield and armor tanking as well as balancing the AR and ScR so it really has become a matter of preference rather than 'use this gun and win'
-Current Issues
The Speed of Tanks, they are just way too fast and whilst I can understand why swarms were nerfed so much .. when a Tank can easily outrun them from being 20m away to being 200m+ away before the swarms can get near them then either Tank need slowing down a bit or the missile speed of swarms needs increasing
-Funny things 1.7 has created
'Jihad Jeeps' To coin a phrase I saw someone refer to this as
Attaching the new sticky remotes to a LAV and crashing into a Tank to destroy it and you ... ROFLMAO ... It actually makes me accept the total nerf of Swarms for this bomb truck anti AV .. I mean how many games let you attach explosives to a Vehicle and then proceed to crash into something to blow it up ....
Whatever you change or patch please DO NOT REMOVE 'JIHAD JEEPS'
-Conclusion
Good job CCP .. you have restored my faith in your ability to develop games and look forward to future patches

Man if a vehicle user specced into infantry they are really missing out. But your point stands.
Definitely some cool things in the update. FW is fun and rewarding, though way to open to griefing and weird team kill kicks. But still when it works it's great fun.
I'm not sure CR/RR really balanced shields v armor just has quieted the debate while everyone tries the new weapons. Once everyone settles and dusts off their ScRs we'll see. Evened the playing field weapon wise though so thumbs up for that.
Tank speed is crazy! Not sure how much of that is a bugged nos mod and how much is just insane speed. Definitely need webifiers now.
Jihad Jeeps are silly, make a little more sense in Dust then they did in, say BF, because you're actually sacrificing something (though doing it with BPOs is cheating lol). Really traditional AV was crushed and Jihad Jeeps fill a gap. Still they are insanely dumb but I'm cool with them for now. |

1.7 cured my cancer by giving my Commando armor killing weapons.

You forgot to mention that this also allows players to try out a new weapon without having to put skillpoints into it. |

Love the update. The new and improved FW is immensely improved. CRs are awesome but haven't gotten around to trying out the RRs yet. My only issue is with the lock on range of the swarms. 400 down to 175 meters is a little overkill. The damage nerf I can live with but the range needs to be upped to 200 maybe 250. At least as much range as the active scanners. They top out at 200 so it seems fair. Otherwise 1.7 is the right direction. Btw I second the keeping of Jihad Jeeps. Just plain fun. lol |

what good bonus do they provide? they seem like the exact same suits. i'm finding it hard to find the value in FW. i went to buy a complex dmg mod, yeah they lowered the cpu but they raised the pg by 20% wtf. |

I am not a tanker.
But the current tank speed is awesome. Who cares if it makes sense, let people cry. This is going to lead to some insane metagame. |
