Alas, I have yet to play the new patch.

I am curious as to whether the maps are playing differently because of jumping. There used to be tons of places you couldn't access without a DS.

Are people taking advantage of splash weapons?

It doesn't sound like the same strafe to win crap as it has always been, that's a plus.

I will admit though, wiped a bunny hopping scout off the nose of my dropship. Don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Maybe, have yet to play, but I could see the tanker's argument. Tracking in am tank turret must be hell from how slow it is.

Plus good luck finding cover from the jumping plasma cannon av nade scouts.

State your position and why you think so.

only if you're noob and haven't invested in proficiency yet. Prof three and blasters track fine. Jumpers, especially the ones with lots of myofibs, are really easy to track and hit.

Other turrets... well, you couldn't really hit infantry consistently with them anyway, so nothing's changed.

It completely removed a lot of the map design that seemed to funnel people due to the terrain.

Another thing to think about now that we have the Barnum and Bailey's jumping circus every match is dropships. What is its role other than being a glass cannon in the sky? Gone are the days of placing uplinks on elevated grounds. I jumped to ridiculous heights and popped links with ease. Honestly feels like im playing a Halo wanna be.

Let's look at a video done by jolly roger.

In his video there's a great number of circumstances starting at around 1minute in that demonstrate that he is able to use cover to shield himself from his opponents, but then jump above cover to attack them in a manner that they don't expect without them being able to retaliate in a similar manner.

He is able to do this for 51cpu and 3pg. Myo's provide considerably more movement options and situational advantages than kincats do, for a LOT lower pg costs and ~ double the cpu.

In addition some of us are still trying to figure out if this module is working correctly, and based on evaluation of foot height when a jump is made for complex modules, it seems like the complex myo might be giving the same bonus to jump height as it does to melee which would make it about 2x as good as intended, though the data isn't entirely clear currently.

In this patch in particular dropships have essentially no role at all. Even more AV on the field now in general, plasma cannon + super jump is actually really ******* scary if you're trying to do anything at all near the ground.

And now proto tanks are littering every match along with swarms of ADV and below, while you're still in your grandpa's fit.

It's a mess. Don't fly solo unless you're ready to lose lots of ISK. You can make it work with a good squad that has a couple tankers in it, if you fly smart and they keep **** off your back.

Our once glorious title of "Uplink Sweeper" has been generally ripped from us, now we're just back to floating coffins again.

Good. I thought ADS were a ridiculous addition to the game anyways.

Tactical gameplay now dead.

Obsolete? No.

Less effective? Absolutely

The ADS pilot and overwatch role have also taken a hit.

Mass drivers, flaylocks, and PLCs have become much more powerful.

Gameplay has changed as significantly as when cloaks and EWAR was introduced, IMO.

It will take some time for the community to react and align with the changes, as we are still in the infancy/experimental stage.

It will be interesting to see it play out.

As I thought cloaks, jump packs, and nova knives that damage vehicles.

And here they are. Sorry that the game isn't CoD, it must be hard for you.
