I was actually very glad to see this post and I agree with almost all of it though the largest problems seem to be with weapon balance and strafing. I'm fairly new to this game but first impressions count for a lot in a crowded gaming space so i will chime in on this one. The assault rifle seems wildly underpowered to me and going into any kind of CQB fight i know that i will almost certainly lose. I run in, and even if i hit them with almost the entire clip of 25-30 shots it wont be enough to bring them down. We will strafe in a circle and jump up and down for a minute while i reload while they get to unload the better part of their clip into me and some time shortly after i will die. Assault riffles should be made to feel deadly, i understand that the idea is were infantry/mech hybrids and can soak up punishment, but when the first and second tier of assault rifles is so weak that even an entire clip to the face is frequently not enough to kill someone it has two major negative consequences for the game. The first is that it makes new players feel like they are playing in a pay to win game because without investing large amount of time (which equals money in F2P) they are impotent and at a clear disadvantage. The second is that it removes any semblance of tactical gameplay. Since Its impossible to quickly dispatch enemy's with an assault rifle many fights play out like bizarre paper rock scissor matches where two people strafe and bunny hop while reloading until the person with the harder hitting gun typically wins regardless of how good the initiate was (ill frequently sneak up behind people and get maybe half my clip into the back of their head before they start the strafe dance and still have little chance of winning). combine this with a knife that does no damage and iv snuck up behind people landed two knife hits empties the better part of my clip into them and still died while reloading, Please up the minimum lethality of projectile weapons in this game because right now it plays more like planetside 1 than it does like a modern day AAA FPS. I believe that for this game to be successful a mid level assault rifle should average 1 kill per clip if you have an accuracy of 60-70%. Reloading should be something that builds drama when you fight against 2 people and you kill the first with one clip and then have to reload of go to pistol for the 2nd, it shouldn't be expected that securing one kill should take 2 or maybe even 3 clips if your accuracy is a bit off as the game quickly degrades into people strafing in circles and jumping up and down.

First - Headshots already do much higher damage. Wish granted!

Second - Melee difficulty is a byproduct of the bugged hit detection, which is fixed next build. Your blade woes will be solved soon enough! Fully skilled and fit for max melee damage, you can insta-kill most scouts and some assault suits, by trading literally all of your tank in exchange. Wish(es) granted!

Third - Spawning is currently bugged, you currently spawn in exactly the same spot every time, and this is not intended. The enemy won't be able to easily predict your spawns when this is fixed.

Headshots don't do enough damage: I once sneaked behind a merc that was using a cannon, I shot him in the head using a sniper rifle and it took me 2 bullets to kill him.
Assault have 322-50 hp, unmodified shields or armor, and the SR dmg is 160 hp so my bonus for headshot at 1 meter was 2-30 hp: ridiculous.

Also the Nova Knife, un-upgraded, takes 3 hits to kill someone and, as you once siad, to maximize the Nova Kfie you basically become a "glass soldier" with nod defenses: not a great thing to simply finally get a OHK for weapon that at best you use 2 times in a match.

First off, I think Headshots should actually change how much damage you do. I would spend a entire clip of a breach assault rifle to the head and get the same damage output as shooting them in the chest. Second, stabbing people is extreamly hard because he has no accuracy at all while flailing his knife, and it does very little damage for how hard it is to stab people. So i think If you stab someone it should be a insta-kill. Third, sometimes you will spawn and be surrounded and would die instantly. So it would be nice if you could implement a spawn shield of say 5 seconds to at least be able to get out of the way so you can defend yourself.
when you strafe and shoot you do way less damage even though you are hitting them dead on. Please change the damage output for that.[u][b] Lastly, I would like a grenade aiming system so you can know where it is going. For example having a arch so you can see how far your throwing it. Those are my main problems when i play this game. Other than that this game is great keep up the good work!!
