I'm confused. Plain and simple. How in the hell does character movement relate to "dumbing down"? I've seen multiple posts (threads and replies) about how the strafe speed and HP are "dumbed down". Do you mean to tell me, that if I start huffing paint and giving myself brain damage, that my HP will be increased?

I think what you should be complaining about, is that CCP is trying to make everything in the game balanced, it has nothing to do with the intelligence level of the game. CCP is trying to make every piece of the game, balanced in respect to every other piece of the game. They are turning their game into an arena type shooter, made to rely solely on foot soldiers that don't use cover, when cover and vehicles would make the game significantly better.

The reality is that a scout should be able to run circles around a heavy, a heavy should be able to withstand obscene amounts of damage, logi guys should be able to carry tons of equipment, and an assault merc should be very well rounded. LAV's should be agile and weak, tanks should be slow and strong as F... Dropships should be able to fly high, get on top buildings, or camp on the MCC if they desire.

So quit complaining about how this game is getting "stupider" because it isn't, if anything it's getting smarter, working better, and doing what it's supposed to be doing. Unfortunately, what it's supposed to be doing, is annoyingly casual, and reflects arena type gameplay far to much. You all need to start complaining about the over done -Balance- in Dust 514. Balancing this game is what's causing it problems. Nerfing tanks, buffing AV, nerfing dropships, nerfing forge guns (are they un-nerfed now?), nerfing the HMG. It's all unnecessary and uncalled for, and it's taking the competitive, tactical, and strategic values out of the game.

For someone who is making IQ jokes you are pretty ******* stupid. The gun game has been has been dumbed down not the intelligence level. Someone just explained that to you yet you are willfully ignorant. Good job.
