These are my opinions on the changes and what I think of the game overall.
1. HMG nerf. We all knew it was coming. I decided long ago that I wasn't going to go heavy again this build. We didn't know the nerf would be so bad. It is nearly a 30% reduction in dmg and people are saying a 50% reduction in range. Yet people seem to be doing well with it regardless. Is it bad to admit a few have killed me? Heavies are no longer viable as solo, you are dependant on your team. They can't shoot a dropship out of the sky anymore and they can destroy LAVs in less than 30 sec anymore. They can't dominate from overhead anymore either. Seems like CCP has a vision for them and we were not following it.
2. Laser. Yay, again it still seems potent. They still have crazy range and can still chop us all in half. You sure they been nerfed?
3. Weapon ranges, they have all been adjusted. Makes maps seem larger, makes several old strategies impossible. It is balance. I feel like weapon fitting are close and that when we get weapon fittings all of the nerfing will make sense.
4. Aiming. Honestly, everything feels alien to me. The whole game felt different, they I move, the way things look, and the aiming. Feels like a new pair of tightywhiteys, once I wear it for a week without washing it will conform to my features.
5. Maps and framerate. Nice try but no cigar guys. This is bad, I cannot sugarcoat this no matter how hard I try, and believe me, I am seriously, trying to give you the benefit of the doubt. You said you reworked the maps, you didn't say you fixed them and I should have understood that. Maps got reworked and a whole new set of bugs to fix. One bug remained, the one where framerate goes crazy and I can't even play.
To sum up, I like it! I will need to get used to a few things but I am enjoying myself and so are the other 5k players that still play. A few points to make. Why have beta test if you don't test anything on it? You guys could have tested this stuff to make sure it works, but you used the test server? So instead you drop a bunch of untested stuff on us and expected us to love it. For future refernce, test this stuff with gamers first. Unless this weeknwas the final test and you are pulling all nighters to get it right.
Anyway, hope the feedback helped. Remember to test stuff before launching it. |

HMG nerf was well deserved. It was ridiculous that I could practically stuff my assault rifle up an oblivious Heavy's rear, unload a magazine before he even turned around, almost finish reloading and then he shreds me in three hits.
I don't care how "Heavy" or "Tank" anyone thinks these guys should be, but what they could take was not well balanced with what they could dish out. |

you walked up to a heavy well within his preferred range. proceeded to unload a full mag into him while he turn around not doing anything to take advantage of his slow turn speed or support from friends to take on something twice your size and half your speed. not to mention you didn't use the headshot bonus at all when you should have had a easy shot on it. Now i assume this last one because if you had a proto gun and it didn't kill him then it means he was in a well tanked proto suit but if you had taken the headshot then you could have easily finished him off. assuming your lack of post is a sign of your lack of sp and you weren't upto proto level then the same things applies if you were both using advanced then you should have taken the headshot if you were using a higher tier than him then you must have missed every shot if he had a higher tier than you then that was simply a misjudgement on your call that should be expected when facing any thing of a higher tier. |
