Even though CCP failed hard in the balance department, I have some nice things to say about the game now.
My first match was a snow match, which is awesome, because I f'ing love snow. I noticed that because of the mood the map was very dark, and I will talk about why I loved it later.
First thing I did was call in an LAV, and man that was quick! 3 seconds after I called it in, I had an LAV to drive around in. I also noticed the women's voice didn't say "ETA, 15 seconds", I guess it's a good thing they removed that.
First thing I did was push R2, which turned the camera around, and I thought "well, that's weird". Something changed in the controls in Uprising 1.2, I had to go to the settings and change it back to what it was.
So I was driving around, and I noticed "wait, this is smooth. Is this running on a stable 30FPS? No way...", but it is! It felt so great that I did some loops on the ground as a little victory dance.
Once I got out of the LAV, I thought "hmmm, I wonder how I can test the new range". So I saw a blaster turret far far away, almost couldn't see it, and I took a shot at it with my Duvolle AR. And it hit! I was amazed, no more disappearing bullets!
I went ahead and hacked a blaster turret, and then went to a dark spot and put an uplink in it. I noticed that the radial menu worked much better, heck I could do quick switches that before would confuse it. I saw an enemy go hacking the blaster turret, and I shot him in the head. The new headshot music scared the hell out of me lol
I went to capture the CRU, and had a firefight. First thing I noticed is "wow, now that it's running on a stable 30FPS, the controls actually feel good!". I had no problem aiming.
Put down an uplink near the CRU, and waited for an enemy to spawn before I start hacking, in case there is one coming right away. And there was, I killed the proto caldari scum and went ahead on hacking.
After that I helped in a firefight to take a control point (I forgot which it was), and I repped some people. The rep effect looked nice, so that's a plus :)
So I want outside and felt relieved. I felt relieved because I finally saw some light. The darkness in the complex I was in was unsetteling, I felt like there are enemies everywhere and I couldn't see them. I moved in the shadows to keep myself hidden.
Once I was outside I noticed there was a fight for a bridge. I went there, put a nanohive down for my team mates who were fighting there for a while, and started helping. My team got obliderated, only I was left alone to fend off 3 proto Caldari. Now that the aiming felt right, I could actually have a chance to fend them off, I killed one, heavily wounded the other to make him go into cover and ran away under the bridge. The non damaged one tried to get me, but I used the box under the bridge to give myself time to repair. After I was 75% repaired I faced him and managed to get headshots thanks to the aiming feeling right. I went on and confronted the last guy, who forgot about me so I had an easy kill.
My team mates came back and captured the bridge, I repaired some people, gave them some ammo, and moved on to the last objective.
That fight was a bloody mess, I barely got out with 20 HP on my armor (out of 530). But we got the control point, just barely.
The match ended with me going 14/0 and my team winning a crushing victory. (Our MCC shields weren't even close to be down)
Overall, this game feels more fluid, better, and FUN. That's right, FUN. Something I didn't have in this game for a looooong time.
My favorite part was how dark the complex was, so I used the shadows to do sneak attacks on enemies. |

Yeah, they really got the game back to a point that is both playable and fun (like you just said)
I know us armour users got the short end, and commandos seem pretty week but overall itis a really good patch that did so many things right. |

The good thing about patches like this is: With every thing fixed there's more time left do work on the remaining issues.
Looking forward to 1.3
And i like that they did indeed choose option 3 for the death screen call for help mechanic. |

Good to hear the game feels better!
Sad to hear the nice lady no longer says "ETA - 15 Seconds".. I think it contributed to the whole futuristic feel :( |

Guys, I'm glad to see the positive feedback. A lot of the issues with aiming people have been having we've actually discovered are related to game performance issues (such as the frame rate improvements Cat Merc reports). We're working on correcting those and have some other fixes coming in the future that should improve them even further that should make the game play a lot better.
