So far i'm liking 1.2. The game feels a lot smoother, and the new options added are nice.
List of pros
Hmg can hit from a distance now, not doing much damage but can scare an enemy off.
Snowy maps are really cool. Wish it fell from the sky though.
Logout option is very convenient.
Frames per second seems to be 30 or more at times.
Aiming is much smoother.
market looks different but in a good way.
Lav's are slower so av has more time to react.
New performance options are nice to have.
AV now shows how much direct hit damage it does.
Splash damage seems fixed. Maybe some MD user can confirm.
texture loading time is improved.
Headshot noise is cool. Can be loud, i believe turning music volume down will make it better.
Cons
Shield recharger new module thing requires no skills?
Saga II is miles better than Sega I and requires no skills and is cheaper.
Shields are still better than armour, new armour mods quite useless.
Matchmaking is still bad. You're either dominating or getting wrecked
The better hit detection gives scouts an even harder time to move.
Close quarters combat is still a little iffy. But better than it was before.
Still don't have all the racial suits, maybe next update?
Still some minor bugs, including getting Dc'd.
LAV's are still a problem.
Caldari Logi still rules supreme on the battlefield
All in all a pretty solid update. New feature like the logout and the performance tuning are nice. Items needing balancing is still an issue, Shields are still better than armour instead of being around the same and making it more of a personal choice not an obvious one. New ranges are really cool. i give this update an 8.5 out of ten |

Their meaning is exactly opposite of each other.
Fixed. My apologies. |

I can confirm that it is MUCH better now. Closest to Chromosome since, well, Chromosome, lol. I still have the occasional flux and MD round not register, but it has been few and far between. VERY pleased with 1.2 so far. A few of us commented that the game is just plain fun again. Also, I turned down the Effects in my settings and the FPS is holding quite steady. This update is a giant step in the right direction, but we still have a ways to go.
Great. glad to hear it :)
Glad to see some are liking the game more (: |
