So currently a lot of players are leaving. I can't blame them the game is nowhere near perfect.

1.3 is small, but brings good Changes

1.4 needs to have a lot of good things in it. Time for me to list them

Perfect aiming. I mean perfect none of this in between/half assed. Perfect! I know there working on it as seen Here

New content. That's pretty vague eh? People just throw around the word "Content" and expect everybody to know what kind. After playing the game and being on the forums for quite some time, i know what people are thinking. Heres what people want when they say the word content.

New maps. For god sakes please! 5 more would be heaven. Even 2 or 3 more would be awesome. Don't get me wrong, i like the maps they're fun, and the idea of different variations is awesome thats a pretty new concept for an FPS game, at least for me. I have heard there's a new one coming

New weapons. The more the merrier when it comes to guns. I want at least 3 new kinds of guns in 1.4. That would be plenty. Even 1 more would be great. I don't have a clue about this

More racial suits. Come one no heavy love? Give the heavies and scouts there racial variants, at least 2 new heavy suits and one or both of the Scouts. Or while you're at it add them all in that would be amazing. I have heard there is the Minnie Heavy but there's nothing solid

New game modes. Something new and refreshing instead of Simple Team Deathmatch, and capture the objective

Armour vs shield balancing. This needs to be fixed. It's crazy how shields have no penalty while armour gets a 10% movement penalty (Complex module) Something needs to be changed. Armour just doesn't compare. Sure you can have way more armour, but then your slow as a rock, and it doesn't come back when it get's hit. Work slowly here let's reduce the penalty on allt plates down to 3% and increase (slightly) the total health given by Adv and Proto Plates

Vehicle balance. Tanks in their current state kinda suck. Way too easy for Anti vehicle personal to take down a tank. Proto AV vs a standard tank? Not a good combo.
If the new Collision mechanics mean i don't get ran over, or makes it a lot harder to get ran over, i'm all for it! Wolfman will fix these like the Mass Drivers (Wolfman replaced Blam!)

Better matchmaking, I hope CCP Wolfman? I think it is, makes it really good. I don't wanna get stomped, but i also don't want to stomp. I want close down to the wire games, at least 80% of the time. Even with match making 50% it'll be hard

More incentive to stay as a new player. Of course making the game smooth and the best it could be is great, but if you can have no chance of catching up to the Sp the "Elite" players have, thats discouraging.

Get rid of the SP cap. There is almost 0 reason to play after you hit the cap. We need a new way to play and always earn A good amount of SP every game Only Eliminate it for >10 mill SP players

Basically 1.4 has to be really game changing, and i know it is absurd to ask for all these things, and expect them all. But at least half or more of the things i mentioned would be really really nice.
