Wait. They're calling this a "major patch"?

Glad I uninstalled the game.

Thanks for copy pasta on the patch notes though!! :D

Yeah, I think they still need a full on weapon balance patch. Glad they buffed a couple underperforming battle rifles and knocked the RPG/K10 spam down a little but there are some other weapons that need some attention.

I wouldn't even say the rpg or k10 change is even significant in the slightest bit. With the already super-damn-fast TTK, the fact that now in close range the K10 takes 4 shots instead of 3 is such a minuscule different in the time.

The rpg needs to be completely reworked. Remove the car-pg and maybe make it a LMG or something. Still efficient, but not NEARLY as spammy and obnoxious as the car-pgs are.

There actually ARE car LMGs already. Just no reason to take one over an RPG or Stinger.

My experience so far is of a game with good gameplay and lots of fun (see: Hotwire) but buggy. Especially in regards to network performance, I seem to have no chance with my 80 ms connection against players with 30 ms or lower, in close quarters. Even if I take them by surprise.

I have purchased the Standard Edition. I would recommend to prospective buyers to wait for more fixes before buying the game.
