GU10

The health bar change is the saddest for me. I liked watching Engi repairing vehicles so I could determine if my AV turret was getting closer to a kill or further away, basically seeing if I was about damaging however many engies were repairing. Also picking out the most hurt tank in a zerg to finish it off. Just damaging them and letting them retreat into cover to repair sucks. Concentrating fire and getting actual kills is the only way to blunt the flood.

 

Good patch, great updates for alerts and sundy deploy radius. More fights at major facilities.

As for the air, I cant wait for changes. They will probably raise the ceiling up to like 1200 meters as well. If that happens, air fights will become more fun. Massive dogfights would be interesting too. Teamwork, focus fire and stuff like that.

 

Is it really that bad on the other servers?
Yes this is a serious question, I just never felt the need to roll a toon on another server.

 

Except that player/vehicle health is still going to be broadcast to everyone within render distance anyway, the only difference is that the bar won't appear beyond 10m

 

Perhaps it isn't on all other servers, but of the handful I've visited (Waterson, Woodman, Miller), yes, the players are terrible.

 

To block snipers from shooting just the wounded: 1 bullet, 1 kill.....

 

Decoy gals are going to be more valuable now. They should have made it so infiltrators weren't effected by this 10m thing. Give em more use.

 

An infiltrator's job is not to snipe, an infiltrator's job is to wreak havoc among the enemy by hacking terminals and turrets. This will encourage more SMG Cloakers, for sure.

 

I think this is pertinent in that, well, everything shoots out of the camera now. That includes mags, so if you can see it, you can shoot it. Reaver offset got fixed, mags can now shoot from behind rocks now, woohoo. Ironically, if you are standing directly in front of the barrel, you're less likely to actually get gibbed by a tank now.
