Im gonna go quickly because tbh I dont care enough anymore to put a lot of effort forth.
last man standing good idea. Could be done better. Probably should be limited to either only can be activated once per game, or only can be activated after reinforcements. That being said it seems like it doesnt do that much in its current state from what ive heard.
perk buffs increase in damage perk effectiveness only makes build variety even less appealing because now you are at a greater disadvantage for not using them. Same mentality applied to health/damresist
Ft weapons/gear new weapon is cool. Though it feels like it takes the ak’s thunder because it has nowhere else to go. Thats what happens when you only release assault rifles illfonic. Gear is good. Anti cloak nades prevent that stupid handheld bs, self revives help non premades have more impact, and uav… Well i havent used it yet but pre patch the minimap showed enemies as they spawned already. So unless they nerfed that seems pointless.
All of this counterplay though and stealth for pred is still ass. Means that at higher levels with all this new gear ft is gonna be all the more oppressive. Also pred needs more gear too. Like a lot. The amount of gear variety is pitiful.
pred masks two of these are way bigger than any pred head currently. Likely will be used on super preds later down the line. Just wanted to let that sink in for you.
final thoughts
Somewhere along the road oldking said that this patch was gonna be a step in the right direction. Partially its true, but it also feels like 2 steps back. The reality is in practice most of the gameplay is the same if not worse because the ttk is far faster. Which isnt necessarily a bad thing its just that the game really struggles to support its own weird design choices and it shows.
