Can infil suits no longer see the rest of us when their view is zoomed?

Bleh. Dumb.

Yeah, that is retarded.
You know what else is retarded? When an infiltrator is crouch-moving and barely visible to the enemy soldiers right next to him, only to be killed by the sniper because while looking through the sniper scope, infiltration suit glow like a neon sign. Now thats retarded.

if you do some hunting around on the *shudder* official forums you'll find that spork reworded that particurlar line somewhere else.

you CAN see infiltrators if you are zoomed. the difference is that now you are forced to live with all the rules of visibility as if you were looking at them normally. ya see, there was this bug where zooming in 'concentrated' (only word I can think of) all of the white predator-like glowyness you would see at normal non-zoomed range into a gigantic neon-white (stop laughing!) beacon of visibility. basically, if you zoomed in on an area and did a sweep with your scope you were 100% guaranteed to find any and all infiltrators regardless of their status of movement or activity. they could be standing perfectly still for 10 minutes with absolutely nothing around them and if you did one zoom-sweep they lit up like a christmas tree.

additionally, Agathon, please play as vanu for day or so. they ARE gimped. many Vanu are amazed by the fact that we weren't literally so gimped that our weapons all did stupid stuff like snare the enemy or mez them. yes, our weapons still do damage and are technically capable of killing people. they are not, however, balanced in any way, shape or form. the only thing I'm willing to even get close to grudgingly accepting balance on (even after this kick-to-the-nuts 'boost') is the lancer. howver, I still say it should lose the CoF bloom, lose the AI damage, lose the travel time and get down to the business of actually hurting some vehicles.

Said VS aren't skilled is all. I for one love the lasher, if you're smart and use it like it should be (mid to close range) you can kill a shitload of peeps.

Be nice if they said what was broke

I'm almost absolutely sure that refers to the cutoff between CR ranks being able to use command chat together. As it stands, command chat is fairly useless.

As far as I know, report goes to your rank and higher and that's how it's supposed to function - a "report" to the higher commanders.

They could also be referring to continent chat being flagged CR5 instead of CR4, though. You can only continent broadcast at CR5 now, when it's supposed to be 4.
