(paving the way for advanced targeting implant?)

Aye, I'm putting my money on this (even if implants don't make it till later). Rather ridiculous vs vehicles otherwise. If you're close enough to see its HP, you're probably equipped to kill it outright (C4, etc...) anyway.

I finally got used to the Reaver's offset, and now they change it Provided the actual projectiles look like they are still being fired by the weapon, I'm ok with it. Otherwise I'll be a little disappointed at the break in immersion, although I totally agree with the improvement to gunning.

Customisable squad colours is great news, too.

Nothing to address population issues on various servers. Can't really say I'm surprised.

The new Alerts are neat, I guess. Hopefully we get something a bit more substantial in an update soon. Bug fixes for things that were broken in previous GUs and changing an alert from continent control to base control? :\ Not too excited

Yeah, I have to agree - this seems pretty underwhelming.

[Shogun]

isn´t this an additional "in between" patch that wasn´t even sheduled?

all the big things are sheduled for the next update, so why are you whining?
this is just a little bonus patch with some small things that are ready for release, so we don´t have to wait for squadcolors till the next big update.

at least the nc will not have vs squads in their platoons anymore!

if the next big game update is also marginal, then you can start whining and screaming

I'm not really whining and screaming

The changes here look fine, just not particularly exciting.

About the most interesting thing from my PoV are the new weapon models - I'll be interested to see how they look now, and I definitely approve of them going back and trying to make weapons look better/more distinct.

The mass of copy-and-paste weapon models in the game currently make it look cheap, and discourage you from buying new guns - which can't be good for business

Bullets should come from the guns that fired them, not the aether.

People whining about not having exit/enter animations...his should make for a riot situation.

Aye they should. We should also have a centralized turret for the Prowler. I'll take what I can get
Personally I just think that these are placeholders for future model changes.

but how are the chances, you read it all by yourself?

[RANDOMpercent]

The only thing I don't like is the health bar range. It makes sense for infantry but not vehicles. It also messes with VR where you'd really like to see vehicle health to help decide what anti vehicle weapon you want.

[Fenrys]

Hopefully the vehicle health bar change will get more players to contribute to downing vehicles rather than ignoring them unless they have just a sliver of health left.
