NEW Hotfix is amazing!

Post » Thu Dec 31, 2009 2:11 pm

Hey,

After hearing about the new hotfix I jumped onto the MP to test out the weapons. The new changes are fantastic! I was using the K-Volt and mk60 and they are really effective weapons now. It's made me want to play the game again knowing that I have a wider variety of weapons.

I've noticed now that seeing as the Frag Grenades have had their damage increased I'm getting killed a lot more by them on almost every game mode but it's a small price to pay to what we've gained.

I know some people have whined in the Weapon Balances thread by Cry-Adam saying that the K-Volt and MK 60 were powerful enough but I don't think so. The K-Volt now does a decent amount of damage but not as good as Feline, which is fine, and MK60 has now appropriate recoil. They both have the disadvantage of having no silencer which balances them with the other weapons. I have played with 6 of my Xbox friends and they have all loved the changes except for the grenades.

Great Work! Looking forward to the new patch and DLC!

Regards

TB

The MK60 is now beast!

Had to play my party members because how the game splits up parties and went 22-8, which is good considering I have no silencer and they have all rebooted once so there not noob players. They are very good in fact. If I can do that against them it will be devastating against the casual gamers you come across 90% of the time. Went 19-3 on City Wall with K-Volt, this would have never happened before the hotfix, I usually got gunned down while firing at someone.

Other than the grenades I didn't like being strengthened, the Maximum Nanosuit killsuit has been nerfed A LOT. I only played for a bit so I got it only twice, but each time I got killed by ONE person. I was not being hit by multiple people or anything. Before the hotfix I could be shot at by 2-3 people at the same time and could survive barely, but when one person can easily kill me if my back is turned to him is a big turn off. I used to look forward to getting the nanosuit but IMO a Maximum Radar is now more valuable, I'm not overexaggerating, I really would prefer a radar over this killstreak now. Funny they nerfed this as I cannot remember anyone complaining about this, at least in any recent thread in Xbox forum. Before I used to avoid someone who had the Maximum Nanosuit, but oh well what can you do.

But overall, I think the hotfix was great, despite the grenades, L-Tag and Maximum Nanosuit which I don't like what's been done.

Glad they nerfed the suit but that svcks if they made it as weak as you make it sounds. I always liked the mk60 I just couldn't get passed the mobility reduction over say.. the scarab. Bet it's like the easiest gun to fire now tho.

I've only played a few games since the hotfix but overall things do seem better, even had better connections than normal tonight!
I didn't get a max nanosuit but I don't like the sound of it being nerfed...I thought the whole point of the highest killstreak reward was to make you a double hard b@stard!
I loved holding down a crash site all on my own in max nanosuit against 3 or 4 enemies...that was my reward for getting the killstreak!

I got the max suit earlier and I was thinking I got killed pretty easilly with it which is annoying because I find it ridiculously hard to get so when I do I want to kick some ass.

Hotfix: doesnt need the servers to go down to go into effect, no having to download it. happens while you play
Patch: You need to restart the game and install it while the servers go down temporarily.

So I've played a bit more tonight mostly on Crash Site and it's safe to say that the L-Tag & Grenades have become a real scourge. People don't bother with the objective anymore and sit 20 metres away spamming L-Tag grenades every 5 seconds into the Crash Site. I don't like it but it definitely makes it chaotic and dynamic lol

Had this guy go 30-10 with no CS points by just using an L-Tag all game spamming, Stupid.

Got the Maximum Nanosuit a few times again and must reiterate that it is now WORTHLESS. Don't get your hopes up about obtaining this killstreak, before I used to think "this will get me some kills, I can flush out a few enemies holed up in X" now I think of it more as a burden. It makes you think you're stronger than you are, trust you will GONE DOWN fast. I advise DO NOT try and take more than one-person head on with this ability unless you could have done it without the killstreak, it literally only keeps you alive for a couple of seconds longer than you would have.

Really really disappointed in this killstreak being nerfed, I liked it how it was and didn't mind if it was used against me. If you've got a 7 killstreak then you've deserved it, now it isn't worth anything. I only use it now for the 300 points it gives. If people thought it was OP, well it isn't, just runaway when you see someone with it. Now after the hotfix if you see someone with it, gun them down with a clip of your Feline. Trust me I've been killed a few times by just one clip.

I agree 100%
This is the only killstreak that was worth it..
after people found out the Ceph gunship can be taken down so easily. (3 sniper shots)
Was being the key word.
