That being said, I have a few issues, not saying you guys choices were wrong, just looking for clarification.
First Auto Armor: I think I understand how you guys balanced this module. Its like ur body armor. If you choose to go with more offensive perks you loose some defense. I'm guessing the way it is implemented is to balance out some of the more offensive perks. In some play styles it is necessary. In others not so much. I like that it helps with campers and their ambushes cause I like to me mobile in my shooting games. I feel its like having a shieild in halo.It also deals with panic bow shots. (No sniper should be a one hit kill anywhere on the body and the bow is sniper class) Also for those who feel that they are skilled, you could always forgo auto armor and take more offensive perks, and let your skill make up for reduced defense. Honestly I only notice someone using auto armor when using a bow or shotgun.
Ok now the big one. Rapid fire and the Typhoon. Really?
Right now the typhoon is OP. I noticed that I can play sloppy and still do positive. Just run around and spray people. The speed and range it kills at, plus any element of suprise makes it nearly impossible to defend against this weapon. In typhoon on typhoon fights of players with equal skill, whoever shoots first from effective range will win every time.
I think a combination of how rapid fire works and the effective range of the weapon breaks it. I don't mind that it cannot be beat at it's intended range, its just that range should probably be shorted and the effect that rapid fire has on the gun should be lessened. In fact
I suggest that RAPID FIRE'S BONUS BE WEAPON SPECIFIC.
Balance it for each weapon specifically not a general increase across the board. Maybe you could design that the perk is useless or not very effective on the typhoon, so that would allow you to take a different perk and open up your options. You guys seem to want to do better by crysis 3 than crysis 2. Do SOMETHING about this as soon as possible. Don't end up like 343i and loose the benefit of the doubt from you fanbase, you got a good thing going! Fewer loyal fans are better than more flaky guys that will be done in three months.
TL;DR
Good Game overall, Auto Armor makes sense, even if people don't like how it works
The typhoon's range is a little ridiculous right now please do something about it.
Maybe certain offensive perks should be Balanced according to individual weapons and not across the board.(Rapid Fire)
Oh it would help if you guys had a weekly update or bulletin like Bunige used to do for halo, not like (343i)
