Not a change, you hit the threshold to start your way up again.

Well crap.
I thought that wasn't untill 2500 or so.
Oooooooooo Kaaaaaaaaaayy.

A while back, Trick mentioned that he had a team rebalancing all of the weapons.* Was Patch 1.05 the whole balance patch, or are there numerical tweaks to less-used weapons still on the table? If so, how is that going?

* Footnote: For simplicity's sake, I omit the fact that he admitted that the BMG will be handled separately, because of its complexity.

I am super pumped about 'Spikes' and 'Stims'

Will, we see additions, or changes to perks and rolls to incorporate stims and spikes.

Sorry if its already been asked and/or answered.

What's being done with the suggestions?

I wish they weren't putting them in. It is content that is so not needed. I think its wasted content.

Same here.
Looks to be more gimmick than content.

Agreed...

Stims and Spikes....last thing this game needs.


Im all for cool ideas and new stuff....but those seem boring, stale, old and useless.....

I would take ONE, yes ONE, new co-op map over these "game changing items"

This Spikes & Stims idea is right up there on the list: Stupid Crap This Game Did Not Need But We're Adding Instead of Actual Content; with the grenade mechanic change.

I agree new co-op maps would be awesome, and story missions. Particularly bio-men based story, a good bio-men.

But when I do get to play through new content, I would very much enjoy, playing it with new game play elements.

Any new co-op or story content will most likely not differ to much from the current formula, so I welcome these.

Not to mention, they add something I felt was missing from an MMO style game, group buffs. It will make playing in a group more fun, as you can organize who takes what spikes.

Additional Question

Will spikes all be the same colour, as we have only seen white.

I feel different colours, would make quick identification during hectic gun fights easier.

Firstly, Trick, as creative director, i think you did a really good job with creating unique weapons.
three questions
1. does the volge Battle Rifle count for explosive kills? i have a friend that has a rifle with 25% speed boost on explosive kill which got me thinking about the shock trooper perk (chance for +30% of clip reloaded instantly on explosive kill)?
2. can you bring back plague sieges for Halloween?
3. can you change grenade recharge on kill to increased chance for grenade drop for x second on kill when the grenade changes come, and how will the consumable system work in pvp
