EDIT: well went to pts and i dont see any diference on pve, hope stays that way

so in summary, no, blast rifle didn't get nerfed--- but the boring nonstop-every-day bunnyhopping blast rifle tactic is now out the window.

(note: about 50% of players are affected by an over-shakescreen effect, where blast rifle causes a stacking shakescreen and resulting in framerate drop)

all the weapon changes (except carbine recoil) are buffs.

this opens up pvp to a LOT more options. melee is now a force to be reckoned with-- if you're not actively looking for an escape route while you pvp, a melee user will rustle your jimmies. better restock on nades every round.

you're gonna have to be wary around corners-- a crit-pistol user will bust your head in a jiffy, and there's gonna be a lot more hallways for det users to lay traps on.

beware open space too, whoever gets in cerberus will be like juggernauts on the patrol.

the closest thing you're gonna get to bunnyhop-shooting is to bring a shotgun and use jumping for dodging but being planted on the ground when shooting.

for general dodging you're prolly also gonna need to learn to use that crouch button, old-school FPS style.

i know the pvp crowd has seen me practicing my crouch-n-strafe bobbin-n-weavin... it's the ultimate jukin'. fancy footwork. work it.

arent they dropping the crit multi down to 1% . that should put snipers and pulsars in their place
