Im really happy with all of those. Server browser is quicker, no more invisible walls, carpet bombs got a much needed huge nerf, emp stick is in the correct slot now, C4 car can go over small objects (this was incredibly annoying), and GLs got a much needed boost.

From a gameplay perspective, im happy with just about every change. Cant really think of anything they missed to be honest.

Of course VOIP is still lacking, but im hopeful itll be in a patch very quickly.

No mention of any changes to the assault rifles, unfortunately.

The WC assault rifle isn't as good as the RS one.

I agree with almost everything. Nice work!

They still need to make that RC car drone easier to kill though.

They didn't mention general physics collision or the crazy bouncing.

That's what I was trying to remember, uneven ground really messed you up, while trying to shoot.
