    i am liking this game a lot more now. 2 awesome things stand out for me:

    -bots to replace quitters

    - a warzone-only playlist

    Amazingly 2-piecing never really bothered me, but at least i don't have to watch my teammate flail around hoping to land a melee in sudden death while i cringe and facepalm.

    So after 3 updates, i feel they sorta hit the spot... almost, maybe

    ...


    whatever surely it is better than before!! right?!

    I think it is the very essence of win.

    I won't play 'till later tonight.  So far I like the changes that I've heard of.  Mainly, I'm glad they're making two piecing harder, and have gotten rid of the old ranking system.

    Having bots replace quitters is an excellent idea.

    Yeah it really is, in a game of guardian today 2 of my team quit during the second round and i didn't even notice... lol What they lack in the brains department they make up for by being ridiculously accurate and fast.

    Lag is still very annoying and accompanies many matches.

    1. Smokes are brilliant, what they always should have been
    2. Bots are good
    3. Country preference seems broken, but will reserve judgement for TU3 to populate
    Overall though, the whole experience is starting to feel tacked on. Like you can't see what your experience gain was in the game stats after a match, or in your stats at the end of a round. Just in the achievement tracker window in the corner at the end. 

    They need to look at this from the top down again and figure out what's important.

    Yeah the bots are nice, but the lobby system is still a mess and I feel that the kill radius of the chainsaw is too wide now.

    The bots kick ass in multiplayer, surprisingly. Often times they will do better than half of the team.

    The chainsaw is still broken. The animations are still sloppy. There are still concussive smoke grenades (massive, epic, game-breaking FAIL).

    But the update goes a long way towards fixing this broken game. It's too bad we'll probably have to wait another 6 months and go through 4 more updates before it's where it should have been at launch.
