Like Caluke said, if you're here to complain, then nobody cares, so don't even bother. This update has been made, and they're not gonna take it back just because a few idiots decided to whinge in a post.
Personally, i'm quite interested in the update. The only downfalls that I've found personally is the removal of Rocket Race. This was my favourite playlist, and although I've heard it can be found in Multi-Team, i've yet to find it, so i'll assume it's rather rare. I'll be very sad to see it go, and hope perhaps it might return as it's own playlist on a double exp.
The second complaint is that the global rating is no longer shown in a game. In order to see the ability of the players, you have quickly cycle through all the service records. I would have preferred to have seen the global rating as well as the playlist rating, since it partly gives players the feeling that all they worked for have been diminished slightly, since hardly as many people will see their rank.
On the plus side though, I love this new playlist progression (although it should come into it's own a little more once the majority of players can pass the earlier stages), and I love the achievements! Having already had the Katana before TU2, i'd be a little gutted if it is still just getting 1000G, seeing as the new achievements are ridiculously easy, for the most part, and provide a much higher Gamerscore boost than the harder original ones.
Overall, apart from the loss of Rocket Race, I'm quite happy with the update, and very much look forward to the Mythic Maps! I'll be buying them within the first day or two, methinks.
