i played last night
here are my questions / thoughts (sorry if this has been covered)
bloom: on the screen the reticule still "blooms" and when i fired off a bunch of rounds from the Magnum, there was a 'spread' on the wall... it's not as if each round went atop the other. so bloom has just been toned down a bit??
damage: i mostly used the pistol and it seems that i can kill in 4 shots now (3 to drop shields and 1 to the head) is this right??? cause i swear someone yesterday pwned me with just 3 shots and i was pretty sure i was at full health / shields.
either way, i like that the Magnum is more powerful. stopped a few Sprinters looking to melee in their tracks - felt boss.
no sword block: this saddens me a bit. i always thought that killing someone wielding the sword by blocking them and head shotting them was worthy of a freaking medal, not something to be removed.
i understand the argument that it is a power weapon that shouldn't be able to be blocked.. i just disagree with that is all. the combo of Sprint & Sword was just kinda over the top IMO and Sword block balanced this.
didn't have any run ins with Armor Lock users, but i sure look forward to lobbing some stickies in their direction.
overall: me likes the TU - keep up the good work 343!!
