Since the TU, I've been noticing that weapons like the DMR and grenades are even MORE powerful now. Shield strength and/or health has gone down, and now you can be killed with shots from the DMR BEFORE your shields pop.
It used to be 4 shots to take out shields, and a headshot to kill.
NOW it takes 4-5 (it seems random most of the time) shots to kill, not just to take the shields out. The last bullet takes out shields AND kills you if it was a headshot. I find this to be a very annoying thing because it completely changes the way the game is played.
You used to know when your shields were out by paying attention to your HUD AND listening for the beeping. Now, you don't have that luxury. Now the chances of dying before your shields pop goes way up, and you have to totally reconsider/reprogram your situational awareness.
This has also made grenade spam even MORE prevalent. People are noticing that grenades can kill EVEN IF your shields are a little over half. There have been countless times where I had 3/4+ shield strength with full health, to be blown away by 1 grenade. That's just sad.
Has anyone else noticed this and/or annoyed by it? It dramatically changes the flow of the game (in my opinion).
