Infiltrator Stuff:infiltrator has a auto sniper rifle, just point and hold the trigger. NS Sniper rifle not shown yet New recon device with similar effects but lasts longer. Adrenaline pump for sprint increase on infil. stalker cloak doesn't drain charge while still, rather it charges to allow yourself to remained cloaked (makes me think of ghosts in mario that run while you look away) ESF Stuff:ESF Coyote nerf: the blast radius is reduced drastically, will have to see how much harder it makes it on infantry (saw that coming) 33% loss in damage blast and 66% radius reduced of blast Hornets increase speed by 25% Racer Chasis on ESF is faster Boost Buff:Heroic/Alpha boost has 5% xp increase per user in your squad with it equipped Oh, and on the live server the personal cache for WDS gives you camo/weapons/more for personal contribution to territory capture (Effective as I speak)

Reddit has a great breakdown on the new sniper rifles, but I can't find that thread. Great changes for the ESF stuff, I'll need to test the hornets. 25% seems a bit much, but they definitely need a buff. edit: Found it.

Wow. Sounds like our sniper rifle is a bit of a waste. Less of a sniper rifle more of a CR.
There is a crossbow though?
Better start making a punisher decal. Cash in.

I'm glad that when they post weapon changes it's silly numerical values 'Recoil has been increased by .02' or some similar shit.
When it's speed changes to the speed chassis on the ESF... Go fuck yourself and play test it.

And I'm still not convinced they have a physics model or rendering situation that makes speed anything but a liability in this game. It would be nice if they did, though. An easy method of dogfighting for rookies would be racer frames, coyotes, and locusts, if speed were a viable defense - which it isn't currently.

The NC bolt driver sounds like we're going to have a really bad time, according to Reddit.

Was gunna say, speed is not armor. Speed is a liability in Planetside. Your ability to rapidly cause any change in direction, either in deg/s or m/s is more of a defense than anything else. You can't normally peel out in time to get out. Sharp stops (airbrake) and rapid turns do more to save your ass than anything else. Acceleration is god more or less. Otherwise?
