By 'preliminary patch' do you mean there's another patch that's waiting to be completed, which contains all the important but not yet finished balance updates?

Odd how there's no video and the update was rolled out so quickly after the preliminary patch notes, has it been released too early, for some reasons?

I really hope they are planning for another patch quickly.

Don't get me wrong I love the tech and the new weapons etc and can't wait to try them out but we need more fixes!

I want to see the nitro nerf fly out of the window with same speed as most soldiers can cap atm. Don't know about the rage buff. On the other hand it will make phase snipers bascily get laser assault rifles and on the other hand it gives more adge to the chasers who happend to use rage.

Don't really knoe about that as I don't play chaser that much. Normally tech, brute and inf.

But so many fixes are missing that really are needed, so I am hoping for a fast patch to fix the game after this. ^^
