More centrally located datacenter such as Chicago or Dallas would be of great benefit to the majority of the NA competitive community, as well as the community at large.

Both the plasma gun and the NJ5-B are weaker dps wise then the guns raider currently has (based off video), but make up for it by being easier to use. Cluster grenade is the main thing that has me worried. But we should just see how they play out first. _________________

For a being a staged video, the Jackal proved to be just powerful as they promoted it to be. A weapon designed to do one thing, but did something else far better then its primary function. This time around its going to be a high speed spin fusor, with a higher rate of fire. Did we want a way to better enable MAs? yes. Did we want it to be solely in the hands of a class that already excels at dueling?

In addition, you can tell a lot from a video: damage numbers, projectile speed, splash radius, rate of fire, etc. All signs point towards ridiculously OP.

I don't usually rage out at patch notes, but seriously.

What the HELL IS GOING ON. Let's give lots of SERIOUS Love to one of (if not THE) strongest classes already dominating, whilst leaving the Brute drowning in it's own blood and faeces?

REALLY?
