I'm cautiously pessimistic here.
I don't want the game to be an easy one man shooter, where we land and everyone runs off in different directions.
The biggest thing I enjoy about the game is the teamwork. When the game was new I found a group to play with and we each assigned roles, one guy was using the spear, I was MG, we had a flamethrower, and an auto cannon. We just kept doing harder and harder missions, and the first time we ganged together to kill a bile titan was a truly epic moment in gaming. we were all yelling and celebrating.
Then we increased difficulty and dove again, and again, and again...
The fun part was the teamwork, I don't want to lose that. I'll never kill a bile titan for the first time again, but stealing that terminid egg from a L10 nest was pretty damn fun too! And it required multiple divers to cover each other and close bug holes.
Me personally, if I'm using a flamethrower I want it to feel strong. Cause I'm only ever gonna fight bugs with it that are right next to me.
I'm feeling good about the update, and I'm getting a little hype about it. The armor changes they've talked about so far, it never made sense to me that you had to use a select few weapons to be able to take down a bile titan easily. I always felt like if I shot the stupid thing enough, it should die eventually, and that seems to be the approach they're taking.
Whether or they do a good job though, we'll have to see in about a week.
I played with the flamethrower last night and I think it changed my opinion, I just didn't have a good time, for whatever reason the game kept spawning chargers, there were literally 5 at once chasing me, which I've never seen happen.
I wasn't able to manage it with the flamethrower.
So I guess I feel more in favor of the buff, but my concern about the one man army still stands (I just want that good balance)
