    Yeah man, I'm right there with you. Fingers crossed!

    You can continue to earn Skill Points through events and challenges :) However, if you don't do that I have raised respeccing with the Dev team so I think it's something that's at least on their radar.

    Has any one else been getting the kill streak bug? It happens in about a third of my games.

    I get my kill streak support but it keeps telling me military support is still active even if it's the first support of the game.

    The only fix I found is dying and getting your streaks again. It's really annoying.

    Yeah it happens from time to time. Not a new bug either. It started a few months ago.

    Will we ever get any LMGs, the one in MC3 was a lot of fun to use, they could be put into Assault or Heavy.

    EDIT 1:I would also like an FOV slider, I hate not being able to see anyone 2m to my left.
    I find it very annoying how I have to press the fire button again when using the KR-200 which can sometimes throw off my aim, so I would like to be able to hold the button down and it would have a short delay between each 3 shots, having to take my finger off an missing always seems to cause my death. And it's impossible to use while moving as you can't turn while trying to shoot it.

    EDIT 2: All of the rocket launchers need to be buffed a lot, it seems that you need a direct headshot at point blank to kill someone, and at the same time that also kills you, so you get no points and you gain a death, their blast radius needs to be buffed too, I fired a crumplor rocket into the middle of a croup of three people, they were about 2m apart and I got no kills. Grenades also should not do damage to yourself, as when I get close to throw them, they do more damage to me even if I'm 5m away and it lands right next to their feet. I would also like to be able to have no scope on my sniper.

    EDIT 3: I also get many bugs where I'm playing and I am usually getting a good amount of points and then suddenly I get disconnected, when I have a perfectly fine connection and huge amounts of data. There is another bug that makes me hate this game more, where the screen freezes but I can still use the buttons and move around but my screen is stuck in the same place as before. Fix this now, it's extremely game breaking. And what's the deal with me always having to redownload the campaign, it happens 2-3 times a week and takes around an hour.

    Are you talking about the KR200 specifically? Because I can move and shoot at the same time.

    The Crumpler just got nerfed because people were abusing it.

    Same here. Known bugs that has not yet been addressed.

    Well, same here.

    This is a well known bug. Grenades SHOULD inflict self damage if you throw them too close to yourself but right now, you can commit suicide at random with the grenades.

    When is GL going to fix these bugs rather than make slight adjustments to weapons damages and add annoying pop-ups on the home screen?

    Got another great idea that GL missed, how about making the assault rifles damage drop off a lot, as I can be out sniped by someone using the RED when I am using a sniper and I begin shooting before they even see me. The snipers also need to made extremely accurate, Bullets don't come out of the barrel at a 40 degree angle. Man, this would make sniper so much better, aren't they supposed to be elite warriors that can literally take anyone out? Not wobbly idiots that miss every shot?

    EDIT: Assault rifles should also be extremely inaccurate at range, not futuristic laser weapons that can one hit.

    EDIT 2: Kills should count as 100 points towards unlocks, not like 10 or whatever it is. As sniping takes inhuman skills to get a decent amount of kills in this game, so all kills with anything should be changed to 100 points so that it doesn't take 10000 kills to unlock the last weapons. There should also be other attachments like laser sights and flashlights, stock attachments would also be nice.

    @dant bro - I am guessing you don't use assault class. But do use heavy and sniper.

    As so far you have basically said nerf assualt and buff heavy. If you aren't doing very well with heavy, switch to another class. May I recommend Recon? Probably the most fun class tbh.

    What we actually need is for no more Nerfing or buffing. As I, and Rip, said before, nerfing one gun leads another being powerful and then calls for that to be nerfed. That leads us on a nice downward spiral leading to the game becoming pointless.

    What we do need is all the bugs that are being found squashed. That would actually improve the game in itself.

    I've already requested no more nerfs to the Red and been told that in the short term no more are planned.

    The thing is, it's already too late. Three nerfs to it was two too many.
    It cannot compete with a heavy in close combat and in mid range, all a heavy has to do is rush you and it'll have enough hp left to win once you're in proper range.
    The snipers handgun is a better option than the now useless assault class.

    Which leads to the next problem. The sniper is the best option for long range (why anyone would want the already most accurate weapon in ADS even more accurate is just crazy unless they want hip fire to be more accurate which would be even more crazy and unbalanced than things are already), but even the sniper is useless when the heavy has rockets still.

    So ultimately the heavy is currently the only viable option as proved by all my recent games being utterly and completely dominated by the heavy class in every way. The Red is only a pea shooter in comparison and a lucky head shot is its only hope but less likely because it's hipfire bullet spread is all over the place now as well.

    But of course the heavy is already climbing up the nerfing charts so expect more of the same.
    Then the sniper handgun. And then the recon. Which will be a pity really as the recon has two good weapons and is very effective when used as an attack from behind class.

    And before some say that won't happen, everything I predicted about nerfing the red (and echoed and reinforced by Mess also) and what it would lead to class balance wise has already come to pass. It is inevitable that the rest will happen also.

    It's a pity really but all the nerfs have been enough to push me back to MC4. I like to know where I stand with a game weapon and not have to spend ages getting it only for it to be useless after another while and then have to relearn it again until it gets nerfed again.
    At least I know that's not going to happen anymore in MC4, despite all the ridiculous nerfing that went on in that in the early days as well.
    This nerfing rubbish is just a never ending cycle that I'm just not willing to waste my time with again so I'll sit it out for a few months and wait until development is finished on it.

    It's a bit ironic really because the Bad JuJu in Blitz Brigade was horrendously overpowered when it arrived in the game and that took several months to nerf whereas the Red which was never really over powered, it was just competitive against a strong Heavy class, yet it's already nerfed three times.
    I can think of nothing good to say about this nerfing situation because it'll just never end now.
    Buffing the start weapons would have been the better course of action. And fixing that bloody suicide grenade bug.

    Well maybe one good thing. MC4 is awesome fun now and has no hackers. The pacing in game is excellent and all its strong points are even more evident now that it won't be messed around with or tweaked going forward.

    I have had a lot of people tell me that I should try the other classes, but the thing is, I already have. I've maxed the assault and recon classes (apart from the skill points) and all I'm trying to do now is max the other two classes, which might take a while now, as you've said that there will be no more needing or buffing. The reason I think sniper is so weak at range is the RED. It's too easy to use, just point were you want to shoot and there are 30 or so bullets over there in a few seconds, and anyone standing there will be dead.

    Also when's that new map coming out?

    Does 30 or so bullets seem like a fair amount or an overpowered weapon when a heavy can do it 2? Maybe 3 to 4 at higher range. Or an ADS sniper with the right weapon (against a non heavy) in 1?
    Not in my book it doesn't.
    Anyway the second last Recon fires at a substantially higher rate.
    And is actually a far more effective weapon than the red is now.
    The range and damage on the Red has already been nerfed and the bullet spread increased to such an extent that it is a waste of time even considering putting skill points in to assault class.
    Recon is a far better option at this stage and if the right muzzle attachment is on either of the last two guns, it'll outrange and exceed accuracy with lower spread than the Red right now.
    It was an utter waste of skill points putting them in the assault class. I even fear mentioning recon because I've little doubt once people realise it's effectiveness, it'll end up on the chopping block as well with people putting in more nerf requests.
    It's simply an endless spiral that will lead nowhere except to having to pump full magazines into enemies which is not the point of this type of game at all.

    I like the balance of the game now, and I still use Assault much more than Heavy and Recon (I like the Sniper class, but never bothered after my reset because there's only enough skill points to max out 3 classes). I see all 4 classes regularly in most games that I play and the Red is fine against them all. I actually didn't even notice the last nerf.

    Not sure if I attached the picture correctly, but a popup says something big is coming at midnight on Halloween. Hopefully it's the update.

    Edit: Here it is.

    When I click the button, it just brings me to an active event, which is not encouraging.

    Maybe it's a surprise bug fix...

    Or maybe it's just dumb* Halloween masks for the weekend.

    *OT but really don't understand Halloween. "I have dressed up. Give me chocolate" just doesn't compute with me. Why not just buy a bag of sweets down the shops and save yourself a load of money and hassle.
