It's a good game, and despite complaints people have had regarding balance issues, Arrowhead do seem to be doing things well (if slowly).

The only complaint I have after the recent balance changes is that the number of heavies seems at odds with the nerfs. Quasar was too strong, but the extra 5 seconds added to the cooldown means it has about 20-25 seconds between each shot. That's near EAT calldown levels of slow

In terms of balance it does make sense tho, it was overshadowing EAT too much. Now it's more in line with it, it has better overall sustain and reliability but a smaller burst (1 every 30 vs 2 every 60). Also works with stratagem jammers,so it might be better for bots while EATs are for bugs.
