The servers will be going down soon for a pretty big update, including the new single resource system, directives, and a bunch of other shit I haven't actually read yet. The patch notes are long enough on their own, so here they are to speak for themselves: https://forums.station.sony.com/ps2/index.php?threads/update-notes-8-5.196032/

pretty stoked on the splash dmg nerf to rockets :)

Hate it, completely and utterly hate it!

The resource Revamp current implementation is half baked…. I want brownies, not just the brownie mix!

I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt because of patch day mishaps that will be hot fixed later in the week and the fact that my first experience with the update was a poor one faced off against a NC zerg in a uphill battle, but the continuous trend of announcing some big revamp update - Adding in only 1/4 of the update (1/2 if we're really lucky) - then never seeing anything else of that update can only be tolerated for so long.

Still waiting for the MAX Flamethrower, The excuse for withholding flamethrowers was that the game needed to be optimized because the flame effects caused server instability…. The game's already been through OMFG Optimization, They have no excuse left for not adding that in.

- The Directives system is nothing new, They just took the old Auraxium system and declared it a official achievement that gives you a Aesthetic option.

- New Resources are a half baked Update, Where are the ANT' w/ individual facility Nanite resource pools to balance out vehicle spam?

- New Explosives system has been added to counter the vehicle spam, The result is vehicles are being destroyed at a ridiculously fast rate that it becomes unreasonable to even spawn something like a Gal or a Sunderer.

Granted ground-vehicles already had a limited impact in the battle with infantry only walled off zones to the objective, But now they can't even enjoy field battles because of the speed at which they can now die at.

- Aircraft got shafted with the update to AA like the Walker velocity buff that's now akin to the late Prowler Rail gun buff early in the games history.

I'm done giving PS2 excuses. It's heavily focused on Infantry orientation now with no concern or respect to combined arms. Combined Arms does does not serve relevance and can not justifiably be claimed to exist in this game.

Uninstalled and canceled my sub, I'll revisit the game at a later date.

Just a little info on the resources they aren't finished they even stated that the next Half should be within the next update.

Directives are just achievements with rewards.

And holy shit are there vehicle battles everywhere now all they need to do is strip tje continents of 35-40 bases each well more like 10-25 and that will be fleshed out more.

Besides no game other than battlefield 2 has done combined arms well in regards to the vehicle and infantry relationship

At one point recently higby or Malorn said that the ant won't be a thing
