Why assault players don't want XBox updates anymore.

if uber does anything wrong, it is explianing nerfs/buffs in such a way that makes them hard to figure out.

both bomb AND charge regenerate slower than they used to.

Well charge says "increased" and bomb says "reduced" ... those words are complete opposites. Reduced cooldown time means that the skill takes less time to come back. It's not that they made it hard to figure out, it's that they used the wrong word.

i guess they did make the regen quicker, in a way. still, my previous statement stands.

Assault Charge regens slower
Assault Bomb regens faster, but will not regen at all if you have an active bomb lying somewhere

Here is my gameplay vid of the Assault post-nerf if anyone is interested.

I was interested, but I couldn't bear finishing it.

I'd rather the bomb cooldown stay the same as before, or even get nerfed a little, ON TOP of the no cooldown when a bomb is out.

I had a skill endorsement as well, making my recharge times faster.

NOOOOOOOOO! assault ruined, now worst class ever.

but seriously i wouldnt even call this a nerf, they are going in the right direction but if you really wanted to nerf the assault you would get rid of his fly+charge boost (the extra distance he get when he charges while flying and immediately shuts off fly after he boosts)

They actualy made the charge cooldown longer than before so now the assault has to pick whether to use it as a key to get into battle fast or to use it to get out of battle fast and not both. May not seem like a big nerf but if you think about how ofter assaults charge for mobility this is actually preety big.

Doesn't seem to bad... It's not like anyone goes around spamming charge

I agree with everything. I main assault and I am looking forward to the changes in balance. I think the assault was overpowered in the sense where anybody could pick him and do fairly decent. These balance changes will definitely change my play style some, but I don't feel like any of these changes are going to be too bad. It'll bring in new endorsement builds as well. I always wanted to have the bomb blow up before regenerating the skill.

I'm sure most of the assaults on the forums are going to adapt to the changes fine. I play a mean tank as well so theres always that option.

WHAT? you go around punching snipers and bullseye in the FACE?

While juiced you only get half the money for killing something (pro kills net you now 12$ instead of 25$ for example). No money is gained when attacking the money ball while juiced.
Don't know about bots or money pickups but those are the ones I noticed.

The bomb nerf just makes the class less fun for people like me who use a bomb build but it's ok otherwise I guess.

The money gained is halved? What about killstreaks?

Amen.

He still has Fly and the deadly AR...these changes were a long time coming.

I'm pretty sure they are not affected by this. Would have to test it but I'm too lazy to actually pay attention to these things.

Based on this video, it look as if Kill Streaks went unchanged.

Edit: This video also shows you how Charge 3 gets you killed. Here.

Apparently I'm right simply because I can be.
I would put on sunglasses now.

Charge 3 is fun... Especially when you grapple bots

Just look at me in my sig, and Guile. Sunglasses are cruise control for always being better/correct.
