    This war bond looks like its upgrading current weapons.

    There’s a new smg, plasma and assault rifle as well as a new impact incendiary grenade

      The more weapons they add the more diluted and redundant the balancing will become, we’ll just see how far they keep going like this. If they continue releasing weapons at this rate for a year more it could get really weird.

        I’m more worried that they have created an arms race.

        How far will they go to attract new and retain players with new weapons.

        Looking forward to the quasar assault rifle

          Yeah I’m pretty stoked for new stuff already, but I’m worried they’re going to “iPad baby” the community and risk losing attention if they don’t saturate us with new shit every few weeks.

            Unfortunately, that’s the reality of the live service market. You need to have content to keep players. At the rate AH is releasing patches and content, things will break.

          They’ve been pretty keen on balancing weapons regularly, so I don’t think they’d do that or else why even waste the time balancing and creating contention with the community over it, but time will tell

            They’ve been keen on trying; they’re just trash on execution.

              I think it’s okay, for 99% of the balance changes I’ve agreed even though some of them I kneejerk disliked because it was a nerf of a weapon I liked.

              The biggest thing I’d disagree with is that they haven’t balanced all the weapons I think they should, but the changes they have made im not really mad about

              Pretty much every weapon is viable atm, so I can’t really agree. Even the worst picks fill a niche depending on your playstyle.
