Balancing update. Called it.

[CaffeinePowered]

75%+ Change they have the slowdown effect falloff over distance
50% They change spin up/down time
25%- They lower damage

I might DL this later.  For someone who claims they could do a better balancing job I'd better step up

[KarthXLR]

Alt-tabbing does NOTHING OMG

Natascha variate one looks to be actually good and balanced

I am thinking about moving Green Server to beta - any input on this? I am beginning the download of it now and plan to move it to beta unless there are objections.  We also need to come up with a Beta map rotation - Possibly the same as Red server - just Beta

[EarthlingJohn]

Hrm, normal rotation of maps with beta gorge and granary

I think that you should do it, and move it back when the beta ends.

but for now, beta maps rotation, because based on the notes they left us, expect more maps and more weapons, and MORE INSANITY

[KarthXLR]

would love a brb server in the beta, DO IT

[KarthXLR]

Loving the beta right now, everything feels a lot less cluttered.

Getting ready to download as I type. Anything big aside from the Natascha changes in beta?

Everything is a little ghetto and wonky. The text doesn't scale for me now which kinda sucks at 1080.

Everybody gets the same set of weapons. No polycount items aside from the spy's fez-pack. (Which is likely the next candidate for balancing) and only one weapons changeout for most classes. It feels nice.

Since I dont have console access to do this to the GS Servers, I say go for it

Green will be online in Beta this afternoon.  Quickly someone give me a rotation to use because I can't decide what I should use as the rotation.

All stock maps, including the new gorge and badlands, along with whatever customs are most played on the blue and red servers.
