That is my reaction to the whole idea of playing with a voice pack, but maybe that's just because i value team play over kd.

No ways a voice pack is amazing because it provides some interaction to the game, without it you just kill dudes in silence. Getting a 1 man platoon is so goddamn awesome and a 15 kill streak with the max is loving amazing to.

They need to do the universal prox thing but only when your in certain vehicles with the right upgrades--get the loud speakers for the valk and now anyone in the 4th seat can broadcast to all factions over prox.

If you were in a vehicle you could honk your horn to remove the silence. This also has the added benefit of taking you out of the horrible infantry combat in this game.

I am faster then my enemies despite playing a class whose special ability slows me down yet I don't play the other classes that don't have a slowdown ability (nevermind that said ability gave me 70% more health then other players, I don't rely on it for serious)

The idea that HA is considered an honorabru class in this game is funny because it exposes these so-called competitive players as people who either haven't played or couldn't cut it in actual competitive games like CS or even CoD and BF.

This game has had mechanics to punish poor aim harshly for awhile. 0.75x ADS weapons, strong heavy shields, VS guns, etc. many people have a hard time aiming and so these things punish them even harder. Nerfing these things brings the bottom line up a little.

The reality is that much of the game has boiled down to stats, pure and simple. KDR, IVI, KPH... it's what many players value, and it's how many players develop into whatever the meta loadout is. The problem with Planetside (and the community) is that as this meta has hardened into CQC LMG HA's with medkits, we lose sight of the non-stat based virtues of other classes.

I am about 1-1.5 KDR lower on my medic than my heavy, but how can you quantify the value of having a medtool and revive grenades? My infiltrator isn't great at point holds, but the motion spotter is often the difference for all my friendlies in a point hold. Light assaults aren't great in all situations, but there are times where they can be invaluable in controlling buildings.

I'm fine with the HA shield nerf. It will bring them in line a bit more. But I think many people, more in the community than here, lose sight of the fact that a good player should be able to use all these classes - or at least a good outfit will have a mix of players who do more than just CQC HA. Stats have driven the heavy meta, and stats are driving the subsequent nerfs. But stats are not what we should be playing for.

Well unless you're using the Orion and Betelguese, which are doing noticeably worse now.
