Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

I think just having it so it doesn't select the objective that team defended last round should be enough variety. There's few enough rooms per level that truly random can some dumb results.

Random objectives in casual is the best thing about the mode, it forces you to try out points you wouldn't otherwise touch.

Kinda wish attackers could pick their spawn so they don't always charge in from the same direction though, but maybe that'd be imbalanced.

The DMRs’ maximum “trigger” rate has been lowered to prevent very rapid firing. This change was made because the maximum trigger rate was too high. Some people were able to click so fast on their mouse that it turned the DMR into a fully automatic AR. We felt like this was too strong.

Double the overheal! Hope to see more Doc.

I'm also happy with the Glaz buff giving attackers some way to defend against spawn camping.
Could a military gear nerd explain why the hat is so small? I'm not being facetious here, this kind of hat has always struck me as functionally weak.

It's her fingers that look odd. Bet they give Twitch an elite weapon skin that isn't for her Famas.

Buff to the Para 308 ok, no buff to the god awful M249.
Slight Blitz buff, doubt it does a lot to fix the unreliability of his shield.
Yokai might be acceptable now.

Not a lot of bug fixes considering how many there are at the moment.

Dead weight, just like this post.



Hard instead of fixing the objective randomization algorithm in Casual please just introduce small changes to the map everytime the game picks the same objective point.

Oh no we're in the construction/kids room bomb sites on house? Suddenly one of the outside windows leading into the point is indestructible! Maybe whoever owns the house took the stairs away because the kids are grounded.Perhaps the map suddenly has an earthquake happen and now the map is played while in freefall.

I'm glad they fixed that with blitz but he's still unplayable if his shield randomly fails :(

That is probably much more effort than telling the game not to pick the same thing twice. Maybe just make it not the same thing twice if they win, like in ranked.

Those are like our piss-cutter covers (hats) we wear with our "Service" uniforms (USMC and other militaries) and they were originally made to cover a high-and-tight haircut (or contemporary male fashion haircut, first inspired by the Nazis--seriously). Regulations require the cover to be worn straight and even, but during WW2-era those with combat experience frequently tilted their covers to indicate that experience (the Combat Action Ribbon, Combat Action Badge, etc didn't exist yet). It looks like it should be about the right size unless Twitch is actually normally smaller and she really is a blow-up doll.

That said, in modern times a similar-but-different design of that cover is made for women (the bottom part is significantly more curved and is not as "tall") to fit their hair. Obviously in WW2 Twitch didn't have access to modern piss-cutter technology. hon hon hon

That was quite an autistic post.

Relevant: Twitch looks eerily similar to an on-again off-again FWB I had.

This is an interesting way to semi reveal another operator. As well as a decent callback to Raven Shield

Thanks for the explanation, seriously. I have an irrational dislike of tiny hats, and at least this is rooted in history and function.

Glaz is great when you get a chance to shoot at people with him. 1-3 hits will put literally​ anybody on the ground
