I haven't had a whole lot of time with it, but I did enjoy the changes in this update. As always, I only ever play as the US and mostly the Marine Corps, so my post revolves around that point of view. I will say, that I feel like the PLA needs more attention. I don't mean that as a bad thing, I just think the US is close to whole and I'd like to see the PLA upgraded.

Some of the things I'm really glad to see.

- The armor upgrade for the HMMWV. It works nicely in the game, and doesn't feel overpowered to me.

- The Predator drone is a nice addition and feels more authentic.

- All of the weapon upgrades. I never really cared for being able to upgrade with more than one specialty weapon. Each squad now feels like they are more purpose-driven.

- I'm sure there is more that I'm forgetting, but I'm enjoying the mod a lot more with this patch.

Thanks!

Aside from a few USMC units (like the residual Bradley and M106A2) I agree. We intend to focus primarily on the PLA now. Maybe afterwards you'll give them a shot.

I guess anything is possible.

There are a few minor changes I'd make with the Marine Corps, but nothing that really affects game play. I'll actually be making some of the changes on my own computer, then I'll be set.

What would you change? Being a vet and seeing it all first-hand after all?

Some smaller things would be to give MARSOC the SF helmets back, and change their vests. I'd also give the SEALs helmets, maybe of a different color or something if your goal is to make them stand out. The only other things would be new/different units and deployment methods for some of the units. There are other things, but those are major reworks that would probably add little to the game anyways.
