With boiler tweaks it says "slight", so basically jack shit it will do to hugging FoB meta. Crusher just got more tanky and that nearly doesn't matter in FoB defence, only frontlines make him eat more PBs, Pulse Rifle etc.
Tesla Coil that doesn't let sentries and shit like that near it, so matters only slighty, its still way better to have flaming sentry than Tesla at FoB.
The most that matter is less FoB mats, but that doesn't mean FoBs will be smaller, it means that there will be less frontline cades.
As always, the solution that gets implemented to any problem has to create more problems and don't quite fully solve the original issue in the first place.
I see a lot of people just suggesting the devs lower the amount of mats marines get. I don't think this would be a wise action as it would just make marines lose most rounds. There is a reason that marines Cade turtle and that is the marine weapons are really shitty. I think the devs should buff how much damage both sides can do while reducing the tankyness and fortifications of both Xenos and marines. While cade turtling is the issue now, let's not forget Xeno delaying and how big of an issue that was a few months back. I would like to see a return to the meta of when both sides would basically meet for a huge fight at the start of the deployment and whoever won that would have the momentum to win the round.
Too late, ASRS gives out less free metal and plasteel now.
marines were buffed earlier with more free engie mats so it more back to norm, somewhat
Crushers still stunned by sandbags. Truly epic.
Imagine playing crusher.
As a marine main, this is what I miss of back on the days when I started playing CM, marine victory being rare made the game so much thrilling.
What stops you from, for example, using only fists to fight with benos and trying to not be captured to the round end? This gotta be thrilling, you and only you can experience the thrill of loosing so much, while other players enjoy fair play.
Win-Win situation in my opinion. Benomain wolf is full and marine sheep is fine.
The game wasn't meant to be fair back on the days, that notion made it so unique, I would argue that also contributed to a higher level of RP among the marines, Im not sure if its only the thrill of a demanding challenge that made it so appealing to me, but overall doesnt feel the same. It doesnt mean that i want hugger combat back, I actually think there's xenos right now that need a nerf, but I certainly miss the Sulaco times vibe.
