That stonehenge map will be put in public rotation along with another new map. And there will be a third map that will be on private servers for playtesting. Along with the already mentioned balance stuff.
And fractals finally get a bit of a nerf.

as he disclaims, that's what they've been working on, it might not all make it in.

Unless they really improved the layout? Ugh..
Which one is it?
I'm interested in the Balance changes though.
But as far as the DMB spam goes..
Right now it's 100 from close with the Chaingun and 120 with the ChainCannon. So what, 95 from close with the chaingun? MEGANERF'd!
If DMB's pisses you off right now, they still will post-patch.

Light armors complaining about the damage from a heavy? Oh noes! Here's a hint...don't stand toe-to-toe with a heavy. Do what you're good at and tuck your tail between your legs and run like a little biatch!
A heavy should do heavy damage, even if it's at a fast rate to make up for their immobility. If you are a light and dying from a DMB enough to cry about it then you're doing it wrong.
...and yes, I'm hopped up on cold medicine and maybe a bit cranky.

The majority of times that a DMB is mowing down lights, is when they are trying to grab a flag he is standing on. They have to fly straight at him, making themselves insanely easy to trace. 5% won't change a thing.
It will, however, help level out the playing field dueling vs other heavies, who DMBs usually obliterate due to the more powerful auto, vs the slower moving larger targets.

DMBs are there to stand on flags. That's their role and that's why they're so good at it. They don't need a nerf. Where DMBs fail is that they have no long range capability whatsoever, so any Brute, Jug or Raider can just keep them off the stand - and there's nothing the DMB can do about it because they're too slow to get out there (ergo leaving the stand) and they have no weapons that effectively reach.
Brutes obliterate DMBs, they can two-shot them with the Devastator or three shot them with the splash from either of the Heavy spinfusors. The Heavy Twinfusor will be even nastier.
The real problem is Juggernauts, who have the best of both worlds. They have a ranged weapon with high damage and enormous blast... paired with an effective short ranged rapid fire weapon. They have no weaknesses that can be easilt exploited. If the Heavy Twinfusor is a primary for the Juggernaut (it should be on the Brute ffs), they'll be even worse.

Well, I just plain disagree there. Even with a good dueling equipped JUG, going FM/X1/SD, I usually win with CG. BRTs are getting better, but I still don't think they do well against the CG. IMO, the CG is the most powerful heavy weapon in the game, and is probably second overall to the TCN4.
Why duel a DMB? Just bombard where they are from range. If the DMB is mobile, they're ineffective.
If you bombard them long enough or kill snipers enough times they will get angry, switch to dmb and try to kill you. Most fail, unless they attack in great numbers.
Well now your arguments are getting circular. Yeah, if you have long ranged bombardment, that's what you do. For fear of the CG. Ultimately it's a team game. I usually spot as many long range threats as a DMB HoF as I do mow down close range threats. Sometimes my team helps, sometimes I have to wait out disc spamming BRTs and Mortar spamming JUGs. I think the problem is when you cluster a flag stand, only to have a single heavy spree, because he's got said weapon.
I'm not saying I think the nerf is needed, but I don't think it's unjustified either.

"It's gonna take a lot of teamwork to grab the flag"
Yea, right. Gonna be so hard for a few to raid the Gen and force the flag to the roof
And the game is going to be even more explosive spam and ZipZoomWEEEEE with all the buffs

There's a hole in the roof right over the flag. It's going to take one guy to off the HoF, and toss it on the roof, since everyone else will be defending the gen.
Temple Ruins has completely changed. I haven't been able to wrap my head around it yet. It's now really open and there's a line of sight between bases, so Sentinels are going to love it.
Base assets are redundant and the generator is now behind the flag.

Female voice pack with the Free Runner skin?

It works only for yourself right?
Well, that looks like a sweet update, eye-grabbing skins for once and the twinfuser looks fucking polished. I'm not sure how well the generator map will do (Flag exposed when gen is down), but it sounds mostly like a gimmick "I wanted to do something cool" doesn't mean it will actually work. Every maps has the gen working independently with the flag, that's the point.
