i agree with you on a lot of things being different. being a crappy sniper, it makes me happy when i'm playing alone. unfortunately the friends i often play with were very good to excellent snipers, and now they all hate it like you. it makes me happy that the sword has been changed, but the AR is waaay to powerful, especially because most engagements go something like this: i spawn, i see a guy, i start attacking him, i start getting peppered from a different direction, i kill the first guy, i die from the second. the AR simultaneously makes you very powerful (in that you have a weapon capable of killing someone relatively quickly) and very weak (because anyone can kill you just as quick). i'm glad i read your explanation on melee attacks cause that was seriously starting to piss me off. playing gears a lot made me accustomed to lag, but it wasn't making sense when i was hitting someone then dying myself, but no noticeable lag while shooting. spawning really needs to be changed on High Ground. it seems like everytime i play that with friends someone will be down at the beach with the snipe, only to be surrounded by three buys that just respawned.

and is it just me or does the battle rifle have less stick to it too?
