No account-level unlocks, and no empire-specific rocket launchers. But lots of fixes, and vastly more XP for vehicle kills (four times as much, in several cases). Also warpgate rotations and C4 now despawns upon death.

I'm sorry, what was that about the C4? That is the stupidest decision ever, unless they cut the cost of C4 down by 75%.

I do not believe that they have. There are quite a number of threads about that over on the PS2 forums.

As someone who hates C4, this is pretty nice.

How much EXP for a sundie? I get 500 already, and I can usually bust two or so per major assault.

Sudie is still 500. All the others have come up to match it. MBTs now give 500, Lightnings 400 (IIRC), ESFs 400, Libs 400, Galaxies 500 (IIRC), and Flashes are still only, like, 30, because who cares about a Flash.

Flashes can have guns on them. Like, heavy guns.

Henceforth, C4 shall be known as the overpriced explosive you use to take out abandoned parked vehicles in the middle of nowhere because using it anywhere that's closely resembling a battlefield has a 95% chance of you being dead and losing your C4 and resources.

well C4 was just a competition between factions on where they could put the most C4 on a territory and watch the XP come in.

Oh right, I guess mister support class wouldn't know just how vital C4 is to Light Assaults.

well no, because I have no use for C4 and when I am confronted with it, it doesn't end nicely for me.

It's the one way to kill a tank as infantry in less than 300 minutes, and it doesn't leave a really clear smoke trail.

Or destroy enemy sunderers which, as a Light Assault, you have the best ability to reach out of all classes.
