    @mattshark I think I need to retire now.

    I like how I felt I had enough time to put in a few bullets into the penultimate guy, just to be sure, before strafing for the last kill. The last guy was clearly rattled by the turn of events.

    I woke up this morning thinking it wasn't that good a round, but I'm pretty chuffed having watched it back.
    Nah, it was brilliant. I liked our crazed shouting on the mic when you won it too!

    People who play regular Terrorist hunt, does defend the hostage seem a bit rushed to you? Do you think it would benefit from more prep time and a fixed number of wall reinforcememt devices? i.e. removing the fact you gain 1 wall reinforce device with each visit to the ammo crate.

    Doesn't feel like you have enough time to set up propely.

    Has the framerate always been so bad in terrorist hunt? Only played it a few times when I bought the game, there's a significant difference between it and casual/ranked.

    On console, competitive MP is at 60, and the rest of the game is at 30.

    Seems pretty damn good to me. Loving the endscreen, as is a theme these days, but it's nice to get to see all that customisation you spend your renown points on.

    Huh, how strange. Normally it's the other way around. Oh well that's good, glad it's 60 in MP.

    New operators look like they will be automatic picks, and the new map looks exciting as well. Wasn't expecting Valkyrie to get four cameras, that is an indirect buff for IQ.

    Some of the balancing changes seem well thought out. Taking frags away from thermite sucks though, but giving them to buck is smart.

    Yes, I like the changes on the whole. EG's resident Thermite operator Reacher might not like Thermite losing frags, but Buck certainly could do with them.

    Montagne's extra shield coverage looks glorious.

    I might use IQ more readily if the extra cameras are going to be pivotal. IQ definitely needed some kind of improvement.

    I would have liked Kapkan's trap being tweaked, but other than that I'm pleased with the development.

    [Please don't let us have another hugely buggy release, though!]

    @TheDarkKnight

    Actually, you can switch it up to 60 in terrorist hunt by going in to Options - Video - and turning of Vsync. You will get screen tear by doing this, but at least you get 60 fps!

    @erniewhatbert I'm sad to lose the frags but always happy to gain flashbangs. I'm glad they have gone to Buck, he needed a bit of a buff to catch up with other operators.

    Thatcher will be more important now with his grenades if there are more cameras about.

    I really like the sound of the patch though I am worried about Montagne now!

    I'd have liked Kapkans traps being adjusted, but they always pick up a surprising kill if you place them well and they act as a good deterrent/slow down in certain areas. The main reason I use Kapkan is because his weapon of choice is excellent.

    You might struggle to wrestle IQ out of Matt's hands though :)

    Taking frags away from thermite also makes Thatcher even more important. You used to be able to frag drone holes to take out signal disruptors or batteries, but now you have to ask someone to do that for you.

    This is very important!

    Changes to lighting within the game.
    Attackers now have an easier time seeing inside from the outside.
    Defenders now have an easier time seeing outside from the inside.

    It has been ridiculous how blind you can either way.

    If my PS4 would auto-update the game as the dash options state it should with games, I would be able to get a shot of this when I get in tonight. But that won't happen.

    Contrary to info that came out from the preview build, Blackbeard's shield can be shot at and destroyed.

    Patched and ready to roll later. Sadly, Everton are "playing" so I might not get on until late.

    @Reacher you'd have been better off playing Siege and ignoring Everton by the looks of it ;)

    How is the patch then? Hopefully no new problems? Going to be getting back into this, is anyone still partying like it's 1999 on PS4?

    Valkyrie is pretty cool and her cameras are very handy.

    Blackbeard's shield is good for playing as the point man, or holding one side of an objective room while still being able to lay down suppression.

    The new map is fun, I like it more than the last DLC map.

    Everything else seems slick, with no obvious issues in the hour so I have played so far.

    @TheDarkKnight Most certainly.

    The patch is pretty solid. It's a case of having to learn the new map too. There was a lot of teamkilling by people who obviously didn't get to pick the new Operators and threw their dummy's out of the pram but I am hoping that stops soon.

    I seem to be really lucky, I have always been on the other team to the troll teamkiller so far. More than a few games recently the round starts and it's bing bing bing 5 vs 4, 5 vs 3, 5 vs 2. Solid patch from what I can tell though. Valkyrie is a great addition, really adds a lot to the gameplay.

    The changes to the lighting on the PC version seems to have damaged my framerate somehow.

    I haven't been able to play much since the patch came out. I'm hoping to rectify that tomorrow and the rest of the following week.
