My impressions/highlights:
- I'm a loadout whore, give me as many as I can get. I'll get that DLC.
- Other buyable stuff doesn't change how I play the game, so I'll pass
- Was Dedicated Servers a lie? These comments suggest they are still using peer to peer connections "Fixed lag that could occur when host rapidly changed classes" and "Host migration optimizations".
- Riot shield glitch finally fixed (hope so)
- Some spawn issues were fixed (we'll see about that)
