    takes 20 swipes to kill a marine directly in front of you

    feels like 1.04 all over again

    Marines with 0 armor upgrades = 2 swipes
    Marines with 3 armor upgrades = 5 or 6 swipes

    dunno in between...

    General:
    * Locational hotkeys in commander view, which I don't recall being mentioned. Really threw me. Is this configurable, BTW?
    * Roof glitches on Tram in comm view (marine start).
    * Some places still say "carbon" or "plasma" (Scoreboard, for instance).
    * Yay! Click on notifications works!
    * Names on players in comm view might be the nicest change in 162, in practice.

    Marines:
    * Minimap updates are ultra fast, much better than the previous jerky behavior.
    * Ability to directionally place sentries. <3
    * Armory has larger resupply radius. You can see around the edges while resupplying now. Nice to avoid the ankle biters.

    Aliens:
    * Alien upgrades are EXPENSIVE now. Up to 35 carb^H^H^H^H ... team rez.
    * Drifters still fail to build :(
    * Is it just me or is there a big sensitivity change while in Lerk sniper mode now?
    * Gestate progress now displayed. Yay!

    It would be easier to post in the 'official' 162 comments thread so the devs can see our comments quicker.

    Still 30 - 40 fps, still lots of stuttering, still loads of lag. Still unplayable.

    - Sentry's seem overpriced compared to the alien hydra/crag spam.. and fs seems to be the only weapon thats effective at taking our hydra farms atm. ..
    - Command chair works great, I was in it for an hour and didn't notice any lag glitches or issues from my side
    - Still kinda hard to aim at a rine as an allien I saw from the cc a skulk biting a marine from behind and he didn't seem to hit...
    - overall lag seems to have improved but I still heard people complaining about glitches..


    Some questions:
    - How do I assign squads? There doesn't seems to be a logical way to do it?
    - we are ready for some more content now (wasn't there a new map coming with this patch?)
