EXO at 8:50 :)
Some things i noticed so far:
- Red Hive/CC icon is still in(more transparent) , but can probably be turned off
- Loads of Help text/pictures
- Ragdolls seem heavier? (although i still saw an onos fly )
- it looks sexy
- power icon next to location, shows if area is powered
- no more ugly build bar ( now shows progress ring on builder tool and on the info text bar above building )
- CC/Hive health bar looks alot better
- tram has had a makeover (alot brighter)
- enemy players show a name plate, friendly players show a health bar/name plate
- new voiceovers are in ( awesome )
- vents are yellow on minemap
- Parasite gives your weapon a cool yellow glow, no more dot next to your health.
- 2nd command station has a "locked sign"if another CC is in use ( not sure if it was like that)
- Exo has 390 armor ( shows armor 1 in red, not sure what that means, maybe its capped for exo )
- Exo has "hood" that closes after u buy it
- Exo: u can walk over eggs and squish them
- Exo: gorge spit? and bile bomb blinds the exo think cory said it will be less cvovering in the released build )
- Exo: u just die if u run out of armor ( u don't jump out)
- Commander (marine)
- new UI looks awesome
- buildings have outlines around them to see them better( thank u totalbisquit i guess )
- New Power grid effect, looks great.
- destroyed/unbuilt power node shows as blue placed building for marines ( not sure..)
- Charlie can't spell when playing ;P

Comments
in the b216 balance files, it says 300 base and 30 per upgrade so this makes sense if on armor level 3.
I hope the exo gets a massive spotlight!
This has been there for a while but it was very hard to see/notice.
ah, well i don't command that often, first time i saw it :D
I thought those were scans...
great, thanks for share ^^
Edit:
Is it just me or are the fps very high in this vid?
I realy hope its not just the high end IGN machine.
“Along with this mechanized pain train, the impending Exosuit patch includes a brand new map: Veil. The patch is also packed with bug fixes, balance adjustments, and performance improvements. The physics system has been completely overhauled. A new hint system gives greater accessibility for new players, while a menu option allows experienced players a clear HUD. New commander UI’s are making it easier for those of you who aspire to lead, and a new power grid system will allow you to place structures more deftly.â€
Fixed that for ya, the enemy structure still show their HP though
Also the name plate is visibility range is much shorter, fixing the issue of spotting enemies in vents or around the corner :)

changed :)
Also wanted to link all the sites that show the trailer but i think its over a 50 sites already ...
uwe been busy.
Now lets get rid of the push back on infantry portals.
Lol, totally agree with you antacid :)
Hardly, many new players like it.

The first time I saw it, i actually thought it was a bug.
<!--sizeo:1--><span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->
And I still hate it.<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->
If you look on <a href="http://hypernovadesign.co.uk/nanogrid/" target="_blank">Nanogrid</a> right now, they have 22 players in their 217 test server, so probably some final bug hunting is going on.
Marines shouldnt have it (they have scan for showing that up) Aliens should only get it once building is parasited
I thought it was funny when you referred to your opinion as the community's unanimous opinion.
right. uwe has an expansive view of community - which includes many new players that have no clue what to do. They need extra tips.
The hardcore community will turn it off & all will be bliss.
also, it was a first cut implementation, sheesh.
