The thermal nerf has me nervous | Forums

Will you pat me on the back and tell me every thing will be ok? Will you reassure me that I wont have to be a support class with thermal spec to have a chance of winning? Will I be forced to play a jammer class with athleticism and sprint middle everytime? Oh and how will you see assassins?

I think that is a good fix. I think it's a good fix. Running around with the thermal viewer made everything too much like a COD. Drone is a good compromise and you can always destroy it by shooting it or using the jammer that has that purpose. If you do not like you can use tank or specific perk.

Voice communication, team work... and a well round team will be important..... as far as how will you spot a assassin? With your eyes? Assassins won't be able to just run up on you. They have to move to close range meaning you have the advantage of hiding that you don't have now with thermal useing assassins... as well as sentinel spot traps will be the bane to assassins as there is no hard counter to them.

I dont understand why people want to keepo the rpesent thermo option, it really ruined the game.
With the present you will have a huge advantage still, because a right use of the drone make your team OP, being able to scout enemies easy anyway.
But at least you can use other perk to be competitive.
We will see might be too OP as well, game should be tactical not cod style.

Exactly... the people who are most worried about losing it were the people abusing it. It’s ridiculously OP. I wasn’t for getting rid of it for a while I until started seeing player camera’s with thermal on 90% of the time. I never really use thermals. And seeing snipers with thermals spotting and shooting people way across the map and through walls changed my mind. I can’t wait for Monday. Gonna take some more skill to get those kills.

The thermal changes will change the balance situation for sure, so we'll definitely be looking at player feedback following the patch.

Thermal in this game doesn't work through walls as folks have mentioned before. .....nonetheless, it is overpowered regardless and I'd be happy if it were nixed entirely.
