What is this "Corner Pass" you speak of.

 

(And thank god for that bug fix, really annoying when team mates suicide trying to kill an already dead tank)

I think is the TD Camping Corner (That hill on the northern spawn), I think you can no longer go up there.

Sly, With the match making going back to +2/-2 will that mean we will start getting unbalanced teams again?

Has old mm been to his AA meetings yet? Or is it still going to go on drunken bad matching rampages that horrifies everyone who sees it?

[Bbm_14]

So the camo-net nerf is here to stay?

I hope that all who complained about it being OP are satisfied. 

 

( evolution of the dying TD )

Possibly, but it means we will get greater team variety

What are you on about? The only thing +1/-1 MM did was help lower tier tanks (since most of their guns can't pen most 8s and 9s). It doesn't at all affect the types of tanks put into the same match. As far as I'm concerned, there were still ridiculous match ups such as an entire team of mediums versus heavies and tank destroyers. Stop getting your panties in a wad.

The teams were actually balanced for once, with the old match making teams weren't balanced majority of the time. Doesn't matter what kind of match up you get at least the teams have a fighting chance.

Agreed. Mines, north full team of tds and slow heavies vs 7 mediums... Tds get the north spawn where sniping isn't even really an option...

Breaking News!

 

A forum post on WOTB Forums is already threatening to become de-railed only minutes after its posting. This reporter watches as what may be the beginning of a flame war begins to make the post rattle on its tracks.

 

Stay tuned for more information as this situation develops. More at 11.

Yeeees, new MM is for noobs, NOOBFRIENDLY

[_MoisterOyster]

Was hoping that the T34 Heavy was going to be buffed... Oh well. At least they didn't nerf anything.

[Minecraftexpert_25]

So nobody knows what the "corner pass" is on Castilla?

[Aivris]

Looks like a great update. I'm glad that the bug with drowned vehicles is fixed, and I'm really interested in that new medal.

 

Best of luck for when it goes live!

• Fixed the the shape of the AC-1 Sentinel's machine gun so that it's more historically accurate.

 

 

 

 

Or maybe so that it looks less "Phallic"

Wrong. If there were more than 10k players on the server, then vehicle classes would be balanced.
