Wow, I don't understand why they'd wait until May, 8 months after the game is released.

I don't have any problems with those changes, but I definitely think there is more they need to fix gameplay wise. Increasing the DMR's max bloom isn't enough, they either need to increase the reset/expansion rate or make it a 4 shot kill (without modifying other weapon damages) to shorten kill times. Also, it would be absolutely ridiculous if they didn't change the no-bleed through on melees, I don't understand how that could be overlooked.

Those two things ^ are the big issues, but they could've also lengthened the fuse on grenades (or shortened the blast radius) and fixing bounce issues (random soft surfaces, frags catch on the floor/walls instead of bouncing properly) as well as tweaking the spawn system to put more weighting on not spawning you near enemies.
