    @EA_Elryn Will upgrade descriptions be changed? And what about the chomper and super brains hit detection problem?

        @XTheKingSaruman I do not think so, this update made the game complete, it is magnificent, it is very good to see that many of my friends will return to the game, and that the community will probably never die.

    Z-Mech can now sprint and Rocket Ride can move. What a time to be alive.

      Any future bugfixes/small balance changes WITHOUT NEW CONTENT or it's 100% over?

        @JellyGarlic Seems like it is 100% over. Every team member who talked about the update said final update. The announcement didn't change after community feedback. Another disappointing lie.

      @Fork_x_Spoon The movement of rocket ride was an intial leaked upgrade. It was accidentally found out by a player, so I guess they added it in now.

        @Shadowphinx101 If I remember correctly they actually accidentally showed it in the upgrade list in one of the "Live from Neighborville" streams. It was called "Bombing Run", if I'm not mistaken. I wish they hadn't added that. The dynamite ability can cancel Rocket Ride now, which would have been enough. With the buffs to Rocket Ride 80's is a pain to deal with now. I have already seen multiple high ranks sprint until the ability is recharged and then obliterating everyone.
        Having said that, the update is still amazing and the BfN team deserves a cookie for it. Or, you know, actual funding from EA to continue the working on the nearly finished stuff they were working on.

    YOU DID WHAT TO SCUTTLE SHOT??! (thanks for the decrease btw) my only ability to troll.... you stole that from me... all I wanted was a little fun... its hard to find that in BFN you know...

    Generally though I think this a not half bad patch but do not butcher scuttleshot I do not want to start smelling stinky snapdragon breath. 

    Oh boy though if your making mech sprint you might of brought me a new play toy....
