Dunno if you guys have seen this:

It's a video showing off the new features of 1.2. It shows the better tracking missles, and the UAV, among some other things.

Many have noticed issues with the Zip Lines causing accidental deaths by pushing players off structures if placed too close to an edge, will this be resolved in a future patch?

No, this is an unfortunate side effect of the item. There was an exploit with it early in development and the solution worked well, although this behavior was necessary.

Translation: It's a bug, and we're not going to do anything about it. In fact, it's working as design. Except for the death.

UAV is a physical object in the air that is destroyable? Crazy.

Interesting enough, even simple features are being thrown back to a SEQUEL. In the Q/A they asked if it's ever planned to give points for completing commander orders, they said to wait for a new iteration of the game, AKA sequel. That's pretty lame.

How many times have they announced it's "almost released"? At least 3 by my count.

IMO this shouldn't be considered as news again until they actually release something. Less community updates, more hurrying up, already!

They still need to work on a way to merge all the extra content so that everything can be run from one server in rotation. The ability to set the team type per map on ranked servers would be welcome too, especially if it were server side.

Also:

Has anything been done in regards to the Black Hawk on such maps such as Masthuur City where it is believed to be overpowered?

The Blackhawk has been adjusted somewhat. So far it has been shown to be less overpowering, but only real world tests will truly verify it.

THANK FUCKING JEEBUS

Mashtuur as MEC is just a waste of time if there is a skilled Black Hawk pilot. There needs to be an opposite spray n' pray helicopter or something, or give the Black Hawk the feature to spontaneously crash, which would fit in with real life... /runs
