Since this new patch has been released I've played some of the best solo-queue games in over a year. I've seen people actively taking the Command and Lance Command roles, lances have stayed together and the fighting has become more dynamic with lights flanking. Just wanted to give a shout-out that you guys (players & PGI) are doing a great job, please keep it up!

Agreed! The points have created a fantastic atmosphere of cooperation and strategy almost overnight!

Also... Steiner Scout Lances have been spotted on numerous occasions!

Not seeing any difference. Just more atlases and centurions and less whales and wolves. Oh and like 50% less c-bills for every match.

It's about the same, as long as you play optimally.

I'm using the same builds as before, hardly optimized. I have yet to see a full 12-0 wipe yet though, 12-3 was the worst, followed by 12-5 with everyone getting into the thick of it. Really digging the "hit and run" and "flanking" bonuses.

Agreed, really like this patch. The new reward system needs some tweeking though.

I like to see more love to jj mechs but was a good one.

I LOVE THE NEW REWARDS! Actually makes me more of a team player. I used to work alone. Now, I love it when those lance bonus and proximity bonus flash across my HUD.

Yep all what 800 dollars worth of bonuses. Seriously it seems like people like seeing the rewards, but not caring about how much it is. lance bonus is 35 CBs. 5 minute matches, 4 lance bonuses in a minute, thats 700 c-bills in an average game time of 5 minutes. Enjoy saving that money up to buy half a ton of machine gun ammo.

Main problem with this system is on a solo kills vs Assists
Assists are now worth, 2500 down 4000 from 6500,
now assuming a solo kill,
kill........Kill damage.........component.........solo kill..= total
4000........5000....................2300..............10000...= 21300?
not including a 4500 Savior or Defensive along with that,
so solo kill= 21300, and an assist= 2500,

in all my matches tonight i had teammates moving in-front of me for the kill,
its gotten really bad ive have matches ive won where ive only gotten 60,000-100,000 C-bills,
and on a loss(16 or so out of the 25 matches ive played before posting) 18,000-55,000 C-bills,

if you want to promote team play get rid of the Solo Reward, and double all other rewards,

You are right! The reward is minimal but it makes me feel good and makes me wanna do it... wonder why... some shrewd psychological marketing at work.
