unless heavies get equalized the research tree will never be balanced ... even if a hypothetic CN and ML would do the exact same damage, with the same RoF and shit - they still work differently and the hit chances in various situations are a balancing factor you cannot account for.
This is a Physics-centric map. Nothing new added. The new Chemistry tree complements the Physics tree and cannot stand on its own in late game. This is a much simpler map, but a newbie won't be able to get the best toys if he just focuses on Physics. Unfortunately, it does look boring.
why should brenodi ever open chemistry? as far as i can tell its heavily BE sided. also how to research heavies? if i only need to get mech and upg chassis, youll have heavies right away or what?
