Relic have released the latest news on patch 2.602, it will be going live on the 24th of May (25th for us most likely) and some interesting changes are included, some good, some not so good.

The list of updates are in the spoiler (be warned it is a LONG list)

Too long to read?

Basically a few bug fixes, a few more maps (which will most likely be added to the rotation). Americans strafe isnt overly changed while the Hellcat gets a speed increase and a damage nerf. The T17 also gets a substantial health buff on no vet. Wehrmacht pak gets a nerf (who didn't see that coming), no more camo sniping. Kampfcraft centre now requires a base building, no more piospam (well early game anyway) and the G wagon cops a damage nerf.

British roo's have had their cost increased and the stags have had a huge damage nerf, a few of the british emplacements now build faster as well. PE seemed to get a lot of buffs but probably not enough, although the kett and schwim both got a large sight increase and gewehrs now suppress, making the PE better in the opening stages of the game.

Overall some good changes that were needed, some a shock. This could prove interesting in competitive play and ultimately for the better, the only side I think that will be worse off in 1v1 or 2v2 will be the Brits with PE certainly going to be tougher in the 1v1 field.

With this update comes the announcement of season 6 for the CoH ladder 1v1 and 2v2. Inactive teams/players will be slowly removed over the next few weeks with PM's being sent out soon. The map pool will have a few more options as well with patch 2.602. It will run over a 12 week period with finals TBC, I will make another thread when the season is live.

Any issues PM me or post here (keep it constructive), also thoughts on the new changes.

a lot of people are in the same boat, Hunter and Cruse are the only two I have seen continue playing on and they are quite good, season 6 should be good
