The problem with balancing around Havoc is that Havoc was balanced around the meta load outs which have been broken for quite a while. Instead of addressing clearly broken weapons and talents on other classes, Fatshark amped up Havoc to accommodate broken sh..like Duelling Sword MK IV, immortal zealots, weapons with unlimited cleave etc.
Don’t get me wrong, Havoc is fun and all, but some of the most cheesy Havoc difficulty modifiers would not be needed if certain classes, talents and weapons were put in the place they should have been 6 months ago.
