Jammers shouldn't be affected by the lack of a generator unless it is down over say 2 mins? I think that'd balance the class nicely, however then a 2-3 second delay before the jammer affects stealth.

People easily can get shafted while trying to catch your flag and even if he has the flag, there's still the problem of getting chased by Pathfinders with a Thrust pack, also, Juggernauts Mortars. Try dodging those while there's like 3 people on your tail. Overall, great update imho, much needed for INFs, not sure what they'll evolve into now though (As in, what roles they fulfill now). _________________ viewtopic.php?f=313&t=68145&start=20 <-- Please read the very first post on that page and consider it, Hi-Rez.

Wouldnt it make more sense to have the name of the person on your team carrying flag Aqua instead of Red? When you see a Red name, your first thought is its an enemy. _________________ StarwindT2 ingame

Any unsettling the Infiltrator Pack does will eventually be balanced out with all the other class updates. I'd rather it be this way that have to wait a year to get all of them at once. Valve proved this method of distribution as being lucrative with their Team Fortress 2 class updates that spanned several months. The only downside you have to these types of roll outs is 50% of the server will be that one class that got updated.

Once again, an update that makes capping a thousand times easier. What are you doing Hi-Rez? What. Are. You. Doing?
