Personally I really like the new changes this patch gave to the meta. SURELY there are lot of finishing and balancing to do like:
Weight system is too disadvantageous for geared player at the actual state, weight limits must be increased.
Base movement speed (zero/almost zero weight) has been increased too much imo benefiting even more hatchet runners at the expense of geared player.
Head bobbing must be absolutely reduced.
Of course money vanishing must be fixed, but that's a bug, it does not have anything to do with content related stuffs.
Increase level needed for the flea is a good thing, dunno if lv15 is too much or not honestly.
BUT
Except for those balances and "fixing", the basic idea is great in my opinion. Not only because of the realism (remember guys, we are much far from COD's standard here), also because people now cannot bring anymore mammoth backpack, going around like a freaking vacuum and putting in literally tons of stuffs. (remembering that ofc weight system must be rebalanced) now you must think well what to take and what to leave, what item to prefer, choose carefully if you want to put in your backpack a filled plate carrier OR 3 rifles + 1 rifle in hands + 1 rifle on back sling + a pistol + oh look there is enough space for a couple of 40kg TANK BATTERY
Anyway, leaving aside whether you like new changes or not, this is a beta, in which a big patch with lots of new stuffs has been released just few hours ago, bugs are expected, something to balance with that huge meta modification was expected. So please, share your feedback so that devs can continuously improve quality of content, but ffs stop crying that loud, you are not helping. I see posts like "new weight system? Uninstalling the game", "roll back this shit right now", "it's all a big mistake",…what the hell, I didn't remember all these frustrated kid in this game.
