EOD Patch info v1.1

[BadLizzard]

Update today at the Eve of Destruction site regarding the soon to be released patch.

Patch has been sorted out. It is currently in the test phase. We've listened to the community in regards to their concerns with certain classes of soldiers within EoD. We have strived to take into consideration both sides of the argument. The biggest complaint has been in regards to the Sniper Kit class.

First, We have not employed kit limiting with this patch, nor employed pickup kits for the Sniper Classes. We may consider these options further, but to do these two options will require more time to implement. We will have to create the pickup kits or incorporate new coding. We feel that a patch is needed now to address these issues.

Therefore, here are some of the things you will see in the upcoming v1.1 patch. Some people will like these changes and I am sure there will be some that do not.
