: Love how often they said "even playing field". No more loadouts! No
: more ordinance! Everyone's the same and it's your skill that, not which
: ever menu option you selected, that determines your success.
I think the equal starts is important; while in theory I liked a lot about AAs, it's hard to argue against the dissatisfaction some players have when it turned into rock-paper-scissors with abilities invisible until they were used.

I'm not sure about the increased movement options; it'll really depend on how they play. I'm not a very twitchy guy, so having slides, hovers, and thrusters altogether, and chaining them seems like it will be difficult--which is part of the point, but at the same time it needs to be accessible for a wider audience.
