Well, it's still to be seen if the new changes will turn casual players off toward Normal and Hard. Personally I think that while the balance is getting very good at Suicidal, it feels a tad uneven at Normal. Pipes, launchers, and the AA12 are still just as easy as before to solo a FP with, while the Xbow requires assistance even though it arguably takes more skill to tag a FP with multiple headshots.
Yes, but normal nonetheless was harder. It's normal; it really isn't meant to be difficult for us verterans. However, the xbow and katana changes, as well as the clot change and double-rage FP all make a idfference on normal. While nowadays, FPs get inta-bowed on normal, in the beta an xbow to the face kills not even a scrake (in fact, scrakes took quite a few bolts if I recall.)
Right now the beta has a cut-off line and low supply which both reserves it more for veterans or at least good players. Trust me, playing normal on a pub server will become much harder if implemented. In general, pub servers would become much harder. I mean, the beta servers are the equivalent of private servers, which are never too hard becuase everyone has the unspoken agreement to work as a team and listen to others.
