I hope so too. I'm getting bored of the game again and there's not many people playing anyway. There's even some old Source engine games that have just as many peak players.

When Wilson said that the Patriarch would use mortar fire instead of rockets when players hid behind cover, how would that be defensibly balanced? I'm concerned with the presence, or lack of, certain visual and sound queues before and possible destructuion of or evasion during. Not to mention your sight blocked by cover and zeds the Patriarch would be spawning. I hope it doesn't become something like the hand of God smighting you from above (will this attack even happen indoors?) out of nowhere.

I'm fairly certain that there will be sound clues based on which attack he's doing. Hans does at least. Also, I think it's safe to say that the defensive strategy would be to go indoors.

Also, how does the Patriarch himself actually fit into some narrow corridors in already existing maps like Biotics Lab?
Not to continue to bug you guys about this, but will Map Makers be able to control the variables for Patriarch/Hanz's spawns, such as lowering Hanz's spawn rate or increasing the Patriarch's rate?
(on adding the new character)
Not to hijack, but will you guys be adding more female characters after this? I play in a group of six that is split half men and half women, and the women are understandibly... annoyed that they all have to play the same exact character (with different hair/clothes colours!) if they want to be their own gender.
We would all appreciate that, as I feel bad for them. The guys, including me, get to pick characters that most represent us, and they get one option.

The big problem is, with female characters, alot of groups out there will scream sexism if it's not what that particular group thinks is okay and all of them have unrealistic expectations. It's why alot of companies don't have female character models, even today. They don't want the headache.
To quote something I read some where....
If you took Guybrush Threepwood, from the Monkey Island games, who is treated like crap because he's inept and made him Galbrush Threepwood who was also treated like crap due to the same ineptness, it would become 'sexism' because a female character isn't perfect/good at what she is supposed to be.
I'm pretty confident that there'll be more female characters. I think it says something that there was one by default this time instead of not coming along for years.
Why is that? I don't understand how the gender of your character has much to do with representing yourself. I'm a male and I have played Ana since release, because she's the one into metal, screaming "WALL OF DEATH" when going in with the Zerker. That represents me pretty well, so how can our lady friends not find something for themselves in a similar manner? Unless there really isn't a single character for them implemented yet, but in my opinion that has to be based on several factors, not just one.
Just because you dont mind doesnt mean no one has to. I can understand that women want to play as female characters just as much as I normally play as a male. Just because a thing works to you does not mean it works to everyone
