First of all I love this game. The nightfall update had some pretty dope additions but there were some things that were changed that were fails and not needed. So heres my 2 cents:
Fails:
1. Messed up a lot of skins and changes took away from realism for instance:
- Mossberg 590: why does it look like the TOZ now? removing the heat shield and adding ghost ring sights that are way too wide original mossberg was sick and really close to real thing.
- M4a1 and M16: the front sights get removed when attachments are added. I understand the reasoning but the front sight post isnt just for acquiring targets, it is also the gas system for the weapon. U.S. military uses Colt made gas systems and not piston (pistons dont need the front sight) so removal is stupid cause weapon wouldnt work lol this would make sense if done to CQB mk18.
2. Lag is worse than before. Self Explanatory.
3. Too much movement while running! wtf it was perfect before now looks like your skipping instead of running and player doesnt get tired anymore feel like forest gump lol, "just keep on running and running and running..."
Wins:
1. Ak-74. Finally! Recoil is awesome too!
2. Night Vision great idea as well wish they would show how goggles in POV will block pheriphal vision a bit.
3. New maps look good and were def needed.
- (A Counter-Strike Militia style map would be sick if someone made it)
4. new game mode survival pretty fun and interesting concept.
Overall great update obviously bugs will be fixed with future patches (hopefully) but as for the changes to look of skins...Why? lol ♥♥♥♥ was fine before. Game seems to be going down the COD route which would be horrible!! More addons are going to do anything but bring more bugs. Best to fix ones that are current.
Why go down COD route? I can only imagine to get more ppl to play, but that def would not work. I have recommended this game to at minimum 13 other ppl all of whom have bought it and have since left the game. Not cause it lacked "cool" skins, maps or realism. The game is pretty damn close to real. (I own several and have fired the majority of the weapons in this game) but because it lags...A LOT! If want more ppl to play (which I hope do cause its a freakin awesome game) then get that ♥♥♥♥ fixed and ppl will flock.
This is not to bash developers who I am sure work really hard to get Insurgency to where it is today. It mainly is to share my OPINION of the new update, take how you like but if you agree or disagree feel free to share how I am right or how I am stupid, makes no difference to me. Lastly, just a shout out and a big thank you the the dev of insurgency you guys are awesome keep up the good work, peace.

Pretty sure the front sights getting removed is a bug they are working on.
Haven`t noticed more lag but meh, although I have noticed stuff starts skipping around 80-100ms.
And I love the recoil on the new guns it is really nice to actually have some challenge in the gunplay but sadly forward grips nullify it.

EDIT: We told them that new sprinting pov animation is way off during beta, this is modified (yep, was even worse), it sucks because there is only 1 animation speed for any weight (it looks good if you are wearing only pistol = movement is faster, animation correspond).
they called it carry handle because it is a carry handle
