Has heroic Firefight been patched already?

I swear these last few games I’ve died so quickly whereas last night I was an absolute bullet sponge. What gives?
My death speed today

And before today. Skip to 8:30 to watch the hunter fight and then 9:55 for another time he takes alot of damage
Last night I was confidently calling in weapons left and right because I was taking so much damage without dying, I’d be able to stay severely one shot and still take multiples shots without dying. Hell, I bet there’s videos on YouTube of first impressions of the playlist and you can see how much damage they take as opposed to what it’s now like. Play for yourself. If you played a decent amount of it before today, you’ll likely notice your deaths are quicker.

I hope not. Heroic FF is the last bastion of relaxed gameplay in H5. It’s about the only way I find I can lean back and just have fun in this game. Everything else about H5 sucks the enjoyment out of my gaming experience.

From the couple of games I played yesterday, the only time I got destroyed was CQB encounters with Knights holding power weapons. In those circumstances it seemed reasonable that I died quickly.

i think a lot of people were using the new Wasps and making it easier at first, but now people have depleted their freebies and have gotten stingy with their reqs

I’m pretty positive it’s changed, I’ll.post comparison vids from last night to today.

Has 343 said anything on Reddit/Twitter?

The videos I have from Last night aren’t as good of an example as I thought they were, but I still take a phantom shot while one shot without dying whereas today I died from taking two hits from a suppressor while one shot.
Yesterday
Today
It feels completely different today than it did yesterday. Yesterday I was able to comfortably and confidently call if power weapons and use every shot without dying. I’m about 95% sure it’s been patched somewhat. The 5% of doubt is just because the playlist barely released, but something doesn’t feel the same.

Not that I know of. Watch the videos I edited I to the original post.

Look at the videos I edited into the original post

those seemed like pretty different situations in the two vids. in one, only one elite had an angle on you, and it was partially blocked by cover. in the second, 10 guys spawned right in front of you with no cover between you. always gonna get melted there. but i also havent played yet today cuz I’ve been watching the pro league finals instead

My experience Saturday was a lot better than today.

Yesterday seemed smooth and natural while today was frustrating - lag, teleporting, shots not registering, disconnecting, etc. Bad enough that I just gave up.

Perhaps the population is low because everyone is off watching the HCS finals?

Watch the YouTube video I posted, skip to 8:30 and watch the hunter fights. If you think those hunters didn’t inflict much more damage on that guy than the crawlers did to me, than you’re crazy. The YouTube example is how my gameplay has been until today. And like I said, I don’t have a good example on video but I don’t for a fact that ive been taking much more damage the days before today.

When you watch the YouTube example, pay close attention to the secondary bar once he becomes one shot, look how little damage the hunters shots are doing to him while one shot. Then watch mine again and look how quick my secondary bar goes down when I’m one shot.

Check 9:55 on the same video. If that’s not proof that the health was higher yesterday than it is today, then I don’t know what is. He took shot after shot after shot.

Maybe there is some server issues

No way server issues would cause you to die quicker. If that were a thing, it would be know of by now considering the amount of times there’s been server issues on this game.

I really hope not, it’s the only thing keeping me in Warzone atm. 343, why don’t you ever you statistics in your favor?

Just watched both videos and it seemed fine to me. the hunter was missing most of his shots and in the other video there was multiple promeatheans shooting you and they weren’t missing.

LOL!!! Ok, dude. The second hunter even meleed the guy and he didn’t die but ok it looks fine to you lmao. Not only am I supplying clear proof, but I’ve also been noticing it constantly in my gameplay. I don’t see how you think two suppressor shots while I have no shields should warrant a kill but a hunter spraying and punching this guy without him dying is normal. Then the additional footage at 9:55 shoes him once again taking much more damage than I did before dying.

Same, I’ve had so much fun with it until today ;/

I just played a match and it seemed no different to me.
