All though I haven't played to many games as late. I have had a chance to play a few games with Extreme Assault on. I have read all these threads & can agree to some a certain degree with both sides/views regarding the pro's and cons of extreme assault. IMO extreme assault as it is now does have a place in the game for scenarios that statistically (game reported results) show that scenario does highly favor the attacker playing with 1.02 assault rules. With extreme assault selected for those given scenarios, maybe it's possible to better balance that scenario (I am aware that the experience/skills of the given players playing that scenario is also a factor to be considered). With that, Those given scenarios that have previously favored the attacker to a high degree may now or possibly become more balanced and entertaining for both sides. Entertainment usually happens when both players feel they had an equal shot at success. On the flip side of that. I'm certain there are a large amount of scenarios that would require that extreme assault not be selected for the attacker to have any chance of success in that scenario, And be entertaining for both sides. Having a tool that can potentially better balance a previously unbalanced scenario is a good thing. I'm for keeping things as they are and for Matrix developers to consider adding a toned down version of extreme assault so as to find something in between that may possibly even make things that more realistic for the players. It appears that 1.02 assault has been to easy/automatic and extreme assault to hard. Both unrealistic in their own way. I don't believe having a toned down version would be to hard to create or to hard for players to absorb if they had the choice of possibly even three different assault rules. That might be a fantastic tool to have since we all know assaulting is a huge part of this game.
