"Ill have some more information for you, but damage mitigation was pulled out for everyone and not just commandos.

It was game breaking and what's going is a larger combat balance. The HAM, specials, damage mods and everything is getting tweaked over the next 60 days and its going to be pushed out in stages. We had hoped to have the neat HAM recovery feature out in this publish, but it made all combat way too easy and based on internal feelings and Test Center comments, we pulled it until the next publish.

Ill be sitting down with a lead dev either tonight or tomorrow and going over all of the details and Ill post it ASAP. "


If my english is good enough to understand it correctly, this means that Damage mitigation is not coming right now, and if it comes it will be coming with some other major changes.

On a similar note, I think they also revoked the new HAM system from Testcenter.
