Sure, it's "smoother" since there are fewer things to do with many abilities cut or their damage incorporated elsewhere (ie flachette round), but in terms of actual, fun mechanics the current iteration is a million miles behind what it was a year ago (and don't get me started about before that when we lost the benefits of cover).
Are the numbers good? I have no clue, it's too early to say yet with the expansion. But how many more things should the specs lose for the sake of playing "smooth", whatever that might mean?
