Controversial gameplay changes to a game whose playerbase is decreasing... not good.. - by lost_soul

Anyone else play Tremulous? I've been playing it for years, and the long-awaited 1.2 is almost here. Some of the changes are less than stellar though. I love the addition of VOIP, but the aliens' health has been decreased, as has their regeneration speed! Other benefits have also been removed, like the ability to trample and claw a human player simultaneously ):. (one of my favorites!)
Are these types of changes ever good for an online game? I would have loved to see some new features like the ability to possess a human player and use them to attack their buddies, but that sort of thing doesn't seem on the radar.

You ask if those types of changes are ever good for MP games and your answer will always and forever be: who fucking knows? Practically every multiplayer game ever is a special case all its own; Counterstrike players flipped their shit over the most trivial of changes while the TF2 playerbase is a bit more levelheaded.
