Because it plays more ''faster'' and instead of stupid shooting you now have to do some thinking as well, and it's really nice that all known exploits have been fixed.

OK...lame jokes aside, I think it's cool that moronic kids with no skill can't standby anymore. I don't feel great about nades being more powerful since I'm acclimated to how they are now, and will have to adjust (not to mention that kid I chase down has a lot easier time catching me with one). As far as the weapon tonedowns, I can't tell much.
Toodles!
Oh, and why would you want the update if you dont play on live? It only affects online play.

I like it. It feels smoother and a single wielder has more of a chance.

I personally like it, the BR is more accurate which is good because its my favorite gun, and the grenades are flippin awesome with their shorter fuse, and their strenght increase...makes the game seem more realistic

i like the shotgun alot better..the br is better now...and i like the more powerful grenades......i DONT like the grenade fuse time, or the magnum reduction, or the fact that they left the biggest n00b combo in the game, BR/PP

I really like the game better now, if you get spawned and there aren't any weapons around, you have your granades (which can actually kill people now) so you still stand a chance. In fact, a lot of times, i'll avoid dual weilding just because the grenades are such a great weapon now. I like how they've balanced the weapons out a lot. the only thing I don't like is the pistol now. They shoud've left that alone.

I hate it
cons
I like that stand bying is ALmost gone
( I had a very weird experience where I think a guy on my team was stand bying )
the noob combo is just too strong , play seems buggy in general
and the shotty is so weak / inaccurate
pro s
grenades
and battle riffle
