Hey guys,
We have looked into this and indeed you are accurate sexykick, and the others who have reported this. This is a bug and unfortunate oversight.
However, that said, this particular balance change was very minor and does not impact the overall balance changes in any significant way. It was more of a finesse change and its not something which really gives Nod an advantage or disadvantage.
As of right now, we do not plan to hot-fix this because it is not an extreme fix or exploit. It will be absolutely be spotlighted for Patch 1.10. If these plans change or we find later after the patch has been played a lot that it is making a huge difference, we will consider a hot-fix.
I want to turn your attention to this thread which we feel is one of the best threads yet on Patch 1.09. It should help a lot of you out, and a lot of you understand the changes.

It sounds like most people are still stuck with their old habits which was to be expected and they're struggling because of it. Once people start understanding how the game has changed and following this advice above I think it looks like people will be pretty happy with the patch.
This is just some great advice we've seen so far.
Thanks and apologies for the beam cannon bug, we confessor...good catch sexy kick
