I think i've heard the gunshot sound in the new patch (on high settings), but it was much more quiter (like a "normal" gunshot) and sounded a little bit different/out of place.

I hate squad wipes as much as everyone, but the reasoning given by Relic was the following:

If squads are out in the open, they don't bunch up. As soon as you try to put them in cover, especially if the available "spots" (preview while mouseover) are only a few, no matter if yellow or green, the models get closer to each other.

While I would love to see grens turned into a 5-man squad, this change would actually require a NERF to overall grenadier squad DPS to keep balance. Currently the only reason conscripts can beat grenadiers is because of the fact that they have more men. At close range, a grenadier model has higher DPS than conscript DPS by quite an amount. Increasing gren squad size to 5 and spreading the DPS across all the models will make it impossible for a 5-man conscript squad to win the fight (losses taken from closing). Even a 6-man squad would have considerable troubles.

If you add a 5-th man, the grens need to have an overall lower DPS than than they had 4-men to make sure that the increased TTK (time to kill) for allied squads doesn't give the grens a much higher advantage, since they have better DPS.

People expect others to play with a certain degree of dignity and self-respect - which you have completely failed to do by intentionally abusing a known bug.

Justifying this by saying 'oh but everyone else is abusing bugs as well' is nothing short of moronic. If you see someone else behaving like a fucking dickwad, or perhaps committing an act of theft, or rioting, or larceny, or murder, you are not obliged to follow in his lead in any way should you even have a spark of intelligent thought and self-control residing in your head. The fact that you even bother to justify your behaviour with this appallingly stupid argument beggars belief.
