Speaking as someone who (mostly) plays police - I have mixed opinions on the subject.

For one, I do not think the issue of "police losing everytime" was as acute as it is portrayed here. I've seen plenty of situations where a well-coordinated police&SWAT/SRU force has successfully won, even in so-called doomforts. It is a matter of timing, planning, skill and communication.

That being said, it is true that before these changes, the criminal forces did in fact have an undue advantage. While I approve of the changes in principle, IMO some specific changes are - while well-intended - will be counter-productive in the long term. I'll write down a shortlist of changes I am reasonaby critical of:

1) No shooting from rooftops - the rule states that this gives an unfair advantage. I do not understand what sort of unfair advantage that could give - police and SWAT can use the M14 if they have purchased it, and the SWAT armory itself has sniper rifles. This means that even if any hostiles are on rooftops, government forces can more often than not engage them from relatively safe distances.

2) No more "tight" corridors - I approve of this rule in principle, because some bases really do have unfair corridors. However, it is absurd to put a limit of three people side by side - that means that practically the entire maximum government force can cross it in mere seconds. I would advocate for the limitation being two people instead.

Remember you can still have tight corridors that aren't in a firing line, three people wide is 8.5-9 blocks wide which isn't that bad

Spoiler :

I made a mock base with the black representing normal baseplates covered in invisible metal and white representing a one-way window with the big baseplate being an elevated shooting position. Also notice that I put a narrow corridor leading to the wider one which would be used as a firing line
