I believe the engine is perfect. GH3 suffered from many obvious faults. GH1 is one of the most fun engines, but overall it is not balanced. GH2 was near perfect, but it was sometimes a bit too unforgiving, and the fast strumming is messed up on NTSC. Metallica allows you to hit solos fairly, and the fast strumming is the best out of any engine, and the most fair. The engine feels just slightly looser than GH2, just enough so that you can FC parts on sightread, but also not too loose that you can BS a part.

Harmonix games are just too good not to play them for 8 years. Officially back in action.

I can't really go into too much detail, but after checking into it...

* Minor fixes were made to slider (purple/gray) notes. They should play the same as regular hammer-ons now.
* Rapid note timing was tightened up. If anything , this should have made the game harder, not easier, since it requires you to strum to the pattern more exactly.

That's pretty much it. Nothing major at all.
You guys need to cut off a finger or something.

Ah, I could definitely tell the strumming engine was tightened up a bit. You could be way ahead of the beat on GHWT and to a lesser extent on GH3, now it has that balance between 2 and 3.

I think something has changed from WT - I'm doing way better holding combo on long hopo runs, than I normally would on WT/RB2. Many times better.

I've only noticed the tightness of alt strumming sections. HOPO sections feel exactly the same.
