Even without the event modifiers there's something completely off. Pre-changes it was fairly balanced and you could increase the difficulty with modifiers on your own. Now it starts off with everything being a bullet sponge and you taking massive damage - despite being at, what they claim, is a lower delta, than I used to play at (I would never play lower than -30 in the past). I'm convinced we're actually playing at -60 or something and seeing how everything els is bugged in the game it's not unlikely.
