I played a full operation last night, and the game feels much better. I think the Adjudicator AR may be my go-to primary now (I was punching through everything smaller than a charger no problem) and the thermite grenades are amazing against chargers and titans. I feel like I can get much more creative with my loadout without handicapping myself now, which is exciting.
Also, the new orbital napalm barrage is hilariously OP (I can't believe I'm saying this, but it probably should be nerfed a bit...) but wow it's spectacular. Your capital ship rains literal fire on a massive area for about 20 seconds, it's glorious.
We were a duo and still got our shit kicked in trying to extract, but I think that was part goofing around, part being rusty after not playing for months. Great impressions of this update so far.
