I'm definitely noticing different sounds from some guns and Sparrows.

Ahh yeah, and they sound great! I think the surround sound panning is more noticeable as well. Not sure if every sound is now directional, or if they're just more extreme, but even on my sparrow I can hear it changing left to right as I rotate the camera now.

I don't love the new sound of Better Devils. It's one of my most used guns, but what can you do?

- Vault: Default sort is now a functional sort that groups guns of the same name together. A welcome change. The other sorts are still blah and custom sorts aren't a thing. Also, does the vault still have to be small so the Xbox 360 and PS3 players can keep playing? That statement rings less true every time I think about it.

- UI: I think I was the only person annoyed that the challenge list wouldn't come up if you'd just earned glimmer during patrol mode. Well, that's been fixed! Unfortunately, the glimmer display doesn't fade out when the challenge list appears, so they overlap which hinders reading.

The overlapping UI does not feel like much of an improvement to me. If they were going to overlap, go ahead and have the thing I invoke be frontmost, not the thing I have no control over. I assure you you were nowhere NEAR the only person bothered by that.
I don't think anyone is saying that the vault size is due to last gen consoles in D2. That was a D1 thing. I thought that the vault size did increase for D2 compared to D1, but they took out a lot of kiosks so that more than made up for it by adding more pressure on the vault?
