I agree, this wasn't a pathfinding fix at all. Most of the path fiding issues are map related, with the biggest offender being those god damn capture point flag poles. Why those things need to be a world object is beyond me. Just remove the damn things or make vehicles able to drive through them.
It's already been done in a mod,(among other fantastic changes in this mod, seriously just implement all of these already.) and would easily fix so many of the frustrating pathing issues in this game.

The Pathing change won't be reverted, but making improvements to the Pathing is being looked at. I don't have an ETA, Sorry.
Glorious, this change only took more control AWAY from the players, under the assumption that they were too terrible at the game to press the reverse hotkey before issuing a move command. Way to completely miss the real problem guys.
