We have been working hard on implementing 'Quality Of Life' improvements and things like this take-up a lot of research and feedback we received throughout the year. We have been getting responses about how we only provide content and very few quality related updates, so we are changing that. That is why we are writing this announcement. We will give more information with updates very soon. Please note, This is an update which will be coming out in multiple patches.
When we will be adding the Quality of Life updates, we’ll announce the update coming in December/January soon, which will consist of the next major operation.
Features Added Thus Far
Server Browser
The Server Browser has helped massively with improved matchmaking. Now, you're finally getting that ability to play with randoms or specific players.
Reporting Bugs and players
We added a feature for reporting players and bugs where players don't have to manually send reports using discord anymore. This is out as our first iteration and is something that will improve over time. We also have plans to implement a report bug system and a possible replay system and possibly make it public where you can share your replays with others.
Planned Updates
Anti-cheat
This is something we’ve been researching since the beginning. Through this, we have found that the Denuvo Anti-cheat would best cater to our needs. Their quality and services are beneficial to the game greatly and will make the players have a much better online experience in Zero Hour. The Anti-Cheat update will be coming out in the next upcoming patches. We will be releasing more information soon.
To clear any confusion, we added a FAQ for players who has any questions: When does the anti-cheat install? When Quick-match multiplayer is accessed Does it start with my computer? No, starts and stops with the game Will it make the game slower? No, we did extensive profiling and found no differences Can I remove it? Yes, uninstall it from add/remove program files any time
Polishing Gameplay
This could be an improvement from working on animations to smoother movement and better control to fixing bugs that stayed in the beginning. We plan on fixing these issues in the next update.
New and improved Training Ground
One of the biggest elements we lack now is the ability to teach new players the Important fundamentals of gameplay before they get in the match. This is why we are working on a whole new training ground with a new kill-house and a whole new tutorial section. We also have plans on making this squad-based where you can get in with your fellow teammates, giving this ability to players will give them benefits if they play in the game.

Next Operation:
In our next operation, we have plans to add squad AI where players can have AI teammates (This is still in the research phase and we will soon update on this feature in later announcements), including new maps, guns, etc. Some of the new weapons planned are:
SKS
P10C
HONEYBADGER
FN FAL
MK14
