NEW mode: Cube Command!
There is one energite cube in the map. All players can see it. Any player who possesses the cube gains points, dropping the token if killed. All players can see the carrier (there’s nowhere to hide). The cube deals damage to the carrier, so possession time is limited. There are no repair pickups in this mode, and no repair equipment is allowed.
This is a super chaotic and fun mode where fortunes change rapidly during play. It will be available on the following maps: Hot Dam, Eagle’s Nest, Ghost Town.
NEW map: Eagle’s Fall
The evil Dark Jaw has broken through the walls of Eagle’s Nest and set up camp. This variant on the Eagle’s Nest map is 30% of the original map size and suitable for smaller groups of players. It features an irregular shape, new ramps and walls. Shoutout to player Muddy for suggesting we provide map variants.
Increased controller support.
90% of the game’s menus will work with a controller (Xbox-compatible preferred) in this update. Our ultimate goal is full controller support.
Improved splitscreen experience.
Players in a splitscreen group are not disbanded after playing (the group is maintained).
Stack the odds!
Game hosts can deliberately imbalance teams, e.g. two humans versus six bots. There is still a maximum of twelve total players in a game.
Spawn changes.
Vehicles will spawn with all cooldowns already in effect. This is a significant balance change for equipment with long cooldowns. Vehicles will spawn with a brief repair boost already in effect. This will mitigate being attacked immediately upon spawn.
Rejoin your team.
If you leave a team game and return, you are placed back on your original team if there's room. Bots are bumped out in favor of humans.
Hidden passwords
In the Host Options screen, you can now enter your own password (20-character limit), and it is hidden with stars, e.g. *********. This will help streamers who want to host passworded games while streaming. Feature suggestion from Ic3m4n.
Voice over added to Point Capture
If Point Capture goes into "sudden death," your team leader (Val Vega or Dark Jaw) will tell you to get on the point!
