I know we have been a little quiet over the summer but it has been that way because we have been working super hard on the new Battle Royale mode. Check out the list of changes for this new build:
- All new Battle Royale Mode! Fight with up to 60 other players on a 9km square map!
- New UI/HUD.
- New lighting for many of the levels.
- New obstacle course (orange blocks) around teh training base starting area of Battle Royale mode.
- Improved crowd control in Battle Royale to try to group more players together.
- Added plastic crash test dummy in football field to kick around. Right click to kick. Hold right kick for stronger kick.
- Added top 6 results to end of Battle Royale. If they leave they do not show in the results.
- Selection of regular War Brokers or War Brokers: Battle Royale when starting
- Fixed reloading of heavy ammo (RPG, Grenade launcher, Mini-gun).
- Tweaking of shotgun damage. Each pellet was reduced from 42 damage to 32 damage. There are 9 pellets in a shotgun blast and head shots do 2x damage. So 576 max damage if all pellets hit the head. 288 max damage if all pellets hit the body. One shot kill if three pellets hit the head and the rest hit the body. The shotgun may be tweaked further after more testing and we look at the data.
- Fix buffer overflow causing 3 servers to restart over the weekend.
- Fixed pressing ENTER to chat. Now you do not have to hit enter twice to get into chat! Rejoice! :-)
- Make red death zone ring taller. Now when you are on a mountain top you can actually see the edge of the red zone.
- Make how to exit the airplane in BR mode clear for new users.
- New Team Balancing - Teams are now balanced by game ELO as opposed to previous matches K/D ratio.
- Numerous other small bug fixes.
