A new update has arrived bringing fixes, gameplay improvements, better sound effects, and a brand new prestige system!
Prestige System
The highlight in this update is the next step on our roadmap: the new prestige system! When our veteran players reach level 100, they can now choose to increase their prestige rank. This earns a new icon emphasizing their veteran status. Then, while keeping all accumulated XP, their player level is set back to one, along with resetting their unlocks and squad roles specialization. They can then level up to 100 again… and there is more than one prestige rank to unlock for the truly dedicated!
More updates
Of note are better selection of multiplayer game hosts, several sound improvements, and adjusted sights on the P17, Lewis and BAR to make them less obstructing. A few other key changes in this update are:
- Determining the match host will now also take ping variance into account.
- The game will switch to a better host quicker.
- Optimized rendering of first person view.
- Standing in a fire isn't healthy anymore, affected maps: Flanders, Champagne.
- Slightly higher slope limit to prevent getting stuck walking at certain spots.
- A range of sound changes.
- AFK check will no longer kick after 3+ minutes of spectating as that time (and other cases such as start/end of match) is no longer considered by the AFK counter.
- Peep sight edits for P17, Lewis and BAR. Their sights are now smaller and less obstructing.
- ...and more!
