• Added bb2_hard_scaling which enables a new scaling technique for Arena, Objective & Story mode, it relies on the average level of the players which is a good way to make the game more challenging depending on the average level in the game.

• Added a new handy texture proxy 'TeamLinkTexture' which can be used to only allow a certain team to see a certain texture.
  
• Player and Zombie spawn points now have a 'Master' option, enabling this will make the spawn act as a last resort, meaning you can spawn in it even if it is disabled, if no other checkpoint was found.

Code

• Rewrote the lag compensation logic for players and npcs, improved hit detection! (Disclaimer: Please let us know if anything feels a bit off with this new system!)
  
• Thanks to the new lag compensation logic there will be no more constant twitching/jitter back and forth, npcs and players would be affected by this due to the old lag compensation would move entities backwards in time, the new system does not need to physically make these changes. Expect a lot more fluid gameplay in PvE based maps.

• Fixed server tags not being loaded properly.
  
• Added bb2_zombie_kills_required which will allow server owners to set how many kills a player should get before being allowed to respawn as a human. Setting bb2_allow_mercy and bb2_zombie_kills_required to 0 will make you a zombie forever once you turn.
  
• Local servers will no longer load dev, donator, tester, etc.. tags.
  

• zombie_volume using the SF_FASTSPAWN flag will now use a smaller hull when tracing for available space in the volume, since they will now spawn upright instead of lying down.

• Humans will no longer take damage from the M1A1 turret.
  

• Added new Famas textures, thanks to El Negro.
  
• Fixed a bug in the weapon selection when hud_fastswitch was enabled, it would ignore the key presses (1-4), the mouse wheel could still be used to swap weapons though.

• Fixed melee attack trace hull.
  

• Added the 'Black Dude' zombie version for Pantsman.

• Added countdown announcer voices in Deathmatch mode. (timeleft)
  

• Optimized the zombie_volume entity.
  
• zombie_volume can now be set to insta-spawn zombies, skip the fade-in phase, this feature is handy if you want to spawn the zombies in a closed off room where you know the survivors won't be able to peek into.
  
• The zombie_volume and npc_auto_spawner entities now support a direct implementation of the aiscripted_schedule entity, you can specify if the spawning entity should automatically follow a route or pursue some target on spawn.

• You will now receive 10% of your total XP needed when completing quest objectives / side objectives.
