Hey Everyone,

• Added ELO ranking system
  -ELO is now distributed to all players at the end of a round, and your ELO ranking & current rank can be viewed from the "Perks and Customization" screen
  
• Optimized performance as amount of players increases
  -Previously, all player animators and IK ran every frame, regardless of how far away they were from you, or whether they were even on-screen. This change should help CPU-limited systems.
  
• Player avatar picture in the "Perks and Customization" screen now grabs your Steam avatar
  
• Added in-game basic settings options
  
• Left-click now throws a rock/other throwable item that you're holding
  
• Menu UI no longer pops up after death in a round
  
• Local footstep sounds (from your player) are now softer
  
• Added new accuracy penalty for moving whilst shooting
  -This penalty is multiplicative, and based off the guns natural ADS accuracy. For instance, snipers are affected much more from this change than guns like the Vityaz.
  
• New accuracy penalty for shooting when out of stamina
  -This adds a bit of risk to the "bunnyhop" gunfight style
  
• Grenades now display a message showing how far away from you they've landed
  
• Grenades now have stickier physics materials,
  -This makes it easier to predict where your grenade will stop moving, previously they could bounce anywhere

• Fog no longer affects visibility of the Playable Area dome
  
• Various stamina system bugfixes
  
• Improved Fist hitdetection
  
• Various AI improvements
  
• Fixed overexposure
  
• Decreased aggressive culling distance at the U.S. Base
  
• Decreased pop-in on lower graphics settings

Hey Everyone,

• Added scope sway
  -Snipers in Down To One were a bit too powerful up until now, this change should make landing multiple shots in a short amount of time much harder

• Improved SSAO visuals
  
• Slightly decreased base brightness in day mode

  -Lower ambient light, higher bloom sensitivity, thicker fog, and closer depth of field are just some of the things you'll notice as different in the night.
  
• Added Night-Vision Goggles
  -Only spawning in Night Mode, the NVGs are a useful tool while moving around, but will get in the way if you try to scope or aim in with them on.
