Notes
- Future heroes (and presumably maps) will be free content to all players once they’re patched in, not paid DLC
- Music slider/toggle option will be available soon
- Background sound (plays when game is minimized) option will be available soon
- In-game “killfeed” has been discussed internally and is a feature planned for the future
- New objective score for defending team and other updates coming to end-of-game card/commendation system
- Scoreboard will remain largely the same
- Will refine “fire” system to “understand who’s performing at a really high level in the map”
- Kill Cam auto-skip option available in future
