Global Operations

The initial Global Operations release rewards for damage done were set too high, resulting in extremely high rewards from Global Operations matches. To bring the Global Operations income per unit of time to the standard PvP level as was intended, we have reduced the rewards for doing damage to enemy vehicles by 20 percent. Other rewards (for capturing objectives etc.) remain unchanged.

• Performed an optimization pass to increase Global Operations performance
• Fixed the issue with several missing textures on the Desert Crossing map
• Fixed a large number of small texture issues on the Desert Crossing map
• Fixed the issue where the game incorrectly displayed the AI opponent as the killer every time
• Fixed a large number of collision models, which caused vehicles getting stuck on terrain
• Fixed the issue where the flat bed trailers in H4 sector became invisible when damaged
• Fixed the issue where the player did not sometimes spawn correctly when his vehicle had been destroyed before his game finished loading
• Changed the positioning of a large number of small objects around the map
• Players will no longer be penalized if the Pillboxes they deployed damage allied vehicles

Please note that the maintenance can be extended beyond the abovementioned timeframe. We apologize for the inconvenience.
