Here is a list of what was addressed in this update:

• Fixed voice issue with new players joining Player Match games in progress
• Players can now get the Achievement for "Dish Best Served Cold" when using Troika turret to kill RAAM
• Fixed rare situation where host could loop countdown and never start match
• Fixed rare situation where players could get stuck after chainsawing in multiplayer
• Reduced Grenade Tag melee distance
• Enabled “Strict” NAT check on host to prevent possible connection issues
• Optimized server browser queries to return results more quickly and prevent scroll bars from hiding quality of service icons
• Reduced number of possible revives in Execution to match Warzone
• Removed host name from Ranked match server browser
• Disabled security cameras in Ranked matches
• Ranked matches now require balanced teams (3v3 or 4v4)
• Increased penalty for quitting a Ranked match to -50 points

Damn I didn't understand the part bout Ranked Matches til now. So basically now you can't get together with anyone you know to play ranked matches, unless you randomly end up in the same room, right? That sucks if thats the case, cuze I only liked playin Ranked Matches wit cats I know, that way I know they won't bounce out in the middle of the match and shit. I wonder since they said teams have to be evenly matched, if that has to do with during the game too. For example like if 2 players leave one team and its 2 vs. 4, how is that gonna work. But I guess they got those penalities for people leavin early, and they say teams have to be completly even now so maybe it will work out. Fuck it, it is what it is, time to beef it up.

if someone quits on your team it will say u got disconnected until someone from the other team quits. i played like 3 times and thats what happened, it did that and when it came back 1 person from each team was gone

Raven Down is a very small, cramped map. I love it, you get into the action very quickly, and as far as I can tell, no sniper or bow or boomshot anywhere.

Old Bones is spread out, there's a lot of good hiding spots in there, seems like it's more suited to snipers and all that.
