[Scootley]

Looks like it will be a great patch!

[BuRiN]

niceee!! thanks!!

[your evil twin]

Aw, only able to carry one two-handed weapon? I just started playing the game today, and I thought it refreshing that they allowed you to have both a rifle and a submachine gun. Ah well... everything else looks great though.

[Hazmat Mutant]

When you have submachine gun and rifle, its too easy and pistols are totally out.

Only one long weapon is very nice idea...

Love it,it wiil be more fairplay for every novice.

- Changed the algorithm for sending network messages about user : now the information about other users can only be sent at no more than 20 times per second . This change reduces the network traffic

Isn't this way too low? Only 20 tickrate?

tickrate - During each tick, the server processes incoming user commands, runs a physical simulation step, checks the game rules, and updates all object states. After simulating a tick, the server decides if any client needs a world update and takes a snapshot of the current world state if necessary. A higher tickrate increases the simulation precision, but also requires more CPU power and available bandwidth on both server and client.

The tickrate of a game server is a measure of how often a server will update the game world. For example, a server running with a tickrate of 33 will update the world 33 times a second. This may seem like a lot, but in precision games a higher tickrate is essential. The downside of tickrate however is that more bandwidth and CPU is consumed by the server, if you want a smooth server though a higher tickrate is essential.

Games like counter-strike have a minimum of 33 tickrate (33 updates per second) for 5v5 matches, and most 10v10 (and even competitive 5v5) matches need a 100 tickrate to be able to play them smoothly.
Battlefield 4 suffers of a low tickrate, just 10 times per second in 64 player servers, and it's really an unenjoyable situation.

"Now players can only take one two-handed weapon into battle"
Dislike..this is unrealistic!!

i used to carry only 1 weapon into battle, to reduce weight. this way i can sprint much longer and get back to action faster. it often decides about winning or losing a match, particularly in first minute's container rush

updates are looking great ! incredible pace by the programmers :)

[atti62]

Wuow nice patch ^^ , How much times for can play game today pls ?

[sartorpc]

Best patch ever, that 2 handed weapon limitation is great, keep the good work Vostok!! <3

[sorecte]

[BeanS0lo]

So try carry an assault rifle and pump action shotgun, **** ***. When you may use two two handed guns, pistols are not going to use, that is the point...
