		+	Causeways is making a comeback. Long-time followers of our on-goings may keenly remember that a concept for this level was undergoing BETA testing but didnât just make it to release due to its sheer size. Weâve gone back and revisited the map to bring the engagement closer.

		+

		+
		+	It is quite the undertaking for our rather small development team and there's a lot that needs doing but our sights are still set on releasing the update this year and to this date, things are still very much on schedule.
		+
		+	Hereâs a little something for your eyes to feast upon.

		+	===Game Balance===
		+	* Players are no longer able to use buildable ammo boxes and rocket stacks to block pathways.
		+	* Player-built ammo boxes and rocket stacks are now destructible.
		+	* Similar to other melee weapons, you will now find yourself killed within a single strike if someone lands a hit on you with a flag while youâre reloading a firearm.

		+	:Â» rc <Command 1>;<Command 2>;<Command 3>;...
		+	:Â» rc broadcast Form a line!; set characterRunSpeed 5
		+	* Server administrators are now able to prevent players from shooting with firearms through an rc command. Youâll certainly find a use for this when a melee all charge is issued during events.
		+	:Â» Keep in mind that rc commands persist through rounds. If a command is enabled in one round it must be manually disabled on the next by setting it to false.
		+	:Â» rc set allowFiring <true or false>
		+	:Â» rc set allowFiring false
		+	* Server administrators are now able to delay the application of a particular rc command to a specific time. For instance, you could set ârc delayed 300 broadcast All Charge!â to kick in at the 5-minute mark followed by a command to prevent players from firing during the charge by issuing ârc delayed 300 set allowFiring falseâ.
		+	:Â» Keep in mind that rc commands can also be inputted in the server configuration file per map rotation.
		+	:Â» rc delayed <Time To Be Issued> <Command>
		+	:Â» rc delayed 300 broadcast All Charge!
		+	:Â» rc delayed 300 set allowFiring false
		+

		+	* Solved an exception that occurred when a player requested to auto-join a round.

		+
		+	===Bug Fixes===
