These are the live fixes and upcoming fixes. Currently the actual gameplay stuff is not listed but I think what they have should be top priority due to it being more simple fixes that don't require a title update. We will do our best to keep this thread updated.

[[WPC] call me warrior]

somethings that need fixed are the shooting delays and how bullets will follow you around a corner, you can take off around a corner and somehow the bullets are still hitting you even without the 2nd perk

That has to do with the lag on the server. The connection has gotten much better the past couple days and is an in progress fix above

Spawns aren't something that is a quick fix like these things.

They are fixing problems that are preventing ppl from even playing. This list will udpate... give it time.
