RANKED UPDATES

Reset This reset is lighter

More CP for a high kill count

Currently, the first three kills earn you roughly 100% of the points. The next three kills are now only around 80%, and the next around 20%. We are changing this system so that each squad is worth around 20% less, while maintaining a minimum of 20%. So winning teams with a lot of eliminations will have between 40 and 60 CP more.
