A cross-gen, connected experience New Weapons: With plenty of nefarious goods, such as weapons like the EX1 Assault Rifle at Tier 15 and the RA 225 SMG at Tier 31, you’ll be able to do a lot more harm than good.One of the more subtle additions to multiplayer is the ability for players to select Combat Pacing. This reduces or increases the number of players within the core multiplayer modes including light through Tactical, medium for Assualt and Blitz if players want as many players as possible. Though this works to better personalize player experiences in regards to the density of players, it seems this wasn’t taken into consideration in regards to the actual maps themselves. Playing with Combat Pacing toggled all settings means that players might randomly fall into a smaller map with a lot of players. This means that players will die within seconds of spawning. On the flip side, larger maps with a smaller player size can become slow as players search for the next firefight.
