"There will be a JULY UPDATE!
The RANDOM MAP and DEATHMATCH game modes will have unique map pools.
A new PREFERRED MAP option lets you prioritize one map over others.
Here’s how it will work:
- The game will try to match you with someone else who shares that preference.
- If one player has a map preference and the other doesn’t, you will be matched on the preferred map.
- If neither player has a preference, a random map will be selected from the pool of available maps.
- Use your voice to help determine which maps show up in the ranked pool(s).
- You can check out the first rotation which happened yesterday!
- With the option, all picks in a given match will be randomized, not just an individual’s pick.
Which will include:
- Three new profile icons!
- A solid gold statue!
- Visual mod for houses!
