•    Players will now be penalized for crashing their aircraft, leaving the battlefield and being shot down by opponents in Team Battle and Battle Royale modes
•    Players can now gain points by damaging enemy aircraft rather than making a complete kill in Team Battle and Battle Royale modes
•    Players will now be invulnerable for a brief period of time after each respawn
•    The overall strength of each special weapon has been updated for greater gameplay balance
•    Players can now identify who is speaking in the pre-game lobby with a microphone icon next to their GamerTag
