1.22.1 - Weather and Rewards introduce additional rewards when playing consecutive days, stunning new weather settings, faster matchmaking and bug fixes!

We have added Bonus Rewards for playing every day! You can find them in the Daily Rewards section.
Simply complete a match every day and reap all the rewards!*

Get 17.000 Warfunds, 1 Day of Veteran Membership and up to 35.000 Credits each week!!



The battlefield is now looking better than ever! Look up into the sky and you will see the celestial bodies are now clearly visible and we have added new, better looking weather settings!



As always, let us know what you think!

We have reduced the maximum time a match can span to 60 minutes in order to further optimize our matchmaker and as a result improve your experience. You will now find matches much faster while keeping the game more fun and matches better paced.

When we look at the matches going into overtime and players find themselves in a stalemate, everyone becomes a lot more passive. Ultimately the match ends up stalemating and players start leaving.

We want to avoid players disconnecting from the match and for the attackers to stay on the offensive after capturing an objective to keep the gameplay interesting for everybody and the matchmaker popping!

We have remade animations and added a bit more cover to the gunners of US Recon’s M20 Armored Utility Car and T8E1 Stuart Recce.



We also tweaked the level of detail on many objects in order to improve performance, looks and included a bunch of bug fixes!


Enjoy!

The Development Overview board provides an overview of what projects are currently in development at RETO MOTO, so you as players of Heroes & Generals can see what we are working on.

The overview lists both the player-facing projects we are doing such as new content, features and maps. But it also shows the projects that are happening behind the scenes. Development projects you as a player may never even notice, but they are necessary to do to keep the game going.

The Development Overview is a living thing. Projects grow, transform, split into new ones or change all together as we work on them. Sometimes you might even see a project moving backwards in development if we find out something needs to be reworked.
Our current development projects are sorted into three basic sections based on where they are in our development cycle – early to final development.

This provides an indication of how far along in development a given project is.

The individual projects on the Development Overview vary in size and as such there can be a huge difference as to how long a project remains in one section or another.

The Development Overview also gives you an insight into what project we have chosen to put on hold, which are in test and projects released since the overview was last updated.

The Development Overview will be updated on a monthly basis.

Cheers!
