Stability

Weapons
- Sniper and SOFLAM scope glints now show from a further distance
Vehicles
- Fixed an issue where passenger weapons would no longer be in sync whenever the driver’s turret would rotate, causing bullets to not register when firing at enemies
- M1A5, T28 - improved the effective range and reduced spread on Canister Weapon Pod
- Reduced Bullet Spread from 1.6 -> 1.1
- Increased Damage Fall Off Distance from 35 -> 40
Battlefield Hazard Zone
- Fixed a black rectangle being present on screen during Hazard Zone end of round when hitting quit at the level progress screen
Battlefield Portal

- Fixed an issue where text would overlap when joining a Team Deathmatch game during the end of round sequence
- Rules Editor - the “IsInventorySlotActive†value now correctly handles melee weapons
- Certain admin commands can no longer be spammed
DICE is also changing how you will progress Mastery and Weekly Missions between created experiences. What you are able to earn in each experience "will now be determined by which modifiers you use, and whether the Rules Editor, Damage/Health modifiers, or AI are enabled."
Other improvements are planned for Portal for later updates. These include a UI indicator showing if a created mode will have any Progression restrictions.
In case you missed it, DICE is also working on implementing a scoreboard with the future Update 3.3 set to arrive by late February. However, features like VOIP, while still "on the radar" won't be implemented just yet.
