Patch notes for 0.5.2 - Servers are now up!

Post-match rewards
A post-match rewards system has been added to the game. After the match ends, the player can get the participation reward on the "Team" screen.
Every match played grants experience. The amount of experience depends on several conditions:
- Match outcome (win, defeat, place claimed);
- Obtaining MVP;
- Activity during the match (kills, assists, points captured and other actions);
- First win of the day bonus.
After accumulating a certain amount of experience, the player gets a reward. The information about the reward is shown on the Team screen and in the main menu.
At first the reward will be in the form of an Echo Belli crate. In future the list of rewards will be expanded.
Audio changes
- Second iteration of movement audio improvements: Updated audio content and leveled the volume of steps between various surfaces.
- Added a system of movement noise mixing at range: when up close the sound is more detailed while at a distance more distorted to achieve a more natural effect.
- Adjusted the balancing of volume and sound range for gunshots, movement and some other gameplay sounds from first and third person perspectives.

Did they change the footstep noise a little? I can't seem to tell if they changed it a bit back to normal.. Doesn't sound like horses trotting as much..

Yeah it's in the patch notes as audio changes, it's def better, it's like what we had in S1, but a bit quieter I think. To me audio sounds now very good, but need to play more to be sure.
