[ GAMEPLAY ]

- Tagging (movement slowdown when hit) has changed.

-- Tagging is now slightly cumulative. Damaging someone in quick succession will apply slightly more tagging and slow them down more (to a point).

-- Your currently held weapon now determines how much you are tagged when getting hit. How much you are tagged depends on the weapon's "Mobility" value. The higher the Mobility value, the less you will get tagged when hit.

-- Unified tagging values when shooting people in different parts of the body.

-- Players now get tagged slightly (based on the weapon they're holding) when they take HE blast damage.

-- All weapons have updated tagging values.

- All SMGs now have ~20% more armor penetration.

- Some movement affecting server values have changed (sv_stopspeed increased to 80, sv_accelerate decreased to 5.5, sv_friction increased to 5.2).

- Fixed players getting stopped by teammate's "in flight" grenades.

- Players who are hit by grenades "in flight" that were thrown by the other team now take a small amount of impact damage.

- Slightly increased size and contrast of most impact decals to increase impact readability.

- Impact and blood particle effects have changed slightly to improve impact readability.
