• Reduced number of possible revives in Execution to match Warzone
• Removed host name from Ranked match server browser
• Disabled security cameras in Ranked matches
• Ranked matches now require balanced teams (3v3 or 4v4)

Sweet. Better comms and shorter grenade tag distances will make the games alot more fun. Are the new maps single or multi-player?
I would think it's multiplayer. Usually updates don't affect campaign mode.
Thats what I thought too, but the commentary left on the site paints the picture of a single player or campaign scenario. It better be multiplayer or Im gonna be pissed.
That would be the ultimate bitch slap if it wasn't multiplayer.
It has to be multiplayer because we all be the game and the new levels would have to pick up where the game left off.
And I know their game programmers wouldn't be stupid enough to add levels within the past storyline.
Nova can attest to this update feature:
Enabled “Strict” NAT check on host to prevent possible connection issues
