Indie development studio Bulkhead Interactive has released the first mid season update for its shooter game Battalion 1944. The update is already available on live servers.

The update is the first mid season update following the season update four weeks ago and includes several noteworthy changes for both casual and competitive players.

The most significant change for competitive players is the introduction of the new smoke effect that is said to improve blocking of crucial information to prevent opponent advances. The new smoke now also prevents players from rotating their camera to turn the edges of smoke to see through it.
