Combat rework and battleground pacing

The current combat system is described as being struck out in favor of a more dynamic and more exciting direction. The developers connect this change to the broader goal of making the game feel better to play moment to moment.

A battleground prototype called Morningstar is referenced as an earlier rough version that felt extremely abrupt, compared to an early-2000s shooter with instant kills. The newer direction is described as more modern and more properly paced.
