Welcome to the debriefing, soldiers.
Don't forget to read the Beta Forum rules, here:

What is the purpose of this open Beta?
As you know, we already have a closed Beta for Northern Strike which includes this 1.2 version. This open Beta is being made publicly available so you can check out the fixes while stress testing the new version.
What does 1.2 change?
I've included a list of changes below:
• Added correct flag for Czech Republic.
• Fixed PDS-1 sonar system interference with UAV. Soldiers are now shown correctly on UAV when PDS-1 is activated.
• Heal and repair points awarded after a 50% heal/repair instead of 100% heal/repair.
• Fixed tracking of hours with the medic hub in BFHQ. They should now be shown correctly.
• Fixed Squad leader drone exploit. Removed the possibility to use drones as a stairway to heaven.
• Fixed Rorsch crosshair misalignment. The crosshair should now be correct while unzoomed.
• Out of bounds now immediately kills after 15 seconds instead of doing gradual damage over 15 seconds. This prevents exploits using the out of bounds area.
• APM:s always set to “ Friendly fire off” on ranked servers. Increases consistency and prevents misunderstanding.
• Fixed an exploit using the reactor core door.
• The correct message is now shown when trying to join a full server.
• Fixed crash when placing Squad Leader Spawn Beacon.
• Added server side option to prevent Titan Movement.
• Added optimization to Titan mode to reduce lag.
Why was the change I wanted not included in 1.2 (such as kit layout saves, etc.)?
As you can see this patch involved a lot of fixes, and did not focus on feature changes (although there were a few). We are aware of the features you would like added (I'd like them, too!) and hopefully you will see them implemented soon. Just as a side note, you'll notice that many of the changes are for issues you reported! Thank you all again for your help and dedication.
