VFX

Significantly lowered emissive values on machine gun bullets.

Improved tracer effects for shotgun, rifle and machinegun.

Improved look to spark-related emitter components for muzzle flashes and blackbox explosions.

Fixed 'wind-streaks' for all upward-booster effects.

SFX

Adjusted explosion sound effects to reduce low frequency lingering resonances. Missile sounds are now created at the exact location of the explosion. Proximity mine sound effects are now created at the exact location of the mine. Bot damage sound effects have had a lot of attention for Skirmish mode this month too.

A couple last updates to round out March: Garage ambiance and garage mechanical arms now do not play on the loading screen.
