Update 518: Purple Halberd

Some menu changes have made it easier to drop into matches and simpler to understand the region selection. We've also added some gameplay QoL changes as well. Some of our changes that would have otherwise gone out with the weekly patch came out earlier as hotfixes this past week to address issues that were affecting gameplay (see previous updates for details). Most of those issues seemed to have been resolved, but we're still looking at some other edge cases we would like to fix before moving back to features.

• Normalized audio in Barbed wire sound assets (made them louder)

• Fix non-shotgun guns not reloading if holding down reload too long
