Game Modes
Killer Mode (new)
- New UI: shows the Killer’s health and the human score.
- Win conditions: humans win by killing the Killer or when the timer hits 0; the Killer wins when the human score reaches 0.

Rotation & Voting
- Added the “Battle” map to the map rotation.

Spectator
- When the person you’re spectating dies, the killer is shown for a few seconds and then it switches to spectate them (instead of free camera).
- If the person you’re spectating disconnects, it switches to another player (instead of free camera).
- When switching between players in spectator mode, the first- or third-person view is now preserved.
