Examples of this include changes to the particles, smoke, air blasts, and muzzle flashes. A scope interaction has been added as well, which makes each shot that much more realistic.
A lot of actions, like parachuting for example, have also been polished in order to offer a more realistic experience. This upcoming update is also putting in improvements to texture quality and lighting systems to make sure that the mobile experience is truly top notch. With these changes, players can now see their reflections in the water, among other technical improvements.
