It allows for dynamic destructible environments on vast battlefields including damage caused by the player, potentially resulting in game-changing scenarios and providing the player with an increased amount of freedom. Features like Emotion Capture, enhanced lighting, ambient physics and improved animations all further intensify the experience, allowing for more realistic characters and environments, visible in simple things like trees swaying in the wind.

Technical Artist Andy Klein talks about the addition of network water simulation allowing for dynamic ocean combat; for example, a jet crashing into the ocean causes waves, impacting objects on the water nearby. Higher audio fidelity also further improve immersion, whether you are charging through the explosive chaos of a battlefield with bullets whizzing past or just listening to ambient sounds.
