According to a recent article in EGM, Treyarch is focused on crafting immersive environments, adding new effects like:
- Interactive foliage (e.g. grass remains flattened when walked over)
- Scorch marks left from grenades
- Surface-specific reactions to bullets
- Destructible cover
- Wind-altered smoke (from smoke grenades)
- Smoke clinging to tanks
- Bullets manipulating smoke clouds
