New tutorial and game start. The tutorial is now split into parts, allowing users to get in-game faster and apply the acquired knowledge as they need it.
Also it is more immersive and allows adding tutorials for new features without bloating the start of the game.
New player hands model.
Rest is no longer a parameter. Players can still sleep but there is no more occasional annoyance with closing eyes and yawning. We found that mechanic overly lacking in depth and meaning so it is removed until we can improve upon the system.
New sounds for all pistols as well as the M4 and IZh-27. More new sounds coming in upcoming patches.
Multiple simultaneous missions. Players can now take on up to 5 missions at the same time.
New Custom Difficulty Settings. Over 15 parameters are exposed to change like - amount of enemies, time till tide, item durability, enemy damage, disable tracers for enemies etc. It can be tweaked both ways to make the gameplay experience easier or harder.
Improved graphics. New tree models, terrain retexture, grass, and overall more detail, dynamic shadows on Effects - Medium to High.
New voice lines for Mimics.
