[new PTS stuff] Voice callouts, voice packs, ESSR tweaks... but wait, there's more!
Voice callouts
Now there are new callouts when you reload, kill someone or throw a grenade;
It doesn't seem to carry out too far away, so it's unlikely it will give you away more than a silenced gun or a cloaking sound would.
edit: /u/greenteagreentea made a video showing some of them:

Voice packs
Each faction has 8 new voice packs available, 4 male and 4 female. They cost 500SC each and can be equipped in the character screen, next to the title selection.
The names are the same for each faction, but the actual voice is different, so don't worry.
note: they can't be bought by NC female characters for some reason, maybe a bug on my part or maybe not.
new SRs
TRAP-M1:
new description: "Multiple firing modes on the TRAP-M1 give it incredible flexibility on the field. In addition to standard semi-auto fire, it utilizes a 2x burst mode for accurate long range kills, with an additional higher-RPM 3x burst mode for closer targets";
NS sniper rifle:
now it holds 15 bullets in a mag instead of 12;
now it's infiltrator-only;
longer reload (2.6/3.5, ES SA scouts have 1.95/2.4);
faster bullet speed (before it was 500 m/s, now it's 520 m/s. ES SA scouts are at 550 m/s)
Shade:
now called Phaseshift VX-S;
new description: "Equipped with an experimental regenerating power core, the Phaseshift VX-S can be fired indefinately with proper trigger discipline or held down to fire a powerful overcharge shot. Reloading the core will cool down an overheated Phaseshift."
NC7 Railijack:
now called AF-8 Railjack;
the scope is now better aligned with the actual projectile trajectory;
New minimap UI
It's a cleaner look, i like it. Here, have a screenshot.
edit: another screenshot, now during a capture.
Respawn on login
When you're in a continent (not VR), you are brought to the redeploy screen on login instead of spawning at the warpgate.
Camo purchases
Instead of having vehicle, armor and weapon camo sold separately, all camos are now in bundles consisting of all 3. The only exception are certain camos that only apply to one category.
The cost is now 500 SC for both bundles and specific camos, it may change before hitting Live.
