  • Weapon reload sounds: Added new reload audio for M4-class and HK-class weapons.
  • Medical drag-and-drop: Corrected placement errors — left leg and right leg assignments are now accurate.
  • New movement sounds: Introduced aim-in sound, group start sound, and crouch-to-stand transition audio.
