When is the update coming? The innovations are already online, you can download the update.

How big is the update? The reports on this are currently very different. Xbox players sometimes report 60 GB, we had an update of 20 GB on the PS5. If you have previously loaded update 1.03, only 2 GB could be available.

What’s in the update? The developers state that many of the current changes are based on player feedback on the beta:

• Enemy Visibility
  • New icon over enemy heads
  • Adjusted light and contrast settings on the player models
• Audio
  • Footsteps can be heard less far
  • Teammate footsteps are more distinguishable from enemy footsteps
  • Activation of “dead silence” can hardly be heard anymore
• third person
  • When zooming, you only go completely into the visor view with large visors and special visors – standard visors remain in third-person when zooming
• weapons
  • There have been balancing updates but no details on them
• User interface
  • The user interfaces have been adjusted in the menu, the weapon smith and in general
• movements
• matchmaking
  • They don’t want lobbies to be resolved after a game – the system isn’t fully optimized yet, we’re still working on it
• Here you will find all important information about the release on October 28th.

These were all changes from update 1.04 before the release of CoD MW2. If you want to take a look at the English patch notes yourself, then take a look over here (via infinityward.com).
