The six minute clip offers a good look at some of the intricate detail that goes into creating such an action heavy scene, talking on muzzle flashes, bullet tracers, and volumetric smoke, and how the latest version of the popular Unreal Engine does even more of the heavy lifting. Check it out below.
The first Unreal Engine 4 games are expected to start arriving next year, including Zombie Studios' Daylight, and Tequila Softworks' RIME. Epic Games' own Fortnite had been touted as the first UE4 game, intended to launch in 2013, but EPic has said next to nothing about the game for all of 2013, suggesting it has been substantially delayed.

They talk about map wide weather effects, trees sway the same way, explosions making trees flex, etc. That's all engine specific, but they'll still need to tell the engine that they 'want' the tree to flex, the force of the explosion, the inherent strength of the tree, etc.
You could have an engine with all these cool features, but none used in a game made on the engine.
Both CryEngine and UnrealEngine are also now targeting cinematography.
