EA has released a community update. This update is from Marcus Nilsson Senior Producer of Battlefield 2142 and details some of the changes made as result of the BF2142 beta. The highlights are quoted below:
some major changes to Titan shield layout as well as adding death material to the outside shield, killing people trying to just sit and wait for shield to go down. These changes plus more around the Titan is making the fights even more intense and rewarding.
We have also, based directly on your feedback from both rounds of the Tuning Beta made a number of gameplay changes. The Support class’s Machine Guns now overheat slower and cool down quicker when not firing. The Doragon and Talon gunships have received an increase in maneuverability to allow for better dogfights. Additionally, all Recon class’s sniper rifles have had their sway substantially reduced and are able to be equipped with a more effective Gruber 5 Stabilizer. Finally, the Heavy Body Armor now absorbs less damage from incoming projectiles, effectively increasing the power of all weapons against Heavily Armored opponents.

The changes should make a big difference to the balance of the game play and also make some aspects of the game less annoying, must notably people just waiting for the Titan shield to drop. Also the pilots will be much happier with more fun available in the air than the original beta.
