From EA and the developer:
"As the beta tests for BF 2142 have finished, on behalf of everyone at DICE I wanted to personally thank you for your help with the development of the game. We gave you a mission, and you delivered above and beyond what we could have hoped for. Thanks to your hard work, weve already made over 3000 bug fixes and very many changes to BF 2142, and we continue to fine-tune the game based on your feedback. Some of the forum traffic weve read has asked what fixes we are making, and while there isnt room to list all of the changes, your feedback made us make 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 classs 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 classs 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 end result is that when BF 2142 releases next month, we are confident it will be a great experience. We continue to work toward the goal we have had all along in the development cycle, which is to make BF 2142 the best BF release ever.
Thanks again for your help in this important process, we hope that you had as much fun playing as we did. Well see you on the battlefield soon."
Sounds somewhat promising. I'll be eager to see if the upcoming demo is a slightly polished representation of the retail release. I didn't like the 2142 beta so I hope these and other changes they make will enhance it.
Let the hating commence...
