Notes:
The color options for the hit indicators are fantastic. Doesn't really matter which colors you choose but have 3 separate colors depending on the hit you deal is great feedback. For infantry, the standard hit indicators are white are are sized according to damage. For me, a head shot will give an orange hit indicator and a kill-shot will be blue. I believe there are also setting for vehicles as I noticed a green kill indicator when I was in a tank. These settings are found under Gameplay/Advanced Options

The squad-pooping is greatly reduced due to the inability to spawn on a squadmate if he or she is in combat (ie taking damage or suppressed).

Under the Controls category, give "Decouple Aiming From Turning" a try. You'll need a second to get used to it (literally a second) then you'll find that your turret wont turn with the body of the tank. This makes shooting on the move a whole helluva lot easier.

The agile helicopter physics are nice but are well balanced. You can't snap roll a helo and I believe the top speed is still the same on all of the whirly-birds. Really what the agile physics means is that you'll be able to recover from more extreme maneuvers. Gone are the days where you can't pull out of a hammer head maneuver.

Netcode. Maybe it's physiological but it does feel easier to connect with your targets. Something not mentioned in the patch notes is what appears to be a change to the tracers. I believe now, tracers are more indicative of where your bullets are actually going. This makes controlling bullet spread a little easier.
