Visceral Games has provides another list of changes made to Battlefield Hardline since the beta ended.

According to Thad Sasser, lead multiplayer designer, the feedback from the tester "really helped guide and shape" changes made to the game.

A patch for the PC version of the game was made on the final day of the beta, and the team used all data points from "feedback, collected statistics, and patch-specific responses" to help determine what to change before the game shipped.
