Is BF2142's team different than BF2's?

I have to agree with you on this. While there are always things I wish they'd fix which they haven't, they seem to be consistently fixing some of the most frustrating issues in the game. I was pretty pleased about the 1.10 changelog, even the scrolling ticker. I'd have to say I'm now confident that they're going to fix most of the little annoyances. On the other hand, I honestly don't expect the Titan lag to ever be fixed, so maybe my contentedness is more about lowered expectations than anything else.

If you read the community info in-game, it says that they have a dedicated update team to improve the game over time, rather than the somewhat uncoordinated effort they made in BF2.

I would mostly agree with you here, except do remember that it's an unlock. In all of BF2 and BF2142, I can only think of one unlock that differs in sound and appearance between sides: the SAAW. Still, that shows they have the ability to make unlocks look different for different teams, so perhaps it makes the omission even more damning! Another thing that should look different depending on the team are the beacons.
