These Update 3 changes ranged from matchmaking improvements, adapting the progression system, improving the UI, making a number of bug fixes, some general QOL improvements, and some balance changes along the way.

Update 4 has plenty of room to continue building on these changes, as Battlefield 2042 is far from perfect. With the major systematic changes behind us, Update 4 may focus much more on game balance across guns and Specialists.

While we wait for the final Update 4 details to be revealed, check out what came in the last major patch here.
