Just in from EA's Battlefield Blog Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Patch for PC to be Released Tomorrow! Hi Battlefield fans! We are happy to announce the release of the new PC patch version R9 for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 on October 29th. We examined the different issues submitted by the community in the thread called "My biggest issues" on the forum. Additionally we have collected feedback for some time now and incorporated a lot of community wishes, so we are really excited to release this. Please note: All game servers will need to be taken down for updates. The maintenance period starts on Friday, October 29th at 06:00 AM GMT. Most of the servers should be back up by 10:00 AM GMT. The patch is roughly 900 MB in size. How to get the game client updated * If you are using Steam: the Steam client will automatically begin updating your game client once Oct 29th, 6:00 AM (GMT) has passed by. * If you are not using Steam: then the game’s online updater will find the version online at the same hour and ask you to patch. * If you are not using Steam: we will also publish an offline updater. Download links will be added to this blog post during the day. Here is the complete fix-list for the patch - All Weapons Bronze Insignia requiring an unobtainable bronze star for the tracer dart – requirement removed. - Improved Hit registration made through several fixes and some of the hitboxes themselves have been changed. This will increase the accuracy of guns. - Blue box chat window removed - The 2 second immunity when spawning/being revived will now be immediately removed either by firing, zooming, or any movement (move, crouch, jump). A Spawning Player can still orient passively in the Game World.. - 3D vision fixed. - Fixed slug shotgun zoom crosshair on PC so they better represent the long range accuracy. Crosshairs now close more on PC, similar to consoles. - Reduced slug shotgun hip accuracy to require zooming for consistent long range accuracy. Hip accuracy is now on par with the semi automatic weapons. - Fixed a bug on PC where the G3 would do less damage than intended. - Fixed VADS turning sensitivity on PC so it performs like the ZU23. - Reduced VADS push back and damage to balance it with the ZU23. - Fixed a bug where vehicle countermeasures would fail to remove tracer darts at high speed. - Reduced the reload time for vehicle countermeasures. - Slightly increased the AT4's damage vs armor to emphasize its anti vehicle role while keeping it balanced vs armor. - Increased the AT4’s top speed and acceleration so users spend less time exposed when firing. - Increased the AT4's splash damage so it competes with other AT weapons vs infantry. The AT4 still has the least splash damage of all AT weapons. - Reduced the splash damage of the Carl Gustav to bring it in line with other explosive weapons. The Carl Gustav still has the most splash damage of all AT weapons. - Increased the 1 shot kill range of the M95 body shot to counter its lower rate of fire. - Fixed a bug with the SVU that gave it better close range damage than other semi auto weapons. - Reduced all weapon damage to the MCOM by 50%. - Fixed an C4 vs MCOM exploit on Atacama Desert. - Fixed a bug with FOV when aiming the M1911. - Lowered the close range damage of the AN94 to highlight its long range role. - Increased the accuracy of the F2000 on the move to highlight its role as a mobile AR. - Increased the close range damage of the shotguns to give them a greater advantage vs slugs. - Slightly lowered the damage of the M60 to balance its accuracy advantage vs other LMG's. - Slightly lowered the damage of the MG3 at close range to balance it with other high rate of fire weapons. - Slightly increased the damage of the UH60. If you have any questions regarding the patch, feel free to contact me on my Twitter. Peace! // www.twitter.com/zh1nt0 http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=31641 More...

Just in from EA's Battlefield Blog Vietnam Hardware #3: The Tools of the 60's http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/400x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/Torch.png "This might sting a little." Welcome to the third episode in our in-depth look at everything Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam. Yesterday, we released our new trailer -- today, we examine the new (and old) tools used out in the field in Vietnam. So when going back to the 60's, we obviously don't want the soldiers running around with motion sensors, tracer dart guns, automatic spotting scopes, and all those other newfangled gizmos we are used to from the original Bad Company 2 setting. To make the new Vietnam expansion feel fresh, we peeled off a layer of high tech and replaced it with iron sights, blowtorches, and dynamite sticks. Here are some of the things we are doing to make our expansion pack a veritable travel back in time. Removed High Tech Gadgets So there are a number of high tech gadgets from the base game that we simply removed from the multiplayer game when we designed Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam. These are the motion sensors (both vehicle-based and for infantry), the tracer dart gun, and the spotting scope. Retro Designed Other Gadgets We want to keep the same team play abilities as in the base game, but give the tools an older look. So the auto repair tool from the base game is now a blowtorch, but with the same functionality. The C4 explosives have been replaced by sticks of dynamite, while the defibrillator is replaced with a syringe filled with adrenaline. These tools all function the same as their modern counterparts, but the new look, sound, and feel mean that they give a whole new flair to this expansion. This whole retro approach goes for the actual weapons as well [The topic of a later blog post -- Editor's note]. Overall, this setting has a much grittier, up close and personal tone to it. That's why Game Designer Gustav Halling calls it "more hardcore." Added Curious Needle-based Pointing Device We thought you might need a compass to navigate the jungles of Vietnam, so we added one and integrated it with your minimap. Now you can call out where the enemies are without having to add "My left, not your left!" As always, check back Fridays to get the very latest info on everything Vietnam. We leave you this weekend with a quick tutorial on how to handle the dynamite charge and detonator, issued in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam to Recon class soldiers of both camps. * * * M I L I T A R Y T N T T U T O R I A L * * * http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/400x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/Blog_5F00_Dyna_5F00_001.png 1.
