Update for Bad Company 2 PC

zh1nt0 · 22-10-2010, 03:05 PM

Some fixes are coming for Bad Company 2 for PC, people!
Now.. we want to announce these first fixes we have made and let you know that these are just one part of a bigger list of updates that we are going to release very soon. This update will also require server downtime

This is what we can confirm for now:

One of the Insignia's requiring an unobtainable Bronze star for the tracer dart – requirement removed.

- One of the Insignia's requiring an unobtainable Bronze star for the tracer dart – requirement removed.

- Hit registration changes brought over from MOH to BC2; several bugfixes, the client<->server send rates have been increased, some of the hitboxes themselves have been changed. This will increase the accuracy of guns, but will not make much of a difference to the knife.
Removed the blue box behind the chat window.

- The 2-second immunity when spawning/being revived can will now be immediately remove either by firing, zooming, or any movement (move, crouch, jump). Merely looking around will not remove the invulnerability. In essence: If a person moves, he is never invulnerable.

- 3D vision fixed.

arpski · 22-10-2010, 03:16 PM

So1datt · 22-10-2010, 03:17 PM

That is good news, I too was worried this game was being neglected. But my worries are allayed

letcha47 · 22-10-2010, 03:18 PM

HarmH · 22-10-2010, 03:18 PM

And all the people who whined about not buying vietnam because of patches just got kicked in the nuts.

Awesome

arpski · 22-10-2010, 03:19 PM

Way to read.

It's about friggin time. I was wondering when the revive invulnerability would be fixed by breaking it with movement of any kind. My god was that lalalala stupid.

You know what else needs to be fixed? Me being able to claim an anti tank mine by shooting them once. Though, it is pretty comical seeing armor get taken out with a pistol then the chat log filling up with "HACKS!"

Nael3kk · 22-10-2010, 03:24 PM

Good to finally hear that some of the bugs have been fixed and I'm looking forward to see the complete list of fixes which will be in the patch.

Interesting...I thought the tracer dart was ruled to have no effect on the all-bronze star insignia?

Maybe it's a different insignia?

Shadowman0000 · 22-10-2010, 03:27 PM

Actually as far as the AT mine they need to show an icon over a friendly mine... too many times ive blown up mines my teammates have laid down bc I couldnt tell if it was friend or foe

elToasta · 22-10-2010, 03:27 PM

One of the Insignia's requiring an unobtainable Bronze star for the tracer dart – requirement removed. <- ?

care to elaborate?

the all weapons pin is bugged due to specact and not tracer dart.

arpski · 22-10-2010, 03:27 PM

Yeah, complete list of fixes would be much appreciated by the community

. Also i wonder what was done to the hitboxes, and the 2 sec. immunity is due to revive, yes?
