Major patch coming this week for Bad Company 2
R7 Client and R10 Server versions being released on Wednesday
DICE has announced that it plans to do final tests on the update and servers tonight and all being well to release R7 client and R10 servers on Wednesday morning European time. The patch seems rather significant, as highlighted by some major changes to the game and many fixes.
There are also said to be gun balancing adjustments, but DICE will not comment on the changes in order to get appropriate feedback from the community. It was noted that players may be "instantly bias towards the balancing changes if they are revealed". So instead, the community will have to figure out on their own what weapon changes have been made and if they are good or not.
The following are the highlights of the client changes:
o MP – New Server browser
o MP – Added 15 second spawn timer for Conquest/Rush gamemodes at the start of round to prevent high end machines getting the upper hand before other machines load in.
o MP – Removed screen flash during loading
o MP – Added support for colour blind players
o MP – Auto team swap reflects correctly in the scoreboard
o MP – Rush scoreboards fixed
o MP – Veteran ranks no longer display as “12”
o MP – Isla Innocentes MCOM building fixed where knifing the fence would destroy the building
o MP – Logout/Login button correctly reflects the player status
o MP – Added minimum number of players needed to start a round (you can play and take objectives but you will get no score until 4 or more players join the server)
o MP – Reduced the brightness in Russian vehicles
o MP – CANCEL server refresh is implemented
o MP – Fix to correctly display the unlock progression at the end of round
o MP – Squad Death Match is correctly named during loading
o MP – Server info banners correctly clear between displays
o MP – Correct camera collision for vehicles' heavy machine gun
o MP – Most server filter options are remembered; it doesn't remember the setting in dropdowns
o MP – Kit/gadget loadout saved between sessions
o MP – Window on static guns is now transparent on DirectX 9 systems
o SP – Updating to R7 will invalidate your single player save game. If you update you will need to play your last mission from the start. If you do not update you will not be able to play multiplayer.
The R10 Server changelist follows:
o Punkbuster is required ON for ranked servers
o Ranked servers cannot be started with a password
o Autobalance message goes to text-chat instead of in the middle of the screen
o Added weapon balance tweaks to a number of weapons
