Patch has now passed EA testing. It's with Steam for their approval. Current plan is Wednesday, with a slip to the following Monday at worst.

There's some last minute issue, it's now back to next Monday. But it sounds like it's minor at least.

This is the twitter of the new community manager Zh1nt0

He's a bit new to this.

TheFairy

Typical of EA and Dice. Forget support and anything decent coming to the game. At least it was a while longer with BF2 before they screwed over the community. Total ****ing joke tbh!

zh1nt0:The blog post said early next Week. I will update my twitter as soon as i know more.

So early this week was the very latest update, not for 28th http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/battlefield_bad_company/archive/2010/06/24/community-news-1.aspx

ps here's the url that the game uses to check the current version:
http://easo.ea.com/easo/editorial/BF/2010/BFBC2/config/PC/version (currently at 529843, if it changes it means that there is an update available so you dont have to load the game to check)

and here's the url for the news ticker on the main menu (not much use tbh): http://easo.ea.com/easo/editorial/BF/2010/BFBC2/config/PC/game.xml

You missed it:

Server - Infantry only mode available per-level

DeWinterZero

Infantry only option=Modern Warfare 2.

Battlefield is for infantry AND vehicles. Playing most of the maps Infantry only will result in masses of snipers on hills. Arica Harbour & White Pass are the Conquest maps that work with infantry only. Panama Canal and the rest will have loads of running between points. As for Rush, who wants to try the first part of Arica Harbour on foot?

Cant say i fully agree.
The infantry combat is light years ahead of mw2.
BF2 offered an infantry only option via a patch too and it was great fun.
Its nice to have the option.

I do agree with you about the potential for masses of snipers.

TheFairy

TiG Server will be INF only for the next while to we see how it runs.

Also Inf only BF2 was by far the best way to play the game. IMO of course.

Nick_oliveri

Best be tomorrow when its out. I note the increased hitboxes when a target is running... whats that about? And why increase the speed of the tracer only to decrease it?

Still though Im not whinging....once they actually release it tomorrow.

yankinlk

Using updater to patch right now.


argggh, that don't work, anyone have a link for a good download?

You're mad :eek:
I hated Infantry only games...
Everyone was either sniper/medic or support. At least with the vehicles in it tactics came into play.

With Inf only, its just a run and gun fest TBH. Boring.

May as well be playing COD or Unreal or some other sh1te, because there's no difference then to the gameplay.

I'm downloading it now (good old logmein allows me to do it from work)

Wonda-Boy

WTF are all you guys on about! You telling me that the only reason there are so few snipers in BC2 is ARMOUR.....:rolleyes: Bullsh1te.

No killcam would have more snipers then no tanks i tells ya, it would be brilliant if you could limited the armour rather then completely void them from levels. Some maps there is just TOO MUCH a little bit of tweaking would be great.

Also i hope they leave a few quads around
