Support for DICE's Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is still going strong -- after last week's PS3 patch, another major update was released in North America, bringing the game up to version 1.04. This update will be available today and in Europe tomorrow, as will updated game servers. See below for what's new.
Vehicles can now be damaged by friendly fire when playing Hardcore.The MG36 now properly has its red dot sight in Hardcore.
Damaged vehicles no longer blink on the minimap for soldiers without a powertool.
SPECACT kits can be used on all SDM and SR levels.
40mm Shotgun is now properly rewarded platinum at 500 kills not 1000.
G3 and Mk14 can now use the AR Marksman specialization.
Fixed a graphical issue when equipping the GOL with a 4x or Red Dot sight.
Scoring is now awarded after a player’s death.
Increased Tickets in Conquest mode and significantly increased Ticket Bleed when holding a majority or more of flags.
The Conquest Horn now only plays for a short time when running low on Tickets.
Updated the weapon stats in the Menu to reflect previous weapon balance changes (no additional weapon balance changes were made).
Increased the power of the UH-60 miniguns at long range.
Armored Vehicles are now more effective at running over soldiers.
Fixed an issue on Isla Inocentes where destroying a fence would also destroy the building containing an MCom.
Fixed various hangs and exploits.
Besides that, an optional but strongly encouraged update will be ready for Xbox 360 players tomorrow. This update contains gameplay tweaks and is required for VIP Map Pack content.
Speaking of map packs, the third is launching Wednesday for consoles, and after the hopefully imminent patch for PC players. For those tired of the current maps, unfortunately there's nothing new for you, but rather the less popular Squad Deathmatch and Squad Rush modes see some love on the Nelson Bay and Laguna Alta maps, respectively.
Update: 1.04 is now ready for European PS3 gamers; the Xbox 360 update has been moved to tomorrow, June 9, along with Map Pack 3.
Update 2: the Xbox 360 update is ready to go now. You can queue it up now from here if you're at work. The Map Pack is live, too. Finally, DICE's Barrie Tingle says they're rebuilding the PC patch tonight, which means a new version will be ready to test as of tomorrow. More as it comes, though you may have to check our Twitter feed for it.
