It's been a whopping four months since the last patch for Bad Company 2 on PC. Last we checked in, DICE was investigating the troublesome issue of trying to update the game without forcing players to re-download the last patch on top of the current one -- not fun for anybody, especially with the files approaching 1GB. After all this time, it appears they've come up with a way, and naturally have begun teasing a bit what's to come.
Below is a list of changes already implemented on their end -- note this is a small part of a larger list of changes on the way.
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 clientserver 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.
The hit reg fix is sure to please many, and the immunity fix seems like a simple and effective solution to a long-running problem.
No specific date is set for the patch, but it's said to be arriving "very soon."
