So does this mean possibly more weapons? :ohnoes:

This is what I was thinking about. The guy using the scoped M14 is a recon...its possible they could be could be moving the M14 to the recon class. And then adding new weapons for the other classes. I know it's a stretch but that would be awesome :thumbup:

Saw this.

The following changes are in the 1.04 update of Battlefield Bad Company 2.

 

o Vehicles can now be damaged by friendly fire when playing Hardcore.

o The MG36 now properly has its red dot sight in Hardcore.

o Damaged vehicles no longer blink on the minimap for soldiers without a powertool.

o SPECACT kits can be used on all SDM and SR levels.

o 40mm Shotgun is now properly rewarded platinum at 500 kills not 1000.

o G3 and Mk14 can now use the AR Marksman specialization.

o Fixed a graphical issue when equipping the GOL with a 4x or Red Dot sight.

o Scoring is now awarded after a players death.

o Increased Tickets in Conquest mode and significantly increased Ticket Bleed when holding a majority or more of flags.

o The Conquest Horn now only plays for a short time when running low on Tickets.

o Updated the weapon stats in the Menu to reflect previous weapon balance changes (no additional weapon balance changes were made).

o Increased the power of the UH-60 miniguns at long range.

o Armored Vehicles are now more effective at running over soldiers.

o Fixed an issue on Isla Inocentes where destroying a fence would also destroy the building containing an MCom.

o Fixed various hangs and exploits.

 

An optional content update for the Xbox 360 will also be available on the 9th June. Though it is optional the update contains numerous gameplay tweaks. As such we highly recommend all players apply the update as soon as it is available. The update will be required to access future VIP Map Pack content. Players will be automatically prompted to download this update when they access the Multiplayer menu. You will need to restart Battlefield: Bad Company 2 for the update to take effect.

 

A VIP pass is not needed to utilise the update, however a VIP pass is required for access to the upcoming VIP Map Packs. VIP Codes are available through the in game store and inside all new copies of Battlefield Bad Company 2.

Sorry for the double post but...YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The updates they put in are amazing. Best example I can give is that of a game of conquest on Arica harbor. Normally each team has 120 tickets. But after the patch, you have 320 tickets! Games last a lot longer. That single game of conquest took at least 25+ minuets. Went 30-20 on it with a engineer class. Even though we lost, the biggest thing I love is the siren that goes off. it goes off two time then thats IT!

 

Only down side is that the games are now very long...would be cool if you could do a option where you choose a game with say...320 tickets or a game with 150 tickets.

[Nadril]

Heh what a joke, they aren't even out for PC yet... delayed right alongside the patch. Not like it really matters much to me since I quit anyways.

[TheValeyard]

That conquest thing sounds good, I stopped playing it because it was too short.

[Blake]

I play rush exclusively, seems like there's more epic battles.

"Are you ready to hone your skills with your friends in online multiplayer battles? The time is almost here as Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is set to release its first ever co-op experience on console with Onslaught mode. This all-new mode that can be played with up to 4 players will be available on June 22nd on Xbox LIVE Marketplace worldwide for 800 MS points and the PlayStation Network on June 23rd in the UK for £7.19.

 

Here's the rest of the press release from EA:

 

For those new to the Battlefield, Onslaught will offer an introduction to the award-winning online vehicle warfare experience in the game. However, for the elite squads, this mode will provide them with additional challenges to accomplish new achievements and new opportunities to reach the top of the leaderboards.

 

Also this month, the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Kit Shortcuts will be available for 560 MS points or £5.19 individually, to further help those new to the game. These Kit Shortcuts, which unlock all items related to each character class, can be purchased as a bundle pack as well for 1600 MS points on June 16th on Xbox LIVE Marketplace worldwide and the PlayStation Network in the UK for £13.99.

 

Defined by its exceedingly intense vehicular warfare, destruction, variety of weapons and huge sandbox environments, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is one of 2010’s top selling action games. The game is available in North America and Europe for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.

I guess that the price is fair enough for the Onslaught mode, not so sure about the Kit shortcuts (not about price but about the point of them).

[TheValeyard]

Wow thats really pathetic selling the kit unlock things. And they said the whole point of the co-op thing was to help people new to the game get into the squad system in multiplayer, but then they charge 800 points for it. I only buy DLC for a game when I'm sure I like it, and I'm sure that holds true for most people.

Agreed. Now we shall see No Levels with M95's <_<

 

This is their first big [bleep]up though. At least its not as bad as MW2

Why would it matter if they have the worst sniper rifle in the game?

[Blake]

I wonder if the kit unlocks come with the SA weapons. I still haven't figured out how to get them in the US. Haven't seen them on any Dr. Pepper, and I don't drink pop anyways.

[PoorLepRecon]

I cheated by using the universal code trick to get them in the U.S. Not sure what to tell you.

 

 

I haven't played in a while, but I'm glad to hear of some of those changes. Especially the conquest horn, man that thing was annoying. I'm disappointed that they charged for the Onslaught mode, but it never was that interesting. Would have been a nice diversion, nothing more.

[InkofDeath]

Past two days I consistently lose connection to the 'ea server' after about four or five minutes playing. I've done the usual to rectify the issue but nothing has worked. Could there be something I'm overlooking here, network wise?

 

I'm kind of upset.

IDK, obviously MW2 was handled very badly but at least they didn't try and sell any kind of early unlocks or headstarts online.

Could be just maintenance on the EA servers, something like this happened a couple of weeks ago, I was playing BC2 and some friends in the party were playing FIFA 10 and we all kept getting disconnected as they both use EA servers.

[I_am_Geed]

From what I'v herd its just general server maintanance. Just theyre working on all the servers lol.

 

EDIT: It looks like they fixed the glitch that M1 kills would redister as Thompson kills. Shame they didnt do it sooner as I would have 250 kills with the M1 and not the Thompson.

*looks at K/D*

:thumbup:

[PoorLepRecon]

Looks at KDR. :twss:

[krimi]

Kc, or anyone else who has those two pins, how did you get the roadkill and light vehicle pins?

[InkofDeath]

By running people over.

[Albel]

Looks at KDR. :twss:

Looks at 2 platinums, plus all weapons in bronze stars (minus m1 garand). Want to keep playing. :cool:

Get the M1 then :P

 

Its such a beast. With mag ammo it takes 2-3 semi shots to down anyone from almost any range.

 

EDIT: Anyone also know what you have to do for the Bayonet for the M1? Its listed as an unlockable on the sig generator that we all use but theres no real insight on how its unlocked. Thoughts/Answers?
