Bad Company 2 PC Patch Release Info

June 19th, 2010 - Written by Markicks

DICE associate producer, Barrie Tingle has yet another update on what is going on with the long lost Battlefield: Bad Company 2 PC patch. According to this latest update we could see it as soon as next Wednesday.

Quote:

So early signs are we fixed the problem by rolling back a change involving SPECACT kits.

As long as this continues we are aiming to release on Wednesday (23rd) of next week. However this is dependant on how fast we can gain approval the patch is compliant with Steam. If that approval does not come quick enough the release will slip to the Monday (28th) of the week after (as it is a red day in Sweden on Friday next week and we don't release patches at the end of working weeks).

This does mean that SPECACT kits will not be available after patching as we had hoped but all other fixes remain as does the ability to play the new modes like Map Pack #3.

Item/Weapon extensions due to downtime

Hello Heroes,

After the extended maintenance on Thursday 3rd June through Friday 4th June we want to make sure that our heroes are compensated to make up for their loss of time on the battlefield.

So, on Friday 18th June the armoury doors will open to ship out 2 day time extensions for all time limited items affected by the downtime. Make sure that you are not left unarmed or undressed and take advantage of your extended items this weekend.

NOTE: Only time limited items active during in the maintenance performed on Thursday 3rd June will be extended. Expired items you had in your inventory at this time and items purchased after the maintenance will not be extended.
