Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Patch for PC to be Released Tomorrow
Hi Battlefield fans! We are happy to announce the release of the new PC patch version R9 for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 on October 29th.
We examined the different issues submitted by the community in the thread called “My biggest issues” on the forum. Additionally we have collected feedback for some time now and incorporated a lot of community wishes, so we are really excited to release this.
Please note: All game servers will need to be taken down for updates. The maintenance period starts on Friday, October 29th at 06:00 AM GMT. Most of the servers should be back up by 10:00 AM GMT. The patch is roughly 900 MB in size.
How to get the game client updated
- If you are using Steam: the Steam client will automatically begin updating your game client once Oct 29th, 6:00 AM (GMT) has passed by.
- If you are not using Steam: then the game’s online updater will find the version online at the same hour and ask you to patch.
- If you are not using Steam: we will also publish an offline updater. Download links will be added to this blog post during the day.
Here is the complete fix-list for the patch
– All Weapons Bronze Insignia requiring an unobtainable bronze star for the tracer dart – requirement removed.
- Improved Hit registration made through several fixes and some of the hitboxes themselves have been changed. This will increase the accuracy of guns.
- Blue box chat window removed
- The 2 second immunity when spawning/being revived will now be immediately removed either by firing, zooming, or any movement (move, crouch, jump). A Spawning Player can still orient passively in the Game World..
- 3D vision fixed.
- Fixed slug shotgun zoom crosshair on PC so they better represent the long range accuracy. Crosshairs now close more on PC, similar to consoles.
- Reduced slug shotgun hip accuracy to require zooming for consistent long range accuracy. Hip accuracy is now on par with the semi automatic weapons.
- Fixed a bug on PC where the G3 would do less damage than intended.
- Fixed VADS turning sensitivity on PC so it performs like the ZU23.
- Reduced VADS push back and damage to balance it with the ZU23.
- Fixed a bug where vehicle countermeasures would fail to remove tracer darts at high speed.
- Reduced the reload time for vehicle countermeasures.
- Slightly increased the AT4’s damage vs armor to emphasize its anti vehicle role while keeping it balanced vs armor.
- Increased the AT4’s top speed and acceleration so users spend less time exposed when firing.
- Increased the AT4’s splash damage so it competes with other AT weapons vs infantry. The AT4 still has the least splash damage of all AT weapons.
- Reduced the splash damage of the Carl Gustav to bring it in line with other explosive weapons. The Carl Gustav still has the most splash damage of all AT weapons.
- Increased the 1 shot kill range of the M95 body shot to counter its lower rate of fire.
- Fixed a bug with the SVU that gave it better close range damage than other semi auto weapons.
- Reduced all weapon damage to the MCOM by 50%.
- Fixed an C4 vs MCOM exploit on Atacama Desert.
- Fixed a bug with FOV when aiming the M1911.
- Lowered the close range damage of the AN94 to highlight its long range role.
- Increased the accuracy of the F2000 on the move to highlight its role as a mobile AR.
- Increased the close range damage of the shotguns to give them a greater advantage vs slugs.
- Slightly lowered the damage of the M60 to balance its accuracy advantage vs other LMG’s.
- Slightly lowered the damage of the MG3 at close range to balance it with other high rate of fire weapons.
- Slightly increased the damage of the UH60.
If you have any questions regarding the patch, feel free to contact me on my Twitter.
Peace!

the
improved accuracy should be interesting, have they made the hit box cover the whole map now or just completely fked it.
My beloved an94 has been nerfed as well lol.
Most look promising though, wonder if they messed anything else up while patching, chat box is now pink.
Yeah get the patch
when i’m about to go away for the weekend.
but really for a patch i looks pretty lame, looks like the are just playing around with the weapons.
where’s the spec mode?
where’s the fixed server browser and friends list?
they said that with this patch would be more competition orientated.
any word or NEW maps….no.
let’s just wait for Brink shall we.
or we could all buy COD:BO……………………nah

a 900mb patch there really is nothing much in it except A few weapon tweaks, but maybe i’m wrong. i’m a away for most of the weekend to, so won’t see much game time before the big match against unknown.
thank the lord
All behold the miracle.
increaseed accuracy is pretty scary. I have always found the rego 2 good. MOH is like instant death, lets hope this is not thier vision. MOH is not very popular.
so the servers should
go down at about 4pm aest and come back up at 8pm aest.

d0wnl0ading n0w.
Its good
Some reason i like it, almost refreshing.
Seems moverment is more fluid and shooting sharper, dont seem to get caught on every rock in the map. Thats rego.
The game is good.
i was stroking
when they said better accuracy
liking it
only bad side is that f4g deadite might snipe me more, he snipes a lot coz he can’t aim more than 1 shot
f4g i saw his FB profile he’s 2 gud looking to b strait
only had
3 quick rounds last night, but it seemed better. Shotguns were a bit wack, but i just need to adjust, missing tracers on tanks and guns didn’t bother me and the f2000 seemd way more fun to use.

I was playing yesterday with n0mad with my usual neostead. If you’re a good shot, you can kill people from quite a distance with it.
lols
It is funny how different people like different things. f2000 is the worst gun in the game. always has been.
I guess people use these gun differently.
yep
still the worst gun in the game (f2000) but was better than it was. Still won’t be trying it out against unknown. I think the an94 might be even better now. They said they nerfed short range, but it didn’t seem any diff except more accurate.
an94
an94 was never good short range anyway. I used to use it with 4x scope, sniper weapon. I use the MG36 cause it is a sniper weapon. MG36 is pretty bad close up also.
MG36, lightweight pack, mag ammo, ftw.
