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.

Electronic Arts Forums gave a post from DICE community manager Daniel ‘zh1nt0’ Matros outlining plans for upcoming changes to the PC edition of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (thanks Ant via Planet Battlefield). He says this is, “just one part of a bigger list of updates that we are going to release very soon. This update will also require server downtime.” Here are the changes they are revealing:

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 client<->server 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.

I’m looking to buy some new ram and maybe a new grafic’s card.
Budget for around $300 for both. I also still have 1, 2gb stick of ram left.

This is what i have atm
Kingston 2 × 2g hyper X kit
Nvidia 9800GT

The reason is that one of my sticks of ram shit itself so i need some more.

Rest of my computer:

Taxis

if you book a taxi to pick you up at 5:15, it means they are at your house at 5:15 give or take a few…. It does NOT mean they leave the depot, half an hour away, at 5:15

f-ing usless

anyone else had any bad taxi experiances, it might make my day a little better!
