2nd Update?

Was there another patch over the weekend? Just last Wed or Thur I downloaded a 400+ MB patch and when I logged in tonight to play a little before bed there was another 400+. I was out of town all wknd, did I miss something or is it just screwy on my console?

I had the same thing happen to me...there must have been a follow up update.

I have had 1 patch of around 288MB, since this patch UK are unable to play with you guys!

Ya there are 2, 1 was 2hundred something, the other is 4hundresomething.

Oh I wil do it now, it takes ages for me to update, my internet connection Sucks big time!

Yeah, it seems for the interim at-least that the US and the UK (the entirety of Europe for that matter) are insurmountably divided.

It's actually affecting the gaming, I don't know about you (American) guys but my matches seem somewhat less full at certain points during the day (which makes sense, given that there are two distinct approximately homogeneous timezones here). For example, I had several Rush games which had the feel more of Squad R., which was actually pretty cool (imagine Squad R. but with UAVs, helicopters, etc.) but I figure could be problematic in some ways.

Certainly, finding someone with a mic. who speaks English is harder.

@starbug, let me know if the latest patch resolves the issue buddy? ^^

Will do, just gonna fire up the ol' girl!

yeah its been pretty enjoyable playing against some more europeans however im lookin orward to be able to play with you americans again and then it will be full matches throughout the day.

No update yet!

Last week saw the release of Battlefield Bad Company 2 version 1.03 on the PlayStation 3 worldwide, which you can read about here. An additional update went out in North America to bring the game up to version 1.04. That update will be available in Japan today (June 7th) and in Europe tomorrow (June 8th). Additionally game servers will be updated in each region as the update goes out to everyone.


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 player’s 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 tomorrow (8th 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.
