Bad Company 2 PC patch on the way

By Justin Kranzl

BFBC2-LogoMedal of Honor? What’s that?

DICE community manager zh1nt0 has tipped off the PC Bad Company 2 community of incoming fixes to the FPS.

Catching the eye: a switch to Medal of Honor-style hit registration conditions, which apparently mean more accurate weapons.

Posting on the game’s official forums, the vowelly-challenged developer rep stated the following is just a partial list of fixes within the update, which will entail server downtime:

– One of the Insignia’s requiring an unobtainable Bronze star for the tracer dart – requirement removed.

– 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.

– The 2-second immunity when spawning/being revived can will now be immediately remove either by firing, zooming, or any movement (move, crouch, jump). Merely looking around will not remove the invulnerability. In essence: If a person moves, he is never invulnerable.

– 3D vision fixed.

Thanks, Bluesnews.
