DICE community guy zh1nt0 has just posted a list of incoming fixes and tweaks for Battlefield: Bad Company 2, including the rather conspicuous “Hit registration changes brought over from MOH to BC2”, apparently increasing the accuracy of weapons. Presumably, that means shots will actually, you know, damage targets properly now.
For the moment, the “one part of a bigger list of updates” includes:
• 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 removed 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.
No details yet about a launch date, but with the Vietnam expansion scheduled to drop sometime soon, it’s probably not unreasonable to expect this around about the same time. I’d make a bad joke about DICE being in a rush to get this out, but I won’t.
