Thanks to the eagle-eyed MyGaming forumites we have learned that a massive Battlefield: Bad Company 2 patch has quietly gone up and is now available for download. Likewise, the forumites spotted that Steam is now listing the Bad Company 2 expansion, Vietnam, on pre-order, along with a release date.<\/p>\n
The Bad Company 2 patch weighs in at around 2.6GB so warm up your connections. The patch prepares the game for the upcoming VIP Map Pack 7 and the Vietnam expansion, explaining the size.
PC server side updates will be taking place “between GMT 08:00 2010-11-30 and GMT 08:01 2010-12-01” so PC players should expect some interruptions.<\/p>\n
The PC patch also contains a few fixes:<\/p>\n
Acog and Red dot scope now equippable on MK-14 and G3.
Fixed an issue where the Bullet Tracers wouldn’t display.
Fixed an issue where Play Now wouldn’t work.
Added Ticket Count for Conquest end of round.
Added the server info to the objectives screen.<\/p>\n
A number of download links for the patch can be found on the Battlefield blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n Xbox 360 version fixes are far more abundant so we won’t publish them here.
