1.04

[Marshall]

europeans and americans can no longer play together it seems(I dont know whether patch screwed servers up or if EA decided to split us)

-There are big pictures of your character in kit selection to show you the uniforms

Conquest mode has changed
-Team score is now higher
-Base cap is now 150
-Cap assist is now 75

These are just the changes i have noticed

I'm currently downloading the update. Sorry M can't reply to u yet

I'll copy paste from the BFBC2 blog

On Thursday 3rd June the PlayStation 3 Bad Company 2 servers will go down for maintenance. On your side of things at around 08:00 UTC (09:00 UK, 10:00 Europe, 02:00 Pacific) you will start to see prompts to update your PS3 when you next put Battlefield: Bad Company 2 in your disc drive.



The update includes the following changes:



* Kit images added in spawn menu
* Fixed the "required rank" field on the unlock items specified on the W&G page
* Added M14, NS 2000 and G3 in-game unlock pop-up when the requirements for unlocking them are reached
* Added a server side check of the veteran status of the players
* Award bugfix for "Win all 4 game modes"(it had marksman headshot as a dependency)
* Garand did not track anything, Thompson tracked Garand.
* Increased the penalty points for TeamKill and TeamDamage
* Increased the reward points for Objective Actions (Flag Cap/Assist, Arm/Disarm/Destroy/Damage/TeamDestroy/TeamDamage)
* Fixed veteran rank number not showing up in ingame scoreboard
* The southpaw setting now works for the anti-air gun and the Stationary AT
* Collectible weapon messages fixed



Now you can go out and get your Garand stats you have all been waiting for.



Edit: This update will go out on PS3 in all regions including Japan.

Xbox 360 update is also in the works and is due in the very near future.

There's no mention about Euro people not being able to connect to US servers, or vice versa, hopefully it's just another (annoying) bug in the system.

I looked at stuff too

seems the reason we cant play is US players have BFBC2 v1.04 while Europeans only have v1.03

[Marshall]

and also my M1 Garand stats have dissapeared....

yeah i lost 700-800 points earlier for that <_<

i was topscoring at the time too.. i came back and topscored anyway though

I heard the game has recently started to lag for many players. It seems USA are on version 1.04 when the rest of the world are on 1.03, so I guess that's why we can't play on the same servers at the moment.

Edit: u guys beat me to it

Why do they always f*** things up after updates. In Bad Company 1 everything worked well untill a big update + free map pack. After this the game started to freeze from time to time (had to reboot your ps3) and they never fixed it.

[areyalp]

They need to fix this! It won't let me play with my friends. For now I have to play online with a bunch of random people with random squad mates. lol

[maiske]

I'm not a woman, pretty sure Nemez isn't either

[Nemez]

I can type and play bad at the same time.
btw according to this, things should be fixed tomorrow:

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.
