Kalms, the patch programmer, explains why patching BC2 is hard.

The engine and development system they have sounds downright terrible, as does the autopatcher which can't even open BC2's archives.

Well, I guess that explains the lack of mods.

I wish that would have realized that they might want to put frostbite on the PC when they were creating it though.

Gah, would love it if I could make a ww2 mod. I even have the classes figured out.

Note that semi-auto rifles, VSS and G3 now recover 5.0 spread per second now (used to be 4).
The headshot multiplier for HMG_bullet (M95) is now 2.3x.

So judging from the chart the new LMG whoremachine is the SAW thanks to it having 2x the mag capacity and otherwise beeing identical to the others?

Yeah and if you were gonna use the M16 you might as well just use the AEK instead.

Haven't played it, but after reading some comments and whatnot, it seems like the new patch messed up more things than it fixed? Is that not what always happens with patches from DICE?

I like the chatbox, only thing I hate about it is that it doesn't disappear quick enough when someone or I type.

and that it doesn't go away by itself

From what I played today it appeared when someone typed something (ofc) but then didn't go away untill I made it do so...

To be accurate they "unfixed" what they "fixed" in the last patch

They just reverted it back to the way it was.

So now instead of not being able to knife people in the back, there's the old problem of your knife not locking on for no reason sometimes, which is also frustrating.

I wish they would have just kept it the way it was and just let us knife people in the back. After the first patch at least they fixed the problem where it wouldn't do the charge thing sometimes even if you were right next to them.

Yeah, it's kinda nice but now it's perfectly placed for a CG strike.

I think it's kinda dumb tbh. You can still get sniped out of it super easy.

Each team should have it's own UAV. It should either be in their base in a building or on the battlefield in a building. Either way, there should be multiple random spawn locations for the UAV and it should only show up on the map for your team. I think that would be better. As it is now it's too easy to kill the UAV operator.
