Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Patch To Hit PS3 Tomorrow

A new patch for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is due to hit the PlayStation 3 tomorrow.

This means that the servers will be going down for maintenance tomorrow morning, which - for Europeans - will happen somewhere around 9am or 10am, depending on where in Europe you are.

The patch mostly looks to fix a load of minor bugs, as well as upping the penalties for teamkilling and increasing the points for completing objectives. See for yourself by clicking through for the patch notes.

• 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 all 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

So there you are; you can now go get your Garand stats and not have to worry so much about being murdered by your teammates. Excellent.

The patch will go live in all regions - except Japan - tomorrow, with the Japanese patch following soon after. An Xbox 360 update is also in the works, and will also hit before too long.
