The Patch was finally released this morning. Our own DontCamp.com BC2 server was automatically updated early this morning. Make sure your clients are up-to-date!

Here is a link to the official news post with info on the change log.

The Balance tweaks are as followed:

• Slightly increased the damage of the UZI at long range.
• The AKs74u now has more felt recoil when aiming.
• The G3, VSS, and all SemiAutomatic rifles now settle slightly faster between shots when aiming.
• The PKM, Type 88LMG, G3, An94, and 40mm shotgun have returned to their former glory.
• Increased the damage of the MG3 to bring it in line with the rest of the LMGs.
• Fixed a bug where the Saiga12 with slugs would do too much damage at long range.
• Fixed a bug where the SVU would do too little damage at long range.
• Fixed a bug where M95 rounds would not kill armored targets with headshots.


Not real sure what they mean by "returned to their former glory." I hope it means that they will be as effective as their counter parts.

The server has been moved to a new machine and is up and running. We'll see how it goes from here.

Yesterday we finally saw the server at full capacity for over 24 hours. During some of this time all players were experiencing extreme lag issues. We opened a trouble ticket with GameServers.com, our hosting provider. They responded within minutes and offered to move our server to a new IP on a new machine that they think this will solve our issues. Since people were still playing on the server we waited until this morning when it was empty to move the server.

GameServer.com's tag line is ~Frag not Lag~. I'm hoping this isn't simply marketing and that they take pride in providing solid game servers. I'll keep you all updated via this post should anything new arises.
