Erst kürzlich wurden zwei Updates für Battlefield Bad Company 2 veröffentlicht, die aber (teilweise vorerst) nur die PC-Version betreffen. Bald steht der PC-Version bald ein erneutes Doppel-Update ins Haus: Die Server werden auf die Version R12 gepatched und die Clients auf die Version R8. Letzteres Update muss sich jeder Spieler herunterladen. Es handelt sich dabei um circa 500MB.

Der Patch befinde sich zurzeit noch in "QA", also in der Qualitätssicherung, und es wird eine Veröffentlichung für den Anfang der kommenden Woche angestrebt. Associated Producer Barry 'Bazajaytee' Tingle hat im EA UK Forum bereits vorab den Changelog des sich in der Prüfung befindlichen Doppel-Updates veröffentlicht:

Server:

• Some potential sources for lag/rubberbanding have been eliminated


• The old reserved slots has been replaced by a kick-on-demand system like in BF2

• Idle kick is controllable


• Profanity filter can be disabled


• Teamkill-kick system is controllable


• Ticket counts and bleed rate are controllable per-level


• Infantry only mode available per-level


• Initial spawn delay and respawn delay are adjustable
