DICE associate producer, Barrie Tingle has yet another update on what is going on with the long lost Battlefield: Bad Company 2 PC patch. According to this latest update we could see it as soon as next Wednesday.
"So early signs are we fixed the problem by rolling back a change involving SPECACT kits.
As long as this continues we are aiming to release on Wednesday (23rd) of next week. However this is dependant on how fast we can gain approval the patch is compliant with Steam. If that approval does not come quick enough the release will slip to the Monday (28th) of the week after (as it is a red day in Sweden on Friday next week and we don't release patches at the end of working weeks).
This does mean that SPECACT kits will not be available after patching as we had hoped but all other fixes remain as does the ability to play the new modes like Map Pack #3."
