EA tweets that new PC server files are going out for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and that the Battlefield Bad Company 2 website has BFBC2 stats and a new Veteran page. On a related note, Steam offers sales of the Battlefield Bad Company 2 Squad Pack offering four copies of the military shooter sequel for the price of three. Here are the patch notes from Voodoo Extreme:

All dedicated servers are currently patching to the new server build just released by DICE, R7, which has quite a few fixes:

• Several common crash fixes. Especially those which have monitoring scripts that rely on the Remote Admin interface should see stability improvements.
• PunkBuster can send commands to Remote Admin interface (so ‘pb_sv_task 0 -1 ’ works)
• Veteran-rank handling corrected (it was broken in R6 and possibly earlier)
• Switched back to Release version of the low-level networking library; less debug output but higher performance
• Increased the initial server reconnection interval to 30+rand(30) seconds
• PB GUID generation is now based on EA account IDs (it used to be based on persona names)
• Added new command line options which allow providers to easily maintain server GUID's
