Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Ships, Day One Patch Released

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is now available in North American stores, announces Electronic Arts, quoting Game Informer saying the military shooter sequel "rightfully challenges Modern Warfare for the multiplayer crown." Word is: "Battlefield: Bad Company 2 has received worldwide acclaim for its intense first-person modern warfare, spectacular destructible environments and seamless multiplayer experience supported by dedicated servers." Also, the Electronic Arts UK Community Forum has word that they've already released a day one patch (thanks LittleMe), saying: "It's slightly less than 300MB in size. Assorted fixes, some perf improvements, fov controllable via Settings.ini (fov=55 default I think) and um some other things. More info later, it would be nice with some sleep now."

Verno - -that is kind of weird, I wonder if they are switching the servers for a given client based on need on their end dynamically instead of user controlled......interesting.

Yeah I think you're right, they're probably using GeoIP to set the content servers individually. It's kind of a pain for big releases like this though where you want to change it to somewhere obscure that no one is using so you can get a fast download

Are the graphics better than the demo's? I think I read the demo doesn't use higher textures or something? What else is better over the beta?

Graphically it always looked great to me but I run the game on high with full AA and etc. Hit detection is hugely improved, weapon damage on many of the weapons was upped 25%, uhhh what else lets see. 10 maps, Conquest modes are more fun than Rush to me personally but the other Rush map I've seen so far was much better than Valdez. The netcode itself is much better, the server browser is vastly more functional and you can filter categories and stuff like usual now. There's more but that's all I can remember offhand. Performance, hit detection and netcode were the things I noticed right away, they were very shaky in beta.

Its worth $50 Ant and I don't drop $50 on an EA game without seriously evaluating it first I'm just getting my server setup with a host now as well.
