EA and DICE are planning to release a new Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Patch (R7 client and R10 servers) on Wednesday morning, European time, if testing goes along well.

This upcoming Bad Company 2 PC Patch will bring quite a lot of multiplayer and singleplayer tweaks and fixes like a new server browser, a 15 second spawn timer for Conquest and Rush, at the start of the round, in order to prevent players with high end computers to spawn before the other computers finish loading, and crash fixes when pressing ALT+TAB while in-game. The hilarious situation in which you could destroy an MCOM building by using the knife in the Isla Innocentes map has also been fixed.

Sounds promising! Looks like it deals a lot with the client crashes and will balance a few weapons that need balancing as well as improving the multiplayer experience.

And, best of all, the game now remembers your weapon loadout preferences! REJOICE!

But...now I can't hop in my four wheeler and rush B b/c my computer rocks! Or always be able to get the tank in the beginning of a map! It's obvious that BF2 was afraid of my awesome computer!

The "Kit Upgrade DLC" for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is on the way, sooner for some than others. On Wednesday, April 21st it will hit the Xbox 360, allowing players to change how their soldiers look on the battlefield, for $5.50. Exact release dates for the PC and PS3 have not yet been announced.

    There are 4 kits, one for each class, specific unique uniforms and camouflaged weapons gives you a visual edge. I mean what good is a camouflaged soldier if the gun sticks out like a sore thumb?

    Recruited strictly from other high-level Special Operations units such as Delta Force and Spetsnaz, the Special Activities groups – SPECACT - are the elite of the elite, used mainly for covert operations and other high-risk missions in areas where conventional troops cannot be used.

    With the 4 kit specific unique uniforms and the camouflaged SPECACT personal M16A2, UMP-45, MG3 and M95 SNIPER you have a visual edge on the Battlefield, showing that you’re a force to be reckoned with. The pack also includes 12 new awards and 4 Achievements.

    In North America the kit upgrades are only available on Xbox 360 using the Dr Pepper codes printed on special promotional cans.

PC update is expected later on, and will hopefully be in line with the Dr. Pepper promotion...
