In an official forum post, DICE Associate Producer, Barrie Tingle asked users what they wanted to be fixed in the upcoming patch for the PC version of Bad Company 2. He posted some of the changes and requests they are familiar with, which include the current issues:

  • Revive invulnerability
  • Blue chat box square on some PC’s and settings
  • AT4 weapon balance
  • Reload text in the middle of the screen
  • VoIP
  • Insignia bug (no requirement for SPECACT)
  • C4 does not always work
  • Custom resolutions
  • Horn isn’t audible to other players
  • UAV on White Pass crashes into trees on first use
  • Being shot only affects the model and animation not the aim. It should recoil the aim too
  • No vertical line on GOL Sniper reticule
  • Server lag

Finally, after a few weeks of rumors and deliberation, DICE has confirmed that the new Onslaught mode will be coming to the PC version of Bad Company 2 as well. The news was confirmed in PC Gamer, where it seems it’ll be the same Onslaught mode that exists for consoles, only ported to the PC, with the same four maps: Valparaiso, Atacama Desert, Isla Inocentes, and Nelson Bay. Also, since Onslaught for consoles is a paid DLC, expect to pay for it for the PC as well. Price: $10.
