Bad Company 2 has been patched on consoles. I had a quick 10 minute game and shot down 2 Apache helicopters on Isla after placing a tracer on them and seriously damaged a Blackhawk.
Wow, this is game changing. The blackhawk pilot did have vehicle smoke (I know because he killed me as soon as I entered the game) but after I planted the tracer he didn’t try to remove it by firing the smoke.
The tracer isn’t quite fast enough that you can point at a moving vehicle and hit fire, you’ll have to lead it a bit but it’s much easier than before.
Edit – Mick has listed the changes by soldier class making it very easy to see what has changed in each.

NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! and oddly YEESSSSSSSSSS! Bah, I’m torn. How much Ogga Ug did you find it?
Well, I wanted to give the tracer a go so I played as an engineer and with my crummy smg managed to take out a few defenders at medium range. That’s probably a good thing as I never liked the SMGs.
I spawned in the village and spotted an enemy medic running up the side, shot him but he got away and tried a CG into where he might be as he had just fired back at me but no luck. I decided to flank him and ran straight into him in a doorway and won the firefight. SMG vs LMG and I won. I don’t know if he was using an M60 or not but I was impressed that I came out of it alive!
I’m looking forward to trying the tracer changes, putting a tracer on a chopper was a right bastard before! I got on rather better with the engineer’s SMG (the XM8 compact I think I was using) last night, too.
Yes the update is here and looking forward to trying it out tonight if I can get on. Hope the XM8 LMG hasn’t changed to much
Just downloaded the new Spectra Kit and the MG3 Spectra has the same stats as the XM8 LMG. I thinks the MG3 might be the new M60. Will have to try it out tonight if I get a chance
I can’t remember if I’ve unlocked the MG3, I think I have.
I booted up the Xbox 360 to see if BC2 had been patched there and it looks like it hasn’t yet. I didn’t see anything download. Had a very short and touch game with Field Operative. Unfortunately I did more damage to our team than the other with my KDR …
I’ve put a list up of all the changes in my my blog. Its my first post so go check it out please. I have put all the changes in kit order 🙂
