big update for Nov22

[Sixshot]

Looks like they finally posted the changelog for their big update. Seen here: http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/battlefield_bad_company/archive/2011/11/21/multiple-fixes-and-new-squad-functionality-in-today-s-pc-patch-for-battlefield-3.aspx

 

Some notables:

* new squad management UI

* fixes for Eyefinity/Surround users (finally...)

* Grenades now drop to ground if killed while throwing (can you say Manual Martyrdom?)

* should no longer spawn too close to enemies in TDM, SQDM, or Conquest (woopie... but I wonder what's their threshold)

* "A large number of damage and range tweaks on a number of weapons to fine-tune overall balance in the game" (but that still doesn't fix the fact that the game favors vehicle warfare more than infantry play. Bleh....)

* EOD Bot exploit fix

* Several server crash fixes

* Anti-stat padding measures taken, disallowing ranked servers to run obscure settings (wonder what obscure setting is that...)

* Improved team kill kick configuration (yay~)

* Support for unranked servers (rawr!)

 

Well... they plan to deploy this in the middle of the night... two hour downtime according to them. 11P Pacific to 2A Pacific, 2A Eastern to 4A Eastern. During that timeframe, everyone will be playing Skyrim, be in Sleep Mode, or whatever...

Kiss that 1 player start good bye. PB forced on, no password for ranked etc.
