Om du sitter och väntar på en patch till Windows-versionen av #Battlefield: Bad Company 2 är det dags att osäkra champagnen - i morgon landar nästa uppdatering av #Dices svårt hyllade lagkrigare. Patchen har försenats ett antal gånger, men via spelets forum klargörs att spelets servrar plockas ner klockan 9 i morgon bitti för uppdatering och att de väntas vara igång igen vid 13-tiden. Patchen släpps någon gång under den perioden.

Storleken beräknas landa på knappa 900 megabyte och innehållsförteckningen är i stora drag densamma som redovisades i maj. Vi citerar den nedan.
