Bad Company 2 Number of Maps Questionable
February 07th, 2010 - Written by Markicks



The number of maps seems to be questionable now that UltimatePrestige.com only lists 8 maps. But other sources said their might be more. Also a brand new Strike at Karkand might be in development? Below is the story with the details.

Quote:
- Tactical Field Guide on UltimatePrestige.com lists 8 maps
- Members on BFeditor.org forums found 10 12 map loading screens in the PC beta
- DICE programmer, Mikael Kalms responded to a tweet asking how many maps there will be at launch and quoted this from an IGN review published back in December.
@Kalmalyzer Its really a great game you got here May you tell me how many maps we see at launch?

Bad Company 2 10 Map Images and Details
February 05th, 2010 - Written by Markicks



We already knew about the existence of five Multi Player maps. Today there came five other maps floating to the surface. We've updated the index page with map details but we're not sure yet of three images. At least you can have a look at what they are saying about the maps.

Quote:
VALPARAISO VILLAGE
The American capture of Valparaiso is the next phase in their strategic
plan to repel Russian Forces from Chile. Any U.S. invasion will inevitably
consist of a land assault through the outlying jungle areas and an
amphibious landing of infantry and armored forces along the coast. The U.S
objective is the Power Station on the outskirts of the city. If the
installation can be captured and services cut off, the liberation of the
city will inevitably follow suit.

LAGUNA ALTA
Several days ago a large Russian counter attack overran U.S. Camp
"Christopher" and destroyed a supply train carrying vital equipment. U.S
Forces are mustering to recapture the area. They are trying to establish a
buffer zone near the woodlands so their

Bad Company 2 Remote Administration Interface
February 05th, 2010 - Written by Markicks



A few news items earlier we showed you a little preview of a server admin tool that was coming up within several weeks. Mikael Kalms did some clarification on that subject with a new post on the BF Blog. Here it is.

Quote:
Hi again!

A lot of people are asking about server administration. What's up there?

A little background
Since the Frostbite engine had not yet been used for any PC titles, there had been no need for advanced server administration tools. BFBC2 PC changed that however.
There was a sort of "server console" thing, but it was intended for developer use only. Something easier to use and more stable was necessary when we came closer to release it to the PC users.

So what are we doing?
We are creating a separate command console, which is stable, and where the commands will not change. This will be the Remote Administration interface for BFBC2 PC. BF2 console commands have been a good source of inspiration

Bad Company 2 PC Beta Bugs Status Report
February 05th, 2010 - Written by Markicks



Players have encountered more and more bugs and glitches. And they still find new bugs. Annoyingly as it is, luckily Dice is working hard on fixes for these problems. To keep you posted, they did a status report to let you know how far they are in the progress. Here is what they say.

Quote:
Here we list some of the bugs which have been reported in the Closed Beta, with confirmed info from programmer, Mikael Kalms.

How is DICE working on the game?
Fixes are made directly in the retail game. Then, depending on how much time and effort it takes, we also lift the fixes into the Closed Beta. When we have a new good build of the Closed Beta, we will release a new client.

The focus for most of the team right now is stability, not game balancing. Therefore the list below contains mainly reported stability issues.

Flashing water and terrain on Crossfire
  • Fixed in retail game.
Particle shadows disabled on SLI + DirectX9
  • They used to cause a huge performance drop. Fixed in retail game.
DirectX9 crashes
  • We have improved stability some in the retail game, particularly when
