News Writer
I’m looking for some one who keeps up with this community and other bfbc2/moh communities. A lot of small goings on happen on this site (new plugins, new languages, plugin updates, map image pack updates, etc. etc.) that goes a little bit unnoticed. If you like writing short articles, have an eye for detail and have a good grasp on English then I’d like to hear from you. Experience in WordPress is a big plus.
Please link other people to this article if you think they would be interested. I wouldn’t mind interesting videos, screenshots, clan-focused articles, procon news (plugins, languages, map image packs), tournament results – you name it, so long as it’s bfbc2/moh related. I’m not looking for some one to churn out crud for the sake of it, just whatever they find interesting 
You would have an audience of several thousand to begin with. With the expansion of procon into MoH that could grow very soon.
Wednesday Update #10
Australian Battlefield Bad Company 2 Community : News
Hello Ladies and Gentlemen!Would you like to play against some DICE players?
I would like for everyone to take out their calendars, notebooks or anything you write your most important appointments on, because on September the 8th, you will get the chance to get yourself an in-game [DICE]-tag :).
That's right! We will be playing together with the Community, spread out on different servers and just having a good time. Last time we had this event was such a success and we feel we want to repeat this.
We will release our special [DICE]-Roster the closer we get to the event :)
This event will be on PC on the 8th of September from 18:00 CET - 22:00 CET. Servers will be announced 2 hours before actual session begins.
There will be more events like this for other platforms as well so keep checking the blog for future updates.
This weeks Questions and Answers
The weapon balancing in this game shows some guns are very overpowered. Is there any truth to that?
There are a small number of weapons that are debated as being over or under powered. Kill stats that are available on our website show that these weapons are still used by a minority of players, and the weapons considered by the community to be most balanced are also the most used weapons. Balance is an ongoing process and we will continue to tune and tweak the game to make sure players are getting an optimal experience.
How come you are releasing map packs and not "new" maps?
The idea of the VIP program was to make sure that we had a continuous flow of content to our players, to keep the Battlefield updated with new places to fight in. We also wanted to make sure these were free of charge to the people with VIP codes. The remixed maps has worked great for this but we clearly also hear the community request for new maps. Naturally these are much heavier to create from a dev stand point and hence the lead times are longer.
A lot of players are experiencing heavy lag after Map Pack 6. Why is that?
Map Pack 6’s release coincided with an increase in player use of an exploit with the chat system which caused players on the server to lag. We have implemented chat limits to prevent this from happening and play should have returned to normal. Please report any ongoing lag problems to us on the forums.
Plus lots of competitions on the Blog.

Wednesday Update #9
Australian Battlefield Bad Company 2 Community : News
Wednesday Community Update #9Each week I'll be answering three commonly asked questions. Be sure to ask your questions on the forums and on Twitter
This weeks Questions and Answers
How come the friends list in BC2 is limited to only 20 ppl? Are you planning on adding more in the future?
This is a limit imposed to ensure the EA backend remains stable. Upgrading the limit on friends in the buddy list is something we may consider in the future.
When are we getting information on BF3 and BC2:Vietnam?
You will get information on these games the closer we get to a release-date. Let's give the dev's the time they need to work on the game.
A lot of players are experiencing a "connection lost" message in the middle of the game. Many claim it is not the RSP or ISP. Comments?
We are aware of some older routers that do not work optimally with Battlefield: Bad Company 2. We suggest checking your router manufacturer website for the latest firmware and updates.
Are you actually listening to our requests?
We receive loads of feedback every day from users which makes me very happy. Shows me that the game is very much alive and people also want to improve a product they really enjoy playing.
Keep on giving us your feedback.

PRoCon’s future..
Work will begin soon procon 0.6.X.X series that will have as many changes to it as the 0.5.X.X series compared to <=0.3.X.X.
No official stable releases of procon 0.5.X.X will be released unless another map pack comes out. Then only the map definitions will be updated.
0.6.X.X will feature multiple game support, redesigned and cleaner plugin api and possibly some other tid bits I want to add. There is a lot of legacy code (already) in procon that I want to change or remove. Remember procon was hacked together, not actually designed.. it wasn’t meant to be remotely popular
People will be able to participate in releases of this development via a download on the forums. The 0.6.X.X series will have an independent autoupdate process to 0.5.X.X so users can participate and update easily. Since procon is still considered beta (I’m still adding stuff to it) you’re essentially participating in a beta within a beta. Enjoy wrapping your head around that logic 
The seperate 0.6.x.x series with it’s own autoupdater is to avoid the FUBAR scenario that occured with 0.5.0.X… remember that? We need a public holiday in remembrance for that release 
Plugins will need to be updated to function in 0.6.X.X. Plugins that now run in 0.6.X.X will not be backwards compatible so the plugin interface can be scrubbed clean and neatened up. Plugin authors will find they need to edit their plugins to work properly but not actually alter any of their logic. Authors will need to rename some classes and such, but otherwise it’s not as scary as this paragraph has made it all sound
Participation in testing the initial releases of 0.6.X.X is optional.
It may be impossible to automatically update from 0.5.X.X to 0.6.X.X due to some fundamental changes that will occur in procon. I will endeavor to make sure this is not the case and an update can occur seamlessly, however this is a low priority.
These changes will come into effect on the main download page when MoH is released, approximately 12′th of October, 2010.
PRoCon Frostbite: 0.5.4.9
Fixes
- Fixed events tab not being populated by captured events list
- Added missing SPAS12 weapon

Map Pack 6Hi, Battlefield fans!
We have just released our sixth VIP Map Pack on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3. This means that you now will have the chance to play Squad Deathmatches on one of my absolute favorite maps, Panama Canal. You also have the opportunity to engage in fierce Squad Rush fights on Laguna Presa.
As per usual, the VIP Map Pack is free for new game buyers. If you picked up the game used, you can get a VIP code either through the Playstation Store/Live Marketplace, or via the in-game store. For PC players, this new content is free for all.
To give you a glimpse of the new action that awaits, here is our freshly squeezed trailer for the Map Pack. Enjoy!

Wednesday Community Update #8Quoted from the Battlefield Blog.
Frequently Asked Questions
So, there are a lot of questions going around the Community I'm going to list a few answers to your questions here. The top 3 asked questions of this week are:
How come SPECACT hasn't been made available for PC?
SPECACT was causing issues with the last update so we made the decision to roll back the SPECACT changes so we could release important crash fixes and other features. SPECACT is still planned for release on PC.
Are new maps coming for BFBC2 in the future?
Vietnam will bring more maps to BC2.
Map Pack 6 is due for release next week. There will be more information on the maps coming for Vietnam the closer we get to a release date.
What is the status of BF 1943? It was released on consoles, but is it coming to PC?
We have no new information at this point. When we do, we will be happy to share it with the Community.

Battlefield 3 Beta
Australian Battlefield Bad Company 2 Community : News
EA Adds Battlefield 3 Beta to Medal of Honor Limited EditionEA sent out a press release announcing that people who order the Medal of Honor Limited Edition will receive beta access to the Battlefield 3 beta. Yes you read that right, Battlefield 3.
No details about the actual game are offered (or even a logo) other than the beta could start up to 12 months after Medal of Honor releases. The small amount of info also says that Xbox Gold is required for Xbox users so it looks like Battlefield 3 will be a multi platform game.
Quoted from Planet Battlefield.
Electronic Arts Inc. today revealed new details of the Medal of Honor Limited Edition that will be released in North America on October 12, 2010. The Limited Edition* features a host of weapons, powerful ammunition and camouflage. The weapons and camouflage give players a tactical gameplay advantage on day one. EA also announced today that people who own the Medal of Honor Limited Edition will receive an invitation to the beta** for another highly-anticipated EA shooter, Battlefield 3™. Battlefield 3 is the latest entry in the award-winning shooter franchise from DICE in Stockholm, Sweden.
BATTLEFIELD 3 BETA DETAILS
Beta offer is contingent on Beta availability within 12 months of Medal of Honor release. Beta will be available for a limited time only and offer expires upon close of Beta events. Participation in Beta requires acceptance of Beta Agreement. Must be 18+. Xbox GOLD membership required for Xbox users. Visit www.ea.com/beta for details, including availability.

Back to school..
I’m back to uni this week but due to some unfortunate car problems I’ve missed most of the first week. I usually put in the hours at the beginning of the semester otherwise I know I’ll get careless and slack off
There won’t be any updates to procon by me in the next couple of weeks. You’ll be very lucky to get a response back via PM or email and I may only drop into the forums for brief times to gloss over the goings-on.
This does not mean procon development will cease, it just means you won’t get any updates for a short while. Going by the current cycle of updates (1 or so per week) I doubt 95+% of you will even notice
