Reassuring to hear, isn't it? I was starting to think the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 would be left in the dust in terms of post-launch support. As it turns out, console gamers are getting a patch next Tuesday that includes everything from this PC update plus these new tweaks:
- Slightly increased the damage of the UZI at long range
- The AKs74u now has more felt recoil when aiming
- The G3, VSS, and all SemiAutomatic rifles now settle slightly faster between shots when aiming
- The PKM, Type 88LMG, G3, An94, and 40mm shotgun have returned to their former glory
- Increased the damage of the MG3 to bring it in line with the rest of the LMGs
- Fixed a bug where the Saiga12 with slugs would do too much damage at long range
- Fixed a bug where the SVU would do too little damage at long range
- Fixed a bug where M95 rounds would not kill armored targets with headshots
DICE says these balances will be incorporated into a future patch for Bad Company 2 on PC. Good to know, definitely, but I'm just thrilled to see the console versions become slightly more up to date.

Those are the changes, EXCEPT where it contradicts the following:
Slightly increased the damage of the UZI at long range
The AKs74u now has more felt recoil when aiming
The G3, VSS, and all SemiAutomatic rifles now settle slightly faster between shots when aiming
The PKM, Type 88LMG, G3, An94, and 40mm shotgun have returned to their former glory
Increased the damage of the MG3 to bring it in line with the rest of the LMGs
Fixed a bug where the Saiga12 with slugs would do too much damage at long range
Fixed a bug where the SVU would do too little damage at long range
Fixed a bug where M95 rounds would not kill armored targets with headshots
But dont worry guys! I'm sure the patches will leave the game just as unbalanced and buggy as the pc version remains...
it gets the same nerv we pc gamers got in the last patch
BFBC2 > MW2.
that and having your whole team sniping when your supposed to have an objective task thats built around team work doesnt help much when your the only guy trying to complete objectives while the other team is sitting in a Bradley constantly repairing it.
