Here is the R10 Server changelist


Punkbuster is required ON for ranked servers
Ranked servers cannot be started with a password
Autobalance message goes to text-chat instead of in the middle of the screen
Added weapon balance tweaks to a number of weapons – we are eagerly awaiting feedback!

We aren't going to tell you what weapon balance tweaks we have done, we want your unbiased views on the changes before we detail what has changed. You can discuss the changelist over on the official BFBC2 PC forums here: http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/batt … rvers.html

bah! i hate having minimum number of players to start. it'll be harder to fill servers if rounds aren't playing and only 1 person is in there.

does that also mean if you have 4 and 1 leaves the round stops?

It is necessary though. Oh and.... MP – Window on static guns is now transparent on DirectX 9 systems.
