Attention Soldiers! We're going to talk about a couple of things in todays update. First the upcoming 1.6 patch and then the Battlefield 1942 Map Making Contest. So without further ado...

1.6 Update Battlefield Command has busted butts to get the 1.6 patch done as quickly as possible. Our sincere hope was to release it before the December holidays. Unfortunately, our commitment to releasing clean patches means that we cannot release the patch in its current state. We still need some time to clear up a few glitches. So, you at least have something to look forward to in January when you've finished playing with all the toys and goodies you've received over the holidays!

Here's a short-list of some of the features you can look forward to:


Punkbuster support
New in-game GUI for map and kick-voting
New game server allows hosting of different mods, maps and modes in the same server rotation
Chat lag fixed
Russian Ilyyushin IL-2 added to Kursk and Kharkov
New Battlefield 1942 map
New Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII map

This is great news. Perhaps the best news is, they expect to release it in january allready. I was getting worried it would not be released before BF V.

I'm in heaven. Bring on i-series where people are happily playing on the Vanilla server and BAM! I hit them with some Interstate. This is gonna be sweet ;)

Lol boff

[Njoroge]

Nice news and yes boff, I agree - for LANs that's sweet.

[SquireMuldoon]

Provided they release a linux version of the server at the same time (if at all). They dont have a very good track record in this regard.

[Boffykins]

True Squire, but at least the Linux server development is community exposed, so we can actually track progress. Killing is quite involved with it it would seem

w00t il2 sturmovik loving on kursk and kharkov - im lovin that

[DooM]

well waaaahooo its about time

"Chat lag fixed"

[thory]

Punkbuster support should be "interesting". Wonder how many clans will go into sudden hibernation when that comes out ;)

[Chilipepper]

Yeah, BF Secure should be good for clanmatches as well :)
