"Gameplay - Hit box for moving targets expands based on the speed of the targets movement"
Basically this is meant to fix the hit box issue.

From Baza " Its the same kind of system BF2/2142/Heroes uses. Makes hit detection on moving targets more accurate to the player model rather than the hit box lagging slightly behind the player model during movement. "

Hopefully this will come out later this week ( from what has been speculated it could be thursday but maybe even earlier )

From Bazajaytee:  " Arms don't have hit detection for bullets where by a player gets damaged by it. Torso, legs and head. So no it won't affect that.

The 2nd video is a known issue with players on static guns."

" We have noticed an 8%+ drop in players on BFBC2 PC and EA is investigating the cause and working to restore service as soon as possible. "

Hmm could it be people are waiting on the patch to come out? ^_^

Just a couple things i saw while trolling through the EA forums Smile

I'm guilty of being one of those 8% waiting for the patch to come out  Laughing

From Baza " Kalms isn't in yet so no update on the patch just yet. Hopefully he will be in later today but has been ill when he got back. "

Hmm so we are waiting for ONE guy to get back to work... its starting to sound like they dropped BC2 for MOH ^_^ ( well at least until they push out MOH then they might return... thats if MOH isn't completely plagued with issues xD )
