This just in from the BF Blog:

On Thursday 3rd June the PlayStation 3 Bad Company 2 servers will go down for maintenance. On your side of things at around 08:00 UTC (09:00 UK, 10:00 Europe, 02:00 Pacific) you will start to see prompts to update your PS3 when you next put Battlefield: Bad Company 2 in your disc drive.



The update includes the following changes:

• Kit images added in spawn menu
• Fixed the "required rank" field on the unlock items specified on the W&G page
• Added M14, NS 2000 and G3 in-game unlock pop-up when the requirements for unlocking them are reached
• Added a server side check of the veteran status of the players
• Award bugfix for "Win all 4 game modes" (it had marksman headshot as a dependency)
• Garand did not track anything, Thompson tracked Garand.
• Increased the penalty points for TeamKill and TeamDamage
• Increased the reward points for Objective Actions (Flag Cap/Assist, Arm/Disarm/Destroy/Damage/TeamDestroy/TeamDamage)
• Fixed veteran rank number not showing up in ingame scoreboard
• The southpaw setting now works for the anti-air gun and the Stationary AT
• Collectible weapon messages fixed

Now you can go out and get your Garand stats you have all been waiting for.



Edit: This update will go out on PS3 in all regions including Japan.

Xbox 360 update is also in the works and is due in the very near future.
