There is however some sad news, new recruit/trial CrazyMonkey has sadly rejected a position in the clan after being too inactive due to lack of spare time. All the best to him in the future!

The next release of the game client is currently in QA (Quality Assurance tests) by Steam and EA.

They will perform another synchronized client/server update. It is expected to take place early next week. The client update will be roughly 500MB in size.

EA's current plan is to do final tests on the update and servers tonight and all being well we will look to release R7 client and R10 servers on Wednesday morning European time.

My Thoughts:

Personally I think the new Server Browser looks fantastic and overall the extra options such as Team Balance and the ability to swap players manually will help a lot as a server admin. Lets hope the [UNC] server benefits from this after its quiet spell!

Changelog:

• MP – Logout/Login button correctly reflects the player status
• MP – Added minimum number of players needed to start a round (you can play and take objectives but you will get no score until 4 or more players join the server)
• MP – Isla Inocentes welcome message on the loading screen now fits the text box area
• MP – Reduced the brightness in Russian vehicles
• MP – Medic gadgets now display correctly if the defib is not unlocked

Here is the R10 Server changelist (Server Side ONLY!

• Punkbuster is required ON for ranked servers
• Ranked servers cannot be started with a password

The latest video in HD from www.gametrailers.com featuring all the latest info and gameplay footage of the highly anticipated World Cup 2010 South Africa. It comes but once every four years and I am excited as much about the game as I am the World Cup itself.

Although its unlikely I will be buying this game due to funds I will however be looking forward to playing it on my friends PS3 or Xbox360.

EA have posted new information regarding scheduled maintenance for upgrades and news on an upcoming patch to rectify the current issues with the server browser. This came shortly after news of the release of two new maps in Rush and Conquest gametypes at the end of the month.

Quoted from EA's Blog:

Tomorrow, 12th March, and Saturday, 13th March at 8:00GMT/9:00 CET:12:00 (midnight) PST, EA will take the servers down, this time we will come up with even more hardware with more capacity to handle all the BFBC2 traffic. Once the maintenance is complete you will experience an improvement to your online experience.

Now we are adding more capacity to let you smash those numbers multiple times over in the weeks to come.

So it seems that all the disconnect issues should now be resolved and will be fully rectified with a patch to increase server browser performance among hopefully other tweaks and fixes. No news as yet on the patch.

Here is the latest review from www.gametrailers.com on Final Fantasy XIII.

Hey Guys,

After coding over 6 PHP scripts to the site (Some of which took 40mins+ to install) we are finally free from bots 100%.

To help me understand how many bots we are dealing with on a daily basis I have scripted in a function to email me when someone fails to register to the site.

So far in total over 3 days 58 hacking attempts have been blocked. Of course we were only getting 3 - 4 a day coming through prior to the recent security being added but it just goes to show how many are trying to get through.
