Parche R8 (cliente) y R12 (servidor) para la próxima semana

El desarrollador Barrie Tingle ha publicado la lista de cambios para el próximo parche de Battlefield Bad Company 2 que vendrá la semana que viene. El parche reducirá la latencia global y nuevas acciones de control, tale como Troggle Crouch, que consistirá en mantenerse agachado pulsando una sola vez el botón; controles avanzados para el helicóptero; y poder chatear mientras estás muerto.

También trae algunos ajustes para los servidor. A continuación os dejo con la lista de cambios en inglés.
