1.10 patch!

[Lynus]

Greetings,

We continue our march into the Christmas holiday with more and more happening in the Battlefield Universe. This week we will begin public Beta Testing of the 1.10 update. In this update we are adding server options and a few game play enhancements along with a number of bug fixes. Some of these improvements are:
Fixed Titan wall exploit - Players will no longer be able to exploit into the corridor wall to unfairly defend their titan.
Spectator Functionality - Players will be able to join a server as a spectator.
Active Camouflage Update: A bug that caused camouflaged players in medium to long range situations to be more visible than originally intended has been fixed. The IT-33 now functions as it did in the Public Beta. Thanks to former Beta Testers who helped to track down this issue.
Takao T20 and P33 Pereira Pistols: The maximum rate of fire has been increased on both the EU and PAC pistols. The pistol bullets' damage over distance has also been tweaked to allow for a slightly larger ideal range. Players should find the handgun's effectiveness as a close range panic weapon to be greatly improved.
Master Server Disconnects: We are adding client side enhancements to eliminate Master Server Disconnect Issues.
And much more!
-Your DICE Live Team

Will this be the next exploit? Two players in one room,one spying and another rapeing

adds a whole new mod to the game. "The cloak and dagger expansion"

well helping someone through teamspeak or something else is specifically against the ROE, but how do you prove something like this? I waws initially excited about spectator but then I started thinking...what about extra load on the server because of people just watching and also what about the inevitable help people are going to give each other because of this...I'm sceptical, I think it has the potential to kill the game...look at CS as an example.

Well .. it will make zero difference if somebody is spying on me .. i suck weather somebody is watching or not.

Can never be enabled in a comp . Just 2 much possibility for misuse.

Agree Stoke ! Me too !!!!

Ummmm ... if you have two guys in a room they can spy whether they can spectate or not - just put one guy on the other side and go to the squad tab.

Load-wise, it might actually help - if you have peeps spectating they are not contributing towards bullets flying round (as long as they take a slot on the server, of course).

I would expect them to build some kind of limit to spectators though - probably only have 2-6 slots for spectators I would guess ...
