Welcome to Steam
Because as fuzzhead mentions, it's a super mini status update. ;)

A formal news article will appear soon, as he mentions.

Sounds like fun. If not much has changed with .866, I should already have the installer from when AncientMan asked for stress testers that night. :p Staying up a few minutes later can get you some late night forum specials. :lol:

Don't forget a subscription service for dual wielded mini guns with heat seeking ultra-high explosive rounds.

This is due to battlefield not being able to use more than 2gb of ram and it should be changed in the new 1.5 patch. However, there is a fix that you can download already to solve this problem (worked for me). I cant remember the adress but im sure someone else does or you can just search the support forums.

So this is just a patch released bug fixes, game-play updates? Possible new maps?
Although that is incredibly great and can't wait to get my hands on it and see the changes. Hopefully will prevent squad bugs, server/player crashes. I got my hopes up and was hoping the Canadian Forces faction was released earlier than expected.

No new maps/factions.

Mainly just bug fixes and some gameplay tweaks (some information has already been releases in dev journals/blogs)

Weight probably.

I imagine 7 full 20 round magazines of 7.62x51mm NATO ammunition is closer in weight to 9 full 30 round magazines of 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition.

What does the '1p' mean?
