			<p>BC2Stats 1.8.0 is now approved and you can get it from App Store. In this update we integrated Game Center so that you can compare with Game Center friends. And your original BFBC2 achievements/trophies can be synced to Game Center. We wanted sync all achievements/trophies but there is a limitation in Game Center, so currently it doesn't include any achievements/trophies from DLCs.</p>

<p>In next version, we'll have all new Vietnam weapons.</p>

			<p>BC2Stats 1.6.0 arrived in App Store several days ago, and we're really exciting about it. We introduced a new feature called Next Events in this release, it can show you the shortest path to rank up. But what does that mean?</p>

<p>You probably already know that when you achieved certain amount of kills you can get a star for a weapon, and a bronze star gives you 500 points, silver 1000 points, gold 5000 points and platinum 10000 points. So Next Events can show you the least kills required for a weapon to get a star, and that's really fast way to rank up.</p>

<p>Several days after the release, we began to receive crash reports regarding this feature and we've figured out why: our upstream API <a href="http://www.bfbcs.com/" target="_blank">BFBCS.com</a> recently added a new weapon in their API outputs, and our app is not ready for that weapon because it lacks stars stats. That newly added weapon in API is called DEMOLITION, we guess it should mean the kills you achieved when you destroyed a building with C4, grenade or rockets. Since it lacks some necessary data for our app to calculate, then crashes happen. We'll support that weapon in future release, but for now, we're submitting an update to Apple for fixing the crashes caused by this unexpected change in API.</p>

<p>Thank you very much for your support and patience. The update should arrive in your iPhone in 5-7 days or even longer, because Apple has their mystery review process. If you can't wait, you can become our <a href="http://www.olivida.com/bc2stats/beta" target="_blank">beta tester</a> to get the update now.</p>

<p>For existing beta testers, you can download our latest fix from below links:</p>

<p>
<a href="http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/bc2stats/OLIVIDA_DEV.mobileprovision">http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/bc2stats/OLIVIDA_DEV.mobileprovision</a><br />
<a href="http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/bc2stats/BC2Stats.ipa">http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/bc2stats/BC2Stats.ipa</a>
</p>

<p>How to use: Please download the 2 files, drag them into iTunes and sync. If your iPhone/iPod says error regarding provisioning profile, you can safely delete all provisioning profiles on your iPhone/iPod (It can be found under Settings › General › Profiles), and install the app again from iTunes.</p>

			<p>After PS3 has got 1.04 update, you'll find that veteran status is now displayed in player list, the number in a white rectangle indicates how many Battlefield series game this player played.</p>

<p>The best part of the veteran system is that you can get an extra weapon: M1 Garand. The semi-automatic rifle used by American soldiers in World War II.</p>

<p><img src="http://web.me.com/v2ex.livid/bc2stats/static/Collectables/Weapons/M1Garand.png" width="550" /></p>

<p>Although you can't mount Red Dot Sight on it, M1 Garand is powerful and accurate in short/medium range.</p>

<p>And if you don't know how to get Veteran 1, here is a quick and easy method you can follow:</p>

<ul>
<li>Log in to <a href="https://www.battlefieldheroes.com/playnow" target="_blank">https://www.battlefieldheroes.com/playnow</a> with the same EA account you're using for BFBC2. Battlefield: Heroes is a free multiplayer FPS developed/operating by DICE.</li>
<li>Create a character in Battlefield: Heroes and play several rounds.</li>
<li>Log in to <a href="http://www.battlefieldbadcompany2.com/" target="_blank">http://www.battlefieldbadcompany2.com/</a> and click My Soldier &gt; Veteran, and choose Battlefield: Heroes to add. Then you'll get Veteran 1 and being able to use M1 Garand in BFBC2.</li>
</ul>

<p>So, veteran system is a really cool idea. Do you know that the 1st in PS3 Leaderboard, id <strong>lfenec</strong> is Veteran 10! That's pretty impressive, isn't it?</p>

<p>p.s. You can also get to veteran by playing <a href="http://www.battlefield1943.com/" target="_blank">Battlefield: 1943</a> demo, that is a free demo you can download from PSN/XBL.</p>

<p>[Thanks, <a href="http://www.paulyoungdesign.com/" target="_blank">Paul</a>]</p>

			<p>Within 24 hours, BC2 for PS3 updated 2 times, first 1.03 and then 1.04. As an iPhone app developer, I really wish I could do the same thing in App Store. It usually take a week from we submitted the update, to it finally arrive in users' devices. Well, our PS3 just finished downloading 1.04 and now just like most of you, we cannot find any games.</p>

<p>There're some interesting changes in 1.03, score for arming/disarming is increased to 50 points, and when you blew up a MCOM, you'll be rewarded 250 points for objective destroy, previously it's only 100 points. Personally I think it's a very good change. Before 1.03, when play RUSH, I saw many people just care about killing, without arming/disarming, and sometimes I just saw too many RECON and no one was going to destroy the MCOM. Hopefully the patch will change this, because now if you blew up a MCOM, it's equal to at least 6 kills (300 points).</p>

<p>Points in CONQUEST also increased, now it's 150 for capture and 75 for assist.</p>

			<p>Hi all, this is the first post on BC2Stats blog. In future posts, we'll share the latest progress of BC2Stats with you here, and other interesting BFBC2-related stuff.</p>

<p>Since its inception in March, we two at OLIVIDA has put over 200 hours into the game. This is a first time experience: before BFBC2, we never played any online game so much.</p>

<p>So the enthusiasm finally lead us to make an app for BFBC2. And that is a lot of fun and challenges.</p>
