Four new guns, a new HUD and assisst points.
Soldiers!
As announced, EA finished another update. We reported yesterday about the changed HUD. However, there are more new things!
First of all, we got four new elite weapons. You have to pay Battlefunds for them unfortunately. The pricing is 140 BFs per day, 490 for 30 days and 980 if you want them forever. The new guns are:
UZI - sub machine gun
M4A1 - assault rifle
M240B - light machine gun
M14 Enhanced Battle Rifle with holosight attached - semi automatic sniper rifle
Further, you are now able to get assissts. Placing a tracer dart will give you points as well as spotting someone. Knife bonus has been added. You can get revenge now and passenger bonus points as well. There have been minor bugfixes as well.

New HUD will arrive - we got all details!
EA will introduce a new HUD system for Battlefield Play4Free. It will probably be introduced in a patch announced for tomorrow, 8:30 UTC. You will be able to play during this time.
However, the new design looks more like BC2. First of all, we got a screen for you.
Now we analyze what you can see here:
Number 1: This is still your character face. You can see the clothing of your char here. At the left, we got a new level up bar. It grows now as it should and there is a rank sign above, so you can always know what your actual rank looks like. There is still a number showing your level.
Number 2: That's the server admin chat box. All messages sent by server admins will be shown here. There hasn't been a change regarding the position of this box, but the text is green instead of the old orange color.
Number 3: This is the regular chatbox. No changes so far.
Number 4: Here you got the mini map. This very important tool has been moved from the right upper to the left lower corner. The map itself has some minor graphical improvements, as example your character is yellow now.
Number 5: This is your inventory. It is way more compact as all empty fields are not shown.
Number 6: This is your health and ammo count. It's design has changed and fits better to the new main menu style, however, there haven't been changes regarding it's functions or position.
Number 7: This is the kill list. There are no optical changes here, but it was moved from the left upper corner to the right upper corner.
That's it. The HUD looks better organized now and you are able to see more stuff from your environment. A final review will arrive as soon as the HUD has been included to the game.

BadlyBurned dominates the recruit training... Again!
The winners of recruit training #7 have been announced. The first place goes to BadlyBurned again. Below is his awsome entry.
Further, congratulations to TheStealthyFool and inCuerdo who got place #2 and #3.
Report: What to do if permanent guns expire?
There have been several cases of this now: You buy your gun forever, check back the next day and it is expired. However, here's a quick solution for you if you experience that problem.
First of all, you should contact the customer support. Never ever forget to include a screenshot of your purchase history and another screenshot of your storage showing the expired gun, as this is the only way to proof that your gun has expired.
However, there have been cases where regular customer support said "no, we can't help you." Then you should contact the customer support via live chat. Browse to http://support.ea.com/ and chose live chat as an option. The agent is forced to reply quick and will more then likely give you the gun back - or at least add the needed amount of Battlefunds to your account, so you can re-purchase it.

Destroy the devs with a little delay
The "destroy the devs" event experienced a little delay due to technical difficulties. The PTE download client were unable to patch first, further, several users experienced matchmaking errors. However, y'all should be able to acces the servers now. Don't forget our contest regarding this event!

Overview: Basrah
First of all, our Basrah commentary will be moved to tomorrow due to the devs destruction - we will combine them!
We will give you an overview of Basrah anyway.
It is, like the other maps in P4F, a 32-player-map. Unfortunately you have no acces to any kind of vehicles. Still, the infantry warfare is not limited to small corners like Sharqi. You have multiple large-scaled sequences followed by some tiny ways through buildings. In general, you will often get into situations where counter-sniping is necessary. On the other hand, any class can do pretty good here. Snipers seem to be the main force tho, as there are multiple buildings and good hiding spots. Still, all other branches have good abilitys.
Assaults can push up to a certain base and secure it, they are definately needed here. As always, taking flags is very important and due to the lack of vehicles you can't call tank support. On the other hand, assaults using grenades are not that effective. By the way, shotgun-snipers with claymores and nades have not the best opportunities either.
Medics are as usefull as snipers. First of all, they can revive and heal up teammates. Playing the medic-role will lead you in deadly situations tho, as you will have to run across streets very often, so you become an easy target for hostile snipers. Still, you will be rewarded. Further, you have the ability to push the snipers back. With your machine gun you can surpress them easily and help your teammates to take them out.
Engineers are the worst class on Basrah. You have barely close quarters and there are no vehicles at all. Still, you are able to avoid the large-scaled firefights and get at least into medium distances. Further, engineers can do well while taking flags.
That's it, lean back and wait for video tomorrow.

New map will arrive "sooner than you might believe"
EA-HATE mentioned that the next vehicle-based map could arrive soon. The upcomming map will feature all types of vehicles excepting jets, and there will be a totally new video. We don't know exactly what he means by that, but it sounds like a smaller version of Road Rage. That's a large map in original BF2 featuring tank and jet battles including several helicopters. The map has been shown at the launch trailer. And the totally new vehicle could be the Littlebird, a small attacking chopper. However, we can just lean back and wait for awsome stuff to happen.

GunClub: BFP4F offers "may well" arrive in future
GunClub - many of you probably don't even know that living dead of a website. It started at Medal of Honor release and yeah... Suffered a lack of offers since then. You were able to catch some Battlefunds for Heroes and there has been a 20% price drop for BC2 Vietnam as well, and there are still some (not working) badges for MoH - that's it.
There will be change now, as EA-Silvanoshi said. He replied at the question whether there will follow some good stuff for Play4Free: It may well be at some stage in the future
. We have quite a few balls in the air at the moment .
Of course, that doesn't mention special offers like Battlefunds. But they have just added Battlefield 3 and Gatling Gears as 'supported' games, maybe they really try to revieve the GunClub zombie. We are excited anyway.

Spotting assists will arrive soon!
EA-Hate has announced that spotting assissts and multiple other score points will be implemented in one of the next patches for the game.
Spotting assisst works the following way: You spot an enemy by hitting Q+Left mouse button. Then a teammate kills him and you will get a reward. That system already exists in Bad Company 2, there you get 20 points per spotting assisst. We are excited what the other rewards will look like.

XP bug might be fixed now!
EA claims that today's update was more then a simple bugfix. The "XP bug" has been fixed, as EA says.
Still, it needs some testing to proof. If you still have troubles regarding your XP, then please post them here. Just to clarify: With the XP bug you lose the XP you just achieved in a match. That appears especially in higher levels and it's quite annoying as you will be moved back to lower levels quite often. Let's hope that it's fixed.

Third task is most creative one - create a Wallpaper of either Battlefield Heroes, Battlfield Play4Free, Battlefield Bad Company 2 or Battlefield 3 and include the i3D logo. You have to modify the logo tho, so it fits the style of the game. Reply here if you think you have a nice wallpaper.

There are two more known maps by now - Dragon Valley and Mashtuur City. They are both cleaned-up so they fit the combat model of BFP4F, as EA-HATE mentioned. Still, no date mentioned for those maps. It's neither sure whether they will come before or after release of Operation Road Rage - a large-scaled map that you can see in the official trailer for open beta launch.

EA: Focus is on bugfixing and new content at the moment
U-228 said, that the focus of development is on fixing bugs and adding new content to the game.
This means, that additional stuff like voice chat or Tier 3 will need some more time. Further, the bug from level 19 to 20 is very important to fix as well.

• Fixed a problem with the shotgun reloads to allow for better sync of animation and sound
• Fixed some light map problems on Oman

Soldiers!
Tomorrow at 8:30 UTC there will be a game and server maintenance for an half hour. You should be able to play the game without any problems, however, it is possible that you get disconnected due to the servers taken offline. When the patch is live, you have to up-date your game. No hints on the content, but it might be the bugfix tested before in PTE.
