At ease soldier,

It’s time for another update/cable from Battlefield Play4Free HQ. As I mentioned previously, it is time for a game update where we include the much talked about tier 1 training. I believe this will deepen the experience a lot. I know we have been having a blast playing around with training on our internal play tests.

So, when your solder ranks up you will be granted a training point that you can spend to further specialize your soldier. For those of you who have played in the beta and already ranked up your soldier past rank 1, you will have to click the little "recycle button" to get the appropriate points for your rank. For new soldiers however, you can ignore this as the point is given out each time you rank up.

With points available the next part is up to you. Do you want to have more ammo for your primary weapon? Or perhaps you want to access the coaxial gun on the tank? The choice is all yours. If you are not happy with the training you chose, simply click the "recycle button" to re-distribute your points again. I won’t go into too much detail about what options you have, I believe that it’s more fun if you find out for yourselves. As always, feedback is appreciated, so head on to the forums with comments or bugs that you find.

Additionally your soldier will be granted Credits as you play now. This fits well with the store that will open in the next few days. With the Credits you earn from playing you can then get access to new weapons and new outfits for your soldier. Pretty neat huh?

And yes, we have done tons of fixes and additions for this update as well, here are some highlights:
