- First of all B3 will support two new games:
- The upcoming Medal of Honor (2010) and the Quake 3 based Open Arena (0.8.1)!
- We've built the MOH parser on the frostbite parser framework that we developed for BattleField Bad Company 2. You can expect maintenance releases while the actual retail servers are deployed. This is a first draft for the MOH 2010 game. Cheers Bakes! I think you did a great job on this one!

- BattleField Bad Company 2 support:
- Beta release of the BF:BC2 parser. (Note that this is still a work in progress and it has been included in this B3 release as a beta. Since Dice is updating servercode frequently, you may expect similar B3 updates for this parser.)
- The BF:BC2 parser does not require any server access, you can run this like any other BC2 admin tool.

- Upgrade Notice:
- Over 100 files were changed (in almost 500 commits) since v1.2.1! We strongly recommend updating the complete bot! When upgrading from a previous version of B3 you have to make sure you also check your saved config files for additions and changes! A number of commands were moved from the adminplugin to welcome and pingwatch plugin. This results in changes to the next config files:
- plugin_admin.xml (some commands were removed)
- plugin_welcome.xml (new command !greeting)
- plugin_pingwatch.xml (new command !ci)
- If you're using xlrstats, make sure the database holding the xlrstats tables is upgraded:
