Server Side Update R27

DICE has released BF3 server version R27 (972386) to us and we will be rolling it out starting at 4AM EDT on Wednesday, July 4. Within approximately an hour of that time, you should expect to see our servers shut down for the update application, then restart. (As with other recent updates, this one must be rolled out to all servers at the same time, so we can't do a gradual optional update.)

The updated release has this changelist:

* You can no longer revive someone who has switched team while being dead. This prevents a case where soldiers would be resurrected into the new team while still wearing the old team's uniform.
* The "invisible boats" problem is fixed. We had something similar in BFBC2, and the same solution was applicable in BF3.
* You can no longer equip the M320 Smoke grenade launcher to the underslung rail on the AUG 7. This prevents the AUG getting insanely high bullet velocity (and therefore, no discernible bullet drop).

So we will need some guys around in the AM hours to get the servers rolling. I just got home again, so I will be around to assist :emot-fappery:
