Do it then and I'm sure you'll find bugs in Nvidia drivers, guess what, all software has bugs, especially graphics drivers since they are so complicated.

why on earth release a driver with release notes of
BFBC 2 may hang during gameplay
i mean come on, why bother releasing it
release a driver every 2-3 months with no major bugs i.e you may have issues with one of the most popular FPS at the time

The list of known issues for Nvidia drivers are just as long as they are for AMD drivers.
Give it a rest.

Just to let you know, here are some issues with nvidias latest drivers (and this is just the list for the 500 series on 32 bit windows)
Single GPU Issues
GeForce 500 Series
GeForce 500 Series: Homefront (DirectX 11)–the application crashes after switching
from Windows mode to Full‐screen mode. [842180]
GeForce 500 Series: Metro 2033–light bloom increases and decreases throughout the
game at light sources such as bulbs, lanterns, or fire. [846214]
GeForce 500 Series: Stereoscopic 3D does not work in windowed mode if Aero is
enabled after enabling 3D Stereo. [848879]
The list gets bigger with different series of gpu's and with different OS's.
I would take these issues over BFBC2 locking up anyday
That is only a couple of issues i copy/pasted from nvidia's release notes. The list of issues, including BFBC2, is far too long to post.

Stay away from those as well!

Just thought i'd report that my BFBC2 has been running better since the 11.8s on the rig in my sig. Not a single ctd or freeze.....yet. That's after about 6-8 hours online play.
11.6s were good too, but 11.7s hurt me in a bad way m''kay?!

They have all the previous releases as well .
Because it will change nothing & fixing one thing can brake something else & instead of waiting for only a month for that fix, you will be waiting 2-3 months & they fix it & then after release then some one else has a bug as a result of the fix for your problem & they will have to wait 2-3 months & what happens when games comes our a few days or a week after the driver & it needed fixes, who wants to wait 3 months before being able to play it.
