Bad Company 2 Friends

I find the last three assault rifles are a HUGE step over the first 4. They just seem to kill much quicker and are a lot more accurate. That, in tandem with the magnum ammo makes the assault rifles very deadly later on.

 

also just played a bit with patriot, im in Aussie and when i tried to join him i got terrible pings of +500 but when he joined some aussie servers he did really well and said there was no lag, so perhaps we can all team up and ill ask you guys to join a aussie server......

 

Yep. I had a great time playing today with Vicious and mtness (mtshadow) using htwingnut's TS3 server (albeit at different times). Hopefully we will be able to get a few more people on at once!

 

some interesting info:

I consider 3 weeks to be a while.

 

wow look at the m60 at the top of the list. they need to balance that weapon.........

 

no they don't.

 

Wow, the difference is quite big. M60 needs a nerfing. Didn't know the smoke launcher or repair tool were lethal, anyone kill with those yet?

 

has any of you defib killed before... i swear i stand right net to the enemy and i cant seem to kill them =/

 

What is "Destruction 2.0"? I see that but what the heck is it?

 

When a building collapses after taking lots of explosions, it kills anyone still in it or even hugging the outside walls. The player that causes the building to collapse gets credits for the kills.

 

I think so too even i dont use it because it is too powerful.

 

yeap its crazy lethal, m60 with reddot and you can snipe guys from the other side of map ...cant wait to see it and CG nurfed........people are still using the CG like a sidearm.......

 

what is the CG?

 

Code Geass.uhhh

Carl Gustav...the rocket aside from RPG used by ENgie

 

Ah yes. That needs a nurf also but only against infantry not against vehicles/choppers.

 

Back in town folks, gonna come join you online now

 

Don't nerf it until I get a chance to unlock it and improve my stats!

 

lmao, ummm sure ill put up with getting blown up from pointblank range while you level up..........

 

This GAME is driving me nuts...sometimes it lags like hell even if my ping is reasonable (low to mid 100's), what gets me is how I haven't been in a single server with a ping less than 100. Sometimes you go into a server and it's constant 40mm and CG spam and other times you get your poorly balanced teams (rank imbalanced) that you just get steamrolled over and over again.

And then there's all the other bugs with hit registration and all other assorted things.

 

Welcome to BC2! Yeah that stuff really bugged me for a while, but I decided to just have fun. I leave servers where there's stupid things going on. I hate when people constantly switch sides to get on the winning side, keeping things lopsided. Yeah, and the nade and CG fests suck. I can unload a whole magazine into someone (get all white X's to confirm a hit) and they kill me and on the kill cam they still have like 50% health. Whatever.

 

Yeah I do not see the point in switching to a winning team, the award pin is only like 100 or 200 points for winning thats not a big deal.

I always stay on the team I come in on, the only reason I would ever move a team is to play with friends.

 

I think WEAK people mentality is if they could be on the winning side they would get more points. WHAT THEY DONT GET IS THAT being on the winning side makes you learn less than being on the losing team.

 

Depends, if your a bad player and join the really good team you wont get more points really as the good players will still be getting all the kills.

But I have had maps where the losing team could not even get a kill we were pinned in so bad by snipers and noob toobs that it was redicioulus on a rush map. I got like 1 kill and 20 deaths that game. That was the most tempted I ever was to switch teams. At least on the other team I could have gotten some kills lol.

Actually we won the game because they just camped so bad they ran out of tickets, but again that 100 point pin for winning was not worth the torment of spawning infront of a bullet to the head over and over. The snipers were dug in so well that I never saw any of them.

 

Can't wait till I get my 5870 on Wednesday, the game will be so much smoother. My old 4850 just doesn't cut it anymore since I got my new 1920 x 1200 display.

Might also upgrade to i7 over the summer...

 

Jealous, my 4870 is pretty good, but it is starting to strain at high resolutions, IE no more 8xAA, etc.

 

hey folks,
is it just me or can you not Alt-Tab out of the game? I guess i'll need to be able to do that to have teamspeak going on?

 

My dual 4850's were about the same in power as my single 5870 but I upgraded for eyefinity. Dont regret it, its changed gaming completly.

I may be building a computer at the end of the year started a thread on DTR.

Want a SSD, the 6 core i7, more gpu power (another 5870 or a new card completly) and a larger cooler case since I think my P182 has issues keeping high performance stuff cool.

 

got my first BSOD playing bc2

 

Just start up Teamspeak first, talk to the people in the games, and figure out what you're gonna do. So far it's pretty much only been two people at a time on TeamSpeak. But you can alt-tab out if you want to switch teamspeak rooms, or forget to start it up.

 

I can alt-tab out of the game just fine.... of course, sometimes the game closes itself after I do it, but that seems par for the course with BC2 so far.



PS. What the heck... I have to register again to post over on DTR?! I thought the forums were all linked, bah!

 

I usually Alt Tab in Bad Company 2 and it did not cause me any freezes. Only some delay when Alttabbing.

 

Hi guys add me the names 'stillbreathing' withouy the '' of course.

 

blah...now im experiencing game freezes where i have to press ctrl alt del and it says bc2 stopped responding.....


great.

 

Relax folks, new patch is coming out Wednesday, it will fix quite a few crash/freeze issues, weapons will be balanced, etc...
Here's the complete list

http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/

 

well we will see how many things it actually fixes and how many it ends up braking.

 

Oh man, not sure how much I like that change log. I think I see more stuff that I do not like than stuff I do like.

I think its kinda cruel that they will not tell us the weapon tweak changes... I might be out there shooting nerf darts and not even knowing it.
I am almost postive that the M60 is getting a nerf... shame now that I have all classes unlocked I was running medic/m60 for points and did so good today. Got top player a few times.

I ran into one gam though where a whole squad as m60 medics and ran together and they were nothing short of invincible, if you kill 2 or 3 of them, one survived a would revive the rest and 5 m60's sending bullets downrange leveled just about everything.

 

Wow. Must realize it's completely hosed.

 

Looking forward to the saved loadouts and server filters. Hope they don't touch the AKS, it's become my weapon of choice for engineer.

 

AKS seems fine I am sure the CG is another that may be getting a nerf though. I think the CG is ok as is since half the point of an engineer is to be anti vehicle when using the CG you basically give up that portion of your class.

 

LOL. nice pic. I had a few good games today.

 

Interesting first post.... welcome to the forums?

 

Haha, nice pic Vicious!

As far as those saved load outs in the change log... about damn time!! But still no more than 20 on your friend list?! booo!

Think ol' Jenifer was talking about BC2 vs. MW ?

 

Yeah I like the saved loadout, that will be nice.

I do not like the spawn timer added I just got the faster loading times with the 8.74 ATI drivers and only had a few days to be the first in a game, now I will lose that privileged

Pepople using the standard 10.3 drivers will still be late into the game with ATI DX10/11 cards so the timer will not help them very much. I was loading into the game as the first point was being capped.... the extra 10 seconds is not going to do much for those people.

The new drivers though make it FAST, I load into a map faster than HTWingnut and he use a Intel SSD to load the game. I am basically the first in every game, I wonder how fast it would be with a SSD ontop of the graphics card boost.

I do not like the FOV restriction either. I play on 3 screens and use a 65FOV there are no bugs/glitches I can see with that setting. Restricting the FOV is bound to make some kind of problem for me if anything it will throw me off my game a big when my FOV keeps changing from in/out of the vehicle.

I honestly cant say I like the idea of a weapons balance either, I liked things the way they were. Every class had something people would consider "overpowered" but it added variety to the game.

Assault has the 40mm launcher and can resupply there own ammo.
Engineer has the Gustave
Medic has the M60
Recon .... I guess they really do not have anything considered OP right now

My point being I fear that things will get nerfed down to where the weapons are not uniqe anymore and will just become different skins/sounds instead with each weapon doing the same dps and just a variance of rate of fire to damage and accuracy to keep them pretty much the same.

 

id like to hope that they will be reasonable when nurfing, i do think the m60 and CG need to be tamed down though, one way to do it would be to not allow red-dot etc to be added to the M60 but keep its power the same.......there's no way i should be getting sniped by a scoped M60 half way across the map , also would like to see the assault class not be able to resupply its own tube ammo....sure keep the primary weapon supply but get rid of the self feeding tubers out there........if anything the sniper class is the less OP wouldnt it be nice to see a unlock weapon that delivers a one hit kill?......maybe having slow reload times........to nurf it a bit..... ...hmmm ill shut up now lol

P/S had a few good games with Osco and Lordhelmet today....still getting crazy pings of around 500 but its worth to to use teamspeak and have some fun with mates....thanks guys

 

and let me tell you how happy i am about this " MP – Window on static guns is now transparent on DirectX 9 systems"

:yes: ......finally i can use stationary guns!

 

I dont use them often, its like sniper bait. Though there is a bad hit detection bug with those things I cant tell you how many times I shot somebody right in the head 3 o 4 times and did not get a hit while they were on a stationary gun.

The only way to get them is with a rocket or something and then you get the kill + a vehicle destruction

So I guess its considered "armor" even though your clearly exposed. I have killed people right off with a headshot though so its not impossible just seems to be very random and very dependent on your angle.

I got a headshot on somebody today using the mounted machine gun on the back of one of the trucks that was fun.

 

Hmm, I thought you could increase your FOV with a settings.ini tweak, to a point, before it's considered a cheat. But maybe not.

I was on last night and Osco joined in. Sorry I wasn't on TS, I had only planned on playing for a round and going to bed but ended up staying on until 1:30am. Unfortunately my 2 year old got sick so was up the rest of the night with him. That'll teach me!

I did get quite a few kills from a mounted machine gun as well. First we were getting owned, then we finally came back and kicked their butts. I ended up with decent stats too. Although there were many guys on the opposing teams with like 8 or 9x gold 40mm grenade. D'oh! Thankfully mounted machine gun, M95, and mortar strike took care of that problem.

 

I don't like the idea of nerfing, but I would like some more incentive to use the other rocket launchers on the engineer; Gustav just seems the best because of it's speed and still being useful when a tank/heli is not around.

Also the M60, although I like doing this, I kinda think it is unfair that I can put my red dot on any orange triangle (no matter how far away) and snipe em down. I am perfectly fine with the M60's power and accuracy in medium and close combat, but you should not be able to reliable snipe people who are 300m out.

As far as Assault with GL's, I honestly think they are fine other than perhaps one small change I would propose: don't let them resupply grenades if they're GL is out. This will just reduce some of them spam by forcing them to switch weapons occasionally, and slowing down how fast they can grenade spam if that is what they are doing.

As far as the GUI and browser, they need to remove it completely and replace it with the BF2 interface...for almost everything.
