    What map kit are you talking about? Just update the game and they will be downloaded and installed automatically.

    It already installed with the game, it is just being "unlocked" by DICE on their side. They included quite a bit of "new" features, but they included them in the game already and are releasing them slowly.

    After a few good days of amazing hit registration, today I tried playing again and now it's terrible. I've shot people, seen the impact and blood and don't get hit indicators yet they manage to kill me as fast as I was killing them when hit reg was fine two days ago.

    This game makes me pissed.

    was playing today with sniper and i was far as hell and aiming at this guy. I hit him saw impace and blood but still alive, and then all of the sudden he kills me with a crappy assault rifle like 1 mile away. not sure how that works.

    Udates don't help when they only screw with weapon balance and ignore the bugs that have been around since Beta (Voice Chat, Friends, Favorite, Lag, Rubberbanding, Hit Registration, Dud C4, etc...)

    yes but it will fix the knife.... which as a person who goes in as assault is needed. i run out of ammo shooting and i am right behind someone and stab them, nothing happens. they turn and shoot me. once that is fixed i'll be fine.

    M-60 was the beast, but it got nerfed. Grenade launcher and CG were beasts, and they got nerfed. AN-94 is just joining the softee club.

    I'm sick of getting stuck on objects. I think that there should be some sort of obstacle negotiation time that takes a second but allows you to automatically overcome an obstacle in your way. I hate getting shot while humping a 2 foot concrete step!

    I thought they were gonna nerf it back to how it was originally with the upcoming patch?

    M-60 deff got nerfed and so did the 40mm. But the CG is still OP. However, I think that should just be countered by lowering ammo count.

    M60 with Magnum round is beast. Arguably the best short range weapon, other than a decked out shotgun.

    Honestly shotgun with 12 gauge and magnum is most OP IMO.

    I try not to judge the skill of my openent. Any way I die is my own fault. Whether it be by sniper, RPG, pornstache or knife, it is a kill. I'm ok with dying. I might let out a few F-bombs after getting noob toobed...But I do the same stuff. Whatever works you know.

    BTW. Happy Memorial Day! Raise your drinks for the men and women who died so we can play a fantasy FPS game and gun eachother down relentlessly with no reprocutions (sp?). I am going to pwn some fools while watching war movies all night. Then go to work hungover. America! F yeah!

    Yes, that too. I hate it. Seems it happens more and more often now, but maybe I'm just finding more areas to get stuck on, I dunno.

    I've been stuck in windows many many times too. There I am crouched and stuffed in a window opening and nothing I can do about it. I have to have someone come along and blow the wall away for me to get out.

    And I still think you should be able to go prone, or have a way to duck your head. So many times I think I'm safe behind a concrete barrier or other obstacle and get nailed by a handgun as a headshot. That's just stupid.

    I agree. Maybe a prone button that you have to hold. Like the crouch. I think that would limit the amount of prone sniping. And you couldn't use mortar or RPG weapons from the prone. Only rifles. Also no prone jumping. I've seen that in other games and it is pretty lame!

    Don't see anything on the site about a patch. But it will probably automatically download and install when it comes out.

    Still haven't been able to get my veteran status to work. Although the perks suck so I guess it doesn't matter.

    You'll die just as fast if you run face to face into an engineer with his SMG out. SMG's are more accurate at close range fired from the hip than shotguns, and the engineer won't die.

    Its funny that you should mention at close range, i have been dieing to engineers using smg's at long distance, and its almost always them using that little smg with the 44 round mag ... i hate dieing to that gun.

    I been loving using the saiga with slug ammo and +capacity, its just so fun to use, especially when i pick someone off at a great distance.

    THIS! ^^^

    My formula lately as well. You lose the scope but can still be pretty devastating if you can get your aim on them.

    How can you tell if someone is using an aimbot? Probably naive of me but I just assume that getting headshot with a Saiga from 1000 yards was a good shot? Kidding...
    But why do these games include PB when it causes problems for honest users and doesn't kick the cheaters?

    Yea, it usually only takes like 3-4 well placed shots to chest/head area, its pretty devastating. Also is there any real reason to use the usas shotgun instead of the saiga, i mean the usas shoots slower and is weaker a tad, so IDK.

    While I love the Saiga with slugs, if you switch it to 870 CS, slugs, and magnum ammo, people at long ranges will start dying with a single shot. On hardcore, that setup is a single shot kill at almost any range, while on normal servers anyone within medium will die as well.

    I stick with the Saiga usually. Only reason I'd change is to get a gold star to work towards all my insignias.

    I don't believe so, that would make no sense. If anything they probably do less damage at a distance.

    slugs just mean you can shoot the distance with a lot more accuracy retaining most of the shotgun power

    I don't either, but they are. I'm not complaining because I have much better luck with the Saiga + slugs than any LMG.

    Yep. 3-6 bullets from LMG to the face vs random 1 shot to the face from across the map with shotgun? Or 1 shot, 1 kill shoot anywhere at close range...

    So lame, I've burst upon a few people riddling them with LMG rounds, and then a random shotgun fire to my foot kills me...

    I've said it before. IMO the OP guns in BC2 are shotguns with 12 guage and magnum.

    Another horrible evening. Lots of warping. One dude had like 30+ kills to 2 or 3 deaths on every map. Whenever I came near him he was warping all over the place. He was a 50 rank, but I told him he was warping and they were giving me lip. I don't care, but when only a specific person warps or rubber bands, or whatever, and has a super high k/d ratio, when everyone else is +/- 1 something isn't right.

    Delayed. Current explanation is their QA employees in Romania can't get to work to test it or give feedback because of a strike by transportation workers. Yeah, apparently the major QA for Europe (at least DICE) is done in Romania.
