    I'm really bad. I don't know how. I'm pretty decent with BF2. It seems I get shot by the same weapon I'm using with one or two shots and I'm dead. I seem to get every bullet in my weapon into them and they keep on moving. Yes, I do short controlled bursts. I was even standing right behind someone with the gun to their head, pulled the trigger they didn't die, they turned around and shot me one shot and I was dead. I don't get it.

    ping is your enemy...I think. There is also a slight hit detection problem,

    The wierdest was when i knifed a person, his body has reacted that it was hit and there was blood, then he shot me i died :D

    Maybe I'm just very trained with BF2's hit detection and it's different for BC2. I have a 50% k/d ratio which is horrendous.

    Yeah I have bad luck in bad company 2 also. I feel like i'm unloading into people only for them to turn around or bunny hop and then kill me in a few shots.

    lol, mate thats frustrating isnt it, for me i think Recon and Medic classes are a little overpowered........ i really liked the hardcore servers but it gets a little frustrating when you have a team of 16 of which there are 10 recon class.........it would be cool if you could only have one of each class per squad, making for four evenly balanced squads......wuldnt that be nice only having to come up against four recon and medic classes...ohhhh heaven ;)

    dont even need it, i got a 8 kill streak using my knife by flanking a group that was set up just like that, five snipers and a assault and medic, just slowly worked my way through the two squads....

    [​IMG]

    they where totally clueless as to my presence, im fairly sure i could have sat down next to them and sharpened my knife and they would have left me alone. ;)

    What's with the ping in BC2? All the servers that I connect to are like 150 ~250, and so is everyone else. Strangely ping show up quite low like 15~25 in server browser.

    Anyways, mine is

    Someone else mentioned it's not ping in the traditional sense (packet to and from server) but the data sent from your machine and processed through the server then back to you and processed by your machine. I thought it was odd too. But actually that method makes more sense. Kinda scary though to think most of the time there's a quarter to half second lag in a lot of cases.

    Haha, oops, sorry Noir! I thought I fixed that on the list. I know I sent you a friend request in game to the correct name!

    We may have someone working on a more effective way of adding and keeping track of BF:BC2 friends, but until then...

    is there a way you can program the 'zoom' action to toggle only when the mouse is pressed?

    i'm going to blame this as my poor k/d ratio thus far.

    Have some seen what could be "leaked" BF3 screenshots? Hinting at BF3 will be using the Frost Engine, same as BC2.

    Updated List -- 44 Friends!

    If your name is not on this list, please let me know. Soon we should have a way for everyone to enter their own names and everyone to keep track of each other without me updating the list within this thread... and hoping everyone sees it!! ;)

    Dont forget even if you do not have the Steam version of the game (like me since I got the $20 sale on EA Downloader) you can add it to steam as a non steam game so your steam friends still see when your online and in game.

    Also I created a friends list tracking tool that may get posted here soon to help take the effort out of manually hunting down friends list names and add some organization to the list.

    I am also the owner of the NBR Steam Gamers Group, so if you do use Steam make sure to join that group so you can game with fellow NBR gamers.

    That's your issue right there. It's your RIGHT mouse button, not your mouse right button! ;)

    I had a 1.0 K/D ratio from start to end and only been playing for a few hours till one game where I had to spawn right next to to a tank like 30 times in a row.

    I got a tank a few times but every time very quickly somebody insta killed me with C4. I cant see those guys around me, but I swear each time I tried it I was spotted very quickly for some reason even when approaching from behind.

    Also not sure why but my minimap is gone, I can only see it when I press and hold tab, and thats a big handicap. It used to be there on all the time, and part of my minimap is behind a bezel on my multi monitors setup so thats a slight handicap too.

    Minimap is gone if you are on hardcore server. And also I don't believe the indicator carats are there either for the enemy.
