Oh i got plenty of rockets right here for yer

Careful there, you might get banned!

[FreedomEclipse]

hopefully not since its pretty borderline but if i do then I suppose i could do with a break from TPU - if mods find the pic unaceptable then either remove it or ask me to & I'l replace the pic with one of kittens instead

[1Kurgan1]

Rambo style only works in "film" lol... I like the feeling of having to look around yourself to see which way will be the best way "not" to die... lol

Not, just having a few "boxes" around, to "hide" you..

Rambo style works, just have to survey it before you go in, don't run right down the road, run blasting holes through the buildings, make your own path through them to come in behind the enemy's, create as much destruction as possible on the way to your target, thats my goal.

[kid41212003]

I'm usually run along the edge of the map, so that I only need to look at one side to defend myself.

Smart thinking. I create a path of destruction with my grenade launcher attachment on the XM8, luv that gun:rockout::rockout::rockout:

personally, i'd laugh more at a kitten rocket.

[1Kurgan1]

Kids how are you getting the BC 2 sig to work, it just tells me remote file is too large.

[shevanel]

i gotta an email from gameservers saying a patch is supposed to be released tomorrow to help with server load

[erocker]

personally, i'd laugh more at a kitten rocket.

It would definitely be more acceptable.

[kid41212003]

Kids how are you getting the BC 2 sig to work, it just tells me remote file is too large.

I downloaded the file (right click, save as), and uploaded it as my sig.

[1Kurgan1]

I downloaded the file (right click, save as), and uploaded it as my sig.

Ah, was hoping I could use their link that way it auto updated, but looks like the file is 55kb so far too large, makes me sad.

[Mussels]

if it was made smaller, w1zzy would likely allow the remote server. there is a thread in comments and feedback about this stuff.

[AphexDreamer]

I verified Integrity of game cache through steam and it said missing 1 file. Next thing I know it downloads 286MB of something for the game.

I don't know what it was but I haven't seen a CTD, gotten a connection error or had problems joining any server since then for the 4 hours I've played.

I hope to god it stays that way. Let me know if you guys had to download anything.

[Tatty_One]

So is this worth spending my hard earned on? I mainly play multiplayer..... notwithstanding the crap with no dedicated servers for MW2, in gameplay terms how do the 2 games compare?

totally different. ones closed in human vs human, ones massively team oriented with vehicles

[boise49ers]

I have a question. How do you run this game with Direct X9. I have another machine
I hoped it would play on and it was real shuttery, but that was running Direct X10.
Thanks !

[Tatty_One]

As I understand it (I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong) the game runs in 9, 10, or 11 and whatever hardware/OS you have supporting whichever DX is what the game will run at, I dont yet have the game but from what I have read it kind of suggests that, although I don't know if it's actually DX11 enabled (yet), apparantly though, Frostbite 1.5 is optimised for DX10...... you will probably know that better than me.

[Mussels]

you can edit a .ini file to make it run in DX9. not sure how, it was mentioned in the beta thread.

[TRIPTEX_CAN]

As mussles said you need to edit a .ini file for force DX versions.

The file should be located under your "My Documents" folder or just "Documents" if you're on Vista or W7. In that file you'll find the line for the DX version. Also if the game is stuttery try changing the "renderahead=2" to "1".

.../Documents/BFBC2/settings.ini.

Haha yep would probably have to do that especially on hardcore mode while running along side any cover you can find I guess. On normal servers hell can break loose when you get behind enemy lines, you could even possibly flank a whole squad or two :D I've done it once but was probably 100% luck and with the noobtube :roll:

[Black Haru]

hello all, enjoyed playing the server and decided to join. (ingame is BlackHaru same as here) no mic till later this month. hope to see you all on the battlefield.

[Killura]

Well its intalled, already pwning noobs, where do I sign up for the TPU clan? I tried to hop on the server last night but it was full.

[Glazierman]

WEll I can see the server and hit the join button and I see the join server timer spin it disappears and I just sit there ?? any ideas says there's 18/32 playing ??

[ERazer]

fellow snipers, do u guys notice big bullet drop on m95? just got it last nite and kinna disappointed.

[mikey8684]

LOVE THIS GAME ... just finished the SP ... pretty short but I thought it was awesome, especially the end level .... had the MP beta and was loving all the things I had unlocked :( now I gotta start again

[Tatty_One]

Well its intalled, already pwning noobs, where do I sign up for the TPU clan? I tried to hop on the server last night but it was full.

The last thing I heard, to get in the TPU Clan you need to be a member for at least 4 years and have a minimum of 9000 posts :rockout:

[Zubasa]

fellow snipers, do u guys notice big bullet drop on m95? just got it last nite and kinna disappointed.
It is suppose to be a medium range rifle, and this is the exact kind of gun that a front line sniper uses. ;)
If you perfer long range sniping, use the GOL instead.

BTW, I am no sniper but I go marksman with my AR, usually AN-94.

[dmbyer]

Can I join too?

Let me ask this then. What if I started it in XP Mode, would it just default to DX 9 ?
I'll have to try when I get home. Thanks Feller's !

Grrrrrr, those are some hardcore requirements.:eek: Well I guess ill just hop on the server every chance I get and just kill the TPU clan members till I prove myself.:nutkick:

O ok, that kinda freaked me out a bit. So how do I go about signing up?

(Gamertag) Killura

[dmbyer]

I'm pretty sure if you noticed the requirements on the first post you'd see you simply need to post your request and information.. other than that, I imagine it's implied you need to wait more than 2 hours for the leader to do anything about it :P

[copenhagen69]

how is the DRM with this game?
I have heard some complaining but just figured i would ask here :)

[Wrigleyvillain]

There's a 10-install limit however you can also deactivate to free up. Not sure outside of that...

Just bought last night and tried out the SP a bit and was also able to get into a multiplayer game first try using Play Now (thought I'd try and see). On a temp XP install though, need to go back to Win 7 for some DX 10 action.

[Tatty_One]

Grrrrrr, those are some hardcore requirements.:eek: Well I guess ill just hop on the server every chance I get and just kill the TPU clan members till I prove myself.:nutkick:

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh: Just kidding!

[1Kurgan1]

I don't think it can be made smaller, The resolution of it is 400x80 which is fine, but the file is too big, like kid did by saving it then shrinking the file size works. But I think that if you use the direct link from that site it will update everytime your stats update, and taking the method of saving it and uploading it yourself, it will never update until you do it yourself.

I'll have to take a look at that thread, it would be nice to see a bit larger file size allowed.

[Black Haru]

WEll I can see the server and hit the join button and I see the join server timer spin it disappears and I just sit there ?? any ideas says there's 18/32 playing ??

As far as I've been able to tell if the "please wait" just disappears the server is full (note that even on a refresh or even full game restart the server browser shows identical info). if you double click on the same server a few times it'll come up as full.

on another note, I can't get the browser to show server pings, I've run both steam and the game as admin (and my router is "driver-less" so I can't get into its settings) anyone got a fix?

[Irish_PXzyan]

Man I love this game!!
me and my brother just can't get enough!!

One map there were 4 snipers on a hill snipping down on everyone!!! We saw them.. we then sneaked right around them and stabbed all 4 of them!! was some laugh :D

Oh on another note.

We were firstly using MSAA2x and 4xAF and was running just fine at 40-50FPS.

Then oddly enough we went to MSAA4x and 8XAF and got 60-70FPS??????????

Now we are both happily running it on 8Q and 16AF at 50-60FPS.
Is this normal?? To mean it seems strange to have an increase in performance??
Also all shimmering appears to be gone and looks a lot better!!

[johnnyfiive]

Seems like you might have set effects to low irish (since the surface lighting is decreased).

BTW, add me to the team kurg!

Forum name: johnnyfiive | BC2 name: johnnyfiive | Classes: Assault/Engineer/Recon

[Ejjman1]

Any reserved slots that open up, PLEASE pm me!!!!! Just in case :D


Me and TRIPTEX crush at this game!! :)

[Irish_PXzyan]

So higher the AA gets the lower the lighting effects?? which increases performance then??
But it looks very good this way!

[digibucc]

they both degrade performance.

higher AA or higher lighting will both result in lower FPS

[lemode]

just unlocked my m16 for assault and I LOVE IT! 3 round burst, fire's straight as i can see at both long and close range...2-4 squeezes and they are dead.

recon/assault are done...now engi and medic to go.

2xAA is bugged here, too. 4xAA and 16xAf runs great here @ 5760x1080, 2xAA, FPS tanks.

Is it that much better than the AN-94? I looked over the numbers and while the M16 is shooting 3 rounds it looks to be much less damage per round. Please give me more details!!!!!!!

:toast:

:toast:

Stat wise, the AN-94 is the best Assault gun, but sometimes it's hard to not hold the trigger down. So the M16 with the bursts pretty much doesn't allow you to do that, so for some it might be the better choice, I'd like to try the M16, 3 round bursts do sound good, but I would prob use the AN-94 in the end.

But the An-94 is 2 round burst fire.. just as easy to maintain the urge to "let 'er rip".

I prefer the AN-94, it is quite good for assault. However, I have gotten used to the M14, as I can now do 2 shot kills with it, and do it from a super long distance!

[1Kurgan1]

Ah didn't know that, since I haven't unlocked it yet, well then can't see why the M16 would be better, looks like it has a ton more kick also.

How do you get the M14? I guess it comes with a certain rank...?

You get it at like Rank 18 I think, maybe 17. It's not bad, but 1 shot at a time, I hit a Medic dead on with 4 shots to the chest and he killed me, after that I stopped using it, 1 round at a time is just a bit too slow, I'll wait to try out the G3, but as a Medic I prob won't need it, be like an M60 with a smaller clip.

[PVTCaboose1337]

The M60 is my favorite coupled with magnum rounds and reflex sight. I hate the acog.

[copenhagen69]

they have an acog in this game?
does it suck as much as the one in MW2 does?

[lemode]

absolutely love the M16...it fires fast and is super accurate. the m14 is awesome as well...think i got that at 19. no idea though.

they have an acog in this game?
does it suck as much as the one in MW2 does?

it's called x4 scope. it's nice, not nearly as bad as the ACOG in both MW games.

[TRIPTEX_CAN]

I read the M14 can't have any sights put on it... red dot or 4x. Is that true?

I don't mind single fire weapons like that. Should just be a more powerful T88.... no?

[1Kurgan1]

The M60 is my favorite coupled with magnum rounds and reflex sight. I hate the acog.

Skip the Magnum rounds and take the Last LMG upgrade that gives accuracy, its amazing. I'm not a big fan of sights on any gun, not sure why, but frees me up a slot, so guess thats not bad.

I read the M14 can't have any sights put on it... red dot or 4x. Is that true?

Nope, no sights on the M14, I don't think any of the weapons that can be used by all kits can have a scope.

[lemode]

no scopes at all...and it's way better than the t88. i got 4 kills when i briefly used it. but if i use a single shot weapon it's going to be a shotgun.

[TRIPTEX_CAN]

Well if it's better than the T88 that's good but I'd LOVE to get a sight attachment on it.

ok well thats good because it was awful in MW games

[1Kurgan1]

Are you guys talking about the T88 sniper rifle? You guys using that in close quarters?

[TRIPTEX_CAN]

With the RDS .. yes occasionally. It's leet in the right hands.

[1Kurgan1]

With the RDS .. yes occasionally. It's leet in the right hands.

I might have to give it a shot, I really hate playing sniper, I really only like the map with the train yard, I have a few spots that others don't use and that give me a lot of cover.

[TRIPTEX_CAN]

I might have to give it a shot, I really hate playing sniper, I really only like the map with the train yard, I have a few spots that others don't use and that give me a lot of cover.

It's not really sniping anymore with that sight. It's marksman... you need to move and you absolutely have to shoot first if you're too close. It's not something I would use in a full loaded smaller map (white pass)... but 6v6 or 8v8 it's pretty useful.

Plus you get motion mines to assist you.. which is huge IMO.

t88 on maps where there are a lot of spots for close combat is where it shines...other than that i don't like it. esp once you unlock the .50 cal everything else seems ridic.

Trip forgot to mention...get the m16 asap its recoil is non existant.

[Black Haru]

Forgot to say, ingame I play as engineer. also got pings to show up by tinkering with Norton. now all I gotta do is fix my PB kicks and CTDs and I'm good to go.

[TheLaughingMan]

I am not sure if this has been stated, but I cannot fire the AN-94 in full auto mode. I believe some said they have to fight the urge not to. I don't think you can fire it any way other than 2 round bursts. Now I do have to fight the urge to go full auto at close range with the AUG, but stopping power helps me with that.

I have fired the M16 with a 4x scope and mag rounds and it is nasty. 3 round burst, very little recoil, good accuracy, and good power. I would say it is the best Assault rifle, followed by the AN-94 for all around usage. Please note, I have not used or unlocked the M416 (M14) so I can't say anything about it.

How do you unlock the M16 without unlocking the M416? :p
I personally perfer the AN-94 over the M16 simply because its saves pretty much 50% ammo.
The burst damage of the AN-94 is also higher than the M16A2, I think the M16 is the highest unlock because it is the American Rifle. :laugh:

[DrPepper]

Hello fellow BFBC2 players.

Never knew about this thread. Just got to rank 21 and got all weapons except sniper and medic.

M16A2, delay between burst is shorter than AN-94, but it's seem like it does less damage (I haven't look at the chart closely).

Well 3 rounds, while less damage for each round, is still more damage overall than a 2 round burst. Plus the added shot increases hit possibilities.

I have not unlocked the M16A2. I just have really good luck and finding people for some reason. So I wait til someone kills me with an M16 and then I hunt them down and kill them and take their kit. I am like a kleptomaniac Angel of Death.

[PVTCaboose1337]

I just made rank 22. I think I have been playing too much.

[TheLaughingMan]

I just made rank 22. I don't think I have been playing enough.

Fixed.

[PVTCaboose1337]

Fixed.

I played 24 hours during the first 3 days the game was out. Is that too much? I think so...

I want rank 30 next though, which is my new goal! Also, going for all bronze stars on weapons.

The thing is the target is (usually lol) not a sitting duck ;)
The thing is the 3rd shot from the M16 tends to miss on running targets quite often. Probability is just not that simple when you count in the human factor.
The 2 rounds from the AN-94 fires at 1800RPM intervals, so it is pretty much one big hit.

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

lol why do you want 70-80 FPS? and dont tell me its because "you can see the difference" 40+ fps is fine.

if you really want to get that performance get two 5870 eyefinity edition's in a month or so.

Well I have not the experience with both to comment further. For now compared to when I have used both, I am an M16A2 guy. Hitting a moving target was not a issue with either weapon. I guess we will see since that is the kit I am working on primarily for now.

For everyone here, you can go ahead and rock the [TPU] tag. And if you really want to, PM easy and give the man a $5 spot for server. He is eating Ramen noodles for lunch and dinner for your enjoyment. Help me help you help Easy get a sandwich. lmao

[Hybrid_theory]

Hi guys. Question about this game. I have modern warfare 2, which i played multiplayer for a bit, but got fed up with exploiters and hackers. And just havent gotten back into it. This worth the $50 for the mw2 like experience plus some vehicles? Trying to save money, so just not so sure.

[shevanel]

this game eats MW2 like a fat kid eats skittles.. a bag at a time!

Hows performance in terms of lag. Battlefield 2 was bad for that.

[shevanel]

performance is great. and many fixes are sure to come to this game. it's hot shit right now

I am only 2nd Private Class :-(, almost 3rd. Also, I am almost done with Enigneer!! I haven't been able to paly too much (Wife,Son,Working 6 days!) Oh well, I know I will get up there mabye like next year LoL


PS - Has anybody have a solution on why it TAKES FOREVER to load servers?! How can we make this process faster, somebody do explain.

if your vsync isnt working what you have to do is

1. set vsync on
2. change res in game to something other than your native then switch back
3. do the same for AF

Play a medic. Give medpacks here and there, and once you unlock the defib, each revive is 50pts (the same amount when you kill someone). Next thing you know, youll' be lvl 20 lol

As for the servers, yeah. EA sucks. In fact, youll' be able to join 2 MW2 games while waiting to join 1 BC2 server lol. Perhaps the only flaw this game has.. (as well as not being able to go prone, crouch is not toggle based, not being able to chat while dead, not being able to see score board while dead, lousy kill cam, no cancel button while joining a server, etc etc)

[Zubasa]

You can see score board while dead, just press ESC. :p
For the kill cam, it is up to the server to switch it off.
Just find yourself a hardcore server and be done with it. Kill cam is excellent against sniper whores also. :nutkick:

It dont take long to join a BC2 match, what people mean by the servers is they go down. I don't miss prone at all, so much cover in this game compared to older games, crouch does need to be toggled though, the chat while dead is annoying especially while trying to type something, as said esc to see keyboard, you even tab works until you get back to your kit selection, I'm not sure what you mean by lousy kill cam it's quite nice, and yes I wish there was a cancel button :p

[Bjorn_Of_Iceland]

what I meant well the kill cam's perpective is quite useless.. especially on a place where ground texture is the same everywhere.. and if the shooter was between rocks or between a wall, cam would zoom in to the shooter's head (kinda like the same thing that happens when you want a good look at Lara Croft's boobs.. go near a wall so that cam will zoom in closer to the character) making you clueless where the place was. imo, at least point the player where the shooter was first, and then zoom in to the shooter's place.

in anycase, thanks for stating the esc to see score board.

[Zubasa]

You can't make the kill cam too good before the we get sniper tears you know. :laugh:

[niko084]

Just curious anyone running this on a HD5830, I'm considering a 5770/5830/5850 upgrade... Not sure if I want to spend the money on the 5850, have a lot of other things going on at the same point right now.

[OnBoard]

Oh on another note.

We were firstly using MSAA2x and 4xAF and was running just fine at 40-50FPS.

Then oddly enough we went to MSAA4x and 8XAF and got 60-70FPS??????????

Now we are both happily running it on 8Q and 16AF at 50-60FPS.
Is this normal?? To mean it seems strange to have an increase in performance??
Also all shimmering appears to be gone and looks a lot better!!

2xAA is bugged here, too. 4xAA and 16xAf runs great here @ 5760x1080, 2xAA, FPS tanks.

Kewl, this might explain my poor performance on Beta, as I had it always on 2xAA. Obviously I didn't try anything higher as this sort of thing doesn't happen on other games :D

Postman wasn't nice, no game today either, maybe tomorrow :)

1:1 isn't bad at all, IMO it just means you are doing a lot of team stuff.

Had about 1:1 in the beta and not going to get bothered in the full thing either if that's max what I'd get.

I like to go where the action is, even if it means I'll die. Mined plenty of roads in the beta just to end up shot by a tank, but it kept the tank away and gave a chance of us winning.

Sure it reflects on skills too, had under 1:1 in the start and later got it higher. But also mostly used kit affects. Recon/Medic/Assault/Engineer from least to most likely to die. Recon moves up, if not sniping and Engineer moves down if using a vehicle.

[niko084]

Yeah, I'm not complaining about it but I would like to get it up a bit...

Most FPS games I get used to and play a bit I run around 2-3:1 depending, obviously some matches are much better and worse but overall.

I'm not an epic FPS player by all means, I just play the game.

[johnnyfiive]

I need to play more.
http://bfbc2.elxx.net/sig/clean9/pc/johnnyfiive.png (http://bfbc2.elxx.net)

[cadaveca]

That's kinda my issue. Hop in a vehicle, usually, I get at least 5 kills to my one death. But they are such Kamikaze machines, and make you such a big target, I thought I'd try to get some tags, and it has proven to be quite the challenge. Probably 3 outta 60 head-on attemps at knife work for me, and seanking around just isn't team play.


Get a good squad working together though, and the game's far more fun.

Seems I'm a bit slow though...you guys go up on kills and points in much faster time than I do...must be old age or something. :laugh: I gotta put in twice the time!

[johnnyfiive]

I've stabbed 5 people once before dying. I started with a DOA knife, and then crept around a guy until I saw people start spawning off him. 4 more knife kills later a tank took me out. Was absolutely hilarious. I try and knife people as much as I can, 31 so far. Not even 5 hrs of play time yet! :)

[erocker]

I need to start leveling up my Recon. My ratio should go up since I won't be a gung-ho assault/engineer.

I'm not too far back on you, almost 22 now.

I can see pings just fine, though I remember someone saying the ones dispalyed by the game are wrong. I think it was a firewall issue that caused them to appear blank, but I can`t remember offhand.


As for K/D ratio, mine's pretty embarrassing. I've always been a grind and pressure player though, so I usually rack it up in base captures, vehicle destroys and the like. Once I get my feet back under me, I can usually maintain a .75-1.25 ratio while gathering points. BFBC2 might be different though, I just have too much fun destroying buildings. Right now I should be one of the easiest tanks to eliminate, just show me a bit of movement in a window and I've now found an excuse to level 3 houses. :ohwell:


Knifing isn't too bad since I moved it onto 'Page Forward' for my mouse. Whoever thought of using a clickable scroll wheel as the originally mapped knife key should be shot in a field though.

[digibucc]

the columns are aligned wrong, which is why your score or k/d appears in the ping column, etc
the ping is just wrong. the estimate is way off because of the method they use for it.

try and find the ip of the server , and ping it using cmd - that will give you a closer estimate of your actual ping. under stress it will fluctuate but it will stay within a 10ms range normally.

if not that, i know my G13 gives me an accurate ping... i'm sure there is software out there to show you as well, i just don't know it . but i do know the browser pings and in-game pings are higher than reality, sometimes 2-3x higher.

[erocker]

I swapped my knife to the F key and grenades to the G key last night. Got my first two knife kills this way. I just can't get it in my head (and reflexes) that the middle scroll wheel is a button.:ohwell:

I was contemplating to doing similar, as the current mapping I use is pretty clunky for it. I agree though, I couldn't get the original mapping through my head. I died 3 times right at the start of the game because I kept pressing the wheel to scroll sideways, instead of pushing it down.

If the G13 works alright, I'll get the LCD on my G15 back installed and working correctly.

[1Kurgan1]

I had some issues with scroll wheel click as knife at first, but then I grew to like it, very rarely do I switch weapons when knifing, and if I do it doesn't matter much. The one thing that royally pisses me off yet is scroll wheel weapon selection. I will be on part 2 of my kit (M60) and part 1 of my kit is a handgun, Part 3 is the Defib, and Part 4 is the health pack. I will hit scroll wheel up 1 click, and I get my damn hp pack, I scroll wheel up once more to get back to my M60 that is most likely out of ammo, nope now I have health packs. I scroll wheel up hoping now to finally get my handgun, nope, skips that and goes right to the M60 and I die.

I don't get angry when playing, unless that happens, that makes me very angry. Just thinking about it makes me angry, PEBKAC...

Also here's another asking how johnny got the BC2 link to work directly.

[niko084]

I have the same problem with mine, it's set to my mouse wheel and it's good if I'm coming up behind someone but I lose the knife first battle head to head probably 39/40 times and my ping is pretty decent, mid 30's.

Looking at a game pad, like the Logitech G13, maybe, it would be really nice for RTS games I think. Going to move a few buttons around though on my G5 for now and see if it helps some.

Then I need a 5870 and 2 more 1920x1080 screens and go eyefinity with an insane FOV. ;)

I set my knife to mouse-button-5, right next to my thumb (MX518 (http://www.esofland.gr/images/mouse/logit_mx518_small_02.jpg)). Thing is, I tend to panic a lot when in a knife fight and mash the MB-4 button as well, which I have mapped as crouch. Death comes swiftly and painfully.

Sorry, but imagining that was good for a laugh. Although if perfected that could be quiet good, knifing doesn't seem to get that soft lock so easy on crouch targets.

If you ever watched Knife Only servers in 2142, you'd see a group of 20 guys constantly sprinting at each other, to then just drop into crouch knifing. I found it amazingly funny to watch. They'd crouch because most times the 'noobs' wouldn't and thus would swing through the air above any croucher whilst they perforate the soft and tenders of their foes.

The other button next to my thumb is throw grenade, so I figure I'll either get them stealthily with a knife or from the grave with a grenade. Both work.

[niko084]

Now that brings up a question, do you have to get a certain rank or something to have a nade? Because I never seem to have any I can throw, only the noob tube ones.

See that button on the side back? The --> arrow? Yeah that is my knife button. Middle mouse (mouse 3) is as well, but that requires INI hacks.

[Kursah]

I just use the middle mouse button on my G5 (sweet mouse btw, I LOVE mine)...I was used to that from doing so in CoD4 and it feels natural to me in BC2. I use that side-back button for push-to-talk on TS, which for me works amazingly well.

I have figured out one little issue. Do not press Alt and Enter at the same time. That is what disables the full screen mode. Press it again to restore it.

Thats a nice score, I spot 3 gold medals, I might have to get a bunch of weapons to 1 kill away from gold and plan a time to get a massive bonus score, otherwise, doubt I'll ever beat that bonus score by random since I love me the M60 action too much.

I cannot beat that, however I do have a better combat score, and I am sure that others have better than that as well, but award wise, you got lucky :D.

Yeah you did. See I never heard of a game that was not full screen before either, so this was a new twist to me. And windowed mode is stupid.

yep. I do. I compulsively mash that button every time I see movement (even before I shoot) but half the time my team just ignores the blatant orange triangles and dies instead. whatever. people 'll learn.

[shevanel]

i love spotting enemies.

i love that map valariso or w/e too.. just played on it with marineborn.. that map is cool

i wish that when ur squad kills an enemy that it will show up in the same place at the bottom of the screen as where your own kills show up.. no one looks at the top left imo

plus i wish chat had its own box so when u die you dont miss seeing messages... or if you kill someone you dont have to wait 15 seconds to say something to them because they havnt spawned yet

[douglatins]

Yday was very funny i went behind enemy lines and knifed 6 guys in a row, they were all close together and also killed a guy twice after a doc revived him, then stabbed the doc too. Very funny

As far as combat scores go this was definitely not an elite round but it's not bad either (k/d is decent). The round simply didnt last that long to get too much more points. You're right though.. I got pretty damn lucky. I had no idea I was that close to 3 gold on several weapons.. the best part is that I spawned as assault every time except once so 2 gold stars came from weapons I stole. :roll:

i had a sweet score of 27/10 last night on the jungle map and the kurgan started running around like a mad man while we were trying to take C flag! I turned my score to a good 27/10 to 30/18. :(

couldnt spawn on my teammates without someone waiting in a building with a m60......

1kurgan1 has a way of doing that to peoples k/d. Sometimes you just have to spawn somewhere clear and move into a target from another direction. The m60 isnt invincible though.

Maybe reinstalling will help but if you can login to other BF games with that email and password then it should work. Maybe contact EA support.

Unhealthy obsession is unhealthy!

Luckly I don't care...as I DO love this game!

[boise49ers]

OK I'll be on tonight and try not to lose to many tickets.
I got on one the other night every time I spawned I was killed
with in seconds. I'd spawn somewhere else and they would be
swarmed all over it too. I finally said screw it and left. Is there a
stat penalty for leaving before the round is done ?
Shev any luck with the one you were gonna start up ?

[lemode]

no

[Spaceman Spiff]

Sigh...you lucky bastards. Thought I'd have liberty over the weekend to get back home to play but I'm restricted to my barracks. Damn training commands. I won't be able to play for a month or so. My 5 year old lappy with a Geforce go6800 is hardly up to the challenge of playing this fantastic game + playing online using my droid as a tether doesn't exactly give me the greatest ping.... Knife some non-TPUers for me gents!!

[FreedomEclipse]

no

thank god for that. MW2 was totally gay in that respect. I mean, how can you penalise a player for dropping out in the middle of a game?? its not football, or any sort of competitive street racing with bling'd out vehicles. if one guy leaves then some one else will join the server. Seriously! what the hell was IW thinking?

[epicfail]

All the unlocks take a while. What is your BF name?
ya ive almost at the unlock after the defibs for medic, assault i have nothing, recon im half way to svu or closer, and engi i just got the repair tool and stopped playing it, im always a sniper in shooters that i play, from css, bf2,mw2, call of duty 2 :-P, hopefully i can get close to unlocking the 50cal tonight if i play a shit load, or else tommorow.

its MapleJugz though

Someone responded this already but ya theres no penalty, and also if you leave early you still get to keep your unlocks, and stats which is quite awesome

But ya thats one slight problem that theres no spawn protection, but it didnt happen to me lots, maybe i got lucky

[boise49ers]

hmm not sure mate.... usernames and passwords are usuallycase sensitive so make sure theres no caps lock on etc... other than that can you create another EAonline account? or contact EA support

Yep most times I have that problem Cap Lock is the reason. I had a keyboard here at work at one time the Cap Lock Light didn't work so I would fiddle with it way to long before I'd figure it out. :shadedshu

Do you have BF2 ? That is a great game too with
the same concepts of team play as BFBC2.
That Go 6800 should run it fine.

[lemode]

Seriously! what the hell was IW thinking?

I thought that penalizing the user for leaving early and instantly resulting in a loss was aimed at teh super hardcore crowd as that's a feature that only they would ask for imo. I agree that penalizing people (with a matchmaking in place) is utterly ridiculous! Regardless, even with dropped games I still had a 1.45 win loss ratio in that garbage game.

Back on topic and off the IW hate, I am glad that DICE implemented that system that you keep your points if you leave a server.

[Spaceman Spiff]

yeah i've got BF2, played it to death though. Its hard to go back to BF2 after BC2. Left my dvd and manual with my key at my parents house as well. Back to playing Starcraft for me.

I agree penalizing people for dropped games sucks. I tried to play some MW2 last weekend after a healthy dose of BC2 and I just couldn't stand it. Those 10+ft knife kills are so freaking retarded.

[OnBoard]

Postman finally delivered my copy too \o/ SP seems to run nice maxed with 4xAA 8xAF, unless you count some moments where the game freezes for a few seconds.

But my question, as this is a DVD version it didn't come with extra code for the day 1 DLC. Did I get with the first update (loaded quite a lot of stuff) or I'm left out?

[overclocking101]

Man this crap is getting old this is like an everyday thing and is really starting to piss me off. servers just randomly go down for however long EA feels like it. Its rediculous to ask people to buy a game geared for massively multiplyer and have them get to play only 50% of the time they try to play the other 50% is waiting for EA to go back up. Hell the Damn beta didnt have this much crap! I wish I could get my money back. you would think that an update would come to fix some of the crap as well but no. The "most anticipated" FPS this year and you cant play, the friend system is broken and sometimes you cant walk up stairs without going through them just to name a few probs WTF!!!!

[1Kurgan1]

So I just unlocked the G3 yesterday, at first when I tried it, it was amazing, feels a bit like an M60 (since they use the same ammo). But time between shots seems a bit slower and ranged accuracy seems a bit better. At range I was tearing people apart, but my god, don't ever hip fire that damn gun! Was horrible, I could literally be shaking another guys hand, and hip fire at him from that range and miss with every shot. Thats a bit of an exaggeration, but make sure oyu sight up your targets, I don't think I will be moving into close quarters with it ever again.

i had a sweet score of 27/10 last night on the jungle map and the kurgan started running around like a mad man while we were trying to take C flag! I turned my score to a good 27/10 to 30/18. :(

Thank god you guys were at C Flag, at B those damn walls are so good for cover, the pp2000 and the M2CG are just too good there, could never make it up there. Was a tough game, I havent really ran into any Engineers that gave me problems, but you guys were some vicious Engineers.
