Not as bad as that usually when the person is on the last bit of health and they live because of crappy hitboxes.

I was expecting a physics based destructible environment : [


AI really got on my nerves as well. May as well of been playing the game myself.

*un installs game*

Guess not everyone can like a game lol
Maybe there should be a new thread for that then? The folks that come here are mostly people who enjoy the game as far as I can tell. If you aren't really into FPS games that may have put you on the wrong side of trying it out in the first place. I don't care for RPS games, so you know what ? I don't buy them or play them. Just a Thought !

i wouldve sold my 5870 for gaming if BC2 hadnt come out. No other reason to own a gaming GPU at the moment.

I just wanted to say a physics based destructible environment should be nearly impossible only. The explosion being generated in game by the physics would have the be the exact same on the 30+ computers connected to it. The only way you can do that is if the server does the physic calculations and bandwidth would be eaten alive by the data stream.

For clarification, only Bad Company has a Single Player story of any kind. Single player mode in all other Battlefields should have just be called practice mod cause that is all it was.

I fell sorry for Panther because Battlefield Bad Company 2 is not really a single player game and $50 to play Single Player only is a waste of $40 and a bad investment.

Panther if you want a game you can play for a long time and not have to deal with people, switch to RPG's. If you prefer shooters go with Mass Effect and Bio-shock. If you want an RPG that is not FPSish and still fast paced, got with Star Ocean 3 and 4.

Yeah a new thread would be fair enough, this was just the only active BBC thread so thought chatting about it here would be cool.

Thanks for the suggestions TLM, I actually started on RPGs but it feels they're short these days too.

Maybe I was just crap at gaming as a kid lol games felt longer.

Really. Not sure what RPG's you are playing, but

Star Ocean 3 = 70 hours +
Star Ocean 4 = 50 hours +
Dragon Age: Origins = I am 15% done at 23 hours in.

Those will last you plenty of time. S.O. is a console game if that matters.

To stay on subject. Why does the dot sight improve accuracy on the Sniper rifles? That is just not plausible.

EDIT*

need a break from the game for a few hours...don't want to get too burnt out.

had some good games on Kurgan's server with Stak. And apparently I got my k/d up 2 points not even really trying to do well today. lol I have just loaded the SAGIA w/slug rounds and magnum and I have pulled a 11-0 and 15-0 today with that.

If anyone needs the admin to do anything on Kurgan’s server PM me.

Well, this is very cool, last night the Chicago server filled right around this time, and it has been full through the entire night and entire morning, a full 24 hours of being practically full. Still looking for some mods, and if you don't want to mod and want to help out with some reserve slots, I have already had to make room for a few people since the server has been extremely active.

Yep, I've had that happen, usually though I die before I can fire off that much. But I just have to restrain myself from holding down the trigger, yes it should make me more inaccurate by going full auto, but when I have the crosshairs dead on the guy the entire time, compensating for the recoil, he should die, and lots of times, they don['t.

We now have 1 more mod for the Chicago server jlewis02/ShadowScorpion, anyones else interested in modding or getting a reserve slot, toss me a pm, a little bit more and the server will be set to stay up for good.

Why downclock the GPU, your running the processor over 1.3ghz faster than the factory rating. I had to drop my CPU OC 2 times in order for this game to be happy, but honestly it dont matter as I still play with it all on highs.

Yeah I see your point, plus I forgot that this game was multithreaded plus I have high voltage on the CPU but its the only it stays stable at those speeds

Yeah, I get a random crash straight to desk top every now and then. Not often enough for me to try to fix.

As luck would have it, it always seems to be during a good round with a good squad on a good server. Lol, never when i am getting spawn camped against a team stacked bunch of muppets.

Kurgan was full so I went to a foreign french server. No wonder they got their asses kicked in WW2. It was hardcore and I still kicked butt. Cover doesn't seem to be something they understand, to my benefit of course.

Man that would piss me off. I really haven't had any crashes or server problems except when it was disconnecting a couple nights ago and that was my ISP. My whole internet was screwed up. It is really stable with a dual core and old school 4870. Driver issues with the new 5000 series maybe ?
