Battlefield Bad Company 2 Clubhouse

[rizla1]

you shouldnt need to aim for unlocks if a game is good? i love playing this game, best online shooter for the pc. i like getting unlocks but just to unlock the guns.

[shevanel]

I can still play the game and it is fun but lately everytime I look for a server they are all empty or I get into a server and there is no action, just a bunch of guys in recon trying to snipe 5v5 on a rush map with no one rushing.

the unlock were fun because even if the server was weak I would still give it more effort just to unlock the next weapon so I can have something new to shoot.

this game needs new pistols, a city/urban map and this is a little far fetched but a map that is just a ship out at sea and you have to rush in, aboard the ship and set the charges while the ship guys try to defend. That'd be cool

but the game is great but I just dont have that pull to it that I used to have when the unlocks were all there.

now it just seems like a chore to launch the game... wade through server refreshes and hopefully get into a server with alot of action and after too many times of doing that and failing it just makes me not want to even both launching the game.

well if you compare it to BF2. It took quite a while to gain all the unlocks for many of the classes. I still havent unlecked everything in BF2 & I spent way over 500hrs in game.

it gives players something to aim for. not just playing for the sake of playing because once you've unlocked everything, then it starts being all about score, badges & dogtags (also where a handfull of players will turn to unsportsmanship like play & spawn camp - because they have nothing to achieve other then a higher K/D ratio - not saying that they wont spawn camp if they were Rank1 of course they probably would if they got the chance but thats such an incredibly bad way to play the game. so i doubt they would stay there for the whole game picking off people as they spawn)

I too play to win and couldcare less about unlocks. I take everything as it comes, but I love my AN 94 and see no need to switch a weapon so I can get a gold or platinum star like some of my clanmates...

The problem is Rush, I dislike that mode, it promotes either flat out zerging or people hiding. The maps aren't wide enough to call it a tactical game mode, theres usually basically 1 path in, they know you are coming and they know where from, all you have to do is toss your corpse up in there for the crate while your buddies sit back and see in their sniper scopes that you died trying.

I really don't want to have in 100's of hours and not have the unlock that I been wanting. If I had to play 500 hours to unlock the PP2000, I would have been pissed, and once I finally did it, I would most likely quit the game as I reached my goal and it took so long, I would feel like I beat the game and end up not even using the weapon I was after.

Now if there was unlocks farther up beyond weapons, then maybe, new camo, a new knife, or junk like that, then that would be fine.

i simply cannot play this game with people i cannot communicate with. it renders the game useless.

I don't think too many here play now, still a core group of us, but not enough to keep a server with a good flow to it, makes me sad, part of the reason I haven't finished the Recon list, not much motivation too as I haven't played with most of the people on these lists.

[kid41212003]

I saw Triptex sometime, but he doesn't like me! As soon as I got on his server he always get out...

[lemode]

I can only stand one map now. That's white pass. People seem to hate white pass. I don't know why.

[Ramo1203]

Is anyone getting crashs to desktop? I tried everything (Forced DX9, changed a bunch of settings,) and I have all latest drivers. Can't wait for the next patch, hope it fixes the crashs.

lol it's nothing personal I just jump servers too much. I saw you were on my server yesterday but I left again. When I tried to rejoin it was full

I'll be on all night tonight 7:00 EST if you or ANYONE else want to play.

I like White Pass but it's not my favorite map. I just went 34/9 a few rounds ago on that map and got the compliment of the day. "your team would suck if TRIPTEX wasn't holding you up". Then I jumped servers again.

[crazyeyesreaper]

id play more often but im folding for stanhemi and i dont really have the free time that and i tested it yesterday and i still have to force the game in DX9 mode otherwise it still does the windowed to fullscreen jumping which screws me up every 35-40 seconds

PERIOD!!!! The game is best when you are on comms, especially with the squad you are in. Seems there is a bug with the ingame VOIP as sometimes is garbeled and sometimes it is clear. But I could not agree with you more, playing this solo is a waste. Also this is my opinoin but squads should be limited to 1 per class. I cannot stand the fact of having 3 snipers and 1 whatever. Wuold be nice if the game had some limiting factor in class choice. I do not think this is a reality though...

[1Kurgan1]

Since I been playing Eng more and I just flat out love AT4's (I have more kills with those than I do M2CG) I been liking the desert map (I'm not the best at remembering names). I usually hop on a Wheeler or take a humvee, run over to the other sides first flag and plant mines on their exit to get to B, they cap their flag and he for B then pop all over the place, makes me giddy like a school girl.

most of the time when i play, people just cant hear each other.

I've had situations where player A could hear everyone in the squad, but everyone else could only hear player A - none of the others. one of them could hear player C (me) but now A like everyone else.

It feels like some kind of P2P/port forwarding issue, but its so erratic people just cant figure it out, or dont bother.

[EastCoasthandle]

Is it true that an admin can disable voip for a particular user? Never heard of this so I ask. Furthermore, what's the deal with voip in general? I've been to a few servers and no one is able to use it.

[MarcusTaz]

We rent our server from gamerservers (sometimes lag but for the most part not bad) and Voip is hit or miss at best. While some on my squad may be able to hear me clear, I may sound garbled to others. However most times if I am clear to 1 I am clear to all in my squad. So hard to say but it is a think a known bug they are working on. The fact that we get pubs and they are not always on our TS3 server it is for me something that they need to address in the next patch. The game is horrible without being able to communicate and squads will be partially effective at best without comms.

ECH I do not recall seeing in our Server.ini a place to disable the comms. I will have a closer look though and let you know...

[lemode]

Okay I think I’ve decided that because I’ve achieved a 2.0 K/D with assault and a 1.8 overall. I Think I will just retire my toon @ 38. This game just doesn’t hold my interest any more and even if I play casually it will be once and a while.

If I ever get higher than 38 it will just be the result of casual one hour of play every few days.

To you core gamers I played with most;
It’s been great having such good players to play with you guys are money in my book. Thank you Mr. Rhino for hosting TS for us as well. Hopefully another multiplayer game comes around that we can all get into some time in the future.

compared to BC2 - if im sure if you spent 2 or 3days straight playing the game averaging 12hrs a day in front of the computer. you can get every single unlock in the game. its just too easy

of course unlocks shouldnt be strung out as long as it was in BF2, but it would still feel a better knowing that you spent longer then a 2-3hrs of nonstop play just to get most unlocks. they need to be spread out a little. so it feels more of an achievement when you do manage to unlock it.

[TRIPTEX_CAN]

The problem is that unlocks need to b tied to ranks and not just points.

I want to say this. i dont want to offend anyone with this comment but the whole reason TPU did get much players after a couple of weeks after launch is that ever tom, dick, and harry made there own TPU server and it confused ALOT of people. we only needed 1 US server and 1 UK server. THATS IT! if someone wanted to have there own server then by all means do so BUT name it something other than TPU. i remeber at one time we had like almost 5-7 servers.

/END RANT

I love TPU and still wear the TPU tag cause you guys are a great group but to eager to do things your own way.

[TRIPTEX_CAN]

It was fun playing with you lemode. You set the bar for TPU ranks.

@ Brandon. I agree with you.
