BC2 a headache? JC just bought this game, he hasn't ever played before.

I actually got into a Dallas Noobs team deathmatch. Did OK in that. Deaths were higher than kills, but I at least didn't get dominated.

[1Kurgan1]

Team Death Match if all teams are full isn't too bad, more friendly than Rush. Theres quite a few Dallas servers, and a lot of them for new players (though can't say thats who will be in there). But I suggest learning in Conquest, once you got the ropes down, moving to TD or even Rush will be easier.

[Volkszorn88]

It is a headache. Not really because of the mechanics, just terrible terrible map designs.

Never played a game before (other than maybe sc2 lol) where I was prevented from leaving my base. All the maps are extremely narrow which is rediculous considering it's a BF game, which should be wide, not solely narrow and longated.

Look at Port Valdez, extremely hard for Attackers to leave (especially when playing with a bunch of muppets). You have this one main road where the defenders can get to 1st before you do. They just camp and call down artilleries.

I've been trying to play more and more, especially since I have 2 more ranks to go before lvl 50 and I can't believe how much of the atmosphere has changed since it released last year. (most likely due to steam constantly putting the game on sale for 5 bucks)

All I see now is peeps not wanting to balance teams, tell you to "stfu" when I say "balance teams please" or if one side is completely dominating, they say "2 ez". People now play solely to win win win win win, instead of having a good game.

Not to mention some of the tactics are extremely frustating, like on Arica Harbour, sniping the mcoms w/ tanks. Or instead of arming, they destroy the building.

I can go on and on, just playing it to kill time for BF3, happy knowing RO2 and BF3 beta is just around the corner to keep me entertained.

[1Kurgan1]

Well your problem is you are playing Rush. Thats the point of it, to shrink the Battlefield down. You are at A, objective is point B, there are not widely spaced apart multiple objectives (like conquest flags). So the enemy knows you are coming and knows where you are coming from. You need to stick to the tried and true Conquest, it's what Battlefield is all about, you can't compare Rush to BF2 Conquest.

But strategies haven't changed. I played Arica in the PS3 beta back in 2009, and I shelled the crap out of those buildings and dropped them way back then. If an M-COM is in a building, it's always best to just drop the building rather than throw tickets/corpses in there to arm it.

Now thats not to say Rush isn't a good mode. Some people really enjoy it, though I am not one of them. But if you are finding yourself saying that the Battlefield isn't large enough, and they are giving you very few options to attack from, that says to me Conquest is where you should be. I say that because thats exactly what I feel like when I play Conquest, you see so many groups of people huddled in the very few safe spots. One grenade and they all die, most of my deaths in Rush are from 40mm or Grenades, can't stand that crap.

Yeah don't give up. Like Kurgan said Conquest is a good one to start out with. Rush is like a Bullet magnet especially if you are new.
White pass or one of the Laguna maps. Panama Canal is good too. I have been playing it for over a year and I average at least 2 or
three deaths for every kill. But I keep chugging along because I enjoy the game.

Oh I won't give up. I always start out sucking at online games, then I get really good at them. I always finished in the top 3 scorers in UT2k4, I am good at L4D and I was arguably the Combat Arms player that TPU had.

I started out sucking in all of those too.

[Pestilence]

Love sniping on top of the stranded ship in atamaca with an M95.

[burtram]

First time I've noticed so far, that I actually made someone cry and leave the server, having killed them in the helicopter (three times) while using spas-12 and slugs +magnum ammo. They were flying low, slow and close to the island on the first point of Isla Innocentes, easy pickins. Then the next round, some dork with 0/6 was calling me a hack because I killed him once as he flew over in the helicopter (he was a gunner too, how can you be a gunner with 0/6 for 50% of the round).

Do people really never ever use shotgun with slugs at least once in this game? I mean, I did when I first unlocked the slugs, to see what they're like. I even see lv. 50's cry over them. sheesh!

[crazyeyesreaper]

ppl cry because they really are kinda broken lol

[random]

I just taught my friend how to shotgun snipe lol, he got over it quickly though but even in that short period of time alot of people cried over him using it. I tried it myself, in hardcore mode I was able to take out a few blackhawk gunners in the air with a single shot.

That looks like a PERFECT setup! why did you decide to go with a 2500K instead of 2600K?

[Wrigleyvillain]

So how is it exactly that you manage to build a top shelf rig every year or so?

[crazyeyesreaper]

i save every possible penny i get, i borrow some extra captial then sell everything i have left over and break even lol

took my 7 months to save up the $700 i needed for this overall

P67 mobo was free just had to pay for shipping
2500k saves me $100+ and lets face it for gaming Hyperthreading dosent do jack shit, for the 3d rendering i do i dont need the 4 extra threads for character renders they only save me 1-2secs and since anything i make there is going to be real time rendered thats a moot point
that $100 saved lets my go up to 16gigs of damn good ram aka Redlines 1866mhz uses the frostbyte heatsink which will fit under my TT FRIO where as the Gskill ripjaws will not. so that helps me there

and if anyone asks why im trying to push for 16gigs at 1866, its for a virtual ram drive that ill be using to install a couple of apps on altho i might just hold off, and get a few extra goodies instead like a 3rd Monitor.

as it stands right now wrigley

I work 3 part time jobs daily, 6am - 10:30-11:30am, then 1-3pm then another from 4pm to 6-7pm usually then add in any days i have off i usually do clean up work on various home renovation projects, and i still do PC builds for others for quick cash,

after college loans and bills i managed to scrap together $750 extra id have more money to spend on the PC but women cost money to take out so, i had to set aside some cash for that, and i had to set aside money for drinking with the guys

as for the last 2 rigs ive been lucky

4870x2 died after 6-7 months newegg gave me a full refund, so my 2x 5850s were free, which i then sold since both would do 1000+ core that paid for 1 6970s and half the 2nd 6970 traded my old 940be straight up for a 965, sold the 790gx gigabyte board i had and got a 790fx for the same price as i sold the 790gx, all in all i just got lucky with parts dying at the right time, and good deals popping up when i needed them,

Im a poor broke bastard but i work damn hard to pocket whatever i can to rebuild a new PC each year.

[1Kurgan1]

Wish I had the money to upgrade like I did every other year. Last year it was tight but managed to grab a 6 core 2x 5850's, then later on a 6950. But this year bought a turbo kit for the car, spent 1k on nice tires for the truck, and just paid some bills. Also built an HTPC, so probably could have used hat $400 for an upgrade, but I love the HTPC.

Foo lips, I don't need money, I got a 6 core and a 6950, no need to upgrade, I just got the itch as always. But spent it on vehicles this year and an HTPC.

[Arciks]

my ingame nickname is Arciks[TPU]

[boise49ers]

Yeah just did my upgrade. Only thing left now is a better Grahpics card, but I was holding out to see if maybe the 7000 series comes out before BF3. If not I may hold off or get impatient and get a 6970.

Yeah I found this out too, I think Crazy was the one who told me to just use my outside slots.

[crazyeyesreaper]

yes i was and, im just so damn glad newegg got these in stock
Mushkin Enhanced Redline 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR...

[Wrigleyvillain]

Yeah...I make decent money but find it hard to spend a lot on top end hardware as I really just game and it's hard to justify that. I guess if I had to scrape that hard I definitely wouldn't have a nice rig. Not that I don't blow money on other stupid shit in the grand scheme of things. Shit I can't resell too.

Though I also love the getting a "deal" on nice stuff i.e. the scaled performance of my two lower-end 6850s instead of a single $400+ card or buying used or waiting for new stuff for price drops on the old generation. That keeps me from shelling out a lot of cash right away even if I want something.

If you make your Ingame name something like Arciks, then you can add TPU in front using the clan tag option. Otherwise you get stuck with TPU in your name, it's not a huge deal, but for people who switch clans a lot, like my name for example could be [TPU] 1Kurgan1 or [Clanless] 1Kurgan1, or anything else I wanted since you can keep changing your clan tag.

[crazyeyesreaper]

im just luckily cadaveca helped me out on the motherboard otherwise this wouldnt even be possible
