Battlefield Bad Company 2 Clubhouse

I don't really use it for burst shoot really. Hold down my left button and fray in close combat, lol.

Yeah, it's a useless weapon to burst shoot with, the damage per bullet is too low, you need to literally weigh their corpse down with enough lead so they can't walk anymore, they don't actually die, they just go immobile from the added weight.

I don't like it in close quarters though, it's too dependent on all of the bullets hitting because if you miss a bit with it and it fires off so many rounds while your missing just barely they kill you. Where as we'll say the M60, if your off for a tenth of a second, a bullet didn't fly then your back on target and a bullet goes off.

my new upgrade beats yours i'll be hammering BC2 tonight (woot, DDR3!)

You probably have 2 or 3 that will beat mine, but this will be a lot nicer then I'm used too. You wouldn't beleive the whining I heard just buying this stuff. I'll be using all the same stuff, just a different MB and Processor. Bought an open box MB and Monitor too so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

i only ever hear bad things about open box

 

[MT Alex]

I, for one, love it when the ladies offer up open box.

Eh DDR3 at those speeds isn't any better than DDR2. I was all excited for my DDR3 upgrade, but then I realize there wasn't any gains over my nice DDR2 I had, wish AMD setups could run it faster.

Nothing wrong with open box, most of the time the stuff comes in great shape, my GD-70 was open box, got no IO plate for it, but saved my $50, fine by me.

this new mobo lets me use more than 2 sata ports. upgrade worth it for that alone lol.

Yeah, 2 sata ports is very limited. I don't really regret my upgrade to DDR3, because I bought DDR3 2000, so some day down the line I will actually get use out of it. Instead of holding onto a DDR2 setup then having to buy a new proc, mobo, and ram when it all gets phased out and procs stop supporting ddr2.

 

[Frizz]

Very frustrated with this game....I have a new sound card on-board off, reinstalled OS and it still hardlocks randomly with sound loop...

 

[Mussels]

i fall back to my original assesment that its just an unstable system component you havent caught onto yet. something overheating.

Has he tried it with it at stock clocks?

 

[Mussels]

dunno. even at stock i had odd crashes a while back, it was because stock was 2.1v on tightly packed ram with no airflow...

I think you maybe right, I'm leaning towards my ram ... Its generic and cheap and the weakest link in my system and then its also possible one of my 320GB HDD's could have gone bad...

@Brandon, I've tried stock and underclock for the GPU but not for the ram and CPU.. since Prime95 was 100% stable overnight test with small FFTs..

 

[brandonwh64]

Was that on your DDR2? Thats alittle high for it right? my DDR2 on my HTPC runs at 1.8V

 

[Mussels]

DDR2 goes upto 2.2V 'stock' on the high end stuff. 1.8v is JEDEC standard.

 

[Frizz]

I just found a fix atm with the command

sfc /scannow .. in elevated command prompt going to try play now for a few games.

that replaces windows files with those from the DVD, should something be wrong with them. its not gunna fix corrupt non windows files, or hardware issues.

Yea sounds right! since i got heat spreaders on my ram, im going to up mine to 1066mhz and see if it can ever get it stable

hell mine had heatpipes to heatsinks, it still overheated. get a fan on em.

Oh damn! that sucks! yea i couldnt get mine stable at 1066mhz but didnt want to take it over 2V without some type of heatsinks

not when you can fit half of the 3rd world in it you dont

I've heard more good then bad and myself I have got good and bad. I had one Acer Monitor years ago 19" CRT when they first came out. It burned up and then they sent me another and it did the same dang thing. I finally got tired of it. You know how heavy those were and shipping it back wasn't worth it after one trip.

So has any one got the Medal of Honor beta yet ?

New Battlefield Blog Post: Introduction to the new Battlefield Community Manager and Xbox 360 Onslaught news

Hello my friends!

My name is Daniel and I am the new Community Manager for Battlefield. I would like to say it is an honour and a privilege working for DICE. I will tell you a bit about myself, my gaming career and also share my goals and ambitions for the Battlefield series with you- the community. I have mostly been gaming on PC but during the last few years I have also been gaming on Xbox 360 and PS3. My gamertag is zh1nt0 so feel free to add me. Also make sure that you follow OfficialBFBC2 for the latest news.

Being a big fan of computer games, back in 2002 I stumbled upon a game in which you could fly airplanes, drive tanks and also play as an infantry player in multiplayer mode. It was Battlefield 1942. After that, the Battlefield series caught my attention and I immediately started playing competitively in different ladders and cups, both in the North American leagues and the European ones.

Walking out & The comeback
I had a short break in 2006 but I have now returned to the scene more actively this year to play Bad Company 2 on the PS3 console. My team and I are in the finals of the Console gaming league which will hopefully be streamed live. The final is scheduled for probably scheduled for Saturday, so stay tuned! Since I have been in most leagues, I am familiar with the competitive sites scattered around the web.

Goals and ambitions
My goal for the Battlefield Community is to evolve the community to be the largest, best and most satisfied community there is in online gaming. I am fully convinced that this can be achieved by involving you- the players of this community. I always say that with the right ambition, motivation and visualizing your goals, you will achieve them in the end. I also intend to keep track of the different leagues, cups and tournaments being played for BF2, BF1943 and BFBC2 for all platforms. I would very much like to know you guys out there so look out for me on the Battlefield. I hope you enjoyed this presentation and if you have any questions you can find me on the EA forums and the various community sites spread around the web.

With this said I’m very happy to announce that Onslaught will be released tomorrow on the 24th on Xbox Live marketplace for 800 Microsoft Points.
Thanks!
Daniel
