Battlefield Bad Company 2 Clubhouse

Ugh.. I'm moving across the continent this month so I'm mostly playing borderlands until I have to disassemble my PC for the move. since I'll have no internet for a while maybe BC2 will be patched by the time I get up and running again.

Where you moving to?

 

[lemode]

Where you moving to?

I'm moving to BC, Canada. In the mountains.

it was at the top of the page.

Yay Chicken Patty w/ketchup

Hmm, something really wrong with that activation thing. I mean the DVD version allows you to install it to 10 machines and 11th time is online activation. Seems they messed up the part where cd-key is only for one computer..

I really though this was foolproof. I had a plan in mind that I won't even have to deauthorize the game as I won't install it more than 10 times in the max couple years I'll play it. Hoping I won't ever have to reinstall it, as I won't remember to do that.

But nice pics tigger

 

[Deleted member 24505]

That was only my second install. I'm not sorry i smashed it, but i do regret wasting 35 quid on it.


As they say, pics or it never happened. I provided pics so yes i did bin the fecking game.

yeah, I am actually making my way through the campaign (finally) I have to say; dx11 is very pretty.

Hows your new lappy goin, heard you were having issues?

 

[MT Alex]

I'm moving to BC, Canada. In the mountains.

Glad to hear it. I'll be just a few miles South. Most of my friends go North in the winter to Fernie and Nelson. The West is so much nicer than the East. Most of BC just over the MT border looks like this:

 

[TRIPTEX_CAN]

Yeah, big mountain country. This is close to where I'm moving, Kimberley/Cranbrook BC.

 

[Black Haru]

Hows your new lappy goin, heard you were having issues?

yeah, that turned out to be my router (should've known) so it's running beautifully.

I still play minimum settings (sans 1080p res) in multilayer, but in single player I max out and it only bogs down in really hectic places (stupid snow map)

I am having one weird issue. I get a dead pixel at the bottom right of the screen; but only in battlefield and only in-game (not even on the loading screens) any ideas? it makes me nervous.

 

[DrPepper]

If you want to test for a dead pixel. Best get pictures of solid colours like red blue green black and white and make them fullscreen on windows slideshow and see if it changes colour. If it doesn't its bc2 and not a big deal.

The PS3 version of BFBC2 gets a new patch today. Even if you only play the PC version, it may interest you to see changes that will probably make their way to the PC eventually.

Here was the official Battlefield Blog post on the patch: Playstation 3 server and client update Imminent.

On Thursday 3rd June the PlayStation 3 Bad Company 2 servers will go down for maintenance. On your side of things at around 08:00 UTC (09:00 UK, 10:00 Europe, 02:00 Pacific) you will start to see prompts to update your PS3 when you next put Battlefield: Bad Company 2 in your disc drive.

The update includes the following changes:

• Kit images added in spawn menu
• Fixed the "required rank" field on the unlock items specified on the W&G page
• Added M14, NS 2000 and G3 in-game unlock pop-up when the requirements for unlocking them are reached
• Added a server side check of the veteran status of the players
• Award bugfix for "Win all 4 game modes" (it had marksman headshot as a dependency)
• Garand did not track anything, Thompson tracked Garand.
• Increased the penalty points for TeamKill and TeamDamage
• Increased the reward points for Objective Actions (Flag Cap/Assist, Arm/Disarm/Destroy/Damage/TeamDestroy/TeamDamage)
• Fixed veteran rank number not showing up in ingame scoreboard
• The southpaw setting now works for the anti-air gun and the Stationary AT
• Collectible weapon messages fixed

Now you can go out and get your Garand stats you have all been waiting for.

This update will go out on PS3 in all regions except Japan which will follow shortly. Xbox 360 update is also in the works and is due in the very near future.

Now that the patch has rolled out, the community gets the joy of discovering the other UNDOCUMENTED changes made in the patch (no wonder they have so many bug issues, if they can't seem to track all the changes being made!):

The patch also included fixes for points after death, and changed the layout on some maps.

You now get 150 points for a flag capture and 75 for a flag capture assist in Conquest.
You now get 50 points for a plant or defuse and 250 for an objective destoy in Rush

Map Changes: 2 ATVs on Arica Harbour Conquest mode, the UAV moving on Panama Canal.

The Conquest horn is fixed! It now honks twice at 30 tickets

There are new vehicles in the my stats section - 4 in total:
New Anti-Air vehicle: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1188395/anti air.PNG
Stationary Auto Grenade Launcher 1: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1188395/auto gl.PNG
Stationary Auto Grenade Launcher 2: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1188395/auto gl 2.PNG
CAV Transport Vehicle: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1188395/CAV.PNG

The texture glitch when using the ACOG or Red Dot with the Magnum GOL rifle (black lines appear) is gone.

I am sorry to hear Soviet is leaving us for good. I am going to miss him. One of the best spawn points and comrades in the game. I never even got to t-bag his corpse. I made a sad.

I haven't been on since my computer we helping with the Chimp Challenge so I was goofing off on watching anime, Star Ocean 4, and replaying Suikoden 3; however, I am back and vacation time is a coming up.

I tried to hop on with OnBoard in a game. I joined, killed 3 guys and the game ended. OnBoard got Ace in the Round and as soon as the next match stated I wrote on the screen, "Sup Onboard." And I got the reply, "I am done for now." I took my anger out on the enemy.

Oh and I got banned from some server for hacking because they fixed the Grach 443 (Now as much damage as the M9 for real) and the admin didn't think anyone could kill that many people in a round with that gun.

It's a game bug. Not your system, everyone gets that white pixel.

You could try my settings for MP. Textures high, shadows low and rest medium. I do 1680x1050 with 2xAA, so without AA and detail or effect to low might do it

Oh I had probably played for couple hours already Might play some later tonight, now trying to bid on a new GPU.

Have been trying to help a friend get attack 4 m-coms pin and air warfare pin. We were hopping servers couple days back, some TPU joined. Reason we were ditching servers is that some just don't work right with hit detection.

It's pretty easy to spot them now, you get killed behind walls / you need a clipfull on enemy / close range you always die first. So a new server is better that to get frustrated with "NOOBS" and what not yells, when other team has a game advantage.

Well that newb stuff was on squad rush servers, had to go through 3 of them all with terrible hit detection / lag for our team and in every one of those the other team shouting newbs and our team players calling them cheaters (not us).

it's BC2 and not a big deal.

a bit annoying though

 

[1Kurgan1]

Annoying is when you spill full can of pepsi down the back of your monitor then a bright green light flashes (brightest light me or Marineborn has ever seen) that covers the whole screen then shrinks to pinhole size then the monitor turns off. Wait 30min try again same results, 30min try again same results, 30 min same results, 30min finally works. Start playing BF 1942 and nothing my aims off, bright green light burnt out one single pixel that was like 3 pixels down and to the left of the center aim pixel, I would constantly aim up and to the right because of that crap, lol. Funny that monitor works till this day, tough old 17" CRT.

I would go totally apeshit if someone spilt coke over any peice of my hardware or peripherals. they'd probably need to get a vet to come & sedate me because id totally skull fuck the guy that did it - food & drink is to be consumed strictly away from the machine....unless its alcohol in which case LOAD UP!! I love playing while drunk, i swear i play better

 

[OnBoard]

Wow, scary stuff. I did the coke thing (well it was water), but just over my G5 mouse and mouse pad. Needed cleaning and drying up, but still works great (couple years now, was almost new then). Even the teflon feet stuck to the bottom again. Weren't easy to get off as they are so big and also thick, so they bend a bit.

I did it to my own hardware, was over at Marineborns place and only place to setup was his kitchen counter top so I had no place to set my pop, set it on the tower. Went for the can and like a drunk (even though I wasnt) I went to the right of the can hitting it with my thumb which effectively gave my monitor a whole can of pop. It was a used monitor I got for like $30 so wasn't a big deal, and since it still worked in the end, I found it entertaining.

I really stopped playing a month ago after hitting 38. it came down to me only liking and playing on a single map (you should remember my favorite map) and I know once that happens it’s only a matter of time before I get sick of it. I was sick of it but wanted to at least hit 38 just in case I was ever going to come back and play. Doesn’t look like that will happen though because even with a month break at most I can kill 3-4 people then I am over it again. FPSs just do not hold my interest for that long anyway.

I know. If you recall, my computer went 24/7 for Chimp Challenge on May 2nd or 3rd, so it has been a month since I played. I am not a big fan of FPS games either, but some just hold me for some strange reason. The Original Perfect Dark, Goldeneye for N64, and Battlefield. I can't recall another multiplayer FPS I played for more than 3 weeks. Those two games and Battlefield 2, 2142, and BC2 just clicked for me. I can't explain it other than I like the friends I play with.

Killing in just more fun with friends.

 

[Asylum]

Just got this game the other day and played the single player a few times.

Went to play multiplayer last night and got on a server and after a few minutes i got kick for old pb version. Tried a few other servers and got the same thing.

Looked in pb folder but dont see any option for updating in there.

Anyone know the way to manually update pb?

 

[cadaveca]

Go to PB site to get the updater.

 

[OnBoard]

TheLaughingMan you playing? Though I'd kill some now. Don't know what and where yet, but have to look up some weapon stats and go from there.

 

[Dbiggs9]

I picked this up add me SolarStone. I mostly snipe still working on unlocks
