Battlefield Bad Company 2 Clubhouse

[TheLaughingMan]

Yeah, it's why I stopped using it, the things just too inconsistent. It's a good close/mid range weapon, but longer range it's flat out useless, and like all of the later Assault rifles, it's Iron Sights are flat out garbage. So I use the XM8, and sometimes I use the M16.

dido on tonight. Crazy was having some issues as soon as he join unfortunately.

And I think the iron sight on the M416 is just as good as the XM8.

RAT 7 is sexy, I want a RAT 9, not sure if it's out yet.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

yeah, this was an impulse buy at fry's. didn't see the 9 there (or I would have gone for it)

really impressed with the build quality so far, but it is taking some getting used too (shape wise) so I found myself missing a lot last night. (despite using the saiga)

Looks like the 9's out in a month, but it has already passed a few release dates. Have you tinkered with all of the adjust-ability, that seems like it's the most configurable mouse on the market and should be able to be made comfortable by anyone, those mice make me drool, but the price is painful.

yeah, I removed all the weights (it's heavy enough with it's aluminum frame), put on the raised palm rest, and the pinky wing. it is comfortable, but very different from what I'm used to.

also, the sniper button is a godsend. best idea ever.

Eh, thats how everything is these days, I just finally got a new mouse, I played my first 150 hours of BC2 using this bad boy

Always listened to everyone saying that 800dpi wasn't enough, but I tore it up with that mouse for a long time. I mostly like the RAT though because it looks like a machine, it looks a bit over the top, but it's just because all those plates on there are adjustable, it's a cool mouse.

What I like is massive thumb cradles, I miss my MX Rev, I want to try a mouse with a pink cradle though, probably extremely comfortable.

I don't have any problem with 800dpi, I just think 5600 is better (I actually game at 3200/1600 sniper button)

as far as the thumb/pinky cradle, it's a lot like a luxury spaceship of death for your hand.

 

[brandonwh64]

Yea i have the MX518 Asus edition

Mouse before that one was a logitech football mouse i got for 10$

 

[Millennium]

I bought a gigabyte laser mouse for gaming but it broke in like 2 mins. Not nice, had to send it back today. Back to my 800dpi standard logitech mouse for me.

BTW I finally got BFBC2 last week and have enjoyed playing it so far. £13 can't go wrong New Nvidia beta drivers from yesterday work too (everyone got them right?)

Yeah, the 800dpi mouse worked great, the only real difference for me now is that I can switch dpi on the fly, I think I play at like 3200 for ground and like 4400 for flying and tanks.

Didn't know they made a ROG mouse, impressive, the MX518's are great mice, especially for the price, but I just wish they were more comfortable.

 

[TheLaughingMan]

My weapon of choice. It too is 800 DPI and has been killing for me for the last 4 years. It is the most comfortable mouse I have ever held and I will only replace it with one of its sons. that being either the MX Performance or the G700 (Son of the G500 and MX Revolution).

 

[1Kurgan1]

Yeah the MX Rev is just so damn comfortable, I don't like the MX P, just doesn't feel as good.

 

[TheMailMan78]

I just read this on another forum. Did you guys know about these? They might be good on a low end system with a high end card. Don't know. However its worth a try.

To get an ATI frames boost:

- Set Catalyst A.I to max

Decent FPS boost:

- Documents>BFBC2 and open up "settings"
- Change "renderaheadlimit" to 0 instead of 2
- This changes the amount of frames pre-rendered by your CPU for your GPU

More tweaks here....

Oh and here is my mouse....

200/800/2000 DPI are my current settings.

 

[1Kurgan1]

I never understodd the frame ahead junk, anyone want to explain it?

Good to know. I guess I will see how the G700 feels once it stops being a newegg.com exclusive

I have my computer set to never allow more than 1 pre rendered frame and manually set it to 0 for FPS's. It taxes the GPU a little more, but reduces ghosting and stutter spikes during high speed movement.

I posted this before, but there is a really nice mouse by Mionix called the Naos 5000 and they releasing a cost efficient version (Naos 3200 with MSRP of $70) soon that I am also considering. There she be: http://www.mionix.net/datas/users/naos_3200_1_0_0.png

This will be carried about all the usual suspects and I expect the actual price to be around $55.

I never understodd the frame ahead junk, anyone want to explain it?

Long story short, the CPU will use the current frame as a reference and begin processing calculations that will be needed for the next few frames of images. This allows it to output better quality images and ensures smooth playback of game rendered cut scenes. It is kinda like a real time buffer for video that is be rendered by your GPU. Great for video playback and low interaction games, but sucks for fast pace games. Default for computer's is 3 PRF's, but has been recommended that this is reduces to 0 or 1 for all FPS for the last few years.

 

[TheMailMan78]

F#$K I want this now!

Anyone want to buy a sidewinder?

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

What/where exactly is the "sniper button"?

 

[TheLaughingMan]

What/where exactly is the "sniper button"?

Single click DPI button. I don't know about default location, but this mouse should be able to program any button you want to do that.

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

Ah ok my Habu has one of those though it's hard not programmable.

 

[GullyFoyle]

twitter.com/L_Twin: "Lot's of Q's on BFBC2 Vietnam: Yes, info to come at Tokyo Game Show including new teaser movie. Ask @zh1nt0 for details, believe he's going."

EA is having a showcase somewhere in Japan tomorrow, where they will make most of their major announcements a day before the show officially starts.

 

[DrPepper]

Tried playing today but I'm getting awfy shit at FPS' now. I was absolutely enraged by BC2 a few minutes ago.
