IMO, the only points that should be given out are for capturing flags, blowing up mcom stations, following group orders and working as a team. everything else is just useless for a game that is supposed to be team driven, not stats driven.

Easy way to fix it is to give bonus points for time in conflict. Maybe a 15 second cooldown on leaving combat, so you can chain together combat time, and when an enemy fires a bullet and is within 50 yards of you (or you are struck by a bullet from someone far away) combat refreshes.

Killing people in very helpful to a team, just not helpful if people want to lounge around and not cap things or support their squad in combat.

And if they wanted to add some comedy in, put in a c-c-c-combo breaker, if you kill someone who had a active combat bonus going, so that promotes not just hiding in range of people, but venturing out to kill them.

I am still addicted to Forgotten Hope

FH1 or 2?

 

[erixx]

FH2 all the way!!!!!! Who the hell makes the maps, they are top class!!!!!

spotted out a test server in my browser earlier. got a chance to play oasis for about 15 minutes before it was pulled. I like the layout, quite a lot actually.

the lighting is a lot better too, seems to be less glare.

yeah but you have to consider human nature. people are not naturally team players, it appeals to companies' bottom lines to put in features that push the individual, as pushing a team to work together is a difficult thing.

focusing points solely on team play would, imo, simply make more players lose interest.

Its not the points. BC2 is simply not as intense as BF2 was. Im a little scared that BF3 will have the same slowdown in close combat. The medic defib feels like its an alpha stage game compared to how BF2 felt etc. I hope they remove that slow downs in everything for BF3.
And there is nothing like a few good screenshots of owning a noob server eh ?

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

^ True but do you still play BF2. It just feels so clunky, for lack of a better term and older games like BF1942 are even clunkier.

I think a "team play" game mod would be fun. conquest, but with points only given for teamwork, and the only stats shown are win loss.

this is why i only play squad rush. it requires the most team work.

I havent really followed this thread much, but I still play the game quite a bit. I get ace pin in alot of my games oddly. I dont think the row of snipers on the cliff side understand how much they are butchering their own score by sitting there DOING NOTHING. Not only that, but they are bad shoots too. I hear wizzing all the time but nothing ever hits. Just keep movin.

I also hate the popular weapons. People with 8 gold stars with CG, AN-94, M60, and of course the n00b tube, are all pretty lame in my eyes.

Its been proven that people with those weapons have it easy and it doesnt make you good. For that reason I have been trying to get a gold star with all my guns at least. Finished medic already along with almost assault and engineer.

Bleh accuracy 22%? Doesnt sound very good.

Not to mention even with newer hardware the load times suckass !

Agreed, there really isn't a middle ground that works for both. But I do a lot of killing, and a lot of teamwork, and some reward for the killing matters, especially if you have your team on your shoulders, because sometimes you have to do it all yourself, and you are the team, it sucks, but I've carried teams and it's very hard.

Yeah, I agree with that, SR is very team work oriented, but the problem is, with so few people, some very simple tactics work.

I will take my AN-94 anyday. I am one of the people that others copycat after a while. If you want some come get some.

Tactics? I win squad rush by getting one person to wait until I kill everyone, then arm the box untouched...after they kill that last dude. It is too easy for a single person to break Squad Rush.

It takes at least 4 TPU members on one side to break a 32 man conquest server.

I have plat in CG, RPG-7, and 40MM. It doesnt matter if there noobish cause that 10K points per plat adds up when your on your way to lvl 50

 

[Bow]

Just 5-6 left an I will have every gold star.

I have had a Gold Star with every weapon since like level 26ish.

well i tired that latency fix t2cr sent me on teamspeak via editing the ini file it works sorta it allowed me a good 5min round with a postiive kill death on a horrible horrible team but after that i got kicked and get nothing but the EA cannot contact server error. and out of 4093 servers in my search only 2 of them had people and only 1 person at that. I give up guys looks like ill have to magically wait for some other game company to provide a decent multiplayer game that dosent have a latency checker and overs consistant hit detection.

and for those that ask yes i re installed BC2 just to test this out cause i just couldnt help myself

LOL crazy come on, you have had some of the worst luck with the game! ive had some small issues but nothing of what you have talked of here late. I just logged on and got like over 500+ servers with people playing

 

[Mussels]

iirc, crazys problem is his internet. he's stuck with crap net, and the game doesnt like it.

it is a bit of a latency whore isn't it.

played a server and was ace today simply because the checker decided I was a perfect shot. bullets that clearly should not have landed, did.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

really so 100ms or below at a range of 2750 miles is crap? or does BC2 really need more then 512kbps upload and 2mbps download speeds

considering these were done at peak usage in my region id say there shouldnt be a problem

 

[Mussels]

then you should have no problem with the games. my results are about on par with that and i see dozens of servers.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

yet with the above on nearly every server i have to aim 2 soldiers lengths behind a target to hit them ive tried with and without router running just the modem done tests hell even had a buddy help me out by running Call Of Duty MW2 on my rig in multiplayer and in Peer 2 Peer type multiplayer the hit detection is better worst part is it WASNT this bad untill they started patching and messing with the hit detection etc back when the game first came out i had alot less issues in terms of bullets hitting targets.

try this

This is mine with 3 people online, and some low speed torrents going. Game still runs fine like this.

I'm expecting to see yours with either bad jitter, or some packet loss.
