Battlefield Bad Company


Recommended Posts

Dunno why everyone is raving over this , sick of battlefield games where you might as well just throw the gun at them for more damage than what the bullets do.

Everything is oversized and chunky, the graphics arent all that great, i dont like matchmaking, the controls are way oversensitive, the interface is clunky, dont even get me started about respawning, i played for 30 mins today and all people do is camp at the spawns before youve even had chance to start moving you are dead again.

Waste of ?40.

-hugs-

Woo, I got all 50 at last :D The 50th was some noob waiting at the crate, I won't forget him <3 lol

Also unlocked the achievements for 100 online ranked matches and taking down 1000 trees :)

Gonna have dinner just now but I'll be back on soon.

Nice. Congrats!

Do those achievements with the walls and the trees count on either SP or MP, or do they have separate ones for each?

As I know I got the tree one in SP, and I am wondering if it is the same achievement overall?

And I will be on in about 20 minutes. Like I said before I definitely am going to play with habnad, so if two people are down to join us that is cool, and if there are more than 2 people I apologize in advanced, blame EA and DICE for only allowing 4 man squads.

They're separate ones for each achievement. I got the tree one in SP last night, and still working on the MP achievement. 1000 trees is alot!

EA really needs to fix this squad system. Having the squad split up is quite annoying.

Easiest way to get the 1000 trees is to play Oasis, and if you are on the defending team, there is an anti-helicopter/tank gun beside the river. You can use that to take out trees for quite a large area of the map. I was at 700 odd ( I have no idea how I got that many to begin with) so I used that gun for a couple of minutes for the remaining 300~ and unlocked it (Y)

I may not be able to get on this even munky, larry and habnad as my connection is a bit flakey, I will keep trying but I am having problems even connecting to live, its very flakey when I do connect :(

Wow that sux...

Thanks for the update/invite, but as of right now, I'm not going to be on tonight. Going with a friend and his 2 sons to see Monster trucks and Jet cars and such. If it gets rained out, then I should be on. If not, I'm definitely going to be on tomorrow night.

I will also definitely be on tomorrow night (Thursday), from 8-10 or 11 PM EST, so that is pretty damn late for you guys in the UK, but you all seem to be pretty big night owls anyway.

Remember tonight, I am going over my coworkers house for his birthday party, but we are going straight from work so I am going to be there early before any guests arrive. So I know he got Rock Band from his GF for his birthday so plans may have changed, but as of yesterday he did want me to play BF through his Gamertag to rank him up a bit quicker (and you just know I am going to choke and play horribly).

So if you guys get an invite from a massiveterra, that is me playing on my friends GT.

I really hate the splash damage! or lack of it I should say!

Really frustrating when you fire a grenade into someone's face and they walk away from it :/

:angry:

Thanks for the tip on the tree achievement. I was always thinking that using any guns on the trees didn't count towards it. I am somewhere in the range of 500 trees, so halfway there.

I don't think I'd sit on a gun too long for two reasons...

1) I like the run and gun style of play better than being parked on a mounted gun

2) If there is a grenade thrown or shot anywhere within 50 ft of me on the map, the non-existant/lack of splash damage in the game WILL find a way to kill me. :laugh:

But even though I have a couple small gripes with the game, it's still fun as heck to play. :)

Obviously I never got to play last night, my coworker did get Rock Band so we played that and I stayed at his house until 11PM which for me is a very, very long day, especially since I went to the office and did not work from home.

I also completely zoned out about tonight, I forgot we are throwing a party on Saturday and that meant I may need to help actually do things around the house (well technically I did not forget, I was just hoping I did not have anything to do :laugh: ) so tonight is up in the air, I know I need to go food shopping and stuff like that, but I should be done by 8 so see no reason I will not be playing like I said 8-10 PM. Also I am working from home, it is a bit slow, so I may wind up signing on during the afternoon as well.

/me slaps popisdead uk with a wet trout.

I meant my gamertag :) . Rank 18 only 7 to go.

What is it????

I know I was not playing last night, but like two nights ago when we all played someone had a really funny GT about a women's privates that I am forgetting the exact name now, but it was cleverly done and had the name GINA in it.

.Kick and I won't be around over the weekend guys, sorry. We're off to T In The Park (music festival for those that have never heard of it).

I probably won't be on Live until the middle of next week sometime, but I plan to reach Rank 25 by the end of it.

@ MillionVoltss, what's your tag dude :p

    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
    • Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
