Battlefield Bad Company


Recommended Posts

Nice to hear about Conquest coming out soon, I remember awhile back reading sometime early August so it would be nice if it is sooner. I am a little let down it is only 4 maps, but all that means is we can expect some DLC we have to pay for, which I will do since I enjoy the game so much.

I cannot lie though, I was hoping to hear about a Karkand remake for the consoles, but oh well.

Also, I believe I will be on tonight for sure at 9PM EST, if not a little sooner than that.

I didn't like Karkand, it was one of those maps that everyone was a points ###### and just ranked up on :(

However I am glad that conquest is coming soon for BF:BC (I personally cannot wait), as then squads will really come into their own. I hope they up the actual players too in that respect and the measly four man (or woman, if any such beast plays) squad we have now.

I should be on tonight too, hopefully :) is 9PM ESTimated or is that you're local time .. *Badum Tish* ... I'll get my coat.

I'm the loser of the bunch. I've never played any of the other Battlefield games, so I have no idea about this map everyone keeps talking about. Not a big PC gamer.

I'm working from home today, so I should be done around 4:30 EST...yes Eastern Standard Time :p ...and hopping on for an hour or 2. May play some COD4 for a bit so I dont get rusty. :laugh:

Did you ever get your BF disc issue straightened out?

Okay cool all, and all signs are that I will actually be on an hour earlier, 8 PM EST, but if I am not, definitely 9 PM

I also think my coworker is going to be playing with me as well as all we did at work today was talk about how we both wanted to play, so we may have to split up depending on how many people are on at once, we will see how it works out. Really wish we could just have a full damn team!!!

We've just been playing for the best part of 3 hours so far. BelGarath is off for the night and I'm not sure about .Kick or Habnad. I may be on again later if I'm still awake. I needed to take a break though, it's so damn hot here just now it's quite uncomfortable playing.

I'll keep the 360 turned on so I can see when you sign on though (Y)

vvv congrats again on the 50 dog tags Habnad :woot: :punk:

I'm going to try and get back on again later. If you're already playing, I'll try and join your game.

Was just playing with Belgarath, .KICK and Munky. I finally got my 50 knife kills tonight (some guy eaglepike was unlucky number 50), and now it's time to stop until that dog tag lag issue get straightened out. :laugh:

That's what is nice about this game, there is still a ton of patches and awards to keep you playing.

EDIT : Thanks Munky! You beat me to the post... LOL

Good games guys, we were definitely on a winning streak (Y)

Man I love this game. Only going to get better with Conquest :wub:

Time to hit the sack though, 3am here!

Hopefully with Conquest mode, you'll be able to do more than 4 man squads.

Sorry about that teamkill. You ran in front of my bullets! LOL Yeah it was fun, even though it sucked not being able to hear you guys.

Did you and .KICK like my limo service? :laugh: I was laughing when I picked you guys up.

Edited by habnad

Definitely very enjoyable games tonight guys. (Y) Seriously Munky and .KICK, you guys are a two man wrecking crew. Damn skippy.

I am already looking forward to tomorrow night. No doubt.

And again, sorry AJ, I too really wish they made it more than 4 man squads. Or at the very least, let more than 4 people party up, and then split us up among different squads that varied with each round.

Yeah, I'll be the first to agree DL, those two are a two man wrecking crew. Only when .KICK isn't teamkilling Munky. LOL ;)

Thanks, but don't apologize, its no problem at all. I was just happy to be able to join in on the same team, and stay there for the rounds without getting switched to the other team. It was easy enough to communicate in game without actually speaking or hearing you 4.

I'm around tonight as well. I'm calling a spot right now... :laugh:

I'm calling a spot in the squad too! Anyone got a preference to time?

Tell me about it! His first bloody kill of the night and it was me!

(N) lol

Calling my spot, cause well, "General of the army" :p

Yeah it was weird not being able to speak to you, but I could still tell what you were thinking. We've obviously been playing too much :rofl:

AJ we need to hit up COD4 sometime too (Y)

I remember when I was in a corner, AJ it appeared like you came across to me and took a bow (well you did some crouching) and moved on! LOL Despite not being able to talk to you, you were still part of the squad!

Seems one spot left in the squad! They really need to expand it!

Yeah I hope they increase the limit with a patch, especially with the announcement last week MS will increase private chat to 8 people. I think we'll start to see games take advantage of that come this Fall / Winter. Like last night though, we had 5 people effectively in our squad. We couldn't communicate with Habnad using the mic but we still kicked ass and won just about every match.

Just need to keep an eye on people's health metres and everyone is able to use ammo crates anyway. We are pretty good at switching between classes when the situation changes too. So if the opposition begins to use a lot of vehicles we will switch two members to Recon & Demolition to take them out. There is usually always someone playing as Support too.

I'll be around later on too, probably around 10pm ish (GMT), sorry for the shortness of last night hands were killing me (Wonder if MS will ever allow devs to include play via keyboard/mouse)

Now now, no need to pull rank ;) :laugh: LOL

Ya think? :rofl: That's why I couldn't just drive by you guys, and had to pick you up. I brought you to the next base, and of course, I was the one who got killed! So back to the first base again... :)

See if we can hit that up sometime on the weekend. I tend to just keep playing, and playing, and playing with COD4. And that's usually a bad thing during the work week.

I think you saved my a** at one point, and I was saying thanks. I got that crouch thing from some random when I playing as support class, and I gave him some health. Thanks...I got stuck with a bunch of really whiney kids that wouldn't shut up.

I'd really love to play with you some time, see if the game changes when you play with some people who doesn't run around with their head up their ass for the entire round.

I can promise you that it does change things.

Heres the thing, you die alot, that is just a fact in this game, so once you accept that, you can really enjoy it, and consequently not die that much either.

But last night, I think we played about 6 rounds, and we won 5 out of the 6 because we were playing as a team, and a few of them were as Attackers, which I do not know if you figured it out yet but Attacking is much harder than Defending more often than not.

Also guys I just realized this, but has anyone ever actually sees what happened when you are in custom match and do the squad invites with more than 4 people? Reason I ask is I remember that one night we played where AJ and my Coworker were not part of the invited squad, and they kept alternating in the squad every round. So maybe if we join a server with 6 people we would be split up and vary for every round?? I literally have never tried more than 3 people in my squad for a 4 man squad as I did not know what happens, but what if we do start out with more than 4 people before we try to join a server??

Oh an yeah, anytime you guys want to go back to COD4 for a little fun, let me know, I am down. Mystic keeps sending me invites for COD4 while playing Battlefield!! LOL

    • First time clicking on a Sayan Sen article after he started making clickbait, vague headlines recently. Didn't read, just came here to say the headline doesn't look like very cheap, vague clickbait this time. Are you okay?
    • Good review, and yeah the benchmark breakdown is pretty clear but also a little messy in a good way. It’s kinda interesting to see where the RX 9070 GRE slides in between the 7800 XT and the 9070 XT , especially when it comes to AI tasks and Blender style workloads. The side by side with Nvidia’s RTX 5070 and 4070 makes it feel obvious just how competitive the mid range GPU scene has gotten lately, and that’s great for creators and gamers too since you can pick based on your priorities rather than only chasing one single thing.
    • That's it. I finally uninstalled Firefox because they often keep pushing buggy updates, only to test them later and make users suffer. No longer is it my alternative browser to Edge. What a waste of energy. Firefox is bad for the environment, just like Chrome (wasting RAM/energy).
    • Microsoft Weekly: new Surface, Windows 11 26H2, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing Windows 11 version 26H2, launching new Surface devices powered by Snapdragon X2 processors, GTA VI preorder date and cover art, fresh Windows 11 preview builds, a quirky phone-sized e-reader with a physical dial, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. Windows 11 version 26H2 is now official. Alongside Windows 11's new preview builds released this week, Microsoft confirmed version 26H2, which is coming later this year as an enablement package based on the same platform as versions 24H2 and 25H2. A newly published blog post details what IT admins should do to prepare for the upcoming launch. Next, we have new Windows 11 bugs. Users report that this month's security updates for Windows 11 cause all sorts of issues, including BitLocker bugs, OneDrive issues, black screens of death, and third-party integration in Office apps. Microsoft has not confirmed those yet, but it acknowledged other issues with its operating system. What Microsoft has confirmed is a bug where Recycle Bin delete prompts display internal file names instead of actual ones, and a year-old Windows JScript compatibility bug caused by security-focused engine changes. Moving to more positive news, Microsoft and Adobe are working on improving Windows performance in popular creative apps like Photoshop. Thanks to SPGO optimizations, users can expect up to 20% better performance. Finally, we have a few useful articles that can help you recover your PC or make it perform better. For one, we published a guide detailing what to do if your computer cannot boot after a clean Windows 11 install. There are two important steps you can try to get your system back to working in no time. Additionally, there is a more detailed guide on various CPU performance modes that could notably improve performance. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Builds 28120.2315 and 29613.1000 These two builds include a new built-in audio driver, improvements to audio Settings, and more. Dev Channel Builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690 Not much is available here. Some File Explorer improvements, Start menu enhancements, bug fixes, and more. However, build 26300.8697 is now officially marked as version 26H2. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. This week, Microsoft announced its newest Surface devices powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X2 processors. There is the 12th-gen Surface Pro and the 8th-gen Surface Laptop. Both devices feature little to no visual differences compared to their predecessors from 2024, and most changes hide inside, including a better processor, faster graphics, enhanced NPUs, and more. The Surface Laptop also received a new haptic trackpad. Mozilla is currently working on a major Firefox redesign, and earlier this week, it published a roadmap of upcoming features and highlights of the upcoming "Project Nova" rework. Files, one of the best file managers for Windows 10 and 11, has been updated in the Preview channel with a long-requested feature. Tree View is finally available in version 4.1.4, allowing you to quickly browse deeply nested folders without leaving the main view. In addition, the update improved the Windows Fonts folder, allowing you to preview each font without opening the default viewer. Rufus, another useful Windows 11 utility, also received a notable update. Version 4.15 arrived as beta with important fixes for silent Windows 11 installation. It also includes patches for ARM-based Windows PCs, OneDrive removal improvements, and more. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: Microsoft faces shareholder lawsuit over masking AI costs and slowing Azure growth Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: NVIDIA 610.62 with support for Empulse and various fixes. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Earlier this week, we reviewed the DuRoBo Krono, a portable, phone-sized e-reader with some interesting physical controls. This device has an Apple Watch-like dial for page turning, frontlight adjustment, and more. Software is simple and no-nonsense, but it also lacks some useful features and customization. Overall, the device proved interesting, but not flawless. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Forza Horizon 6 received two big updates this week. Alongside the Series 2 content update, developers pushed plenty of bug fixes and balancing tweaks. However, they also had to acknowledge the Eliminator CR-farming exploit and shut down the online mode temporarily. Luckily, only a few days later, another fix arrived, which re-enabled Eliminator and patched the exploit. Microsoft announced new games for Game Pass subscribers. Those include EA Sports FC 26, Junkster, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Abyssus, RV There Yet?, and more. Some existing games are leaving the catalog, so be sure to check out the full list here. New games are also available for GeForce NOW subscribers, and they include Embers of the Uncrowned Demo, Aphelion, Megastore Simulator, OPERATOR, Citizen Sleeper, and more. Rockstart Games had plenty of GTA-related news this week. For one, the company gave GTA V players another free update. Those still playing the game on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are no longer required to pay $40 to upgrade to the latest-gen version. More importantly, Rockstar Games revealed the GTA VI cover art and announced the preorder date. The Epic Games Store is giving away two games: Citizen Sleeper and Roboeat.
