Battlefield Bad Company

Woo Hoo!!! :D Finally got to Rank 25. Now what??? LOL :laugh:

Guess I'll keep playing a try to bring my skill level up, or down depending on how you look at it. Still have a ton of in-game awards to get too.

And I guess one of these days I'll finish single player.

Congrats.

And I will give you a goal to chase. Try to catch up with Munky's 64184 points!!!

I was just comparing stats today with everyone, and was like WOAH when I saw that. DAMN!

Congrats AJ (Y) 6 more to go for me :(

Forgot all about singleplayer, I'll be around again tmw evening just had to cut short tonight :(

Sorry to hear you had to cut it short.

And what do you mean 6 more to go for you? I thought the last ranking up was at 25,000, am I wrong???

I just checked, and you are over 23,000. Nice. (Y)

So just curious, am I wrong about the 25,000 score being the last rank??

And I will be on in about 40 minutes give or take.

Pretty sure its a lot more than 25k for rank 25. I am at around 24k I think and am at rank 19, same as John.

Habnad, congrats on reaching rank 25 (Y)

Thanks all!

Yeah Larry, I dont see that happening. Munky is just a monster at this game, plain and simple. He wouldnt have to play for a few weeks in order for me to catch up.

It's 37000 points for rank 25.

I dunno if this was posted yet, but here you go fellas...Conquest mode

http://xbox360.gamespy.com/xbox-360/dice-p...2/895221p1.html

will be coming down the downloadable pipeline next month.
In Conquest mode, two teams vie for control of five control points carefully placed around the map. In order to capture a control point (identified by a large flag pole), you just have to stand next to it... unless there is someone from the opposing team also standing nearby, in which case you must fight to the death. That happens a lot in Battlefield: Bad Company, so you should be used to that by now. Once the flag is captured, you can move on to capture another, or stake a claim to the current flag and attempt to defend it. The more flags your team holds, the faster your opposition will bleed out respawn tickets; capturing all five flags will result in an extreme drain on your enemies' tickets and cause them to lose the lot in a matter of seconds.
The content update also features four retooled maps from the retail game that have been relit for different times of day and alternate weather conditions. These maps have also had their combat zones altered so, in most cases, you'll have a larger area to fight in and can explore the surrounding environment a little more. The impact of expanding the combat zones can't be ignored, as this offers further tactical options (the most obvious being superior flanking opportunities) that add to the already huge smorgasbord of strategic planning that the game offered pre-patch.

lol, it's pretty bad I can tell which map you guys are playing from those screenshots and tell exactly where you are in them :rofl: I need to stop playing this game lol.

lawl @ The Munky Route

Good pictures guys :p I don't think I've played with you before Dave? Welcome to Neowin though! :)

I wonder when we'll see Conquest, "next month" is technically tomorrow the 1st of August..I hope it doesn't mean the 31st though :p

IGN have a done a round up/review of the new conquest mode, damn it looks like it's going to be fun ...

Hands On review

If any of the regulars don't have an Insider account to get the Hi-res stuff, give me a shout and I'll see what I can do.

thanks munky! i heard about you during our games last night. Hope to play with you soon, my gamertag is Fusion Reaction.

Some capture points are intentionally designed to keep you out in the open. One, on End of the Line, even goes so far as to place one of the five flags on a faraway island. You'll need to hop on a boat and avoid sniper fire as you make your way through tall trees to find the flag. Also on the island is an artillery installation, so you could theoretically bombard any assailants with shells. That is, until the snipers or demo guys get you in their sights.

Thanks for the links. (Y) I'm getting psyched for this. Hopefully it'll be released real soon.

I wonder what bug fixes are going to be included.

^ I liked the sound of that part too Larry.

Also one small thing I noticed from the new gameplay videos, they've included a small Skull graphic in the player list to let you see who is still alive and who is dead on your team.

The ability to go where you want when you want now is going to be a great addition. Definitely one thing I'm looking forward to a lot. Expect to see more "Munky Routes" joining up the flags when this is released :p

Also, still 4 people per squad by the looks of it.

End of the Line is a huge map to begin with. I can't imagine how much bigger its going to get with this download. :blink:

I like how this game has brought on it's own vocabulary and sayings. "Unscrewing tanks" "Munky routes" :rofl:

lol I failed miserably trying to unscrew a tank the other night. He just watched me run at him with a drill and reversed, then blasted me to pieces :(

Either that or they jump out everytime and I end up just repairing the damn thing :pinch: lol

Yeah, End of the Line is a pretty awesome map. I really like them opening up the water part more (Y) There used to be this really cool map in Modern Combat with a city completely flooded with water and all the transport was basically boats or those amphibian tanks.

I hope they introduce a snow level and water level as DLC somewhere down the line :yes:

AJ, today i'll stand by and let you get some crates. promise i won't team kill you.

One crate, then we'll be even. ;)

I'm probably not going to be on tonight though.

Has anyone noticed if you get points or not for unscrewing tanks? I managed to blow up one the other night using the drill, but the "Destroy Enemy Vehicle +10" didnt show up for me.

Larry's "Big Gun" :laugh:

And as you can see in this picture, I was shooting at an Enemy Copter that was trying to kill us, and all I hear in my mic is "Larry, stand still, this is a hilarious picture." :rofl:

And I am incredibly psyched for Conquest mode, it is what Battlefield really is to me.

I have definitely gotten used to Gold Rush, but playing the game since the release of 1942, I am and always will be a Conquest Mode Man. I really cannot wait for it.

Especially since I cannot tell you how many times I have killed myself going out of bounds, still not used to having to "open up" the rest of the map, so that alone is a welcome addition.

Oh, just as munky pointed out, I also noticed it appears it is still 4 man squads, so much for wishing for that.

And we do have quite a vocabulary going here. LOL

Yep, you do. I got the Destroy Enemy Vehicle points plus the 20 points for killing two guys in it.

    • 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.
    • 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.
