Battlefield Bad Company


Recommended Posts

I can only play as support, for some reason. I have trouble getting kills with anything else but when I am support, I can rake up some kills and heal some teammates.

So weird, I answered this yesterday, but I guess the server issues I was still having messed it up.

Anyway I said you can ask all of these guys I tend to play with here, I am 75% of the time support.

The other 20% I am Demo, 4% Assault, and 1% Sniper. I basically will switch when there is a need for a different class, but support is without a doubt "my class."

And actually i think I found a new favorite gun last night. I was all about the G36 because of the dotted scope, but last night I used the M60 and had great results as it's damage is unmatched. Just the sight on it is a bit weird, and have to adapt to it, but I think I did, an will be using it for awhile now.

lol @ sunset. Can't believe I said that.

Picture of said sunset sunrise :p

Sunrise.jpg.

Anyways I'm gonna go crash out to some Simpsons.

Good games guys!

You my friend, are indeed a trooper. It was almost 1AM here and I was exhausted. Like I said though, back in the days when I was still a young lad such as yourself, me and the sunrise were very good friends, especially thanks to Mario 64. :p

Haha I hope I still have a good few years in me yet to pull it off :p

The last marathon I did with a game was in March playing Rainbow Six Vegas 2. Peter and I played it in one sitting over Live in co-op.

That was only 8 hours long or something.

Just got home with plenty of fizzy drinks and some lasagne, the house is empty until tomorrow.

So I'm definitely gunning for Rank 25 tonight - Anyone else playing, Hab, Drunk?

I'd love to but...unless you guys feel like pulling another all-nighter :laugh:, i'll be leaving to go to a 40th birthday party in about 30 minutes. I have no idea when I'll be home tonight.

Trust me, I'd rather be home. If I happen to get home early enough, I'll look for you guys.

If not, I'll definitely try and catch up with you on Sunday. After I do my weekly chores around the house.

@Munky...Is that picture your backyard/frontyard/sideyard?

I'll probably be on again late tonight because of my sleeping pattern, so if you guys are around I'll play (Y)

@ AJ, yeah that's the view to the East from my bedroom, I'm pretty much right next door to a forest here, hence all the trees :p

I can't play until Monday :( Working all weekend.

Thanks for the replies about playing Support. I guess I need to unlock the auto-injector for assault as well but I've been working on unlocks for Support. Still need the remote detonator - that will be sick!

Hopefully I'll catch you guys online sometimes. It appears my schedule is way off from everyone elses! As is always the case working nights.

Yeah same here

I still can't think of anything I really want to play though..

Forgot to post this earlier, AJ and I were playing Conquest last night and owning in the tank. Then some guy came along trying to be smart and take the bridge out. The result..

And playing tonight I killed someone as he ran away from arming the crate and he ended up like this..

Was quite funny watching him swing around :laugh:

The only game I have left in my pile of games I'm remotely interested in is Halo 3.

What really annoys me is, Bad Company needs only a few tweaks and fixes to be a perfect games, these fixes are a pretty significant, but still close to perfection. Now I am finally alone in the house and I don't have any games to play - Bleh :/

BFBC is still getting a bit long in the tooth now for me, even if they did fix all the problems with it. It wouldn't be so bad if there was something to swap between so I'm not always playing it.

There's not much to look forward to in the Multiplayer scene either, only Gears 2 and Call of Duty 5 :/

Call of Duty "5" is just going to be a blatant CoD 4 Rip-off with some new levels, altered and added perks and new weapons. Still going to be the exact same game under the hood.

Gears of War has never been my cup of tea, so I'm all out of luck :/

But I can't tempt you at all for a few Halo 3 matches some time, either regular matches or the small team games ( 2 v 2 v 2 etc. ) Just to mix things up a bit. You are pretty much the only person in here

who like ( Liked? ) Halo 3 :laugh:

Game doing fine for me. It's either this or COD4. Either one I wouldn't mind, but I'm prefering BC over COD4 atm.

But for me, the next game I'll be getting and hopefully playing on Live is Too Human, game does look sick, and it's exactly the kinda of game I adore.

I'd play it, just don't expect me to play it for any long peroid. I still play it whenever my friends are to stubborn to play anything but it. Just rather play COD4 or BC.

Side note, 1337 post! :p

Aw your subscriber badge is covering up the gold stars Slane

Congrats though (Y)

Yeah I will play Halo 3 Michael, I will totally need to adjust back into it though. I've not played competively online for months on Halo 3.

I'm not buying CoD5 either, it's just one of the very few Mutliplayer games coming out for the rest of this year. I just put a preorder down on Gears 2. I'm not a big fan of the multiplayer in GoW1 but I hope the changes in 2 will make it better. I'm more interested in continuing the story and co-op though.

Also preordered LittleBigPlanet, but that's not exactly an FPS/TPS :p

Edit: I completely forgot about Brothers in Arms. That should be good online right? It's out late September.

Edit2: Far cry 2 as well, wtf is wrong with me, I've forgotten about every game coming out lol.

You up for a few warm-up matches tonight or should we just wait?

But I will definitely look into Gears of War 2, but I need to see a huge heap of reviews from certain reviewers - There's too much "Oh my god, 9/10 game!" in reviews today. Only way I'm getting LBP is winning it or getting it as a gift :rofl:

EDIT: Oh yeah, Brothers in Arms :woot: I'm SO looking forward to that one! Isn't this the first BiA with MP?

    • 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.
