Ya today is extremely bad lag. Out of ten games I joined only 1 wasn't laggy and that was until several people joined in. So don't expect much today, I suspect there is an issue, but it's unbearable for me. Did some campaign only have Ghost Town to beat on hard and that's all single player achievements.

Did manage to get 5 kills today in one game, with the SVU giving me the SVU trophy and Silver/Gold Recon Patch. Now to keep playing recon until 80 handgun kills and 100 headshots (at 30 something).

I'll be on COD4 and try BC later, but the lag is making it unbearable.

Well, I will be checking out whats up with the lag for myself in about 20 minutes, me and habnad are hopping on, so if anyone is down to join, as usual lets do this.

I'd love to join - Gotta see how the US servers are running, perhaps even better than the EU servers.

I agree Slane. BC is totally unplayable and i lost my temper so bad i nearly smashed my pad on the floor.

Need to walk away.......

Well, they better do something, and fast.

Second game, even worse.

Third game, even worse.

Some kid was saying it was just Conquest Mode though, so we tried Gold Rush.

And Gold Rush is the same. HORRIBLE.

They really have an absolute mess on their hands here. WOW

My final question is, why were there even people playing the game? ROFL makes no sense to me.

EDIT: Tried to access the BC Forums with no luck - Here's the google description though,

"Forum: Bad Company... Now Conquest... Replies: 30 Last by: BLaCKBeaRD_RaW (PS3) ... Forum: Bad Company... LAGLAGLAGLAGLAG... Replies: 20 ..."

Last thread sums it up :laugh:

Done with COD4, that game has become quite the campfest. Only games that were fun where people less than level 10 (non-prestige) who actually ran around shooting. Not the people who just grab sniper with C4 and hide in a building/bush/random area the entire time. One thing I like about Bad Company is there isn't much camping, and even those snipers who camp, never highly affect you, and if they do they are usually taken care of by a friendly sniper, or random vechile.

Probally hop back on BC here in a bit and finish Ghost Town, then I might boot up Mass Effect and play that for a bit I dunno. Lag needs to be fixed!

Lol I'm surprised a fox or something didn't run off with it, but I knew you would always come back to BF.

It has you under it's spell :alien:

The local fox population knows they shouldn't mess with me :laugh:

But the disc was sitting there on the grass with its big puppy eyes :( I couldn't just leave it.

As I told you - The game is very addictive but just as annoying / frustrating. It's kinda like a wife.

You take it to bed everynight and show it whose boss? :p

I'll be on later if the lag is sorted out, otherwise I may play some SP game or the PS3.

Hm, screen shot capture cannot handle the Toast from Xbox when someone came online.

Thanks to Ag3nt Slane for coming online at that time.

Lag was a problem last night, but only happened in 1 game, which was my final game, as it was too laggy and late.

Hopefully it was just a server mess up, as I took 5 screen captures, but only 2 made it to the site.

@ AJ, sorry I missed your PM man, I never got it until this morning. I think the sever which hands out PM notifications is offline and I wasn't on Neowin to see it in my inbox.

Not a problem. Larry and I were having the same problem earlier in the day before we tried playing BF.

It did give me time to catch up in the SP mode though. As everyone else has said, the helicopter is so much easier to use in SP compared to MP. Almost makes me want to try it in MP mode again just to see if can fly it.

well, if you do get good on helicopter, I need a good pilot for end of the line conquest mode

I realized there's too much abstract thinking going on in braid.

BUT, the interview with the developer on gamevideos.com really makes me want to get into it.

after the chat we had, i played for 10 more minutes, then proceeded to throw the controller across the room and go to bed. i was sooooo mad, haha.

Eventually finished SP last night, I seriously needed a break away from MP as it was getting on my nerves, especially conquest mode. I loved SP so much Im going through it again on teh hardest difficulty and seeing if I can get all the gold/weapons this time through (I was missing about 3 weapons and about 7 gold first time through). I know there is now an option to replay each of the levels (unless that was there before and I missed it) and find all the missing items, but I would rather play through again anyway and get the hard level achievements :)
