Battlefield Bad Company


Recommended Posts

Hard is easy. Just rush them kill as many as you can, die, then you respawn and you have less enemies. Or my favorite thing was to run on the border to get to the next objective/smoke without getting into any (or near zero) firefights. x360a has guides for all crates and collectables if you need help. I used it for my first playthrough.

Yes, at first I was doing the running to the next objective thing, but realised I was missing out on a lot of the weapons etc, so I backtracked and started searching each level. It's worth doing IMO, not just for the achievements, but the satisfaction of playing the game in its entirety.

I may use gayfags or something to locate all of the gold next time through though, as they are quite hard to find, and they are not marked on the map with the white crosses.

I just saw that pic of your sunrise DM, you live in a beautiful spot (Y)

Oh how I would love to experience a trip there

Wish I saw that when I looked out my window :(

...gives me an idea for a thread :p

Well, the latest news from the EA Server front: Either all ranks have been reset or the rank server is down :laugh:

I played this morning, tried to hit Rank 25. I had about 900 points left when the servers went down. So I decided to complete the game and get back online, now everyone was at rank 1 and every piece of equipment was locked again - But you could still see stats in the menus. I really hope it's just the rank servers acting up.

@Sethos, now I see your whole back garden from the other thread, I can see how far you through the battlefield disc, lucky to not just toss it out and land on the concrete ;)

Well, the stitched image kinda morphed the image - It's not that far from my window to the grass as it appears in the picture

And have you ever thrown a Frisbee?, CD's can be thrown quite far :laugh:

I still think you walked outside and gently placed it on the ground, shiny side up. ;)

Finally hit Rank 25 - Took a while.

My 'starting' skill level is 06 which is pretty average? But there servers ran so perfect today, they never ran this well. If they can keep this up, I might continue playing (Y)

EDIT: Have no idea how that "thank" ended up in my previous post :laugh:

Congrats on Rank 25 man!!! (Y)

wow, good for you...6...mine was in the forties when i hit 25. now dont play for a day, and watch it drop, well go higher. I think it somehow compares you to whomever else is on, and ranks you that way. You mentioned something about the servers being whacked out before. I guess thats all been resolved?

The stats better not have been reset!

I was 2 thousand away from 100K!

Thank you :)

Yeah I'm on tonight. I took a break from it last night, probably gonna play some SP today and then hopefully I'll be refreshed for BF again.

Yeah ya lazy bum...finish up SP already. j/k Get that motivation to finish it! :laugh:

I know I have to do the same thing too. So i guess im lazy as well. I'll be on later today/tonight. One of my buddies finally picked up the game, and wants to play some MP.

Nice Munky. (Y) Congrats on 100K!

Man those other teams just out and out were pains in the a**.

I looked at your standings on the leaderboards before I came here to post, and you're actually at 8548 and 100518! Dont sell yourself short man, you must have gotten points just for quitting out. lol

    • 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.
