official Battlefield: Bad Company 2

[John Freeman]

Oh my goooooooood. Servers are laggy like **** all over the board it seems. And i mean game servers. PC. Ugh.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

The servers are really laggy and that made sniping a nightmare. The graphics are really good and it performs well @ 1680x1050 with high settings (HBAO disabled for better performance). Aside from the lag issues, the game itself is good. It reminds me of Battlefield 2 but it's quite different. Everything is bigger and destructible buildings add a whole new level of gameplay. Simply hiding behind something doesn't protect you from bullets and rockets.

Couple of things:

1. OH MY GOD THE ****ING GRAPHICS ARE LUSH ON HIGH!

2. It runs well considering it's an old build 40 FPS in combat on my Q9400, 4GB Ram, XFX 275GTX XXX

3. Guns feel, well, like guns. Nice kick on them. Sniping is difficult as it should be.

4. Just had a good game with Demize from DICE them selfs! It's super ace fun when you work together. :D

5. OH MY! DID I MENTION THE GRAPHICS?!

[Waylander]

anyone know who's email i have to spam to get dice to add trackir support? i just dont get why they would support 3d (apart from all the fuss about it recently) when noone actually uses it but not support trackir which is perfect for a bf style game

You're suprised that a game in Beta stage is laggy? Oh dear...

It'll be sorted soon, thats the entire point behind a multiplayer Beta.

I thought the bullet reg was amazing, especially as the server I was on was lagging so much.

And Gamespy hasn't sent me a beta key yet....

Epic post inc:

Everything on max on my PC

Before/After of the first map.

Dev also said: Aware of lag, working on a fix. Servers might be getting DDoS'ed

[r1ddl3r]

This game is so much WIN!

Even for a f****ing noob like me :p

[Windows7even]

first impression was it really sucked...played for a little while..it got better..played for a little while longer and it got even better..think im gonna be happy :)

frostbit engine is quite demanding though

i have a wolfdale e8400 over-clocked to 4.00ghz, moderately over-clocked 4870 ati, 4gb of ram and the thing ran really sluggish on 1920x1200 no matter what detail level

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Awesome screenshots, Spookie. And it's so cool that you played with someone from DICE. The graphics are indeed amazing. It runs decently well on my PC with an HD 4870 and E6750 @ 3.2 GHz. The only thing I'm not liking right now is the lag, especially when I use the Recon class most of the time. It makes sniping damn-near impossible.

Oh, and you guys should post your EA account names so we could add each other. Mine's Anaron1701.

[SkyDX]

Anyone added some friends successfully? It just wont work...

[Sethos]

Well, it's pretty much unplayable at the moment until the servers are sorted - Not to mention I'm having tons of flickering textures, I can max out a lot of settings but the flickering gets to you :(

My EA Account name is Sethos88 and my soldier is called Sethos.

[Pupik]

Anyone else can't even get into the game now? Getting a nice CTD after "updating your stats" without any errors.

[SkyDX]

Same here.... -.-

[Digitalx]

I got dumped from a server then tried to join another had some autokick or something now everytime i load the server browser the game crashes... this isn't good :(

[Cupcakes]

The game is just a demo/beta and today is the first day it's been out. Everyone is rushing to go play it, so it not being "good" is hardly any cause for concern.

Just wait until things smooth down and you'll be able to play the demo.

I got the same problem :(

Anyone have any other good sites giving away keys? Right now I'm just waiting patiently on Twitter for another giveaway.

I managed to find a couple of playable servers, lag-wise. I'll try adding you though. I didn't even check to see if the friends thing worked.

My girlfriend picked one up from Fileplay.com about two hours ago. Could give that a go.

I signed up for an account there, requested and key and it worked.

Thanks a lot! :)

[churchonsundays]

Yep. It just crashes to the desktop for me. I think the servers are down.

[Sethos]

Has anyone seen anything related to texture flickering issues? I'd love to get that sorted
