official Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Oh god, not Volbeat - Another blemish on Danish history :p

But Excellent video, Fiver. A suggestion though - When you convert the movie, do it by using a profile that holds the exact resolution of the footage you have, then you will avoid the black borders and have the video take up the entire player, like on YouTube.

I was wondering why I was getting that border. So you say I should not use Windows movie maker? Or is there a setting I need to change in it? I only use it because it is pretty easy to quickly stitch movie clips together & export.

Windows Movie Maker is 'okay' as it's easy to use but the customization options are next to none.

It's also a guaranteed way to spoil footage with black borders because the output options are so abysmal.

I can highly recommend Sony Vegas, it's very easy to use but really a powerful tool and you will have a plethora of options when it comes to rendering the footage.

Sorry about the double-post I just had to share the bi-product of too much coffee and waking up early on a Sunday;

If I buy the limited edition, I'll still be able to play against the folks with the standard edition, right?

Just got done playing my first round with the demo (yea I know late to the party :p). I finished second on our team with 2102 points and was pleasantly surprised considering it was my first game. Can the tank driver not fire the turret and a machine gun?

If no one is in the turret than you can pop into it sure, and as far as the side mounted machine gun on the tank that is an "upgrade" you eventually get (or order the limited edition, I believe it comes with it)

Oh I didn't know if you had to jump seats or if you could fire the turret and machine gun from the driver's position like in BF1943.

I think it's an extra weapon for the driver.

So much more fun to blow people to kingdom come with the main cannon :p

Gave this ago lastnight, was quite fun.

Although I don't know if its just me but I couldn't go prone, and quite often my screen would shake and the controller rumble even when nothing was going on near me. btw it ws the PS3 demo version.

I played the demo on my brother's PS3 and it was surprisingly fun. Lack of prone was a design decision by the developers. The screen shake/controller rumble should only happen if something is happening to you or near you, like a grenade going off or a tank shell landing near you.

Yeah I can understand that, if a shell or 'nade goes of near me, but I was sniping from a hill and was quite a bit away from where shells where landing. Well I never got any damage from them. It was fun anyway :p

Downloading the PC beta now. Who's around for some games later?

[FlibbyFlobby]

I finally managed to snipe a helicopter pilot last night. It's so satisfying. :p

What you guys talking about? I played the hell out of 1943 and maybe I just thought I was jumping seats and actually was not?? I just recall having to jump seats in BF2, but they could have changed it.

Honestly 95% of the time I prefer having an Engineer with me in the turret, that is the key to staying alive, a good Engineer with you.

I tried to make as realistic a portrayal of the Medic as possible, I nailed it pretty well :rofl:

Remember in BF1943 from the driver's position you could fire that little machine gun as well as firing the turret? There was also a second gunner's position where you could use the top machine gun.

You know what. I remember you could do that.. It was the alt fire key like pressing LMB would fire main turret, RMB would fire the machine gun on top

That is what I've been asking about all along. So what I'm hearing is that you can't do that in BF:BC2? You can only fire the turret if you are in the driver's seat and you can only fire the machine gun if you are in the gunner's seat?

Yeah its one or the other

Everything is dumbed down and retard compatible compared to BF1942/BF2

I think I am getting BC2, but only to keep me busy until BF3 arrives, whenever that will happen :s

We're talking about one of the limited edition unlocks for BC2. I haven't played BF 1943 so I don't know much about it. Anyway, here's what we were referring to:

Supreme Vehicle Firepower – Additional weapon packages are mounted for the driver of all armored vehicles, greatly expanding the range of targets the vehicle can successfully engage and destroy.

Since it says "for" the driver, I assume it's an alternate weapon for the tank driver (main gun + additional weapon).

Here's a screengrab of this YouTube video:

Notice the gun (with smoke) near the main tank gun. Also, notice the machine gun mounted on top (for a 2nd passenger).

Ahh okay, that clears things up, because yeah I knew about that already. I told mystic earlier in the thread...

and as far as the side mounted machine gun on the tank that is an "upgrade" you eventually get (or order the limited edition, I believe it comes with it)

I thought there was some way to get into the turret without popping out of the drivers seat, which made absolutely no sense at all to me which is why I asked what were you guys talking about. :laugh:
