Jesus Boz... Thats running so smooth.

Well there goes £230 of my wages invested in to a new case and cooling system for my PC so I can run BC2 better. :D

Shame I'll have only a few hours before the servers go down though. :(

Edit: Bos always keep down your ammo even if you're not using it, points are points. :P

Demize99: Tested a slightly higher damage model in an internal MP test yesterday. Worked out nicely A couple more tests and it will go live for retail

I have a question for the medics among us. Which do you prefer, machine gun or shotgun? I'm curious.

The M249 is by far my favorite gun in the entire game so far.

Shotgun.

SAIGA 20K SEMI FTW.

EDIT: Although I gotta admit the M249 SAW is pretty bad ass.

[Spookie]

As a medic I prefer the M249 my self. More details just came in about the damage increase:

- SMGs

- MGs

- AR

- Pistols

Are all getting a 25% dmg boost to each bullet fired. :D

Seems about right. The shotguns are stupidly powerful within 10 metres.

That's definitely good news. I haven't played since they fixed the hit detection, but that was one of the gripes I had from before. There were cases where I had to unload a full clip from my assault rifle at close or mid range just to bring a guy down. Granted, it may have just been a laggy server or my crap connection.

You know you are right about that. I have been running with a shotty lately on my medic and just been running into firefights in the middle of buildings and destroying people..

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

As a Medic, I almost always use the light machine guns. The M249 SAW is impressive but it's got nothing on the T88 LMG.

[trag3dy]

Good news on the damage increase, I can't tell you how many times I've tried to kill someone with my pistol at close range and hit them 5-6 times and they still manage to knife me. And then you see after that in the kill cam thing that they still have 25% health left. That's playing as a recon.

Nice. And I heard him mention that people can change the FOV to what they want, but it will have a limit.

Also Damn my brother in law who I just helped build a PC.:laugh: We have literally the same exact comp except he got a 5870 I think it was? Basically the 2nd highest ATi card, thing is a beast, but it is Direct X 11 capable, and that ambient lighting they showed real quick with DX11 looked pretty good. Nothing great, but cool enough.

[Spookie]

Rawr new PC case is at home with my Corsair H-50 CPU cooler so I can O/C it well over stock. Next month a new GFX card and my PC will be good for another 2 years onwards. \o/

All this for one game. :P

[SMELTN]

yeah I am looking at getting a Quadcore and new mobo myself just to play this game.

[Massiveterra]

Its times like this I wish I had a high end PC LOL

[Spookie]

A decent quad core really seems to make a hell of a difference on this game. I've only upgraded to a Q9400 my self in January. Didn't see the point in blowing ?350+ on an i7!

That video card is great. You get HD 4870X2 performance with DX11 added on top. I'm definitely looking forward to my next build: AMD 6-core CPU, HD 5870, 8GB DDR3.
