official Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Doesn't seem worth $300 though, I'll wait until newer nvidia cards come out before I decide. Hopefully it forces prices lower.

Aye, same hopefully. Provided the frame rate drops don't **** me off too much at the end of the week! :P

The 5850 is the equiv of a GTX280-285. So a fair step up tbh.

i bought a 5850 Sapphire Vapour wotsit at the weekend. I was previously running an 8800gtx. It's absolutely lovely with BFBC2. Crysis is even better.

I am however getting random crashes in Battlefield, you know, the one where the monitor switches off?! :( hasn't happened in anything else yet.

Has some info on what the Day 1 patch adds. We can now see our K/D ratio on the tab screen. But not ping, sadly. Which is the one thing I really wanted to see there. Unless that's what the middle column is...can't read it.

Okay..not a lot of info, but some. :whistle:

Question here, The M1 rifle which you can supposedly use, is that an unlock / pre-order bonus or what?

Middle column IS ping.

Ahhh I see it now. And I don't know about your question, I'm pretty sure it's one of the pre order bonuses along with the pistol.

2 x Classic Battlefield 1943 Weapons

• • M1A1 Submachine Gun – Popular with Paratrooper and Commando units in WW2 for its rate of fire and stopping power the M1A1 is still seen in the hands of paramilitaries today. Reliable but heavy, this classic weapon is still a powerful force in the hands of a Battlefield Veteran.
  • M1911 Pistol – Adopted in 1911 by the US Army the M1911 saw heavy service in WW1, WW2, Korea and Vietnam. Highly customized M1911 are still favored by Special Operations forces for its reliability and the power of its large .45 caliber round

Just did a search, it's tied to veteran status :/ It's so lame since the EA account I will be using is not the same I tied almost 5 BF games to, so they are

basically 'locked' and lost.

[trag3dy]

Tied to veteran status? How so?

I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this so far but the document listed on the first post:

Soldier Names

Doesn't actually show anything (not on IE or Firefox for me anyway)

The names are there however, you just need to highlight the hidden text (text seems to be the same colour as the background).

Works fine here ( Chrome ) and it looks great.

[trag3dy]

Works fine for me in Firefox, too.

@Sethos the M1 is locked until you have three battlefield games registered on that site apparently.

Rumor has it that Euros can play the game now it they bought it off the EA downloader! :/

So the FOV changes but the gun model still takes up half of the screen, lol.

[SMELTN]

I got my garand last night, went to Veteran.battlefield.com I think it was and entired my info, and of course I own all the battlefield games so it gave me the unlock fine.

It actually works pretty nicely.. I REALLY like it.

What really ticks me off is that veterans site simply just will not accept my 1942 serial (mine is not the standard 4-4-4-4) and says my Vietnam key has already been entered by someone else. Also it is not working for 1943 at all when I choose it. I would have all games entered, instead I am just a Level 4. May contact their support actually.

Screenshot of the settings I've got running on it. It's running Rush maps only atm, not sure if it will let me do both kinds.

Nice. I am in New Jersey so speeds should be SWEET!! To bad Steam will not let me install it yet...

[Spookie]

Oh dear saw this over on twitter:

RT @devnullll: @GordonVanDyke BF:BC2- so good it gets the competitor's CEO fired :)

[Phixion]

I'm looking forward to the teamplay game modes, although this game is nowhere near as team oriented as Project Reality for example.

I just hated the game mode in the beta, way too spammy for my liking!

Any ideas if they are going to do the veteran thing like BF2142 you got a little Battlefield 2 logo next to your name?

Yes they are.

And a few of us, myself included, are still having issues getting the Veteran thing to recognize all my games, in fact I just emailed their support after unsuccessfully waiting for a Live Chat agent twice. For whatever reason I cannot register Vietnam or 1942 even though I have them both...

Just took that about 2 hours ago for when I contacted support. I hope to get it resolved so I get the unlock and then have all BF games registered.
