official Battlefield: Bad Company 2

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Finally got through to start the download process. Going at about 1.1 MB/sec which is quite a surprise to me. I thought I'd get slow download speeds.

[Sethos]

Jeez, took me like 10 tries to find a server, they are getting seriously hammered.

Snapped a few Screenshots from that one game :rofl:

So I found it if I have my AA to 2x or if I have it to 16x, it means the difference of around 4FPS!!

AF is now on 16, it does not matter at all with that, it can be 1x or 16x and no performance hit...

I think this was with like 8x AA

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

15%... this wait is killing me! I'm trying to play Batman: Arkham Asylum but I find myself constantly minimizing and checking the download speed/percentage. :s

By the way, nice screenshots guys. (Y)

Hmmm I'm getting major FPS lag on low settings :( not only that but my ping keeps jumping to around 500 odd o_O

[rajputwarrior]

everytime i try to finish off my SP campaign the game crashes since i've downloaded the patch... FML. updating my video drivers, hopefully that fixes it.

Anyone know how to increase the field of view?

I'm currently sporting a 16:10 monitor so I want to make full use of it. :unsure:

Run the game as Admin. Fixes pings not showing in server browser.

Thats like the hardest way to do that ever.

To change FOV just go to My Documents/BFBC2/ and in settings.ini change FOV to whatever number you want.

thank you for that!

but when i find a server with a low ping, there is no one in there that is below 150 :(

What about in the steam version? I have had this problem throughout the beta - hoping I wont have it in retail :/

[rajputwarrior]

im done. can't play single player, crashes to desktop. No matter what server i join my ping is 200+ even though when i initially join the server the ping is below 50. I'll try again tonight.

now i'm getting "failed to login to EA Online Server" Error. Eff this...

[El Marto]

I can't add 2142 to my Veteran status ... keeps saying my user ID is wrong, when it's not. I just logged into my EA account to confirm. BLAH. Oh well, so far my Veteran Rank is at 3. Dunno what that will give me.

EDIT: OK, to get it working you actually have to install 2142, log in, join a match, exit, then try. I guess because I haven't played it in about 2 years haha.

I couldn't add my BF2142 account either.

SP was lackluster..

nowhere near as engaging as MW2

the main drawbacks were BIG BIG BUGS in my eyes.

like every moment where there is a cutscene the enter and exit is odd. its never smooth. The action stops.. and then continues at parts where u have to do something which is scripted.

like the heatshot slomo in MW2 just for an example.. where u have to do a thing it was so fast to understand what to do and how.

here it takes a 2 sec break to understand and then go on.. which breaks the action BAD..

but loved the graphics and all the SMOKE and DUST... still on the graphics front it wasnt much of improvement from other Shooters out there..

it was between MW2 and Crysis..

other then that i remember reading somewhere the SP was 10hours long.. but it ended for me in 6hrs i think..

I don't think the majority of the people are buying it for the Single Player :p.

[Zain Adeel]

i was thinking the same thing :p

majority here didnt even talk about SP at all :p

everyones for MP..

damn im too busy for exams :(

btw MP rocks otherwise..

the slow team based taking cover and all and then going rocks.. because reloading time is alot more then MW2 and nades take a while to explode..

QFT. For the first time, I'm not buying a game to experience it all. I'll play it, but I'm not really fussed about the SP.

[Zain Adeel]

there are some funny things about MW2 in the SP campaign :p play it for those..

Come join and play.

This is why I don't understand the reviews of this game. Usually if an outstanding single player campaign is the main focus for the game, the reviewer is easy to forgive a subpar multiplayer.

Since the outsanding multiplayer is the main focus of this game I don't understand why it's not easy to forgive a mediocre single player.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

This has to be the best Battlefield game, ever. MP is insanely fun. I can't even begin to describe how awesome it is. :omg:
