official Battlefield: Bad Company 2

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

Also the clan tag I have in my name above is for a new clan idea I had this past Sunday. I am going to go put brackets in it as I thought the game did that itself, but the BR stands for Bum Rush.

Anyone is free to use if it if you want.

Basically it is more to say I play a specific play style more or less, and that is one of playing with the Objectives in mind first and foremost. K/D ratio does not mean anything, being in the thick of the battle is the most important aspect. Bum Rushing the Objective or the Crates (as in rush) is the objective first and foremost. Also rushing towards the other team as a 4 man lethal squad. Just Bum Rushing everyone. :laugh:

For anyone that does not know what it means, as I think it may be a very American term, and not only that I know of it from growing up listening to hip hop (Public Enemy to be specific), here are some definitions of Bum Rush from Urban Dictionary.com # 2 is the most appropriate one for my application of the definition I would say.

1. bum rush

To run full speed into somebody and body slam them into a brick wall, chain link fence, or similar immovable object.

"Dude, I just got bum rushed on the corner of E.9th and Euclid Avenue."

2. Bum Rush

The act of attacking someone or something (usually by a group) with the reckless abandon and fervor of one who has nothing to loose.

"The children bum rushed the home baked cookies as they were brought out."

3. bum rush

To attack someone or something by wildly charging them full force with no sort of tact or skill other than one's own momentum and possibly the backs and sides of their fists as they randomly flail them out of rage, but certainly consisting of no precisely swung blows.

"Dude, Charlie just bum rushed me!"

So again, this is more an unofficial clan than a true clan so to speak. It is more about playing the game a specific way, as outlined above.

It is open to anyone that wants to use it, and I am very well aware it may just be me. I am probably going to enter it in the game as [br]

No problem. And is it just me or did all our sigs die? It only says "Posted Image" to me.

Edit: And I still can't add games to my favorites list. :pinch:

Yep I just noticed the sigs as well. Definitely down for the count right now. :(

[Lamp0]

I am Veteran Rank 2 and didn't notice having that slug thing... maybe I just didn't see it.

[Sikh]

DL: i be joining as doesn't matter what class I am I have to move in after spotting / clearing "overhead".

Also about EA support what department did you contact? I went to Support > BATTLEFIELD 1942 > registeration snd no answer yet.

Keeps saying my newly bought complete collection with Vietnam is claimed already

[Slane]

Shotty is the easy way to level up recon. It's so nice. Maybe when I unlock the SVU or the VSS I'll actually bother to snipe, but for now shotty's is so nice.

Today alone I put 79 kills on my 870, one more game will net me a gold star on it. And one more should unlock the recon achievement.

[Sikh]

I don't know about you slane but I roll people with the M24/1911 combo. It'll take one shot for me head or not unless there moving or have armor on. But by then in already moving with then and when I reload boom dead.

Gonna be home soon can't wait to

play.

[Green_Eye]

Larry you jumping on? MassiveTerra?

Me and doug are on right now (Y)

[Slane]

Finally finished recon for it's achievement. Which means only thing left is rank 22, which I should have within the week if I continue to play like I am. And the 20 demolish 2.0 kills. Which after trying to snag just one for an hour and didn't, don't think it's something I'll get very soon without boosting.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

So the game still crashes to my desktop and it still crashes my display driver (after prolonged gaming). The connection issues, though not as prevalent, are still there. But I'm still hopeful. It's fun - even more now that four of my friends bought the PC version. Oh, and my signature finally updated. It's still outdated though.

Anyway, check out this front page news article: Battlefield Bad Company 2 GPU Performance In-depth

The game appears to be GPU-heavy.

[Spookie]

The game appears to be GPU-heavy.

The intermittent drops in frame rate kill me. I'll be running along at 60 and it'll stutter before going back to 60. Drives me nuts! :(

Took a break last night, the connection drops drove me up the wall after a dire day at work. Rank 24 tonight me thinks. :p

[Sethos]

Larry, Anaron etc. could you throw me a few server names of servers you have visited or perhaps some favorites?

I'd love to see how the ping fairs across the ocean.

[SMELTN]

Stupid server maint. on Tuesdays !!!

[jelli]

So just finished playing a few rounds and scored this...

Have to say I was pretty happy with it and also managed to fly through the middle of one rank to another. Granted not my best combat score ever by far but award score pwns all :rofl:

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

Right from my recent History Sethos...

I just join what I can when I can, do not even have a favorites yet. Everytime I have tried a listed server here it was full.

Sorry I fell asleep early last night. Tonight might be difficult too because I'm having people over for Lost

Same here I fell asleep real early last night. I think those two 2 am nights are still working on my old man ass.

And see what Kotaku has right now?

Bad Company 2 Might Go Mac As Well

With Mac computers the flavour of the week, Battlefield developers DICE are not ones to be left off the bandwagon, saying that they're "currently investigating" bringing Battlefield Bad Company 2 to Apple's platform.

DICE's Karl Magnus Troedsson said as much yesterday, Tweeting "We're currently investigating the possibility of making BFBC2 available on Mac". Pretty clear, that.

It's the first time the developers have looked at the Mac since 2007, when Battlefield 2142 was released on the platform.

[LingeringSoul]

And see what Kotaku has right now?

Bad Company 2 Might Go Mac As Well

That would destroy my productivity. I'm nice and safe right now, with my work on my Mac and my gaming PC in a completely different room. If they did this, I just might find myself playing into the wee hours of the night.

That said, I wonder how well it would run on an average MacBook Pro or iMac. Games like TF2 and Portal are not a big deal, because they're not graphical powerhouses to begin with, and so the NVidia 9600 in my MacBook Pro can make pretty short work of both. Like somebody stated previously in this thread, BC2 is definitely demanding GPU wise.

Cheers man, in case it all works out well and is somewhat playable - Could I ever lure you and possibly other "over there" people on to a Hardcore ( US ) server :shiftyninja: ?

[rajputwarrior]

battlefield is coming to mac now? eff me, definitely time to upgrade my macbook now... effin video games make me poor :(

[rajputwarrior]

thanks for that link anaron, good to see the card i want (5850) rocks this game @ the max res of my monitor (1680x1050)

[Massiveterra]

So what's the deal with the upcoming DLC in the in-game store? Are they going to be free? Any new weapons or just skins?

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

So what's the deal with the upcoming DLC in the in-game store? Are they going to be free? Any new weapons or just skins?

As far as I'm aware, this is what the DLC will be in late-March:

• A pseudo map pack: conquest mode for Africa Harbour and Laguna Alta, rush mode for Laguna Presa and Nelson Bay (console-only)
  
• A SPECACT skin pack for each class: offers a unique player skin plus weapon camo (which only applies to the final weapon unlock for each class, e.g. M16A2, M95, etc).
  

The pseudo map pack was day-one DLC for the PC version. As for the skin pack, I don't even know if that's coming to the PC version. And I don't know how one would unlock it. It could be free, or it could be part of a promotion similar to the Dr Pepper DLC codes for Mass Effect 2.

EDIT: Apparently the skin pack adds new achievements and awards.

Cheers man, in case it all works out well and is somewhat playable - Could I ever lure you and possibly other "over there" people on to a Hardcore ( US ) server :shiftyninja: ?

Sure I would give Hardcore mode a whirl. Never played it but I am not against it by any means.

[ViperAFK]

Love this game so far :)

[mattmatik]

I feel embarrassed having stats in my sig after seeing all of yours. Jesus.

After the Steam news, I started wondering about BC2 for Mac. Damn that would be awesome.

[Sethos]

Sure I would give Hardcore mode a whirl. Never played it but I am not against it by any means.

Nice, we should definitely get some proper squads going once the weekend is upon us (Y)

Also, I'm slowly starting to lose interest in playing any other class than Recon - Is it because it's fun? No, because every other class, as a lone-wolf in Hardcore is useless.

Hand on heart, just had a round where I spawned and less than 3 seconds later was insta-sniped 6 TIMES!!! And every time you have a nice CQB battle you get sniped,

dare to run anywhere? Sniped. Not to mention the view in-game has no correlation to your actual position as I was hiding behind a rock with my "view" ( Head ) nice and in cover

and BAM sniper round to the head from the other side of the rock ...

By the way; why the hell are so many servers still running R4? It's crap!
