Just tried Rush mode on PC at the urging of some people, and of course I get stuck on a team as I always do of nothing but snipers, could not even take the first 2 crates. :crazy:

I armed both myself, but it was pointless, my team just sat back and sniped and did absolutely nothing, oh except one guy had 26 kills and 3 deaths. :angry:

And of course the other team actually played it the way it is supposed to be played, and just steamrolled over us. Nothing I could do against a whole team of snipers sitting back while the other team actually played it right. I guess I just have awful luck with the Rush matches I choose, but it is literally always the same scenario.

Luckily God Of War III just arrived, will let me take a much needed break from this game before I get utterly fed up with it.

Its ok larry, its the same way I felt until I found good servers where even randoms TEAMWORK. its amazing. Ill have them out too you in a PM. But these servers, everytime I go on them, good players and good teamwork by ALL. You have people using the VOIP or the servers Teamspeak. I like it when a server provides a VOIP option like teamspeak or ventrilo, that kind of says WORK AS A TEAM or GTFO lol.

But yeah, ive been doing good so far. Of course ill go back to conquest but damn I love rush. Owning n00btubers from a distance(recon) and then taking mcoms and sweeping them with mortars :).

Yeah, that is one thing I don't understand. I join servers that are displayed as having a low ping (in the 30's) but when I actually get into the game, everyone has pings in the 100s. I'm usually around the 130-150 mark when I play, and it's not the greatest for a shooter...

it's garbage for a shooter. I use to be so picky with CS and CSS that i wouldn't play unless my ping was below 60-70, same with COD. Now with battlefield if im around 160 im happy :(

I actually havnt noticed HUGE lag issues.. visually that have affected the game.. even though the latency/ping is way past up in the 100's. I have only had a few games that have noticeable lag moments. Either way I havnt been too affected by the number being reported back. *shrugs*

But I've said it before and I'll say it again. That server browser needs to be fixed.

Jesus dude, you try to get me angry dont you. HERE JUST FOR YOU

Is that more obvious now? I can tell you atleast know how to read the blog, but what about now? Are you happy? Or are you gonna continue to say im talking out of my ass? if so, stop replying to me, kthanks.

thanks for clarifying the issue we were talking about (Y) but at least you're backing up your arguments now... improvement!!!

woo downloading new patch, hopefully this will fix a lot of problems

Btw can anyone recommend any decent rush servers (non HC) iv found a few good ones but last night they were all plagued with Recons, took me an hour to find a server with squads who worked together

Set up a server for another forum I frequent but you guys are welcome too.

F365 Server

Name Multiplay.co.uk :: F365 Server

Max Players 20

Address 85.236.100.199:22667

Just search for "F365" in the Server Browser then click the dropdown arrow and add to favourites.

It's currently set to Conquest, all maps with max players of 20.

If any of you guys have a Multiplay account, I'm happy to set you up as Admin for the Server so you can kick/ban idiots.

Anyone got any ideas how we can write EA a suggestion for the game?

I want to make it so that **** idiots who pilot choppers onto capture points get exploded immediately instead of camping it so that you can't defuse the damn cap point. :angry:

:angry: ****ing exploiters. :angry:

I love playing Rush, it's my favourite mode besides SQDM. But when that happens, I usually switch teams.

Just playing devil's advocate here, but how is that an exploit? I don't pilot choppers, I never even ride in them because more often than not some idiot who is pilot crashes the damn thing.

lol i tried flying it once, and that's exactly what i did. haven't gone near one since...

its something more then that, a patch wouldn't explain why the server pings on the browser is about 6-7x lower then the ping reported in the game.

Since I got the game I couldn't get pings to show up.. just dead ass line in that column. So I don't know how some of you even see a ping.

I keep having to pick a server based on the name (so if it's Dalas, or West Coast or somewhere close) so I can play a good game no.gif

you try running the game under admin trick?

The trick is to use the WASD keys in combination with the arrow keys. That's what I use and it's fairly easy to fly. It still takes a bit of practice but it's easier than other BF games to fly, I think.

Battlefield Bad Company Public Service Announcement

WARNING!! NSFW

WARNING!! NSFW

Found it via Destructoid

And the hits just keep on rollin' in. For the above video to make much sense, it's recommended that you first watch this public service announcement (backup video here) from Infinity Ward and Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels. Even if you have seen it before, it's worth a rewatch anyway.

Even though random grenade spam really isn't much of an issue in Battlefield: Bad Company 2, DICE figured "oh, what the hell!" and created a PSA dedicated to the problem. Better yet, the studio was also able to nab some outside help: New York Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia.

As per tradition, I have only the following to say in response to this back-and-forth between the two companies: FACE!

you try running the game under admin trick?

That trick no longer works for me no matter what I do. It did at one point, but just stopped working. I no longer see pings either.

That's not entirely true. As an assault using the extra explosives perk I just drop my ammo bag and spam the F button. Random grenade spam. :rofl:

that's true, but CoD you get two nades and the maps are so tiny that it's pretty easy to do it.

Yeah, it's not extremely fast though, maybe 10 grenades a minute, if you even live long enough to throw that many.

Not if you get your whole clan to do it, I swear I didn't make them be cheap *******s >_>

For the STEAM version to show pings, you have to run it as admin.

Mine finally works. When I launch BC2 it says "Steam" is asking for Permission and not "Battlefield". If it does that when you launch the game, then your set. Launch steam as admin, it should run the game as admin automatically.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
