Well glad to say the new patch fixed my crashes to desktop. Had a massive session last night and I really started to enjoy it. Only problem was the server was being flaky and restarting all the time.

I hate the fact that newbies like me are being owned by guys who are at much higher levels than me. I mean the top most used gun last night on the server must have been that M60. If I was truly a noob to this type of gaming I would be put off and wouldn?t play again.

I have always been against persistent unlocks, and would much prefer a game that rewards you for skill. Not the amount of hours/points you can rack up to unlock the good stuff.

That being said, I intend on logging in tonight and carrying on having fun. At the moment I am still learning the game/ropes. But with all my old fragmates from ET:QW, it has just become like the old times :rofl:

The grenade launcher is the ultimate avenger in this situation. Learn to aim and pick off targets quickly with it. When I finally got logged in after that launch fiasco I ran in to a number of 10+ rank people already.

Leveling up in BFBC2 is much for a challenge that other FPS's I've played. MW2 is so candied up and such 1-man army type game, there is no 1-man army in BFBC2.

I agree. I've found some old friends in game and we've had tons of fun.

Funny.. I was thinking of getting that exact same processor.

everything i have read on it says it's a great CPU. keeps up with the i7's and when you overclock it (which is does amazingly well on stock cooling) it surpasses them. Stock it's 2.8 ghz, you should be able to hit 3.4-3.5ghz without issues... no voltage modding is needed in most cases too.

Wait, you can do that with the Steam version? I thought the game was updated through Steam. Actually, I'm pretty sure the game is updated through Steam.

EDIT: I was right. The Steam version doesn't have "BFBC2Updater.exe".

Wouldn't be caught with a nade launcher dead - never mind playing with it. I class it as a noob weapon :p

Only thing keeping me playing this is my fragmates. Had a one trying to knife me, whipped round and nailed him in the head. Ahhhhh let the good times roll...
i just bought a q9550 for this game, hopefully it improves the FPS by a nice margin...

I've got the Q9450 @ 3.6 Ghz OC. The Q9550 should OC past 3.6 easy!

I don't supose this game has a ingame FPS display does it? Think I might have to download FRAPS, and what about screenshot taking facility - F11/F12? Or is that FRAPS too?

It doesn't? That sucks. What I originally did was copy the "retail" version to my steam folder so that I didn't have to download 6gigs again, and verified the files.

Nupe, steam will automatically update your game when the update gets pushed to steam. :)
