Cool vid of a nice exploit in one of the conquest maps..

[Xilo]

Well after about 5 hours of total of playing MP, I'm doing a lot better.

At first, I was getting mostly 0:3 KDR. Starting to get 1:0 or greater now. Don't have a screenshot, but last game I managed 3k points. Got bronze knife, bronze light arms, conquest, best squad pins. Not bad I suppose for having not played a FPS in years.

Heh I remember discovering that within like the first week of play. Just never got around posting it I guess. You can be a real pain in the ass if you get up there as a sniper, which I did :D

Maybe I should finally get around to installing Ventrillo and see how it all pans out. I need to find a clan though that is not really a clan so to speak, meaning there are no expectations of when you can play and being around X amount of hours each week. Hopefully something like that exists. Also I don't know maybe it is just a preconceived notion I have based on past experiences but a clan to me also indicates a level of seriousness that I am just not really into committing to. Meaning I just play for fun and I really wouldn't want that to change much if at all. Do not get me wrong, I also play to win, but a clan just says to me the whole mindset is "must-win" so to speak. And honestly all clans I have participated in during the past were all not on the very serious side, but there was still a seriousness about it all if that makes any sense.

That's how my 'clan' plays, the majority just plays for fun with a select few that play serious.

Finally got the Barrett sniper rifle and it's worse than the GOL.

Grrrrrrrrr.

Love the GOL though.

I like it because you can take down choppers with it.

Entirely a matter of my opinion. I find it to be an amazing sniper rifle but the M24 wipes the floor with all of them strangely :laugh:

till you get the m95 ;) lol.

One sniper I do like that I haven't unlocked I'd the GOL. Since it has full accuracy I like to use it at not so long distances but basically the way I snipe whenever I've pickedup the gol each bullet had always been a kill for me. Where as each time with the m24 if the didn't die right away / headshot it atleast hit them. Bad thing btw it's ready to shoot again person has moved / you can't get a clear shot

No I do have the M95 and I still use that the most but I still find myself doing really well with the M24 and the only reason I use M95 over it is as you said here that M24 just don't put a mofo down :laugh:

[Sikh]

Lol that's true. I just know the 2 times I picked up a m95 I could feel the power with each shot I took

[Green_Eye]

Haha yeah it's especially satisfying to get a no scope with it :D

[HostileGamer]

I'm not home right now posting from my phone but a few members are currently playing on the 360 and I plan on joining them in about 2-3 hours if they're still around. So if you have the 360 version and would like to play with a few of us feel free to hit me up when I'm online later or look for greeneye now. Gonna be between 11-12 midnight EST USA when I'm on. DL

[Tech Star]

If I buy this through the EA download manager or through retail can I play with the people that bought it through Steam (some of you guys)?

Yeah we waited and now were off. Dude you missed the funniest and funnest gaming session in recent memory! Even though I was half asleep most of the time the amount of crap we got up to was insane! Lets just say it involved using mines to catapult Munky out of the map etc... Seriously have not had so much fun and laughs in a very long time :D

Yes, you can. The game has it's own server browser and friends list.

[Tech Star]

Yes, you can. The game has it's own server browser and friends list.

Yeah I know, but I thought I read somewhere where it was not allowed to be installed and played on Steam or something like that if you did not buy it from Steam.

[carmatic]

can you guys tell me more about the unlocks in the game? do they simply give your character an advantage, or are they balanced by some other disadvantage so that you need to actually be skillful to use them...

[trag3dy]

It's not a Steam game so you can't add it to Steam and download it that way if that's what you mean. But you can play with people who did buy it through Steam.

Some guns at the moment do give you a huge advantage (M60, it's going to be nerfed sooner or later) but all in all I think the game is pretty balanced. The biggest advantage you'll have in the game is learning the maps.

[Tech Star]

Well I bought it off of EA Store (Digital) and downloading atm.

If anyone wants the deal I got, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (PC Digital Download), is 49.95 - $10 (Digital Download Promo) - $20 (Apply: "PAXEAST842" Coupon w/o quotes) = $19.95.

[Minifig]

We really should get some Neowin Servers for this as popular as it is.

[trag3dy]

The trouble is where would the server be located because we have people from all over the place.

Anyways... I might be willing to donate some money to get a server, it could be fun.

[SMELTN]

yeah you really can't get a good centrally located server when you have people here on Neowin from all over the world. Would be fun to all get together sometime for sure.
