Team didn't find me until the end, and I need to work on my sniping skills again =/

@trag3dy Same here, thought I got kicked at first ha ha.

Playing recon is so boring. I have tried it a few times, and the only good things are the motion detectors and the C4 to below stuff up. Sitting there sniping away in the hills like you did has no appeal to me whatsoever.

New map with trag3dy, most say one of the worst teams I played with though.

I spotted for Trag3dy,friend and whoever else. Although I generally play Assault or Engineer

I really do0o hate snipers when you're attacking. It so bloody annoying, and then when we move up they're still sat there with their binoculars looking for people to shoot! It aggravates me so much.

Yep, the new map seems quite fun, very chaotic. But our team sucked bad bad bad. I should have took a screen shot of my awards. I got my second platinum and the award for getting 2 platinum stars. Nice 20k points. :laugh:

Well it was on a conquest map and it was guarding one of the flags so it was really quite a useful spot. It was funny that it took them the entire match to find where he was sitting because there was me and another guy jumping off the cliff every so often with a parachutes being very easily noticeable.

Edit: Also apparently the alternate outfits are the from the dr pepper promotion only I assume:

@iKiddo The Paid DLC is the Dr. Pepper Promotion. You have to buy Dr. Pepper, collect codes, and submit them. No news on release date

Lame, most likely an American only thing.

Yeah, the Dr Pepper promotions are for the US only. At least the one for Mass Effect 2 was/is. That doesn't mean someone from the US can't give you a code though.

Just decided to check out the new Conquest map for a round, and I experienced my first ever crash to desktop issue. Fantastic. :laugh:

Was weird, at one point during an explosion the screen flickered on and off and went white for a brief second, but it did not crash. A few minutes later another explosion, and just crashed to the desktop. No message, nothing. The only thing I have updated in awhile is my audio drivers, but I did play the other day with no issues at all after updating them, so wondering if it is just something that was enabled with the new maps.

My friend has had the "CTD - Crash to desktop" issue last week after the patch. Seems to be a common problem, although why it happens.. and when it happens seems to be completely random.

I've also had the crash to desktop, but it's been so rare I just ignore it and go back to playing. Although sometimes I think it is my computer telling me it's time to go to bed, since usually it happens after 2 AM :laugh:

Weirdest one was still last night when the whole team crashed...

Okay cool, hoping it was just a weird one time thing.

I also realized the other thing I did was move my Creative Sound Card from the bottom PCI-E slot to the top one closer to my GPU, just in case down the road I decide to SLi even though I doubt I will, but now I am wondering if that is messing with things somehow. I highly doubt it, but trying to just think of what has changed, since I have played the game without a single crash up until today.

I think the issue is that Bad Company 2 is very finicky, like Killmaster said last night when we were playing the entire team crashed out of the server. I think there is just some server side issues that cause the game to crash for people when a packet isn't sent correctly.

Actually that was an EA issue. Our server got kicked also, and when we looked to see if the server was down, it was up and showing fine.. So it wasn't just you guys.

This wasn't a kick, most of our team crashed to desktop.

I just played literally the worst team EVER in rush arica harbor. We were defending the first mcoms, teams were evenly numbered, server was full. I had to go into their spawn and spawn camp just because I was so bored. They never even armed one mcom. I was just running around their spawn as engineer killing countless numbers of tanks while hardly being shot at. It was ridiculous lol.

We had the actual crash where our entire team crashed and then there was a disconnect a while later where they enabled the use of the new maps. That could possible be what you were thinking?

What servers do you guys play on?

Also, can anyone tell me how I can the stats from EA so I can my own signature that updates live? The "http://bfbc2.elxx.net/" does not display the signature images for me to use.

What ever has the lowest ping usually.

      $80 or 90%, anything else would be financial suicide one way or another.

      Or... just use Bitwarden. Free, and has on-prem option as well. Works both on desktop and mobile, wherever you are. The age of local password files is over.

      I actually got to use one of those so called "backup codes" once. It was for a customer, I choose the backup code option, and by the grace of god, they actually hade them printed out. Imagine my surprise, when after using the backup code, Google then told use we had to enter a code they just sent to the gmail address we currently did not have access to. I was not amused, Google backup codes should be the end all get out of jail free card, because you had to have access to the account to even get them.

      On the topic of being locked out of a service. Recently two different friends of mine got locked out of their Google accounts. Both were hack attempts and one of them is waiting 30 days before he can get back in. He had backup codes and MFA but not a passkey. It was a browser token hack. Anyhow he has to wait 30 days for the dispute or whatever to end. The other person only had a password and is screwed losing all of the email, docs and years of photos. Google won’t help her at all. Her fault because she had no backup/recovery setup. Enable passkeys if possible. Also do NOT use browser based password managers. If using a cloud service make sure it is one you can fully sync to one of your devices so you can back it up. Like a PC or Mac with some backup drive plugged into it. Google is the worst to use IMHO. You can’t sync your photos at all. You have to use the “Take Out” service which is manual and takes days. That service strips the meta data from your photos. Also Google Docs synced to a device are useless without a Google accounts. MS Office/Libre Office is not going to open a link to a Google doc to a dead account.
