official Battlefield: Bad Company 2

[rajputwarrior]

Uhh, it shouldn't be a joke. This POS is hard crashing, BSOD'ing, CTD'ing in a boatload of systems, including mine. I shouldn't have to mess around with every setting imaginable to get it to work, (it's still flaky by the way) when all my other games work perfectly. Also, ATI load times vs Nvidia load times? WTF?

It's a great game - when it works. I regret paying so much for it.

i agree with all of those points, especially the loading. since going from my 8800gt to my 5770, loading between maps have been longer.

The M16 is also really fun to use with 4x optics. You burn through ammo fast though, so always have an ammo pack at your side for prolonged firefights.

[mattmatik]

Can someone recommend another gun to use. I've have whored the crap out of M60 and the XM8 Compact. Need something in the same kind of power bracket.

I'm really loving the M416 as well. I use single burst with it since I tend to engage the enemy at a little lengthier distances to give me time to switch to shotgun if they are coming at me. I go to the XMP with Red Dot when I feel like throwing the controller out the window - which has happened rather frequently the last 2 days or so.

Platinum'd the AEK-971.

Think I might play some engineer to finish unlocking those weapons.

I raped with the AEK-971. Just play with different ones and find one you like or just go back to using the OP M60 with 4x scope and snipe it up.

Well so far any of the XM8 variants and the M60 are my favs to use. XM8 Compact in particular is a brilliant weapon.

Probably my favourite gun in the game, although keep in mind that I've only been playing Assault. It fires in three-round bursts and the rate of fire is rather slow, so it's definitely not for everyone. However, I always slap on the 4x scope when I'm using it, and it's great for long range maps like Atacama Desert.

Well I went whoring last night with the AN-94, and I love it. Three-round burst fire isn't an issue. As I aim to kil, not to tickle. And you only need one round of burst fire with 1 or 2 headshots to kill. The damage is insane. Had a K/D ratio of 4.0 last night (Y)

I'll usually switch between the AN-94 and the M416 depending on how well I'm playing. Some days, my aim is complete crap, so I switch to the M416 with the red dot sight and try to get some close-range kills.

I unlocked something after the An-94 last night with all my whoring. Could be that gun, I shall check it out.

And I find the red dot sight is useless gimmick as most of the time it hinders, not helps you. By hiding the target.

The M16 is also really fun to use with 4x optics. You burn through ammo fast though, so always have an ammo pack at your side for prolonged firefights.

Noted, I shall check it out.

Not a fan of single round burst fire. I am not that accurate.

Haven't touched this since I was BF noob :D Tempted to go back and try it again now...

XM8 Compact, nuff said.

[rajputwarrior]

someone looking for these?

and then this happened a couple of times, worst game of my life that one....

[bolerodan]

what is the difference between silver and bronze dog tags?

[rajputwarrior]

^ that's a good question actually...

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

what is the difference between silver and bronze dog tags?

It is the level of the person afaik

Found this...

• Bronze: Knife kill a player with the ranking 1-21 which is up to First Sergeant III and stops before officers.
• Silver: Knife kill a player with the ranking 22-45 which is from Warrant Officer I to Colonel III
• Gold: Knife kill a player with the ranking 46-50 which is from Brigadier General I to General of the Army.

[Spookie]

Bronze is rank 1-20 I think, silver 20-40 and 40+ is gold.

[bolerodan]

ahhh, and it all makes sense.

I've never come across a gold one yet, only bronze and Silver. I figured it was either due to Rank, or Faction.

I won't go as far to say that but from my experiences it's pretty easy to get a late night game, never had any issues with that. On the pc that is. :rofl:

[killmaster84]

@Pixel

I jump servers a lot, generally if there's room for my friends and I I'll follow trag3dy if not whatever server has a good ping and enough room. I'll try to remember to add all of you to my list tomorrow or later tonight.

Not really so far. :laugh:

Unrelated, I got a triple team kill with destruction 2.0 last night. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Only -45 points.

Noticed that as well. And it usually is when I get the 8 v 8 or less matches. It's also the worst in terms of balance since there is no auto-balance.
