mg36 with RDS > m60

Thing is, the MG 36 has a Red Dot Sight no matter what. You can't use the 4x Rifle Scope.

As for my previous post, I confused the M60 with the MG3 (the final Medic weapon unlock).

Nah. The game pretty much doesn't carry on from the previous story. I don't think that there are many, if any, moments where the story from the first games is referenced. I got the the Limited Edition version of this game at release and it's actually really addictive.

Ah thanks.. I picked mine's up today lol.. enjoying SP so far. Can't wait to finish it then hop onto MP. Also picked up LE.

Eurgh, just had a proper noob experience.

Some idiot player by the name of Implying was going round our M-COM stations and C4ing them until they were destroyed.

So many flaws in this ****ing game.

I used to play Medic a lot and never really used the M60. The rate of fire is insanely high and I didn't like the poor accuracy/damage. I prefer the MG 36 and T88 LMG.
Errrr you are sure you have played with the M60? The thing is an unstoppable death ray. In the hands of a noob player it is annoying, in the hands of an experienced player (ie me! :p) it is unstoppable. I generally as a rule don't play with the M60 (anymore). The AN-94 is a much better gun. However, it does **** me off when random noobs think they are better than you. Which always ends up with me switching out to a M60 and going on an unstoppable kill streak. God, I love punishing noobs.

I used it once or twice but I confused it with the MG3.

another thing which i am finding annoying is that i have enough hs's to get the marksman bonus but i only get the bonus when i snipe.... i get alot of long range shots using xmp +4x but i dont get the bonus...only the +10.

anaron: the m60, is just aim and spam... the rate of fire is such you can get some one on the other side of the map with about 30 bullets in a second. where as say with the xmp, which i use, you can only do 1-2 shot burst to be accurate(iuno to snipe with xmp i have to do 1 shot at a time). its worse when you have about three medics together and they keep defibbing each other whilst the other spam you through a building. its satisfying when you kill them though.

Every server I go to, I only get killed by medics and the M60. Actually before I even die, in mid fire fight with someone I call out M60 and behold... M60 kills me.

Heh.

The same thing happens to me. I just find it ridiculous that a medic, which isn't supposed to primarily be an offensive and powerful class, can beat out an assault class most of the time in a fire fight.

The only time I am able to beat them is if begin firing first or if I catch them off guard, but if we both notice each other and start shooting at the same time, the medic is bound to win.

Proof... it's not 950 exactly but it's not 1000 either... I'm not entirely sure why you would think I would lie about this.

Simply because it shouldn't be unlocking early. No offense meant, but the game should have it at 1000 kills. That it doesn't surprises me, but I'll yield to the truth.

i have a friend who does that...another one is using the anti tank mines, laying them around it and shooting at the mine, making them blow up. I call it dirty tactics. My favourite is when the M-Coms are in a building. I just jump in a tank or use the 40mm grenade and take down the building. Again its a dirty tactic but it work well.

I found out the other day, that your choice of scope with the MG3 does make a difference. If you don't choose anything, you get pretty much no zoom, but a neat little red dot to help you aim. If you choose the red-dot you get slightly more zoom with the same red-dot. Choose the 4x scope however, and the MG3's red-dot gives you 4x zoom :)

I figured that this couldn't possibly be overlooked by DICE - and had a play around with it. Thankfully, it does work well :)

Sorry I should have pointed out, that this wasn't an enemy player. He was on our team (ie the defenders), that is what ****ed me off.

Edit* Also "R9" servers are going to be out soon...

1) admin.say command implemented

- the output currently looks a bit funky on the game client, like so: Player: [server]: <text>

but with the next game client it will look like: Server: <text>

2) admin.yell to squad has changed (you need to specify both team and squad)

3) squad numbering has changed - the "no squad" squad has ID 0, and real squads are 1 and up.

4) Autobalance improved, it shuffles people both during and between rounds now, and does a better job. No way to turn it off via admin interface yet I think.

5) mapList* commands reworked

6) banList* commands reworked

7) listPlayers command added

8) admin.listPlayers command reworked (GUID, kills, deaths, ping and score added)

9) Players have non-PB GUIDs now (these are distinct from PB GUIDs)

10) onChat event reworked

- now it specifies target player subset as well

- shows text before profanity filtering

- client-originated chat messages starting with "/" make it to the server, and broadcast via onChat, but are not broadcast to other game clients

- use "/!<command>" if you want to be able to send commands to your homemade rcon tools without showing the commands to other players

11) player.onAuthenticated added (it's triggered when a player receives GUID)

12) player.onSquadChange, player.onTeamChange implemented

13) Couple of crash fixes

14) Support for "region" setting

How are people taking screenshots? Is it true you need to use FRAPS to take them? I tried and I couldn't find them in the save folder and I couldn't copy off the clipboard.

I'm pretty sure you need FRAPS to take screenshots. I couldn't find a screenshot button in the controls, and when I tried to do a Print Screen, it just ended up being completely white when I tried to copy it off the clipboard. I downloaded the free version of FRAPS and now I'm taking screenshots with no problems.

Shame on DICE for leaving out a feature that virtually every PC game has, though.

any come across the rush map isla inocentes? where the second part of the map you can take down the building with the m-com station in with a knife

i had it done to me the other day, i hope its fixed soon or it could get quite annoying

That building can be destroyed really easily anyways by a Bradley and a couple of mortar strikes so it's not to much of an issue I think. Certainly not one that needs to be super high priority anyways.

Yes, I have. It is an exploit, and ruins gameplay. They need to fix it quickly.

What?! This needs to be fixed straight away, I am 100% sure that the game designers didn't intend for that map to be played that way. It should be patched ASAP. And the fact you can destroy a building to complete the object is a piece of crap as well. All you would need is for your team to go recon and drop mortars on it, and game over for the defenders. There is no way to defend/stop mortar attacks.
Does anyone else notice the more bouncing of the medic guns with the red-dot sight? It's throwing me off. :p
Yes, as I have said before RDS (Red Dot Sight) is practically useless. It hides the target, and bounces around like a pair of good ######.

red dot sight useless? :blink:

i use it on every class :p

yeah you need FRAPS

red dot sight is useful, love it on my m1.

Anyone else getting random servers with low pings but you are lagging like a mofo for some reason? Random servers for me (that are usually perfect) are having random jumps in ping/latency (whatever DICE is calling it now) and makes the game unplayable.

I am trying to get the Veteran status so I can get the unlock but the site has been down for days. Anyone else having this issue?

the original site was pulled because they put http://www.badcompany2.ea.com/veteran up.

You can view your stats right away. They are updated every second pretty much. Also veteran management is now easier and better integrated. The original site will be back for other games like it use to be or each games offical ea page(game.ea.com) will have the veteran system incoporated.

But yeah that's the website, easier to manage.

@rajput: yeah I'm getting the good ping / bad lag issue. But what I noticed was the server browser starts showing you servers closer to you so basically every Chicago server I'm a regular. Works great. Waiting for r9 servers to fix other servers.

How can you view your stats? I haven't been able to see that stats page since all that was merged into one site 2-3 weeks ago. I can only look at my veteran info.

    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is also the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two. Poll Poll: How much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? $59.99 $69.99 $79.99 $89.99 $100 or more Submit Vote If you have a very specific prediction in mind, sound off in the comments below.

    • The Light of Life? We actually do glow till our Death, study finds by Sayan Sen Image by Rafael Rendon via Pexels A study by researchers at the University of Calgary has found that living organisms produce an extremely faint light known as ultraweak photon emission, and that this glow appears to drop significantly after death. The research was published in the Journal of Physical Chemistry in April 2025 and quickly drew widespread attention, leading to more than 200 news stories about the findings. Ultraweak photon emission (or UPE), sometimes called biophoton emission, refers to tiny amounts of light released by living cells as a result of normal biological activity. A photon is the basic particle of light, and researchers say every living system examined so far, including plants and animals, has been found to emit these photons. The glow is far too faint to be seen by the human eye. “I suppose it has a little to do with people being reminded of auras,” says Dr. Christoph Simon, PhD, one of the authors of the study and a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy in the Faculty of Science. “It is a fact that living beings glow. It’s a very weak glow, but it’s there and visible with very sensitive cameras.” According to the study, the light involved is extremely weak, ranging from 10 to 1,000 photons per square centimetre per second across a spectral range of 200 to 1,000 nanometres. For comparison, a nanometre is one-billionth of a metre and is commonly used to measure wavelengths of light. Detecting emissions at such low levels requires highly specialized equipment. To study the phenomenon, researchers used electron-multiplying charge-coupled device (EMCCD) and charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras. These imaging systems are designed to detect extremely small amounts of light, including individual photons, while minimizing background noise. The technology allowed researchers to capture signals that would otherwise be impossible to observe. The team worked with the Human Health Therapeutics Research Centre at the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) in Ottawa to examine photon emissions in mice. Researchers took two-hour exposure images of the animals before and after death and compared the results. “We saw that the level of light that they emit – this biophoton glow – is distinctly different between living and dead animals,” says Dr. Daniel Oblak, PhD, an associate professor in Physics and Astronomy and the corresponding author of the study. The images showed a clear decrease in photon emissions after death across the entire body of each mouse. According to the researchers, this provided direct evidence that living and dead tissue produce different levels of ultraweak photon emission. “It’s a very small amount and it’s, of course, very tricky to detect,” Oblak says. The study grew out of discussions between Simon, whose research interests include quantum biology, and Oblak, whose work focuses on detecting light for quantum communication experiments. Quantum biology is a field that explores whether processes described by quantum physics, which studies matter and energy at very small scales, may also play a role in living systems. “Since I work as a quantum physicist on light detection for quantum communication, I thought that experimentally we have a lot of the tools to be able to detect the light,” Oblak explains. The researchers also investigated UPE in plants and found that the light changed in response to stress. When plants were exposed to higher temperatures or physically injured, their photon emissions increased. Chemical treatments also affected the glow. Among the substances tested, the local anesthetic benzocaine produced the strongest emission response when applied to injured plant tissue. These findings suggest that ultraweak photon emission is closely linked to biochemical and metabolic activity inside living organisms. Metabolism refers to the chemical reactions that allow cells and organisms to stay alive and function. Because these reactions change when an organism experiences stress, injury or disease, researchers believe UPE may provide a way to monitor those changes. The researchers stress that the glow is a physical and biological phenomenon, not a metaphysical one. Oblak says more research is needed to understand exactly how the light is produced and what information it may reveal about the condition of living tissue. “We must understand what that is to figure out what’s happening,” he says. “If we can understand how that relates to certain influences on the body – stress, diseases – then that could be used as a diagnostic tool.” The researchers believe the technique could eventually help scientists study health and disease without invasive procedures. Because UPE can be measured without adding dyes, markers or labels, it may offer a way to monitor whether tissue is healthy, damaged or alive. In plants, it could help researchers better understand how organisms respond to injury, heat and other forms of stress. While the work is still in its early stages, the study demonstrates that ultraweak photon emission imaging can provide a non-invasive and label-free way to observe biological activity. Researchers say the approach could become a useful tool for studying vitality, stress responses and other important processes in both animals and plants.
