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).

[Razorwing]

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.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

The AN-94 is "pure pwnage". :|

[Slane]

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.

[Chemaz]

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

[Tech Star]

Does anyone else notice the more bouncing of the medic guns with the red-dot sight? It's throwing me off. :p

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.

[Hellacool]

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?

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.

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.

[w33zy]

i got some look a like lagging just also couple minutes ago, stopped playing :no:

[rajputwarrior]

yeah they must be having issues again... hopefully r9 comes out sooner then later.

[Sikh]

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.
