For those wondering why they can't see pings in the server browser even running the game as an admin:

Quite a bad design on DICES part. (N)

I used to be unable to see pings, but the R7 client patch fixed that problem for me, so I had assumed it was fixed for everyone.

If you still can't see pings that really sucks, at least you can sort by region now for a slight boost in your chance of finding a lag-free server.

:p I must be the only one who doesn't even pay attention to ping. All I do is "Search", wait a few seconds, hit "Cancel", wait for another few seconds for the list to appear then sort by number of players in each server and join the one I fancy. Most of the servers I was on were almost lag-free.

What I found the most frustrating is that it's quite difficult to level up to Private Level 1 since you have no unlocks. Nothing's better than coming across a kit of a level 20+ player. Including the fact that I am not used to the few shots, 1 kill and the physics engine since I played Mass Effect 2 and a few other "arcade" games, it's going to be a while until I get used to this type of gameplay.

/BC 2 noob with a 0.20 K/D ratio.

I really want to get back in the game but I'm still massively disappointed 'bout the fact you can't attach scopes to global weapon unlocks - Such a massive bummer, I was gunning for the M14 and got it within a few days as

I was hoping for some good ole' fashioned Marksman-whoring and I end up with this crappy weapon that has iron sights from hell. Has there been any indication of them adding scopes for these weapons? Then I'd start

playing again in a heartbeat. ( I'm very picky :laugh: )

Ah. Maybe that'd have something to do with the difficulty getting a decent amount of pings at times. As well as why i often see a ton of 999s.

I would like to see them added back in. There's a big thread on the main forums about it and the general response from DICE is that they think it would make the guns to overpowered. Yeah...because we can totally trust there balance senses, especially after the patch last week. :huh:

Cheers for the reply trag3dy, I knew there had to be a thread like that somewhere :laugh: Glad to see there's at least someone trying to give the 'problem' some attention.

One thing though, reintroduce?! Are you telling me those weapons had the possibility of scopes and they removed it?! I hate DICE with a passion.

Yeah, there's videos from I think it was the ps3 beta that showed the G3 using the acog and M14 with a red dot sight. Why it was removed? No one really knows other than dice felt it was to strong for non-kit weapons. Which I think is stupid because they don't have any problems buffing LMG's when they were already the strongest class of weapons in the game all around.

I'll see if I can find it the videos.

Video here, around the 26 second mark you can tell it's the m14 from the iron sight:

You can also see the camo M16 in there as well. So yay for them charging for stuff that's already in the game. :pinch:

I'm not really surprised, seems like most game developers these days have a really hard time listening to player feedback - Once upon a time, developers would really listen and do everything in their power to

implement many of the wishes made by the users. These days, it's such a back-seat priority and barely 1/8th of the feedback is taken seriously and actually implemented while most of it is just some completely erratic

changes or implementations that leave the entire community stunned.

People actually give developers credit when they add, fix or implement features that is almost a bare minimum like, say, a working server-browser that doesn't give you a depression. I refuse to give anyone any sort of

credit for improving upon a steaming pile of cow dung; it should have been fixed from the get-go. ( Just as an example ) - Seems standards have hit rock-bottom and when you give a starving man a cracker, he will

eat that cracker and think of it as the best meal of his life.

Perhaps that's just me :/

Seems developers think we should be happy with anything we get for the pc even if it's half assed and a poorly ported port from consoles. Demize99, the main guy behind balances for all versions of BC2 has even gone so far as to say he won't read feedback on the forums because "those people are crazy".

Sounds very re-assuring.

Not surprised though, not only is the PC really a low-priority these days but most developers focus on DLC and gaining mass market by making everything as casual as possible across all

platforms - It's sad.

I really have a hard time adjusting and accepting this new-age dumbing down, casualfying and making games as lightweight as possible to profit from the mandatory 25 DLC packages. :(

Yeah, it's quite sad. I noticed on Steam the other day that you can pre order the new map pack for MW2 and save a whopping dollar and some change. I mean really? Really? Come on, you can save money by buying now on something that should be free anyways. Woo... how very generous.

Quick money is more important than having a long time fanbase I guess.

I want the camo m16 though. :wacko:

I've skipped so many games this generation purely because of this entire DLC milking fad and being casual for the sake of drawing in as many people as possible - Ah the joys of playing PC games with a large

community and easy modding abilities; downloading huge unit / map / sound-packs for free and then watching people pay through the nose for a vehicle, a weapon, a few maps or something else along those lines.

Oh well, enough ranting for tonight - Bed's callin' :laugh:

It seems right. But LMG's are accurate with just tapping as well. And that's where the problems come from because they can be used to snipe like that.

I was amazing at pre-patch with the MG36...Should go try it now.

Had some **** games tonight. Was killing as normal, but the rest of the team didn't fall into place. Not much you can do.

SQDM is great, but only if they removed that damn tank from every map. Pure infantry is the way to go.

Just played my first and last game of Squad Rush. Only to get the badge :D (Y)

Can't believe they nerfed the M16A2, it pretty much sucks now :( Can't wait till I get back to my trusty AN-94.

Sethos you are very right man. At the same time I was the hungry man with the cracker because I gave them the benefit of the doubt with browser.

But with the recen raw socket ping pos code and unbalanced balancing it makes me believe Demise is a ****ing retard.

But yeah I've just been using the m16/an 94. Still gonna play this game alittle. Just wore it out and play SC and other games now. Funny thing is I can always go back to cod4.

One thing to keep in mind though - the community cries about everything; it's really astounding (BC2 is my first online shooter btw, so no prior experience). And often about things that are basically fine. So to some extent I could understand the developer if they become desensitized to it. Not that it excuses sloppy coding, of course.

Welcome to the world of online gaming.

Go browse World of Warcraft's suggestion forums or hell the class forums.

People complain about the smallest things that make little to no sense at all.

People would complain the water was too wet if you could feel it in games.
