official Battlefield: Bad Company 2

[Sethos]

Oh okay, my bad.

Just had to put a foot down at that line :laugh:

[Singh400]

Singh400, did you even read what you quoted or did you just see the word "prone" and go mental?

I saw prone and went mental. Clearly! Did you not read my rant? :D :rofl:

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

It's my understanding that they were looking for more and more realism. The weapons, including their sound, their kick, their graphics, and even reproducing the bullet drop over long distances.

But here nor there, I would have found prone (a common stance in shooters) to be a welcome option. Not that I don't see some good reasons to NOT have it, but I have reasons that I do want it.

Fair enough. If you want it you want it. I am with Sethos though on this one.

Also just to address what you said, I think DICE saying what you referenced above about the weapons, from the point of view of someone who has played the series since inception, is that it sounds more like marketing gimmick talk than anything else. "The most realistic sounding guns in any video game!" "Real Life Gun Textures!!" It all sounds catchy. I cannot help but think they were touting those aspects more from a WOW factor than they are an integral aspect of our game factor. I could be wrong though who knows.

Anyways... fixed my problem. God damn server browser had some how got an X on ranked server filter. What a stupid system they have in place. It's so confusing. All that trouble for 1 little X. :blush:

Good to hear. But I definitely have to agree. I am not a fan of the new server system whatsoever.

[Blackhearted]

So is there some kind of reason why it'll save my loadouts for all classes EXCEPT medic? It's kinda annoying how i have to pick whatever changes i want only when i decide to go medic.

it's counter intuitive, it's like we are in the 90's with UI design... the old school WON/valve browsers are better then this one...

[trag3dy]

Yeah, I really don't get it. You can leave the box empty, which signifies you want that included in your search...or you can check it which does the same thing, or X it. It doesn't make any sense to have 3 options. Really counter intuitive.

[gkl]

^not really. Not having it checked means that you don't care if a server has smth enabled, X means that you don't want it. Tick means that you only want servers with that option on.

Not everyone is the same or will agree on everything. That is what is beautiful about being human. It's all good. I respect your desire to not have prone.

[trag3dy]

Whatever the case, it's not really clear what options do what. The filter options pre patch were more clear.

[gkl]

Well, I'm just glad that the server browser finally works nice and fast and has much more options to choose from when filtering. :) Now if only they'd fix Play Now... And knifing... And heli flares/smoke...

[Singh400]

Whatever the case, it's not really clear what options do what. The filter options pre patch were more clear.

I disagree wholeheartedly. The server/filter options are much more clearer now. Blank = dont care, cross = do not want, tick = do want.

[Chemaz]

Has anyone tried tank/vehicle flying?

Me and my mate tried it the other day, was hilarious, you just find (or make a crater) and fill it with mines and c4, then drive a tank or jeep (i find they're the best) into the crater and get sum1 to chuck a grenade into it. And since a teammate is in the vehicle it doesn't blow up (until it lands) so goes flying into the sky across the map (into an enemy base if you judge it right)

[rajputwarrior]

Whatever the case, it's not really clear what options do what. The filter options pre patch were more clear.

yeah i agree, it took a little bit to see how they were doing it... The problem is that they just stuffed more options into little space, not really re-doing anything.

[Sikh]

@Singh400: you will always get ******s like those in games and life. Just get them banned and let it go. I use to react and shut them up hard. Now I laugh everytime they type and they shut up haha.

[rajputwarrior]

does skill level actually mean anything on the PC version?

on xbox/ps3 its used for the matchmaker right?

[killmaster84]

I need to play this game again, been playing a lot of LoL lately. Wasn't to happy with the latest patch.

[Pheee]

Yup I play on 360 quite a bit.

can't get my tags that way

[rajputwarrior]

i haven't seen you online in a few days so hurry up and get back playing...

[killmaster84]

This saves me from giving you any more of my tags Having net issues, been trying to fix it all day. No idea when I'll be on next.

[trag3dy]

Rambo medics and cg spamming engineers are really starting to get old. The thing that bugs me about this game the most is that those are the only 2 classes you need and it's GG game over.

I just got out of a game where literally, it was about 50/50 medic engineers on opposite team. And they all have to say that we got owned/raped by their no talent skill less asses. I guess they honestly think they're good at the game playing only those 2 classes? It's really frustrating to say the least. It's just an endless barrage of carl gustav spam with revives whenever someone is killed.

CG needs a set up time and medic revive needs a longer cool down. That's the only way to fix it, imo. 2-3 seconds on the cg and 10+ seconds for the revive.

[Black Hawk]

Like I said before DICE/EA should really consider class/kit restrictions for online play. Maybe so it doesn't **** too many people off, restrict the Carl Gustav to one or two per squad and one medic per squad.

[Singh400]

Had massive session tonight. Finally got platinum on my M16A2 (Y) Started working on the XM8 Prototype, already up to 5 gold stars :D

Also ran into some idiot by the name of :Scorch:, who was threatening to ban me because I dared to answer back to him. I spoke to the admin later on, and they have now kicked him out of the clan :rofl:

@Singh400: you will always get ******s like those in games and life. Just get them banned and let it go. I use to react and shut them up hard. Now I laugh everytime they type and they shut up haha.

Yeah managed to get them banned from three servers so far. I have been meaning to report them to DiCE/EA, just haven't got round to it.
