official Battlefield: Bad Company 2

[Slane]

Played all 4 maps in Onslaught last night and got 4 out of 8 acheevos. It's indeed fun, and I am glad they added it. However, I don't think it's $10 worth IMO. Probably really worth $7 at most. Once you play through them, which is relatively quick on normal mode (best time so far for one map taking down 3 flags is 4 minutes), it will be pretty repetitive after awhile. No doubt hardcore mode will make it take longer and add additional need for some skills and working together. We were able to do 2 people on the desert map, and took our time and did it on normal in 20 minutes. We were scoping out the map and trying different options.

Normal is quick and hardcore is, IMO, the only thing worth playing. Found Atacama desert the hardest one to do, due to the ridiculous amounts of Engineers, Tanks, and that Heli at the end. Other than that, you'd be correct it's not worth $10, but it's still a good DLC.

I rushed through Normal and a few of the hardcore maps when I completed 'em. Time to get a squad together to try to get sub-10 on all the hardcore's.

What do you need help with?

[Chasethebase Veteran]

Just can't seem to kill people... Its annoying

[trag3dy]

You'll learn to kill them more easily.. it's not really something anyone can help you with. You'll get most of your kills when you learn the maps and where people like to be at on them.

At low ranks you will struggle. Just keep calm and carry on. You will eventually unlock the good stuff, and the kills will flow.

The only way to get better is to play more. Eventually, you'll get comfortable with the game and when that happens... the kills will flow like a slit wrist with no bandage.

"Bandwidth Exceeded. Check back tomorrow."

Hopefully it comes soon. I haven't played in about 3 weeks.

They have said that many times. I'll see on Wednesday.

I might have to eat my words...

after a lot of trials and tribulations, all versions of the game client has now completed qa successfully.

We will do no more testing on it.

All game servers will need to be taken down for updates. The maintenance period starts on wednesday jun 30th at 07:00am (gmt+2). Most of them should be back up by 11:00am (gmt+2).

during this time window, we will also release the new game client.

Check back after 11:00am (gmt+2), and try out the new game client!

------------------

the client patch is approximately 890mb large. The list of changes is pretty much the same as is listed here. I'm going to write a post which explains some of the background behind the delays later tonight.

1gb patch. Jesus, #$@ me sideways. Is that for the Xbox too?

[Chasethebase Veteran]

I seem to be doing better now, hard to aim these guns, maybe its because I'm used to MW2 and TF2.

Also I find that most of the ironsights on the guns are crap to begin with. Doesn't help that the game is quite the performance hog, running around 30FPS on Lowest settings, where MW2 gets a constant 60FPS on med/high.

thanks for the info (Y)

and wow it's almost a gig... and this is the duke nukem forever of patches. i refuse to believe it until i see my client actually updating.
