official Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Have you realized they fixed pings for non admins? I mean I read it, but I couldnt believe the "alternate method"(a proper one at that i believe) works the same for administrators and non.

I wish Xfire Overlay and/or Steam Overlay worked. It worked with BETA, but then went down hill. Xfire overlay never worked, told me to run xfire as admin, i do, and still no overlay in BC2.

Anaron, also has to alt tab, as do i to talk through steam, so does anyone have this issue?

I believe its common, and i hope they figure it out, hell atleast you dont get kicked for fraps running via Punkbuster for "disallowed program/driver"(cod4 pb, still no change to this).

But other then that, I can finally kill with the M95, games havent lagged for me at all, but pings do help a lot now.

But once SC2 beta starts, no more BC2 lol. But its fixed now, so I can play it instead of taking 2 months off like i already did. Still @ lvl 24 with everything completed but tanks(hate tank whoring).

SC2 beta? Isn't the game out in like 3 weeks?

I haven't tried the M95 since the patch. All they did was up the damage on it a little bit instead of giving it a correct headshot multiplier. I guess it works out though.

Come on now, guys. That was totally unnecessary. :|

[rajputwarrior]

so they are adding new modes to existing maps?

thanks dice... would it kill you to make another map?

thanks for the info though SCRISP (Y)

[ObiWanToby]

Yeah I'd like to see more original maps.

Totally agree, I would love some different maps that have not yet been seen. I just hope they bring some NEW maps out before Vietnam.

Although i'm looking forward to Port Valdez Conquest, it's got two attack helicopters.

[Singh400]

White Pass is probably the best map ever. Be interesting to see how Rush plays out on it.

[Sethos]

Haha, "Map packs" my ass.

[rajputwarrior]

Haha, "Map packs" my ass.

come on seth, you should know this is a map pack to Dice/EA by now... at least they arne't charging for them (if they were i would go all brown on them and fly a plane into dice's headquarters...)

honeslty more then anything, i wish in hardcore mode at least, they would take out the tank in squad deathmatch, or at least give the server the option of removing it...

stupid nubs hoping in the tank

Personally I think this will turn out into a disaster. People are going to be sat on the roof of the create building sniping the attacks as soon as they spawn. This map will turn into an easy spawn raping match for the defenders on the first base.

Well, there is an Infantry-only mode available...

[rajputwarrior]

doesn't work in squad deathmatch. i play in a couple of servers that ban people that hop in the tank, but if theres no admin present being just go nuts...

[gkl]

^that's just silly. SDM is the perfect mode to utilize infantry-only. But then again, since there are too few server browser options, it would be listed as hardcore as well. meh

[trag3dy]

Well as someone who avoids conquest with a passion those converted maps are still somewhat new to me. That being said... it's time to stop hiding behind old content DICE, we need new maps before the Vietnam expansion.

R16 test for hit box videos:

Looks good... according to what I'm reading server population doesn't affect hit detection what so ever.

[Sikh]

Good find trag.

I do have to admit, playing all the BF games this one is a "let down" with the random bad patches and then really good ones and then bad.

I mean, if anyone played BF2 at launch, it was PLAGUED with problems, but finally they smoothed it out and thousands of people sitll ply that game.

Hell i go back to it more because I love flying jets, or just rushing in Strike at Karkand(favorite map of all time).

Wish DICE wouldnt listen to demize, leave him to the consoles and get someone sensible or PC. Hopefully BF3 is STRICT PC, so we can get full BF2 + BC2 + new idea awesomeness in the mix.

[trag3dy]

It seems odd that they're not forcing all servers to be R16 though.

Anyways, I wouldn't get any hopes up for BF3 being an exclusive pc game. There is simply to much money to be had by releasing it on the consoles. I could see maybe nVidia or ATI trying to get them to release it exclusively on the pc to sell hardware but I really doubt that will happen. Especially if EA gets their say in the matter.

An interview with a Self-Absorbed Sniper :rofl:

[trag3dy]

BS: What's the key to your lack of success? Specifically, your strategy on the attack?

That's great. :laugh: :rofl:

Exactly that. Consoles are too important to be left in the cold when developing such AAA titles as the Battlefield series. It's dumb to assume that EA would consider making BF3 only on PC as the income wouldn't be high enough. Unless they introduce some sort of subscription, ie, WoW, but that would be retarded.

Demize99 I don't make balance changes based on the popular opinion in forums. That way lies madness.

@oskarki Underused but over effective. There's two other AT weapons if you don't like it. Variety is it's own spice.

I'm wondering what he bases his balance changes on? Whims? This guy needs to be fired asap. And that ladies and gentlemen is the man who is in charge of balancing this game. I guess it explains why he nerfed the AT4 into uselessness though. Because no one ever complained about it on the forums.

The mans an idiot and I hope he wasnt with them for BF2 because I like the balancing in that game. In this game, he is the reason of the downfall.

He needs to get his ass kicked out of there fast.

Also, its not STUPID to think BF3 will be PC only seeing how majority of BF games were PC and the first BC originally came out on Console by EA so when DICE jumped in or was brought in for BC2, they brought it into the PC world.

I really hope if anything, BF3 stricks truly to PC and console players are left with a ****ty port and not the other way around.

[trag3dy]

Yeah, we can hope, but I just don't see it happening with how they're treating BC2 and MoH. It seems they're in it for the money now and nothing else.
