official Battlefield: Bad Company 2

[Sikh]

Ugh, want to get back into this game but it's too much of a system hog, I can run MW2, TF2 and CS:S all on medium/high (CS on max obviously) while with BC2 I have to run it in Dx9 and lowest settings...

being able to run mw2 isn't a big thing.... But either way like anaron said. Gpu/CPU please.

And believe me for being a "system hog" in your eyes, it's ****ing worth it. Beautiful and fun!

^^ I read a post on the official forums where some one was claiming that it's better to run the game at the lowest settings. I'm willing to bet that person doesn't have a good enough computer to run it on high. And even if it is better to run lower settings I couldn't stand looking at it to bother playing. :laugh:

Anyways, I like the White Pass rush map. It's fairly small with 3 different sets of mcoms. The hardest set being the first. And most importantly no vehicles on it, which I definitely like.

Eugh, so about a million years after I quit the game, I decide to give it another try.

Start up the campaign, just to tweak my graphical options and yet again the game goes lemon because there's a joystick connected, unable to move the mouse etc.

Is there some way to fix that without unplugging the joystick? Can't believe this bug still persists :/ ( I want to use it to fly ofc. so no unbinding it either )

I play fine with my 360 controller plugged in...

This is a flightstick.

Even tried two different sticks with two different effects, one renders me unable to move until I unplug and the other makes the camera spin around until I unplug it.

Got my 5 day play insignia yesterday...I've spent my life on this game o_0...I've played it virtually every day since it came out, bar the week I spent on Alan Wake, the 3 days I spent for revising, and the week my 360 was away for repair...

What video card and CPU do you have?

PS: 4,500+ replies. Yay!

I have a Mobility Radeon HD 4570 and a Core 2 Duo P7350 @ 2Ghz. It's the particles that make my computer go slow. Also I can't really experience beautiful when my PC has to run it this low.

WEI of 5, Gaming Graphics on 6.2. BFBC2 states that a 4.0 is recommended. As if. :lol:

Just make sure HBAO is off, that's a killer for lower end hardware

I'm not sure how to get them working, I always used the keyboard. But there is this thread:

Maybe that's what you're looking for? It just sucks that you have to use third party software to make things work right. Lazy DICE. Lazy. I'm also not sure if that applies just to the Saitek sticks, though.

Anyways, hope that helps.

Map Pack #5 released: http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/battlefield_bad_company/archive/2010/07/28/vip-map-pack-5-released.aspx

Daytime Nelson Bay (Conquest) FTW!

[trag3dy]

I read the map is not very great, that the flags are way to close together? I don't play conquest though so it's no problem for me. White Pass rush is fun though. Good shotgun map.

Ah, I see. I haven't played it yet. It's a nice change though (the time-of-day change thing, that is).

The Windows Experience Index doesn't mean squat for gaming. It's inaccurate and shouldn't be used as a reference for your hardware's gaming capability. The problem lies with your video card. It's very weak. You'll need at least a Radeon HD 4770 to get decent performance out of the game. Yes, it's a desktop video card but that's what you'll need to enjoy BC2 properly.

[trag3dy]

I fully convinced that about 75 to 90% of my deaths are from lag now. I've seen so many instances where I would run around a corner and start shooting someone only to die instantly and then see them raise their gun as die. Or I'll run along and empty a clip into someone and keep running up to them and knife them only to instantly die somewhere else. It's so damn frustrating.. I think I've had about enough of this game. Which is a shame because I like the gameplay.

Me and the GF are getting addicted to this! Hit level 4 last night

[Livin in a box]

This Saturday, at 7PM GMT, I will be hosting a Battlefield: Bad Company 2 gaming night on 360 (to check your local time, go here). I'm getting people from other websites to join to so the turnaround is hopefully going to be pretty good, so add Livin in boxes to your friends list and join me on Saturday!

I've played it most days since it came out.

Any reason I'm not suppose to STILL play this game with my friends?

[rajputwarrior]

don't blame ya

Any reason I'm not suppose to STILL play this game with my friends?

yeah it got worse and worse with every patch. im not saying you guys don't have to play it. but this game is plagued with problems that only get worse after every patch.

[Livin in a box]

I can't see many problems...and if you're going to say overpowered medics, then so what? Half the time the people who play as medics don't even know what they're doing.

- lag

- rubber banding

- over powering medics is a HUGE one (i only played on HC servers so it always was a problem because those guys tend to know what they are doing)

- guns getting nerfed or more powerful becuase one guy has certain biases towards guns he likes or does not like

- garbage server ui

and i keep going....

it's generally what happens when you port a console game to PC (anyone who tells me this is not a port is an idiot)

[gkl]

I still play it every day and enjoy it. :p

Platted the 870 shotgun today. Feels good man. Especially considering all the times lady hitreg decided to **** me over.

Next one - probably the VSS. Only 2 more golds to go. imo more recons should join the front line with this gun, it's quite good.

[trag3dy]

I agree about lag and rubber banding but on some servers it's not as bad as others. Medics have been annoying since day one and I don't like hardcore, I won't share my thoughts on that. I agree about Demize, the guy is a total idiot and his latest brain child is to remove any sort of way to damage an mcom. That means no c4/mines/rpgs would be able to damage them, the only way to win is by setting them off of D2.0. I'm guessing he got stomped in White Pass rush and realized the bad map design.. And I don't play a game for it's server browser so while it's garbage it's a non-issue to me.

Interesting rush idea: Infantry can only plant. Only Vehicles can damage crates. (Plus D2.0) No C4, No RPGs. Thoughts? Feedback?

Feedback: Hell no.

And another thought.. he brings this up on twitter instead of posting it on the you know.. discussion forums. The guy is a grade A *******.
