official Battlefield: Bad Company 2

[Joseph B]

Hadn't played in awhile, logged on a Noob friendly server since i'm only R25, and got pelted with 3 R40s, and 5 R30+...

Still had fun though, sitting around with GOL, just picking off the idiots bunny hopping around >_>

Reminded me that the game is still fun, in it's own ways.

[McCordRm]

I'm getting curious how Medal of Honor will play out.

I am having a blast with BC2, though.

[trag3dy]

Did you play the beta? It's a very watered down experience. It's like BC2 and MW2 rolled into one but it's not nearly as good as either game. Maybe they've improved it a ton since the beta, I don't know. Imo, they should have a second beta demo so all the people who canceled their pre orders because the first beta sucked so bad can try it again, like me.

Also if BC2 is any indication, DICE won't be supporting the game very well after it's released. Still though, it's more appealing to me than Black Ops is.

[gkl]

MoH has no destruction so that's kinda putting me off.

[trag3dy]

It has destruction it's just nowhere near as cool as BC2. They're claiming it's more realistic or something silly like that.

[gkl]

I couldn't dent a wall with a rocket launcher. That's hardly realistic. :D

The game definitely feels like a combination of MW2 and BC2.

[trag3dy]

Watered down combination at that... still it's more appealing to me than Black Ops for some reason. I keep saying that but it's true. I don't have any interest in MW v3.0. Not that I'll end up getting either of them most likely.

[Veedems Veteran]

Yea, that's what I'm going to have to start doing.

Right now, I'm trying to figure out the different sights on my Sniper rifles. I think I'm the

only guy using the M24. Most seem to use the SV98 SNAIPERSKAYA.

I'm using it. M95 is my next unlock, but I know the M24 so well and find it to have a very predictable drop making my life a lot easier when looking for headshots.

[McCordRm]

Not just that, but the + crosshairs rock. I love it. I wish I could add that sight

to the other guns.

[Tech Star]

What is the best sniper? I tried the GOL yesterday and I didn't like it as much as the M24.

Maybe because I am used to the M24.

[McCordRm]

I'm getting the impression that it's more about preference.

The M95, for example, is one I've seen quite a few players using

yet I find it WAY too slow for my tastes. The others probably

wouldn't be too bad if I could figure out the sights... but I just

can't get the hang of them.

[mikebiacsi]

I'm getting used to the M95 at the moment, it's pretty leathal with the magnum ammo spec once you unlock it. I may switch back to the GOL, that gun is freaking awesome!

My problem, with the GOL, was that I couldn't figure out the drop. It annoyed me to no end and I went back to the M24.

[xMetian]

Think it's still an matter of taste, I prefer the GOL. Sniper Magnum above the M24, altho M24 is also nice to shoot with. But I don't like the M95, but that's because I hate the 'zoom'.

But on the other hand, I most of the time play hardcore, so it doesn't matter much, because most of the kills are one-hit.

[trag3dy]

My problem, with the GOL, was that I couldn't figure out the drop. It annoyed me to no end and I went back to the M24.

All guns in the game have the same exact bullet drop. The only difference between the bolt action rifles is the accuracy. The more accuracy it has the less vertical sway the gun has when you're zoomed it. The GOL has 0 sway you have to compensate for so it seems like it has less bullet drop.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

The GOL is, by far, the best sniper rifle in the game. I used to think the M95 was better but I was wrong.

Anyway, check out this 25-kill streak video:

Yep, when it comes down to it-Nothing beats a GOL, some shots I make with it just leave me wondering, "How the hell did I hit that?" the gun itself, is just great, no matter in the hands of what player it will be a great rifle.

This is what I've been saying this entire thread! The GOL is awesome, probably my favorite gun in the game. Though now I'm starting to work on platinuming the SV98 and it takes some getting used to, the cross hair is really weird.

SV98 makes me want to skin kittens ><

I can't get use to that rifle at all, I love the way it looks but the cross hair really leaves me annoyed as well.

So I heard somewhere that DICE is going to make mcoms immune to all damage but from vehicles because players on the console versions of the games think it's to easy to c4/at mine them to death.

I have to wonder... do they know what this will do to rush on the pc version of the game? Where it's already hard enough to get past certain joke points (get it... because map design is a joke in this game) on just about every map as it is? Maybe they want to kill off BC2 so people will move to MoH?

It was supposedly said on twitter somewhere but I don't have any links right now. Will look into it later.

[Tech Star]

:o That guy is beast with that shotgun.

@Trag3dy: So no more c4 at the mcoms? YAY! :D I hate some "checkpoints" in certain maps. Just get a bunch of snipers and camp somewhere and its impossible to move forward. :/

[trag3dy]

Not so impressive considering he's playing on hardcore. You can see at one point he literally shoots a guy in his foot and he dies. I don't really care for hardcore mode in this game. :laugh:

And why on earth would you not want to be able to damage mcoms with c4? It will make winning on attack rush even harder than it already is.

Demize99 just wanted to know the opinion of players and asked about this on twitter. Due to a massive river of tears about this (rightly so), the idea was apparently scrapped.

@Tech Star

Slugs in hardcore feel a bit like cheating tbh. :D One hit kills with bodyshots at any range plus you've got crosshairs even when not zoomed in/aiming.

[killmaster84]

Demize99 still needs to die and make the PC version fun again.

[trag3dy]

I agree that sometimes when you're defending and getting steam rolled it's annoying when they use c4. But often as not the only way you're ever gonna take out an mcom is to use explosives on it.
