The update for the Steam version came in at a whopping 777.4 MB. I feel sorry for those with slow Internet connections.

@+rajputwarrior

funfact - it was nerfed in the current patch

@+Chasethebase

which class are you playing?

All of them >_>

It's so easy to die now with the improved hit registration. :/

It's so easy to die now with the improved hit registration. :/

But equally as easy to kill.

[rajputwarrior]

i honestly forgot how gorgeous this game is...

I played last night for a bit...M16 is my god gun again <3

Everyone talks about it being improved but it has kinda gotten worse for me. Far too often slugs or shots from the Rex don't register at all even though I clearly see blood splatters. Pretty frustrating when that happens. :/

@+Chasethebase

Play medic and heal like crazy = quick leveling up. Go a bit easy on the revives though, there's no point in reviving if your facing a bunch of enemies. But, at the same time, don't completely ignore dead guys either. :p

[rajputwarrior]

sound is unreal in this game too, man i really missed this game. too bad call of duty is just around the corner so my time spent with this will be short :(

The solution is simple -- don't give in to the Black Ops hype. I think I'm probably the only person here who isn't the slightest bit interested in that game, though. In fact I'm dreading it, all we'll see on youtube for the next 3 months is boring black ops videos. :sleep:

After getting my second soldier to level 36, I'm now completely burned off of this game and all it's maps. Even thinking to skip Vietnam to take a good break from it (because the expansion is pretty much the same game), and just wait For Battlefield 3. Which I'm hoping going to be worth the wait, and not just be another MOH miss.

[ObiWanToby]

Do you guys feel tha the framerate drops in intense situations with 40mm grenades and explosions? Also maybe the mouse movement is weird at times?

Same here..u kinda lose interests once we unlock all classes and skills/weapons. Might pre order Black Ops for a different style of gameplay though

You are not alone mate.

Check out my post history lol.

Black Ops is basically the same as Modern Warfare 2 (which means the same as World at War & Modern Warfare the original) with new maps + new perks + dedicated servers.

I really don't see what the big fuzz is all about to be quite honest, I would understand if they were debuting a brand new engine or something, but no, It's the same IW Engine 4.0, or whatever it's called, all over again (which is starting to look real old).

What all these COD fans need is a good 2h session of BFBC2 with everything maxed out + War Tapes = best MP experience to date.

Smoke is no joke in this game. So a little slowdown is expected under these kind of situations, even on super high end cards.

I mean, I have a GTX 470 myself, and I can definitely see a dip in performance when under ultra heavy fire.

I can't say I've ever really noticed any framerate drops from any particular thing. Some times my gameplay will be so smooth it seems unreal. The next day on the same map and same server it will feel terribly laggy. I think it just has to do with the game still being poorly optimized for the pc and of course the servers performance, as well.

Yeah, those are pretty much all the reasons I have no idea interest in that game. It just looks more of the same, and I think Activision will be emboldened by the success of mw2 and it's map packs and charge more for less for maps and the like this time around, as well.

I agree with everything else you said, too, but I disagree with you about the War Tapes. Maybe it's just my sound system on my computer but War Tapes puts to much emphasis on ambient noise and reverb for my tastes.

...new weapons, new games modes and playlists, new unlock/progression system, new theater mode, new singleplayer, new zombies, new combat training mode...

but yea, basically the same

Perhaps on PC. On xbox this game is pretty broken.

You can't be serious right?, you just can't.

How could anyone be interested in playing any of those MP Modes, seriously, I just don't get it. Definition of arcade-ish.

I guess I like my games to have some level of thinking/strategy involved. Not just some run n gun/campfest game.

EDIT: And BTW, why on earth would you read what the Ignorant Gaming Noobs have to say about anything?

Yeah.. not a single interesting thing about any of that. I'm not trying to start a flame war here or anything but I still haven't seen a single thing that would make me consider spending more than $1 on.

At it's core it's still the same exact game as the last 2 modern warfare games with little to no variation in it's game play. Regardless that they made it so killstreaks do not count towards each other the game will still be about them. People will still think it's the most important thing in the game to have a 25 to 1 kdr. It will still be about twitch gaming skills and o m g I pwnd yer face noob. And it will still be a game that will appeal very much to younger kids because of those reasons. Granted that not all people will be like that who play the game but the majority will.

And that's another thing, lots of people complain that only KDR matters in BC2 and yet completely ingore the fact that that's what the CoD series has always been about.

ANYWAYS. This is not the thread to discuss Black Ops. I suggest we not derail this thread any further.

Agreed 100%.

So guys... thoughts on tomorrow's new BF game announcement? according to pretty much everything I've read, it seems that this is going to be another play 4 free BF title, but there's a part of me that wishes for a new BF2142, BF2143! lol (Impossible I know =/)

EDIT: Just imagine BF2142 built around a new Frostbite engine... :drool:

[trag3dy]

Can't say I've put much thought into. I think it will be a free to play game similar to Battlefield Heroes though. I personally think they should save their efforts and focus on Battlefield 3 or maybe some new maps for BC2.

New Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam trailer featuring the flamethrower :devil:

Also it's rumored we're getting some more maps, maybe ones from the first Bad Company game...

[Chasethebase Veteran]

I know this sounds really stupid, but the Flamethrower sound in the trailer sounds like a carbon copy of the one used in TF2. Or maybe it's just me.
