I am really enjoying the Vietnam add-on, but I am still struggling to get into Bad Company 2 over all, I don't know why, it offers everything I want when I want to get away from Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops, I suppose my main gripe is the weapons, they all seem a little under powered, anyone got any tips to help get me into Bad Company 2 and the Vietnam add-on?

Does playing in a Xbox Live Party help? I normally just jump into a game on my own and join a squad, any tips would be greatly appreciated as I really do want to enjoy this game.

Thanks

So, how is Vietnam for everyone? Worth purchasing?

I would say definitely.

I think it's safe to say that the pc is winning the battle. :laugh:

Not as drastic as I thought it would be actually.

DirtyLarry, thanks for the recommendation. Been playing the singleplayer campaign for a few hours now (always play the SP before MP, so I get used to the weapons), and I'm loving it. The characters, their humour and breaks in action make it stand out from the last CoD game I played (MW2). :)

I recently got back into this because a friend bought it and I was trying to show him the ropes and I found out that in my absence the red dot sight had become available on the M14, the very next game I went 40 - 22 KDR with that weapon! I always bitched and moaned that I couldn't put Red Dot Sight on that thing and that's why I wanted it so bad (Y) Love this game and will be getting Vietnam tonight if not then tomorrow for sure!

Also I played a few rounds with ynnoj who's also from Neowin and I seem to have forgotten how awesome Neowinians are to play along side (forgive me O Mighty Neobond :p ) so I will be deleting a few inactive people from my (full) friends list to make way for some of you Neowinians that may want to hook up for a few rounds on the 360 (Y)

This holiday is really busy for me, so I won't be able to get Vietnam until sometime after Christmas, but I definitely want to hop on soon. We should squad up (Y)

Too bad S1uggo traded this game in for Black Ops LOL

Awesome. Very happy to hear you are enjoying it. I am a huge fan of the BF series, so I definitely recommend it when I can and when I feel it is worthy. You should absolutely 110% enjoy the MP once you are done with the SP. The MP is truly were the game shines. If you have it on PC feel free to add me as a friend, soldier name in-game is DirtyLarry, same as here. But very cool you are enjoying it. (Y)

So I guess it will be PS3, PC and 360 actions combined. It shouldn't take too long... that's if console players aren't too busy sniping in a bush some where...

Happy Birthday Man!

Just bought this game from the steam sale and I have no clue what to do. I'm used to CoD style games where if you see someone you kill them. This game though seems totally different that I dont even know where to begin.

That's funny because I always feel that way when I play a CoD game in MP! I absolutely feel lost in CoD.

I forgot to say that I bought this when it was on sale on Steam. I'll get around to playing it soon, once I ween myself off Gran Turismo 5. :p

And it Just so turns out I am just implementing a new program here on neowin. That is bfbc2 pro-power tips, which is priceless information, all for the extremely fair price of just lending me a car here or a car there in Gran Turismo 5! Let Me know if you are interested. :rofl:

I was bored a few weeks ago and decided to reinstall BC2 buy Vietnam and after playing it decided it was crap and went back to playing classic BC2 and i thought id give Hardcore mode a go and damn im hooked now its so much better than regular mode.

I know a lot of these points were medal awards rather than game actions but im proud of it. I LOVE Heavy Metal and Harvest Day maps they play to my favourite classes so well (Recon and Engineer)

Wow, I thought PC would win but not by that much! It's shameful how little the console folks don't help each other, instead trying to get their own K/D ratio up. I'm always giving people ammo and swapping classes so I can revive the dead folks...

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
