PC is very team oriented. It is amazing how long it can take for my squad mates to get on the same team as I though. When the game was first released it would group squads exclusively. Now it will split you. If it weren't for that, I imagine the team actions would be even higher.

This game is rocking pretty well lately. It had hiccups but turned out well. It runs better than black ops, and looks significantly better, pretty sweet. Rumor is Frostbite 2 will be amazing on the PC as well. DX11 is beautiful, and efficient.

I play BFBC2 on the PC and PS3.

I'm surprised that the resupplies count is so high on the PS3. I run out of ammo all the time and I literally have to go around looking for someone to give me ammo. Sometimes I'll find someone that's paying attention and they'll throw me some down. There are times, however, where I have to jump in front of the guy while shooting my pistol at him.

I only find the characters seem clunky when I'm lagging, if I have a good connection then it all seems fine for me.

I'm not surprised pc players are in the lead with the team actions, I have always found pc gaming to be more sociable and talkative, having a keyboard for coms probably helps.

I swear there is a hidden trend in BC2. For a few days, I'll have a great game after great game (for the record I don't mind losing to a good team, but I more than hate losing because my team sucks) , and then all of a sudden for a couple of days my luck runs. And I end up with a team that is well crap. Highly frustrating.

In other slightly more happy news. Operation Hastings map is very close - 65,255,498 so far only 3,744,502 more team actions to go!

Yeah I love BC2 but pretty much every game has insanely imbalanced teams, what you are seeing is the luck of the draw of being on the stacked team vs the team getting owned. Even games are all to rare in this game.

It's far worse on the consoles. On the PC you can play on servers with active admins that try to balance teams. On the PS3, you're stuck. You can only leave and hit "Play Now". I've played too many games that were 8 v 4 or 10 v 5

Oh no, I get lucky, and mostly land on balanced server. Yeah sometimes you land on a server when you can run around with a pistol. Just nailing everyone as you go. But stuff like that gets boring quick, and usually ends with me quitting.

Yeah, I'm not surprised that the 360 is lacking in resupplies and spotting. I always use the ammo upgrade when I'm an engineer because in a lot of matches you rarely come across someone with an assault kit, and they usually don't get the hint when your character is yelling that they need ammo in another language, lol.

Also, if it wasn't for this thread I would have never known about spotting when I was starting out. I think I was approaching level 15 when I first found out about it.

Me and my squad had a good run of at least 20 games undefeated tonight! :D

Also aside from like 1 time where some guy got best squad medal on his own(he was insanely good) we had best squad nearly every single game. I love good teamwork!

Hell yes buddy no doubt the only obstacle might be that we have made a very unusual playing pattern and that is we are playing very late into the night to make sure we get some time with those over the pond so if you don't mind late nights we will always have a spot (Y)

On the PS3 version, if you aim at an assault class (or medic or vehicle like a tank) and press Select (the spotting button), it will tell the assault class that you need ammo (or in the case of a medic, that you need first aid or someone in a tank that you need a ride). It helps to set the voice overs to your localized language.

Same thing on PC version, doesn't mean someone will actually pay attention and give you anything tho. More times then not they won't pay attention and thus continues the long road of finding ammo.

I've never had issues with ammo on the PC version. Almost every server I go into, there's always people that throw ammo/health kits around like their life depends on it. And whenever you can't find those people, all you have to do is spam the use key near someone playing with an assault or medic class.

Yeah, I know. I do it all the time. Only works when people are paying attention.

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I use Gemini in my rotation of AI clients...that work pays for. It is good at most things, better than copilot for imgage searching and making images, worse at writing vs Claude and way worse at hadling technical issues when it comes to Azure stuff. I also use YT premium and maps. Anything else Google is a pass for me. I have now seen multiple people locked out of their Google accounts for reasons that are just very vauge.
    • Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant"

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced plans to build a new datacenter campus in Pecos, Texas, as the company continues to invest billions in AI infrastructure. The new facility, called project Kilby, will reportedly have a capacity of 2 gigawatts and will be one of the largest single capacity additions in the company’s history. To power the campus, Microsoft signed a 20-year deal with Chevron to supply natural gas from the Permian Basin, America's largest oil field. This deal is set to become the largest collaboration to date between a U.S. oil and gas giant and Big Tech. It’s no secret that Big Tech has often been criticized for exploiting natural resources for its AI developments. Microsoft is trying to mitigate some of that negative consensus by promising to build its own power supply for the new datacenter, independent of the public grid. The Pecos datacenter will be powered by a power plant hub, built by Chevron, with up to 2.5 gigawatts of gas-fired capacity, with potential to scale to up to 5 gigawatts. The facility will include at least seven GE Vernova turbines, with first power potentially coming online as early as late 2027 or early 2028. The power plant hub is part of an approximately $7 billion investment by Chevron, making it one of the largest dedicated energy projects tied to a single datacenter campus in the U.S. Microsoft hasn’t publicly disclosed the amount it’s investing in the new datacenter. Microsoft has also committed to implementing a closed-loop cooling system that will only require an initial water charge to operate. The company said that “the total lifecycle water use of this datacenter is only a fraction of that consumed annually by a typical fast-food restaurant.” What the press release doesn’t mention, however, is how much water the natural gas plant itself will consume, or how a 20-year fossil fuel commitment squares with the company's pledge to be carbon negative by 2030. The construction of the new datacenter should provide over 6,000 construction jobs at peak build-out, and create hundreds of operational job roles once the facility is built. Via: Reuters

    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By +DDG3595 · Posted

      A lot of uncertainty in this story. Might. Could. Maybe. The truth is we don't know what will happen to the universe in the end, or if it will end. Our own Milky Way galaxy will merge with the Andromeda galaxy in about 2.5 billion years, with our solar system as part of a new, larger cluster. I guess we'll have to and see how it goes down.

      While people can rely on text expansion, it'd be nice to be able to save prompts as aliases. Since AI chatbots need so much provided context to lessen the chance of them going off rails in their response, it'd be nice to be able to start your prompt with a command word that provides all the necessary context that you find yourself often providing. I know there are 'memory' features, including in Gemini, but I still find myself needing to tell it things in each specific conversation for it to give appropriate responses in many contexts. For example, I have it in the memory that I'm running Fedora 44 KDE Plasma 6.7 yet Gemini constantly gives me instructions for older versions. Once I remind it what I'm running, it corrects itself. This isn't something I should need to do every time I prompt it about my setup.
