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.

Green Eye, I will finally be free to play next week! We need to squad up!

Yeah absolutely no doubt buddy I am back into this game with massive enthusiasm and even more so now that I have ordered my turtle beaches and i know how gorgeous the sounds are in BFBC2. Cant wait! :D

    • 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.
