official Battlefield: Bad Company 2

[ObiWanToby]

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.

One thing that really annoys the hell out of me about this game is how difficult it can be move around the environment and take cover. The character movement is just so clunky.

[jonnyH]

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.

Wow! I bought this on the steam sale for pc, and got Vietnam also for like 5$. I tried playing this and man do I suck. Very hard to get used to the online, but when you have a great battle going, this game delivers.

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!

I need to play with you guys some more.

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)

Hastings has been unlocked for PC ;)

[Massiveterra]

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.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

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.

[trag3dy]

Hastings seems like a fun map, pretty fairly balanced for assault and defense in rush and same goes for both sides on conquest. I like it.

And I wish more people paid attention. I drop ammo boxes or med kits like no tomorrow.
