official Battlefield: Bad Company 2

[Austen Boshtin]

Anyone having trouble on xbox live joining multiplayer matches? Me and a mate keep getting 'We could't find any games, please try again' message on both BC2 and Vietnam.

Even went away for an hour and played something else but its still the same.

[Bloodwork]

Not having any problems joining games with Vietnam

What the **** is this ****. 6 different games in a row just being straight steamrolled :angry:

Hey guys i have a couple of questions...

i was a big time battlefield 2 for PC player when it came out until i moved on to console (Xbox 360), now i just got BC2 the other day, the "Ultimate Edition" and was wondering, i downloaded an update for it, i think the update was 1.7GB is that the normal size for that update?

and also, i see a bunch of map packs in the market, is there any map from the old Battlefield 2 in any of these packs?

thanks

[Singh400]

1.7GB will include the Vietnam maps and such.

[Snakehn]

1.7GB will include the Vietnam maps and such.

even if i don't have vietnam?

[trag3dy]

Yep. They said it was easier to do that way for some reason, due to their really ****ty patch updating system.

[Singh400]

even if i don't have vietnam?

Yes, even if you don't have Vietnam.

I know, I wish they'd go back to grouping your squad members exclusively. They claimed that made the game imbalanced, I'd rather lose with people I know.

Have been using F2000 for a bit and I have to say - I take my words about it being a useless piece of **** back. After the latest improvements it's pretty decent actually and plays like an SMG. Time to plat it I guess!

Really? I always thought it was the worst gun in the game. The rate of fire is insanely high.

I quite like the F2000. The Rate of Fire is one of the appeals of it for me. It doesn't have much by way of power, but the noise it makes and the rate it shreds enemies at, you can't fault it. If you're using it with the ACOG Scope or the iron sights, it is a truly terrible gun. It is a gun I would not ask anyone to use with either of those. I know the iron sight is bearable, but if you're going to use the F2000, it's better with a Red Dot Sight - personally, the muzzle flash always throws me off. If you think it's good for RoF, you'll love the MG3... seriously. 'Burst' firing the MG3 is spraying with any other LMG. That gun never gets old for me - the rate of fire is utterly devastating and it just feels good to fire that thing.

I play Battlefield: Bad Company 2 quite a lot, actually. It's one of the few games I play online where I can feel like part of a team - Call of Duty is more of a 'self-serving' title, if that makes sense. You're constantly encouraged to look out for yourself over anyone else by Killstreak Rewards and the like. I love playing Call of Duty as well, but it's more as a fast-paced experience than as a team-based shooter. Battlefield excels when you have friends playing with you, but it's a great game in any case. While I play it a lot, I didn't play it for quite some time. I think I'm around Rank 29 or so though. Some of the Badges and Pins are going to be very helpful for ranking up from here on.

Started multiplayer on the 360 knowing that the play style was completely different than CoD but wow, I am getting destroyed lol. Going to take alot of practice but I'm much happier with Battlefield so far.

My biggest suggestion is to start playing with someone in a squad that could show you the ropes of the game.

A role I would have no problem filling there buddy just add me : MasterGreenEye

oh and Terra off topic that album (Y) x2

F2000 is crap. It isn't even a sharp stick...

[gkl]

It's not amazing, sure, but it's not as bad as it used to be. It works well when spraying and praying.

Got our second clan match tonight :D

So, I've only got about 3 hours of time logged in BFBC2 multiplayer, but I had an awesome moment yesterday that I had to share.

I'll preface this by saying that up to this point, I'm still not even at level 1 yet, and I had been getting destroyed, trying out the assault and medic kits mostly.

I joined a conquest game on Heavy Metal, equipped the recon kit and joined a squad that consisted of another recon and a medic. We were situated on the mountain ridge that runs along the southwest (assuming 'up' on the map is north). After a minute or two of guarding the Bravo base, I ventured farther south to take cover under some trees and get a better view of Charlie base. As I get close to the top of the ridge, I spot an enemy sniper using the cover I wanted. I stop for a second and line up a nice headshot.

I figure he's going to know I was close, and he's gonna attempt to snipe me from his respawn point, so I decide to get the hell out of there and head back to my squad. I'm running along the hillside when I see him coming right for me in a vehicle (whatever car vehicle doesn't have a gunner seat). He tries to run me over, but just misses. As he pulls a u-turn, I pull out the c4 and drop a brick in front of me. I start walking backwards, keeping the c4 between him and me. He guns it for me again and I detonate the c4 right as he goes over it. the explosion throws the car over my head, destroying both him and his vehicle.

I was just as excited over the circumstances as I was over the fact that I earned 140 points in about 30 seconds. It was enough to finally unlock the motion radar 'orb'.

Some of the exploding vehicle moments, in multiplayer, provide some of the best online gaming moments, IMO. I, once, had a vehicle blow up and spiral right over my head. I had to run towards it to get under it because it would have hit me if I stayed put. I was stunned lol

That's awesome

I haven't played much on PC lately due to me having a '08 MacBook Pro and my wife insists I don't need a new computer until at least next winter (bah what does she know?!). Kind of a bummer since I got the game during the Steam sale and what I initially played was a lot more fun and better feeling than the hours I put through on 360. I think I might still go back to 360 and get Vietnam, not sure yet. It sounds to me like BC2 is going to be good enough now to at least get to BF3.

Wow, haha.

I agree to the Nth degree. I once had 2 tanks explode around me simultaneously with rockets zipping by my head. Sometimes, it's enough to give you a nice adrenaline rush. :p

Indeed, this game has the best explosions of any game I've played. On Africa Habour, first set of objectives. A jeep was headed towards me, I had no chance of escaping. But what I didn't know that a team mate had laden the entrance with mines. So about 5 metres away from the the car explodes in a fantastic fashion, and proceeds to flip and fly over me, landing on it's roof behind me. That was so epic.

[trag3dy]

I've had a similar moment also at the same place on Arica. I was defending and an enemy was cruising up the middle into the main entrance in a hummer. He was aiming for me, but luckily I had my rpg-7 out and shot him point blank sending the hummer flipping over my head. Those moments are the best. :woot:

[Singh400]

Got our second clan match tonight :D

We won again, against 3rd in the ladder! :D

We defended first, they managed to get 3 MCOMs:-

Then we attacked, we managed to get all the MCOMs (6 altogether):-

[Singh400]

Easily the best BC2 video I've seen. Shown some real skill, and some brilliant editing. The effect at 06:32 was astounding - the editing and effects in general were amazing.

[gkl]

@Singh400

Good job.

And that's a truly great montage. It's not as fun as R3claimed's Hornet vids and a few minutes too long, but the editing and post-processing is top notch. As are his skills.

Also, platinumed the F2000 today and I stand by what I said - it's not a bad rifle at all. Hell, so far it's one of my fastest platinums.
