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.

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

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

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...

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 laugh.gif

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.

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.

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:

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.

    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By ExecutiveFunction404 · Posted

      This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
