How do you play Squad Deathmatch on 360?

Where you have to choose game type, ie rush or conquest, just keep pressing right and there is squad deathmatch.

Well glad to say the new patch fixed my crashes to desktop. Had a massive session last night and I really started to enjoy it. Only problem was the server was being flaky and restarting all the time.

I hate the fact that newbies like me are being owned by guys who are at much higher levels than me. I mean the top most used gun last night on the server must have been that M60. If I was truly a noob to this type of gaming I would be put off and wouldn?t play again.

I have always been against persistent unlocks, and would much prefer a game that rewards you for skill. Not the amount of hours/points you can rack up to unlock the good stuff.

That being said, I intend on logging in tonight and carrying on having fun. At the moment I am still learning the game/ropes. But with all my old fragmates from ET:QW, it has just become like the old times :rofl:

The grenade launcher is the ultimate avenger in this situation. Learn to aim and pick off targets quickly with it. When I finally got logged in after that launch fiasco I ran in to a number of 10+ rank people already.

Leveling up in BFBC2 is much for a challenge that other FPS's I've played. MW2 is so candied up and such 1-man army type game, there is no 1-man army in BFBC2.

I agree. I've found some old friends in game and we've had tons of fun.

geees its about time a company realized this with steam. Good news. Now 2K just needs to do this with Bioshock 2.

Lol...only had a few crashes before the patch.

First game after the patch, I tried to fire a mortar and it froze. :\

I just went to the folder and ran BFBC2Updater.exe.

i just bought a q9550 for this game, hopefully it improves the FPS by a nice margin...

Funny.. I was thinking of getting that exact same processor.

everything i have read on it says it's a great CPU. keeps up with the i7's and when you overclock it (which is does amazingly well on stock cooling) it surpasses them. Stock it's 2.8 ghz, you should be able to hit 3.4-3.5ghz without issues... no voltage modding is needed in most cases too.

[acnpt]

Whats PP-2000?, its an unlock in the engineer class. -- ah it's a gun.

[Spookie]

New nvidia drivers out for those who are interested.

Wait, you can do that with the Steam version? I thought the game was updated through Steam. Actually, I'm pretty sure the game is updated through Steam.

EDIT: I was right. The Steam version doesn't have "BFBC2Updater.exe".

Wouldn't be caught with a nade launcher dead - never mind playing with it. I class it as a noob weapon :p

Only thing keeping me playing this is my fragmates. Had a one trying to knife me, whipped round and nailed him in the head. Ahhhhh let the good times roll...

I've got the Q9450 @ 3.6 Ghz OC. The Q9550 should OC past 3.6 easy!

I don't supose this game has a ingame FPS display does it? Think I might have to download FRAPS, and what about screenshot taking facility - F11/F12? Or is that FRAPS too?

Hey, I'm still a noob. I haven't played any BF games since BF2. Cut me some slack. :pinch:

[w33zy]

Woot got my new videocard running HD5750 1GBDDR5.

Battlefield runs Beautiful and smooth. 1900x1020 everything on high and 4xaa.

This game is amazing!

Drop the Rcon and try medic, then come back and say you've had a good round when your hitting 10,000+ total points.

It doesn't? That sucks. What I originally did was copy the "retail" version to my steam folder so that I didn't have to download 6gigs again, and verified the files.

Nupe, steam will automatically update your game when the update gets pushed to steam. :)

Completely different class. As medic is the easiest to get high scores imo.

it is, all you gotta do is sit back in the middle of a big battle and revive people...
