official Battlefield: Bad Company 2

I don't think class restrictions are the solution. Because then you will have people in their own locked squad so they can switch to whatever they want whenever they want. It will discourage team play.

Rambo medics and cg spamming engineers are really starting to get old. The thing that bugs me about this game the most is that those are the only 2 classes you need and it's GG game over.

I just got out of a game where literally, it was about 50/50 medic engineers on opposite team. And they all have to say that we got owned/raped by their no talent skill less asses. I guess they honestly think they're good at the game playing only those 2 classes? It's really frustrating to say the least. It's just an endless barrage of carl gustav spam with revives whenever someone is killed.

CG needs a set up time and medic revive needs a longer cool down. That's the only way to fix it, imo. 2-3 seconds on the cg and 10+ seconds for the revive.

it's true, the assault guys and snipers are definitely diminishing in numbers... effin m60 is a stupid cheap gun now.

It amazes me how many people don't see it as a problem. They say if you can't beat them join them. Well I can beat them. The problem is that there is more than 1 person on the opposite team. I can kill 3-4 a life and it doesn't matter because the other 5 or 6 medics will come along and revive them.

screw joining'em. just killem. I do wish my m16 was as strong before the update.

I have definitely noticed an increase in the amount of engineers lately. I don't even know why. Maybe it's like trag3dy said and people are just giving in and joining the crowd. There used to be an equal number of assault and engineers on the servers I play in, but now the engineers outnumber the assault players by quite a bit.

On the bright side, I've been racking up a lot more resupply points now. I was in a squad with all engineers (with me as assault) and they kept running out of ammo, lol. :)

anyone else plays this on the 360?

Yup, I do as well. I think the 360 has the largest online population.

No doubt about that, but it seems PC players have the most community presence.

Early on, this was surprising too.

DICE associate producer Barrie Tingle has revealed that at the moment, during the week of the game's retail release, more people are playing the PC version of the game than are playing the 360 or PS3 editions (though not as many as both combined).

I really wonder how it is now. 360 still seems saturated with MW2 and Halo.

^ i don't care what anyone says. FPS belong on PC

and is anyone else stats not updating via http://bfbc2.statsverse.com ?

[Hedon]

For me, FPS = Xbox :)

It updated for me as soon as I went to the site. It says next update in 6 hours now.

I saw my first rank 50 player last night. I can't imagine how long he must have played to get it.. he certainly wasn't that good.

[Razorwing]

Yup I play on 360 quite a bit.

nice.. can I add you? oh wait.. god damn time zone difference. :crazy:

Hey mind I add you to XBL? we can play.

If any xbox 360 players want a code for the DLC pm me and I'll send it to you. You can get codes at Taco Bell if you order a drink from there. :laugh:

It doesn't list BC2 but I'm sure it'll work just fine.

They do. Got one of mine that way.

Why people still prefer aiming with a lousy controller compared to a keyboard and my highly accurate Razer gaming mouse, I still can't understand

That is the way I felt about keyboard/mice. Hated them for as long as I was a PC gamer. I still game PC (for PC only games), but love using a controller.

[Singh400]

I have a confession to make. I just got my first gold star on the 40mm grenade launcher :( I am officially a noob. To be fair I have only started using it after they nerfed it. But it is great for softening up huge crowds of baddies.

Also got my 5 days online badge (which is kinda of sad, I must have something else to do!) and my platinum star on the XM8 Prototype (Y)

while a mouse might be much more accurate, I find a controller so much more comfortable to play with. I can coordinate very well in fps.

eh, i got four of those...

[deuz]

after the patch...knifing is really really bad......i nearly rage quit a few times from missing at point blank....

i sneak up behind them and knife...he makes the motion but no kill, do it a few more times...nothing.....then the other guy gets wise and kills me =\

I have platinum with the 40mm grenade launcher. But but but but, I also have platinum with the XM8, M416, An-94, and M16, and 8 gold stars going on 9 with the AUG. It's justified. :whistle:

I really didn't go out of my way to get it though, it only requires 500 kills which really isn't that much. I'm not trying to brag, I just think it's not something you should worry about. If you use it for it's intended purposes there's no problem.

Yeah, knifing is really messed up. I've missed out on a good 50+ kills now because of how messed up it is.

But..it's like if it takes you 3 seconds to aim the crosshair to an enemy using the joystick, I can do it in a blink of an eye with a mouse :D Oh well, never mind lol I think this debate is never ending anyway

[LingeringSoul]

I also have four golds with the noob tube :). Those were all attained before the patch though. I haven't been getting many 40mm kills post-patch, so I'm not sure if I'll ever make it to platinum now.

Indeed. It has reached the point where I'll just shoot somebody when I see them with their back turned instead of going for the knife. I'll knife in the situations where it's the best option (clip is dry, enemy is within striking distance), but I don't really go for "humiliation kills" anymore. At least not until they fix the knife.

[trag3dy]

On a different note, the 40mm shotgun is full of fail. I shot someone with it, not once, but twice, got a hit marker both times and they still managed to kill me. I see their health in the death screen...yeah, they were at 49% health. This was from 10-15 feet maybe. Shot a different person with it from the back, again from 10-15 feet away, again got a hit marker and no kill.

Why on earth did they nerf this weapon? I really have no idea.

controller does have it's advantage. like the fact you can just lay back and chill with a remote. can't do that with a keyboard/mouse
