Bad Company 2

i have recently been using assualt class with lightweight to get behind enemy lines. been whoring with the noob tube like crazy and holy gawd is it overpowered. Its pretty much all I do with that class, noob tube and knife. which is fine because people rage so hard, and when they do they get sloppy and allow me to get more kills :)

No, it isn't over powered. 40mm HE grenades do a ton of damage in real life. It is games like MW1&2 that "under power" it.
 
I find it hilarious that the chat has a filter, and yet you hear the soldiers screaming profanity all the time.
 
I never noticed that text chat had filters. I don't talk much.

imo having the assualt class with unlimited noob tubes is overpowered. that being said would i change it? no. defending on rush I'll get 20+ kills with just the noob tube, and holy crap do people rage, and I love it.

see an enemy, use the i win button, its pretty awesome.


also my buddy plays a medic alot and we pretty much dominate most servers we are on.

Yep. Pretty stupid too. The in game dialogue has constant swearing. "Defend this fucking thing!" etc. Yet, when you type in game, it filters it out. I got threatened last night to get kicked because I was "swearing", when, in reality, it was merely sending symbols in game. But that was still considered swearing..

i agree, just change servers. it's annoying when you have a team full of recon's and all they do i sit on a hill, not spotting, not calling mortar rounds at enemy vehicles, and just farming kills. your team never blows the first set of m-com's and you check the scoreboard and you've got 12 guys with 5:1 K/D ratios but a low overall score because all they're doing is sniping.

when im recon i will have a massive score 80% of the time because i'll land those nice headshots. getting 200-300 point headshots is pretty common, so i'll be 10 and 0 with a 1500 score and the next guy is 8 and 4 and have 600.
 
The best thing about this game other then playing it is when you hear a distant soldier yell

"OH GAWD IT HURTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"



lol it sounds funny for some reason

I haven't tried it this morning, and haven't had any crashes yet.

Although, I did get back into a saved game yesterday after exiting out for a bit (the part directly after driving the tank), and suddenly my NPCs weren't there. The other soldiers were there, the tangos were there, but Sarge, Sweets and Hags never materialized, even after closing all the way out and going back in. I finished the level, and although their parts were spoken in the cutscene that followed, their models were not present. Fortunately, upon the loading of the next level, they returned.

Any errors in your event log? Reboot? I don't have any suggestions right off hand.

Yeah I caught that too. Additionally I love it when the redneck sounding soldier voice says "Take that shit motherfucker." or "How about that shit?"
 
Anyone experience the crash with the error from ati stating "Display port link failure" ? I got the steam version but this crash causes a grey screen then right to the desktop.

I got the latest 10.2 cat drivers.

Any suggestions? I tried running it in admin mode with the short cut , updated PB fully and even disabled my other monitor incase that was casuing the issue.

I've got a 5870 btw as well , everything is stock.
 
BFBC2 is no Battlefield. After 2 hours gameplay in BC2 I need a rest. In BF2 or BF2142 I can play 10 hours in a row without a problem.

Why do you need to rest after playing BFBC2? Too intense for you? ;)
 
I find myself always playing Rush and usually Port Valdez or Arica Harbor. It's weird because the beta maps were these 2 for the PS3 and PC and ironically they're the best maps IMO. That aside, sometimes i'll go a full map rotation in Rush.
 
I can't stand the white pass map. It looks sub-par compared to the rest of them. I just didn't enjoy it very much either.

probably in frustration because of the lack of any actual thought from the other players other than to run around with their finger on the trigger until someone dies.
 
I was in a room last night that seemed pretty well coordinated. Attacking and Defending on Conquest, the teamwork--or at least, team grouping--was working out pretty well.

Especially on defend, we actually held out and won. I don't remember the map, it's a snow one with many trees at night, but we lost two M-Coms and held the last two for a long time before losing one. There is a fork in the road leading to the last two; I and a couple other guys posted up in the land between the fork and were actually able to divide our support between the two M-Coms, diverting our fire to the direction needed. There was a rock cropping that did a good job of hiding me from view most of the time. It was pretty cool, and to my right and left the team was equally divided in defense of the two remaining stations.

I hope I continue to see servers with teamplay like this.

I had that same problem with the three guys disappearing and being replaced with regular grunts. I went through the rest of the mission and they ended up coming back. Same mission too.
 
I've found that the whole teammate issue varies from game to game. Sometimes you get an excellent team that works well together. I tend to just spawn off them and support them in doing whatever they were doing. If I see something I know needs to be done, I just do it. It works well for the most part, but every now and again I run into some serious problems. Earlier I was playing a match and I ran out of rifle rounds, 40mm grenades, and I was down to two rounds in my M1911A1. I was trying to find ammunition and even said as much. I would walk right up to support guys and they never tossed me any ammunition. Eventually the match ended (we won) and I had stayed alive for what seemed like an eternity, so no harm done. A little team work would have made that last part of the match much more enjoyable.

It also pisses me off when people take the vehicles that can't drive, or can't fly. They just wreck the vehicles and get them destroyed. Sometimes VERY quickly. They'll even spawn camp at the vehicles and take them out again effectively wasting resources. Their spawn camping ensures that no one who can use them gets them, and worse yet they aren't racking up kills or helping the team in any way. All they do is get themselves killed (usually with the vehicles) and waste tickets. It would be better if people could just accept that they aren't good Battlefield pilots and allow those of us who are to actually make a difference with that equipment.

If you can't drive a tank DON'T. If you can't fly an aircraft DON'T. It is as simple as that.

Yeah, I came across many medics willing to revive me, but few assaults willing to toss down ammo (assaults do that, correct?). I was playing Medic class and was revived a couple times, enough that I ran out of ammo on my RPD. I was a little panicked, we were defending and down to the last station. I pulled out my 1911 and managed to down a tango at about 30-40 yards in about three or four shots. Okay, so he wasn't looking my way and he pretty much stood still, but I was pretty proud.

I was not happy, however, that I couldn't get a friggin' resupply to make the whole encounter unnecessary!

My hope is, that once the lone wolves and twitch players get bored with the 'slow' gameplay, many of the Rambo types will just go back to MW2, and perhaps team quality will improve. Then again, maybe it won't.

As a veteran BF tanker this can be a fine line... you can easily get pinned down by a few well placed engineers, at which time it's fine to stay back and take pot shots. But at some point you need to hit the line hard, enough at least to allow your infantry to get through the bottleneck. Basically if a rampaging tank behind enemy lines can draw 1/4 or 1/3 the other teams attention then that can be enough for infantry to make a healthy push.

If it works you've just won the next stage/flag, if not you're just another noob in a tank.

I guess I haven't played Rush yet but you are limited to 2 40mm grenades everytime you spawn as an assault class. I don't consider this "unlimited" or overpowering. Especially with fairly good physics in the game in regard to bullet/projectile drop.
 
I always hook up as many ammo drops as I can, I think some folks just need time to adjust from MW2 tactics to playing as a team. I've found a couple fantastic medics out there that I feed as much ammo as I can.

So had you no unlocked your resupply box yet? Because you ran out of ammo on the class that can resupply itself... :confused:

Unlimited meaning us assaults can resupply ourselves. IMO not overpowered or unbalancing either

I didn't know assault could resupply itself. They couldn't in previous games. You needed a support guy for that.
 
its a delicate eco system, the ideal team consists of one from each class. medics keep everyone alive, assault gets objectives done and keeps people stocked on ammo, engineers keep armor away and recon can either support the assaulter or be completely useless. with this in mind there should be one recon per squad. lone wolf bullshit doesn't work.

I gues it si too intensive :) I like to be squad leader in Battlefield and lead my squad to win without engaging too much myself into the battle. In BC2 squads don't mean more then handy spawn points. And it is sad.

yeah assualt gets the ammo box this round, but you have to unlock it. that being said you only need like 1200 points to get it.

lol! as he goes on about how not to drive a tank if you a newb. nice one. cant learn if you dont try.
Click to expand...

people should learn but if your bad enough that your hindering your team enough to make the difference between winning and losing the match, then dont do it. leave it to the vets or people that are comfortable driving.

if you need practice driving and flying there are plenty of empty servers that you can go and fuck around in and get good enough so at least your not screwing over your team.
 
does the uav have machine gun on it? or is that an upgrade? i know how to fire missle but thought i saw a video where it had a machine gun to.
 
It is really irritting to see such important resources wasted, but theres no other way to learn so it's a tough one really. I'd appreciate it if people who blatently cannot fly would join some empty servers and learn there first :)
 
I hate people wasting aircraft and tanks, but it is a hard one to call. I'm fairly competent, up to my 9th gold star in the armour, but every so often I'll meet another APC head-on and go from 100 to dead in one shot. The armour does seem to have some "sweet spots" that deal massive damage if hit just right, I've taken some T-90s down in two RPGs and so on.

That said, it's fairly clear when it's being driven by an invalid. The people that just charge to the nearest point and then sit under a mortar strike, or take off with you in the gunner seat, spend five minutes pointing the nose at the ground and then bleat at you for not taking down the enemy helicopter are inexcusably oblivious. That's not a case of practice, it's a case of being a spastic. I'm fine with newcomers, spend almost as much time explaining things to people that ask as I do playing. The people that just blunder headlong into a tree are the ones that need to catch fire.

Sound like a construction crew foreman.
 
On a side note, so far one of my best games.
