Bad Company 2

Found out the beauty of C4 and it's vertical damage last night, tested it out today.

My personal favorite is during Arica Harbor, second section sitting in the house above A and tossing c4 out the window onto the ground above A and destroying it from there. The C4 won't destroy the wall of the house so you're covered. With a partner, the objective is taken really fast and you have someone to watch your back while you toss the c4 :D

I hate people who do that, it's pretty lame if you ask me. I always make sure to bring down the tiny hut above A for this exact reason.

As for the Vietnam expansion...how is that going to work story wise? Is B Company warping back in time? Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam: Space and Time Warlock Master Squad perhaps?

Please don't be like BF Vietnam where the stupid hippie music was always playing. So fucking annoying.

How can you say that!? :eek:

Head banging to the tunes in jeeps is what made BF Vietnam. Definitely the most fun of the series because it seemed so tongue in cheek the whole time. Loved it. :p

Interesting. I don't think I've ever seen anyone do it before and I'm an Arica Harbor whore :p

I'm with you brother; Arica is my favorite map although defending on Isla is where I've gotten most of my Ace pins on.

Also, I'm hooked on C4 now. Went platinum on it but can't stop using it. I need to try that one out on Arica objective A. second set. And in regard to fochkoph's disdain for that tactic, it's no different than someone using Gustavs on objectives or tank shells. At least this guy's near the objective and can be killed.

I took out Objective Bravo last night on 1st set on Nelson Bay by bringing down the entire house. I was recon w/2x # of explosives and explosive damage upgrade. I know you can bring down 2 story houses with as little as 4 (practiced in empty server) but I used all 6 because I knew someone was looking for me. I even got the Destruction 2.0 kill when the guy ran in right before it collapsed.

Considering one is a legitimate tactic and the other borderline exploit, I guess you haven't seen it in action yet. Last I checked the effects of C4 isn't designed to transfer damage through floors, only walls, and this is exactly what people have been doing. Unless, of course, I'm wrong then I still consider it a bit ridiculous. Being able to damage something protected behind a completely solid and unbreakable object.

Hell, at least C4 isn't as obnoxious as RDX-whores are in 2142.
 
Well SecuROM has managed to dick me over. I attempt to launch BC2 and I get

"A required security module cannot be activated.
This program cannot be executed (9000)"

I wiped the SecuROM folder in hopes that it would just rebuild the information but that is a no go for me. Fucking SecuROM, and fuck me for actually purchasing the damn game.

EDIT: Update, reinstalled SecuROM seems to have rectified the problem.. for now

Sorry man. I thought he was talking about throwing it from the building down to the street right in front of the garage and getting splash damage. I didn't know it was transferring down through. That's messed up and definitely needs patched.

I was thinking 'big deal; Viet Nam? We already have jungle maps.' Now if you had claymores and booby traps that might be fun.
 
I think if they bring back a lot from BF:V it could be cool.

That lady talking sounds identical to an audio clip from BF:V I remember hearing... that and if they add planes too... and maybe 64 players...

That would be an epic expansion though...
 
Shit. As dirty as it seems to have an expansion out so soon, if it's even half as amazing as BF:V was I'm buying it, no questions. It seems to be what they're going for at least, judging by the trailer. FUCK. If only I wasn't destitute.
 
I think BC2 is my favorite BF game so far... but I liked 2142 and Vietnam a lot... never was much of a fan of 1942 and BF2.

You're not alone. It was definitely my fave, despite its tackiness. I think that's kinda what made it in a way; forced you to take it less seriously and enjoy it. The music playing left right and centre didn't hurt either. Man, they've gotta bring that back. It's a deal breaker for me.

Nothing made me giggling like a girl more than playing "I fought the Law" in a jeep and circling round a US flag till someone L.A.W.'d me for irony's sake. :p

Unfortunately I have a feeling they won't be able to justify the music licensing costs due to it just being an expansion. I might have to go start a pre-emptive petition or something...

thank god, i hated how fast the tracers go. I liked them at launch, took some forthought to hit a heli with them. hopefully now heli's have a real chance to survive for more than 5 minutes lol.

Right now I just see people ram the helis and jump from them ASAP. Those that stay up don't do so for long.
 
5 minutes?!!? thats like half a round. i dont think many last that long to begin with....

but regardless...100ms nurf is a plus.

Hahaha, adding more stuff before they even get the patch working. Next we're gonna hear that the tracer nerf broke it and we'll be waiting a few more weeks :p

Sigh, I sound a bit ungrateful again...
 
BTW is it me or does it seem like once you get gold tags you get coughin them up left and right. I used to rarely get knifed and now it's a daily happening/
 
600+ hours of playing time, platin with almost everthing, platin with the quad bike!!!!!!!!
114 kills/1 death
179/2
202/6
329/17

 
No, it's platinum with light vehicles... they combine the stars for vehicles all into the same category.

So if you get 500 kills (platinum) with 1 tank, you get platinum with every tank.

Still ridiculous... I'm getting bored trying to get gold with every weapon -_-
 
woot! Just got Elite Melee!
