Bad Company 2

I do this from time to time. I'll come up behind them and just off a bunch of them. There will sometimes be 3 to 10 guys just not paying any attention it seems. By the time they realize what's happened I've already taken out a good portion of their team.

Haha :) Exactly :)

For example in Valparasio there is a light tower that is good sniping place. Whenever I go there to do some snipers knifing, my steps inside the tower sounds like thunder but snipers do not pay attention. I always think like WTF??? Are they too busy with killing and do not care about their own lifes?
 
I really hope whatever BF title comes after this doesn't end up resembling BC2. I've tried to be patient but something feels off, and has for some time (almost to rank 13). It's insane what you can do with an LMG in this game. I understand DICE weren't looking to displace ARMA, but the bullshit boarding/egress times for vehicles mean that you can almost never tag one with its occupants still inside. Blown sand/snow totally destroy their respective maps for me. I can't see anything past a few dozen yards.

I generally enjoy the game for the much more numerous positive points that I've omitted, but the game is far from perfect, imo.

It never ceases to amaze me how fixated some people are when sniping. Can't they hear! I knifed three snipers in a row one after the next. They couldn't have been three feet apart. Really satisfying.

They seem to be alright at hearing me when I try to stab them in the back of the head and it fails a few times. Been point-blank no-scoped quite alot because of that.

Your advice worked out well for me last night only had one round of sub 1.00 KD. Thanks!

Sweet, I did terrible yesterday. I got dropped from the game I was playing with you, then kept joining servers to continue my bad luck streak. It seemed like I couldn't spawn anywhere without immediately getting shot/knifed. Literally.

I got dropped as well, I think the server died. I love getting jacked immediately after spawning especially by a tank.

do the AT mines trigger if infantry walk over / near them? Whats the proximity?

I'm wondering if spamming these is at all effective vs infantry compared to packing the gustav or rpg...

I like using tanks but only spawn with them when i KNOW its about to be of a strategic advantage

anyone know? :(

You would have to manually shoot them to blow them up. CG is the best anti-infantry available. If enemies could set off mines then I'd be laying them down non-stop and watching bodies fly 1000 feet into the air :D. AT Mines provide some of the best moments in BC2. If I'm on a quad and I spot an enemy mine; I'll usually back up and then run over it as fast as I can just to see an awesome death.
 
Oh man that gives me a good idea, dual nades, and stacks of at mines in conveinent locations where the attackers push :)
 
When laid correctly the mines can be ridiculously effective. I was playing Arica harbor a few days ago and I watched as 3 tanks ran over mines, one after another. They see their buddy get blown up on the main road and go on the side only to get blown up themselves. :D
 
i love using the AT mines. hate it when i'm laying them on Arica Harbor, dancing around furiously avoiding sniper fire, only to watch some random enemy infantry run up and clear them by shooting them. grrr

No, infantry do not set off the mines, just like their RL counterparts they require a certain amount of pressure (ie. tank driving by) to detonate. They also do not detonate upon small arms fire except for RPG's of any kind or high caliber sniper rifles, oh and grenades too I think.

In the game they do, I blow them up all the time with assault rifles.

How are the new maps? Haven't had a chance to play for a couple days.
 
Still using my trusty G5 but occassionally the thumb button and wheel button don't work. Anyone else have any issues with Logitech Setpoint not registering BC2?

Gets pretty frustrating going up to knife someone, press the thumb button and nothing. Wheel button, nothing. So no pistol, no knife sometimes. I have to minimize the game, pull up Setpoint, remove BC2 from the advanced game detection tab, then refind it. Christ, that's annoying.

I've bound knife to a second button (C) to avoid the issue that you've just mentioned.
 
I'm growing to love the AEK-971. Hated it in the beta but for some reason it's working for me now.

I knifed an AT mine and had it kill me. Game registered it as a suicide, wasn't even my mine.
 
What the hell? I have crashed to desktop, lost connection, or straight up had BC2 freeze in EVERY single match I've played tonight.

Interesting. I guess that narrows down the case on mines. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I've never seen mines detonate from my assault rifle shots but they may have been friendly. I wonder if FF plays a part in whether or not you can detonate friendly mines. They need to make indicators or something for friendly mines cause sometimes I see some out in the field in Conquest and immediately become skittish.
 
Well I'm pleased. The 10.3b Preview drivers did indeed fix the water/glass flickering issues for me in this game.

The performance is at least as good as what I was getting before that. :cool:
 
I've had two game freezes tonight even though I've never locked up before since beta. They must've borked something.

Friendly mines and C4 are indicated on your minimap as a white circle with four bars sticking out. Or you can spot them with Q and listen to the audio cue.
 
Does anyone know how to get the voices to ALL be in English?

I hate being on the Russian side and not knowing what your teammates are calling out. If a guy spots a tank and hits the 'Q' button, I don't have a clue as to what is coming my way. In BF2 there was a box you had to check in the audio section. I can't find anything like that in BFBC2. Annoying as hell...

no there isnt.. ya just have to guess.. usually the tone of voice tells you what it is.. if its really loud usually its a tank or a sniper.. but just listen to it and you can usually memorize what each one means after a few rounds..
 
There is.. The ingame setting for language localization is checked by default, but it doesn't work, you have to do it in the .ini file, I'm not exactly sure which option it is, but I've read about it on other forums, and my buddy has done it. It will make them speak english but with a russian accent.
 
New rush map is awesome, but a bit unbalanced. Attackers have way more advantage.

My Documents>BFBC2>GameSettings.ini

Change "OriginalVOForEnemyTeam=1" to "OriginalVOForEnemyTeam=0".
 
went from ATI 10.2 to 10.3b last night (installed drivers overtop of old ones). played 3 rounds, 1 on one server, 2 on a different server. during the 3rd round i got the white screen of death where i could hear sounds, hear myself fire, but couldn't see anything. if i hit ESC i could see the BFBC2 mouse pointer but nothing else, eventually was able to taskkill the process and get out..

has anyone had this issue with 10.3x? i did a clean uninstall last night, driver sweeper, and reinstall of 10.3b but haven't had time to go back and try again, hopefully it's ok tonight.
