Bad Company 2

Interesting point. It could be imposed by the expectation that it's not as good as before.

Either way, I'm still going with something being different with it.. but I've just about gotten acclimated with it again.

Hitches were completely solved in my normal low-ping servers.

Still getting CTDs during loading very infrequently, but this never happened before.
 
I am not 100% sure on the exact wording but it was to the effect of "You have been kicked from this game." The server was still up and running and I was unable to log back into it (getting the same error after loading screen) so I just played on another server. Not really complaining about it, just stating it was the first time I have ever been admin rage kicked.

This happened to me once. I mowed down 4 clan members who owned the server within the first 2 minutes of a Rush round. They kicked me. I imagine when this happens, the TS goes something like this:

"WTF, that dude just killed us all! I shot him like 5 times."
"Me too, emptied a clip in him, he's a fuckin' hacker!"
"Yeah." <kick player>

It's probably easier to talk like that than to say "He out-skilled us. We should practice more."
 
didn't notice any AN-94 nerf, hate what they did to my lovely noob tube but i'll admit that this is how it's supposed to be.

I hate the sniper rifle changes. They are basically all the same now and it's now nearly impossible to get 1 shot kills in normal with even the M95. I usually play hardcore so this isn't that much of a problem but range kills are much less frequent now.

They all start at 100 and drop to 50 damage at 36 meters. What's the point if they are all the same? The Gol used to do 100 to 70. The M95 used to do 100 to 79 (which is what gave it the greater damage and usefulness). Now they all do the same damage but have major drawbacks so why not just use the SV98 which now is the best rifle due to doing the same damage as Gol and M95 but having less reload time and double the magazine size?
 
They fucked up the AN-94 (maybe others) sights... the mouse sensitivity is crazy when zoomed in. Wasn't like that before. Now forced to switch sensitivity on the fly for it.

Lots of lag going on right now... I've shot people like 5 times, they run away and 5 seconds later I get a kill message for that person. Or I shoot someone with 2 clips and they just warp away to other side of them map.



Absolutely loving the new server browser, wish it was here on day 1.

That might be it!! It doesn't feel right when I scope with the ACOG, which may be giving me the impression of reduced accuracy.
 
Dunno if it was lag but I saw a teammate knife a stationary guy in the back TWICE, and nothing happened. I ran in and stabbed him twice myself and only on the 2nd time did he die. There was a blood splash for all 4 stabs between us.

I dunno if this guy was hacking in some way, but I've NEVER seen anything like that before.

The knife has been nerfed. This is confirmed by most forums I have been on. You have to be really close and get him in the front or the side. I don't get why the back is nerfed.
 
I think knives needed nerfing. The 40mm should have been left alone and the sniper rifles should all behave more differently than before, not be all the same. I think the AN94 should have been left alone as well. The M95 should be more powerful than it is with more recoil than before.

Oh well, it seems the devs will never get this stuff right.

Yea I'm not sure why every sniper rifle has the same exact stats now...
 
I don't know why the sniper rifles were nerfed and made equal in damage. It makes no sense at all. Sniper rifles were one of the few things that didn't need tweaking in the game.

Such a pointless change that removes one aspect of the game.
 
The patch blows.

AN-94 sucks now. There's something wrong with it.. damage may have been increased at a distance but it seems to be lower overall, also it just isn't as accurate.

AN-94 got BUFFED, it's minimum damage went up. So yes, they made the strongest assault rifle stronger...

40mm got nerfed to the point where you have to get a direct hit to instagib. I smacked a moving ATV with a 40mm, it blew up, the guy driving survived. What the fuck indeed. TOO weak.

Helicopters are useless, they WILL get numerous darts on them in seconds. They are a death trap.

M60 is still the best LMG

Carl is still awesome

Snipers were randomly changed for no reason despite being perfectly fine before. I only get domes anyway because I'm amazing but I have no idea why they even bothered changing the behavior? M24 was fast to bolt, GOL had no sway, M95 could damage vehicles. I don't get what was wrong with this?
 
Say what you will about MW2, the one thing they DID nail was weapon and class balance while still maintaining diversity in the available loadouts. Wish BC2 would take a lesson.
 
Quick Question.

I'm looking to sell my retail copy of the game. I've already created a profile, but have yet to install any DLC/Updates since the game first launched.

My question is, will my game's cdkey always be tied to my created profile, or will it be free from any relation to it? In other words, it will be like a new copy for the individual who may purchase it from me?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You!
 
hm...installed from dvd. game doesn't autorun, and after i activated the game online, it simply quit and didn't ask me if i wanted to play the game, create shorcuts, or anything. i had to go in through program files.

after not being able to connect to a single server tonight, i'm trying to reinstall now.

Its in the Games category in your start menu

IIRC, it's tied directly to your EA Online account. So you might not be able to sell it.

I logged into my account via eaonline, and it's not listed under my profile.

Can anyone else confirm this? I know EA is trying to eliminate used sales on games...
 
Not sure what you guys are talking about. The AN-94 is pretty bad ass to me. Patch didn't make it worse.

The kill radius for the CG is definitely a lot smaller. But for my applications, it's still as efficient.

Is this referring to normal mode? I haven't had any problem the entire day getting people with one hit in the back on hardcore servers.
 
Not sure what all this crying about the AN-94 is. Tons of people are still using it and racking up massive kills. Definitely still a powerful weapon, I was getting annihilated by it everywhere I went when trying out the guns. It might not be as good as before, I wouldn't know since I barely used it, but the same principle applies to the M60. The M60 is still a great gun just not as insane as before, but still the best LMG. Honestly the weapon hierarchy hasn't changed at all, just are now all closer to each other than before with the AN-94 edging out the rest of the assault rifles by a larger margin. Even with the tube nerf people are still using it liberally with decent results. Same can't be said for the CG though, you practically need a direct hit to kill someone.

Seems like they nerfed the warhead buff for vehicles too. Commandeering a tank isn't as easy and gratifying as it was. That or I was just playing poorly in that one game. I'm curious what this knife nerf is too, going to continue playing and check it out.

Have you played a MP round? If so you've logged into the EA servers with your EA account and the game will be permanently tied to it. If you've never played MP or signed into your EA account while ingame, it should still be ok to sell.
 

I will definitely give this a try. Sounds EXACTLY like what's been going on and I do use AVG.

Thanks!

Man, the tracer darts are friggin insane! Tag a chopper and a couple seconds later insta-kill with either CG or RPG. Nice................

They didn't mess with the NS2000 at least. Was on Arica Harbor, tagging tanks, killing them and long ranging people with the N2K.

The GOL still one shot kills at range on HC. Capped a guy with a body shot and headshotted a guy right next to him getting a 372 marksman bonus.
 
I'm in gaming heaven. ATI released the load time patch for the 4xxx series today, and then EA released an amazing path that fixed almost all the issues with the game!

I really like that they increased the speed of the repair tool. It was dangerous and slow work repairing tank damage under fire, but now it's nearly twice as fast, so I do a lot more repairs than previously.

CG is still capable of killing, but a little more difficult now.

what! only 4xxx loads fast now? I had to drop my 5770 to dx9 to get my load times below 60 seconds, which is fine except glass is no longer transparent so I can't use the stationary guns. Hmmmm

Where have you been? ATI released a hotfix just for the 5xxx series last week. The patched drivers they released today work for EVERY SINGLE DX10/11 card in ATI's lineup (hence my ecstatic post earlier).

Go get your fix here, and enjoy the DX11 lovelies :D

You people should really read the front page. That, or the ATI video card forum:

dude, I dont know about you all or if im wicked late to this party, but the latest updated did SOMETHING awesome. I noticed a HUGE leap in my frames and the server browser doesnt suck!
 
this game needs a lot of polishing. 40mm when you get a direct hit at close range it doesnt explode so the user survives. Thats a bit crap, it should be made so that if you use it under stupid reasons (i.e. point blank range) you should suffer the consequences.

And i think they could make a good change of model for the blonde soviet guy with a red cap.

this happens in reality, it has an arming timer so you don't kill yourself.
 
Anyone suffering from intermittent freezing when trying to spawn on a team member? Everytime I click enter battle it freezes for a second then resumes, sometimes it doesn't even let me in!

You know what... does the russian medic even have an outfit change for the diff environments?
Seems like he's wearing the same stuff in snow/desert/jungle or is my mind playing tricks on me since all I see is that damn red beret
 
Well got my 6th Gold star with the AN-94. So probably just the placebo effect. Dunno about the messed up sights that BDV reported.

Also, tanks are dying a whole lot quicker now that the Tracer dart has been buffed.

EDIT: They still haven't fixed the issue where the stats for the M1 Garand doesn't get loaded.
