Official Bad Company 2 thread - no beta talk here!

At least you can join a server...every time I try to join, I crash to desktop :hmph:

$50 down the drain...
 
Basically any game that is really popular will have people complaining about balance issues. I still stand firm on my stance that recon has far too much power considering their ability to take out infantry effectively from any range and armor as well as an engineer. Not to mention their camo is really effective, especially in jungle maps. The other day I was sitting on a little hill with some trees and brush around me, basically in plain view for about 300 yards and half a dozen people ran right by me. I waited for the last one and then ran behind and had a knifing party.

All other classes have basic weaknesses. Engineers are easy dispatched by assault and recon with range. Medics can't really do anything vs vehicles are extreme range Recon. Assault can be beaten close quarters and/or extended range depending on what weapon they use.

I mean I think the idea was to have recon be weak at close range, but pistols (like the M1911) are powerhouses from close range to a fair distance and you can scope and descope fast enough to put off a close range shot with a little finessse.
 
Its because its so easy to kill people with the sniper rifle, it show you the bullet trajectory and everything, and well with a mouse its a piece of piss. I'm playing it on the 360 however, where it is harder to aim, so the recon isn't as effective, still my favorite class though, I tend to use engineer for close quarters.

And yeh on that note I have finally played it, ran too slow on my PC so purchased it for the 360 instead and its an absolute blast. Played it for hours without any connection problems, you can usually connect to a map within 20 seconds, you never kicked or anything. Definitely beats playing it on low graphics with a crap FPS on the PC anyway :D
 
Whoever thought the M60 was a good idea needs to eat shit. The game is now nothing but medics using that piece of shit.

PATCH 5.1Q2W34:

-Added an extra blackhawk to Valparaiso and Isla Innocentes
-Increased ammo capacity for Assault class 40MMGL. This stacks with the extra ammo specialization
-Recon class now has specialization that completely negates bullet drop
-M60 reload time decreased
-Increased the range for the autoaim lunge of the knife
-Fuck all y'all niggas

Engineers should have had repair kit and C4. Assault class should have had rockets and machine guns. medics should have had something else like a quick airlift to safety for healing or something cool. this shit doesn't follow the way the real army works. snipers should have the mortar strikes still but lets turn it down a bit.

thats just my perspective of how it should be.
 
Lol real army in a video game.

Also, I'm pissed that I deleted this, but time to make fun of Xev.

It went something like

Xev: DAMNIT PITZ YOU RAPED US TOO HARD
Pitz: I'm awesome.
Xev: Cause you were medic or Assault.
Pitz: Nope, Engineer.
Xev: SHIT!

I do agree the M60 is gay.
 
Playing today I noticed a TON more m60s and their corresponding medics. The fun part was... about 10 minutes ago there was this group of medics (I think three) that kept defibing each other and I kept picking them off, then after about 5 kills I loaded up a 40mm grenade and blew all three of them away. Greatest way to get eight kills ever.
 
Anyone else not able to add favorite servers?

It's pretty annoying.
 
Servers will be down today and tomorrow for hardware upgrade. How many times do they have to do this till they get it right? For ****s sake EA, stop playing around with dog turds and do it RIGHT this time.
 
Oh yeah, the few days I actually have to play.

Pffft.

Fellers:

I have BC2, but my graphics card (GTX260) is busted after a nasty PSU failure zap and I can't play it with my craptastic onboard mobo graphics. Talk about ****ing torture.

So they decided to ruin my weekend? Why don't they upgrade in midweek when most people are at school/work, god damn it?
Although I'd be happy if this fixes the connection problems forever.

I do believe the first line wasn't as exaggerated as it is here.
Also yeah you are a better BC2 player, whateverrrr you little shit.

i was racking up the kills and my ps3 froze but it was an awesome game. i love stealing tanks. run around enough times, they get out of it because of frustration and then you steal it from them and have someone repair it.

PC or go home.

Also, if I get in a tank I'm an engineer most of the time so I get out to repair, if an enemy steals it while I repair it, I blow it away.
 
Is there any way to get the chopper controls the same as they were in BF2? Twixx and I stole a chopper on Valdez earlier and we had a good 5 min run until I crashed it into the ground.
 
I'm still trying to find my god damn joystick.

With that I'll rock the house.

I do that when my teammates steal it too. ****ers

I should really get my joystick for this game too. I always stay away from flying because I absolutely suck at flying with a mouse. Even in BF2 i couldnt do it. But when I had my joystick, and was all fhwoosh freeeww... pew pew pew

Joystick flying is the only way to go. Especially for a helicopter. I have NO idea why the UAV controls are the inverse of the helicopter. It makes aiming the damn thing a huge chore. I don't use it enough to really try and figure out a better way to do it. I usually only get one or two kills before I get blasted out the sky.

USE UAV TO SPOT

USE THE MISSILE ON LIGHT TANKS OR HEAVILY DEFENDED BUILDINGS

UAV IS MAINLY FOR SPOTTING, STAY HIGH IN THE AIR
 
In BF2 I was a pro heli pilot with the mouse. Couldn't do it with the joystick for my life.
 
Why would you ever fly with the mouse? Use WASD + arrows, much easier.
 
I am so incredibly confused by this:
"The EA servers will be unavailable on Saturday 13th March at 8:00GMT/9:00 CET:12:00 (midnight) PST to install extra hardware to improve your online experience. For more info and to see some crazy Battlefield Bad Company 2 online stats please visit the Battlefield Blog: "

More specifically this line: 8:00GMT/9:00 CET:12:00 (midnight) PST

Ok so, from my understanding, the servers will be down at:
8:00 GMT
9:00 CET
12:00 PST

Is that what its saying? Im so ****ing confused, the way the write it doesnt make any sense. 8:00GMT/9:00 CET:12:00, why the slash between GMT and 9:00, but then a space between 9:00 and CET, and why a : between CET and 12:00.

ahhhh brain explodes.
 
Goodness, what is with the random freezing.
