Poll: ****Official Battlefield Bad Company 2 Thread*****

[Tefal]

Yes I am aware of squad spawning not being something new I started pc gaming in 1997.

Squad spawning isn't as bad on bf2 because the maps are bigger certainly a lot wider and there normally wasn't loads of squads all spawning off each other.

The main reason I think it's an issue is because of the time it takes to respawn maybe if they made respawn 30 seconds might help a bit.

lol 30 second re spawn with teams of 16 players?

Aside from the snipers it would be *10-20 seconds fighting*

both teams waiting while the snipers shoot each other for 30 seconds

*5-10 seconds running into combat*

10-20 fighting then 30 respawn.


And that's if you could persuade everyone to no camp even more as you'll get more playtime just sitting back as a sniper.


30 seconds might be reasonable with 32 man teams but it wouldn't work with 16.

Have a squad spawn of 30 seconds and a spawn at points 5 seconds.

Is this the only BF game you have played?

It has always had squad spawning, which is great as you get to kill his buddies as they spawn!

Its people like you who ruin the BF games, by moaning.

I just wish they had a higher limit than 4 players on a squad.

Just had some great game on the BBUK server. Punisher was on the other team.

IF YOUR HAVING A 3 SECOND LAG SPIKE ITS BECAUSE PUNKBUSTER IS TAKING A SCREENSHOT AT THAT EXACT TIME.

MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD:
Version 1 2.8

The security image entry doesn't work. You'd think for a company which has a product used in a vast amount of games, they'd atleast get a website which looks and works better than something designed by a chimp with 1 finger stuck up its own ***

Works fine for me.

I detest squad spawning really hope they make it a server option to have it on or not.
Getting sick of killing people then a guy randomly spawns behind me and kills me.
Wheres the skill in that it's just random bs.

Squad spawning is the only way to get away from spawn camping KD whores though and BF is rife with them

G3 = win. Bet it's an absolute beast on HC!

Perfect assault kit:

Vehicle Spec:
UAV = Reload/Secondary
Pilot = Armour
Tank = Warhead
APC = Secondary

Just got best player & best squad about 9 times in a row and got KDR from 1.81 to 1.82 (slow work with 6k kills ) Loving it, I think either G3, M95 or REX will be my first platinum, don't play in tanks much and usually pilot for helicopters, all my gold stars in Air are from UAV.

Anyone else getting a lot of CTD's since the last patch. Before i could play as long as i wanted with any problems. Since the last patch CTD every 20 minutes.

Ditto. I got kicked twice (router at a guess) then C2D

 

[FirebarUK]

Getting kicked from the game a lot now, guess its a punkbuster issue. Pity their website security verification doesn't work!

Idiot medics are driving me mad.

Get shot down by a squad of medics/assualt dug in to cover.. fair play, didnt see them until I was failry well out of cover and I dont expect to survive 4 lots of concentrated fire.. then a "helpful" medic defibs me at some stupid range with absolutely no effort to attack the 4 guys that he has just watched gun me down. Needless to say, as soon as he defibs he watches me die as I turn to run in to cover myself.. rinse repeat all of 6 times.

Hope you had a nice high score at the end of that round you ****** moron

 

[Loki]

Don't know how other people are going on tonight but i'm seeing that quite a few reports of 'quite' servers. Usually my server is quite full but since the last client update today it's been nearly empty with loads of people being unable to connect.

Well done to Evenbalance for having an anti cheat system that punishes genuine players as well as the cheats.

I do understand where you are coming from, that tactic worked fine on BF2/2142 but on BC2 a death is counted even when revived. Which makes getting revived in situations like that annoying.

DICE should make it so revives don't count as deaths. At least once your revived you have nothing to loose. You would otherwise be dead.

 

[-Ad-]

Managed an amazing round earlier racking up over 7600 points.

Complete madness and mostly through engineering a tank and working as the gunner of said tank. They were falling like flies

Otherwise the Gustav killed me so much. What the hell is this gun, it's freaking ridiculous!

I thought that was the case at first... utterly stupid that it isn't but then i guess the KD whores would be even worse. Personally i think the problem is entirely because the medic gets 50/80 points for the revive, the medic should only get points if the revived player survives for longer than 15 seconds and/or the player actually does something.

Good games tonight

Yeah, that annoys me too, on BF2 if you got revived it wasnt a death seeing as you had just been revived. Annoying when you get killed with no ammo and then revived only to die again.
