Apparently for people experiencing spawn delay, if your running AVG resdent shield, turning it off will fix it.

Whats the betting that by the end of the week nearly everybody will play as Medic, it seems that is the only sensible class to play now, no real nerf to the m60 either = win.

Not really i enjoyed playing as Recon shotgun/Thompson and as engineer earlier and had a brilliant round the game is much better apart from AN-94

 

[hyperst]

I'm liking the new tracer dart speed, easy to trace the helis now, even traced a uav and sent a gustav up to it lol

I have to wonder looking at some of the posts on here about the weapon balancing that there is a tad of over reaction on the part of some of the posters that the game has got all twisted up. I read through majority of the posts yesterday and then went out to the cinema (repo man very good film) so I only had 30 mins of game play when I got home last night.

There I was expecting to have a nightmare with weaker morter, crap 40mm and no knifing. So first thing that happened - I killed 4 with a morter, secondly switched to 40mm and got a double kill...hmmm I wondered - so whats wrong with the toob, wheres the issue with it being weaker?

The problem is with the noobers out there who have got lazy and are now moaning because if they shoot a gustav or a toob and it lands 6 ft away it does not kill you - well hurrah. There is nothing wrong with nades and toobers I repeat - there is nothing wrong with them - get them on target and people still jump in the air.....dead!

As for knifing - well maybe there could be issues - I killed one and missed one but to be honest thats my average anyhoo.

So if you have got lazy with yer aiming due to gustav and toob love then thats yer own problem the game won't help you - just try and be more accurate

I have AVG and am not suffering the spawn delay! Running Windows 7 premium, 920, 12mb RAM, crappy 2mb rural broadband and a 5850 on 10.4 beta drivers.

Jesus wept, that's ridiculous.

Definitely waiting for the next patch!
Ah well, I have ~350GB of other Steam games I've never played

you may want to try the m95 out, it shouldnt take 2-5 shots to kill, that should be a 1 shot kill weapon

OK, how on earth do you get gustav to kill a tracered target. Even when I get my crosshair over the little red box, say on a blackhawk, my 4/5 gustavs will still just sail by in their nromal arc

Also, had a mare yesterday, was getting destroyed and could hardly hit a thing out there.

when you get the red box in the middle, keep it there untill the distance shows up in meters and it also stops flashing, then point up and fire.

same here, maybe it's lag due to all the updating going on with the game and servers, maybe they just released nerfs that wernt needed, who knows

One thing I read is this, ''Increased the zoomed burst accuracy of LMGs'' thats why i got sniped with a UZI from the other side of the map then

 

[Goater666]

I had an awful ping last night, mostly around 180, just impossible to play when its like that.

 

[Marine Iguana]

I haven't noticed a drop in ping if anything its much better normally around 44 on FT/UV's server but last night was in the low 20's which was nice.

 

[iMacMart]

I blame the lag fest I was experiencing for you getting mine (bjcm).

Game was pretty much unplayable for me tonight, although everyone else seemed to be getting on fine!

OK

LMGs are the medic weapons. An Uzi is a SMG/Machine Pistol.

 

[~>Dg<~]

its not to different but one thing ive noticed and i dont know if it was the same as before was you can knife sometimes and it doesnt kill the person

try it with less than four people onn a server so u dont get all ya tags sometimes you can see the knife cut and blood but no death .

yeah realised after posted, just lookin for info on the nerfs/buffs as there must be something for them aswell

so M60 get better accuracy over range, lol, its the most powerfull weapon in game and they buff it even more, and nerf the sniper rifles so they all do the same, nice one dice

found all the details here http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/battlefield_bad_company/archive/2010/04/21/ch-ch-ch-changes.aspx maybe its been posted before, im not sure, why change so many weapons in one go is stupid imo, why they didnt just balance the three main ones is beyond me

 

[osc89er]

Random lag on no mercy's server last night. And indeed there is a little lag spike soon after you spawn.

I do like the new tracer though. Choppers have something to fear now. You can also get in the hills and tracer tanks from half way across the map now too.

Its not the server mate, its a server wide problem. DICE need to fix it asap!
