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

Yeah, but recharged way to quickly. Literally as soon as I reloaded tracer it was gone.

The countermeasure recharge speed was increased with the last patch as well, not sure by how much though. I have seen people complain that its too hard to tracer a heli now because of the recharge speed so it may have been drastically increased.

Its a pretty dumb system in this game anyway, if the missile locks on then nomatter if you pop the flares or not it still hits, the countermeasure simply "removes" the tracer dart

Id like it more like it was in BF2, or perhaps another sytem where missiles would be attracted away by the countermeasure, and on impact the missile would explode leaving the possibility for some damage to occur to the Heli. Something like the Show airwolf and the sunbursts would be good, could get some nifty looking mid air explosions going on

So have dice said anything about fixing their fixes? I'd like an eta on the tracer fix because it's approaching deal-breaker bad when you're trying to snipe and have no idea what kind of bullet-drop you're getting. Raaaaar! It was fine before the patch!

 

[pieplough]

Hit reg is ruined it was fine before, spotting is impossible once you have intially spotted.

I think the hit reg is spot on now. Ive played pretty much all weekend and ive not had one "WTF I SHOT YOU!" moment.

The invisible tank and sniper rounds however are a massive pita, hope they fix that soon. Seems like they have built a game that is so complex they are struggling to find the cause of the bugs.

All said though its deffo the best online MP FPS at the moment.

Installer finally patched the game literally 30 seconds ago. 10 hours to install a 900mb patch...epic fail.

BTW if you practice with the gustav you can take out choppers without using the tracer dart in one try Much to the disgust of whoevers on the other team...

Is the CG better than the RPG alround?

RPG does slightly more damage vs tanks but that doesn't matter against a chopper.

Most of the time you're better off with the CG - unless you're just against lots of tanks.

The game is crap now, I barely played it before and will probably never play it again, man PC gaming sucks hard nowadays.

 

[mithrandir]

Yesterday and today I'm only getting 20 odd conquest games listed. Used to be a lot more especially on the regular ones I play on which are missing.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Any reasons?

Nope, just done a search for conquest. 1847 servers found, what other filters you got checked?

Ah crap - must be something wrong on mine. Might have to check out any updates or to reinstall.


I only get 400 odd with nothing checked except conquest games.

17 with my usual checklist.

Yeah, someting not right there. Im guessing you know there was a patch out on friday, may need to reinstall unless anyone can suggest alternatives?

 

[mynamewontfi]

try it so "Full" and "Empty" are left blank.. That's the settings I use and I get endless servers to choose from.

Thanks will try it out.

Yup, tried it with no options checked.

 

[mynamewontfi]

What pieplough said, there was a new patch made available, so if you've not downloaded that it could be the cause of the problem..

do you use the Steam version or the DVD version?

 

[opethdisciple]

That is strange.

Technically it would have downloaded and installed patch before you get to even see the lobby.

If this is not happening, the reason why you see such a small number of servers in the lobby, is becuase these are the servers who are not running the updated patch.

I would manually download patch and install.

However when I check for server with all option on i.e 'find all' it comes back with around 5000

 

[mynamewontfi]

When you load Bad Company 2, are you running this (R9_589035) version? (look in the bottom right when starting the game)

 

[mithrandir]

Thanks guys. There was a patch which took a good half hour or so to D/L.
Now seeing ~1800 conquest matches and just over 200 for my usual checked list.

Will have a little game I think

glad you got it sorted mate.. happy hunting

 

[FirebarUK]

I was messing around with various weapons yesterday and hitreg seems better. G3 is certainly fixed now imo. Haven't tried my SVU yet though

The massive bug they've introduced is crazy though, typical DICE!

Huh?

When I use to fly the chopper, countermeasures always removed the locked target also.
