Decided to give the new maps a go, but I remember why I stopped playing when everyone was playing as engineers or snipers. Extremely frustrating when you are in a big open map and you're constantly sniped and you have no idea where it is coming from!

Think I'll have to reinstall BF2 to enjoy some good BF action.
 
I am really enjoying the game again, the new maps are all good in their own way (loving Oasis).

I've also started to play rush a bit more and as a result have discovered a new (to me) kit layout which is great fun. Assault/Shotty/C4/Light Weight/Armour :cool:

BUT!

I need some proper squad play, sometimes I'll find a few like minded random folk and have a good few rounds but it's very rare.

So if any of you fancy it "Friend" me up in game.

I used to have exactly this problem, took me a while to sort it but the fix is to disable upnp on your router. With upnp off I get no more of the disconnects (just need to remember to stick it back on again if using anything that requires it)

already off, still happens just the once an then im free to play :(
 
New map's are great, but Its murder when you join a squad and there all sniper's, they should limit it to 1 sniper per a squad. The update was about 2.5GB don't forget to update your PB after you have finished the Update for BC2, played for 3:1/2hrs no prob's at all.
 
i do find when a loss is coming in 'rush' lots switch to sniper and sit back and try and gain a few kills to straighten up there k/d before the game ends.

i played on a sever which would only allow 4 snipers per team at once, if you selected sniper you would be server killed (no death) and you just had to select a class again.

How would that help anything in any way?

well for a start if your playing rush and you have 7-10 snipers hanging back, looking for the easy kill. the other players on your side are going to have a damn hard time......

im a level 37 and i still havent unlocked all the recon unlocks......
 
Indeed, just join another squad. Or play Sniper :p Its when all 3 snipers are sat in the same spot that things get amusing. Especially when you're on the other team and you spot 1 of them in an area they haven't seen you yet so you just pick all 3 off 1 by 1.

I must say the large maps (Heavy Metal and Harvest Day) leave a lot to be desired on Conquest. Trying to go it on foot gets you shot by Snipers half the map away 50% of the time (or with the bull**** M14 with its pinpoint accuracy and zero bullet drop) and theres not enough vehicles to go around. On top of that rounds just take forever.

They aren't looking for the easy kill. They're looking for the difficult deaths. After all KDR is whats important, remember. Came across a great lvl50 hacker the other day on a hardcore server with the VSS. Its entirely possible he was just good, but when that player was getting scores of 40:3 in the first area, meaning over 1/3 of kills in a 16v16 Rush game were his, not to mention the fact he seemed nearly impossible to kill before he saw you, you start to wonder.

But equally if you have a few decent RECONS up front sensor balls c4 and a selection of incredibly powerful weapons, you'll have the points far faster than assaults spamming their way in with 40mms.

Beside people just camp with the m60 or the an94 if they can't try to badly snipe, and by limiting it you make sure any decent recon player leaves the server instantly.

I really wish EA would enforce it's ranked server rules with those stupid modded servers though.

Moral of the story, campers will always camp no matter what kit you make them use.
 
EDIT: Pretty much what Tefal said above.

People who hang back and don't arm mcoms will do so no matter what kit they have. I'm not a big fan of rush but when i do play i'm always going for those mcoms. I play recon quite a bit for the 1 shot kill rifles and the motion sensors.

Remove k/d would be a much better idea. That's the main reason why people hang back. You see defenders sitting near an armed mcom and not disarming it because they know they will get targetted. I'll admit my k/d and score is often rather poor because i die a fair bit arming/disarming but i'd rather get a team win than a good score.
 
if im honest i do care about my k/d and depending on what sort of round i have depends on how i approach an mcom, if im having a mare i tend to hang back, if its all going well and im getting the kills i take more chances. - one thing i care about more is team play, so i will take a hit for my team and do a end in death run at a mcom, before getting on chat and having a go!
 
Yes we can all sit back on a map and snip, done it found it boring after a while. Rather get stuck in a team that works together like Jimlad says above more fun,etc.

Lol, grow up.

Its not just people defusing MCOMs. So often you arm 1 and get to see 5 teammates or more in the area of the MCOM and not a single 1 tries to protect it. The other day i squad spawned after arming it and dieing (after it got defused) on 2 teammates between 2 buildings with completely clear line of sight to the MCOM and they didn't do a damn thing.
