It's an beautiful sight when you see 3-4+ rockets fly up vertically then curve down in sync and chase a tank to it's fiery death :D
 
I bought this in the Steam sale and have been slowly working my way up the learning curve. It's a great game and I can see myself devoting a load of time to it. I'm new to PC gaming so have got the added obstacle of kb and mouse - mainly the keyboard as I was initially struggling with WASD.

For those that are new to it and struggling and/or not liking the game then I suggest sticking with it. Watch some youtube training videos and read this thread - it does get easier when you rank up and you can fly through the early ranks when you start getting some of the combat awards. I think I'm quite close to 4 at them moment that will net me about 20,000.

I have been working my through this thread which brings me on to my question. I noticed there is a fix for the hit reg which can be off sometimes. It's not really a massive problem for me, but wondered if a) the ping fix is something that everyone uses and b) is it still required or has it been fixed in a subsequent patch.
 
never used the ping fix and never had a problem. (i think they changed the default value pretty quickly, from what it was at release)

aside from the occasional massive lag spike most of the "omg hit reg" posts are from pray an sprayers who came up against a person who aims an tap fires.

Unfortunately it doesn't work, there are many clips on youtube claiming success but I tried it and it didn't make a scrap of difference, also some of the clips have been doctored to make you believe it works :(

best thing you can do is pick a gun and stay with it to learn how it behaves and you'll soon rack up a heap of points.....even the M1 (if you have the extra unlock) can be devastating if you keep with it

If your having problems still, try Vietnam which has the same (I think) hit reg / boxes as MOH (Which is why I've stopped playing it)

If you haven't tried it yet, grab the Neostead or 870 and use Slugs and Magnum Ammo and run around 'sniping' people with them. It's hilarious the range they have and it's pretty much a 1 hit kill at close to medium range with it.

Thanks for the replies - like I said it's not a massive problem. Most of the 1v1 I lose are from people taking their time to shoot - i.e getting me with headshots. I try and burst fire as much as possible, but my aim probably lets me down a bit. It's just occasionally I can be sure I've hit someone, but it doesn't register. It's a minor thing though compared to how great the game is.
 
And on Hardcore its 1 hit kill, full stop.

Pff, hit reg is still bs on occasion. You never notice with fully auto weapons, you notice with single shot weapons that miss despite being clearly over the target (and my personal favourite, hit despite being nowhere near them). Sometimes its the server sometimes its just certain people whose hitreg seems completely screwed up, as you well know from that Oasis Conquest game. Its completely messed up with knife if you run inside a building or drop off something then knife someone just as you get in around a corner. It doesn't fail as much in 1v1 straight combat but its still horrible in those situations.

You guys running into more butthurt admins then? :p I do wonder sometimes how people can miss the 3 or 4 RPGs that come flying off the hill. Usual problem with that map is nobody bothers to stay near the MCOM so they get inside and arm it and no one can get there in time ><
 
Sorry to hear theyre closing down, noticed lately that they were empty a lot though. Had some great games on the TFU servers.:)

Cheers pal, the 24 man server seems to pick up now and again…. Just gona wait until BF3 see how that goes… don’t hold much hope tho! We’re pretty much all playing WoW now, if BF3 fails to impress I cant see me playing FPS on the PC again!
 
Looking forward to BF3 as well, still play a lot of BC2 and recently purchased BF2 again, given up on black ops though as it's absolutely dire, have to disable sli to get it to run, like a stuttery slideshow with sli enabled. Not good when you have to "downgrade your graphics" to play a game.:(
 
Do you have to do anything "special" to make rpg track? I've used the spotter several times, but not able to get the rpg to track like I have seen others do?

I'm aware the M136AT4 doesn't track spotter.

EDIT: Ah, just seen.. have to wait till reticule stops flashing.
 
Sorry to go back to well-trodden ground, but I am really getting sick of the huey helicopters in Vietnam. They are totally overpowered. It would be okay if people could play as a team and focus on bringing down the chopper, but instead all my team-mates seem to just sit there like lemmings getting mown down while I take pot-shots at the chopper on my own like an idiot.

LOL that made me laugh, yes they are very very overpowered. Still the best game out there though, the amount of fun to be had it unreal.
 
Yeah don't get me wrong I love BC2 and I love Vietnam, just doing some bitching I guess. I'm still happy to mow down guys and get ridiculous K/D ratios when Im in the huey myself!
