lol just had a session where I was running to a tank and being shot at, I got into the tank and a second later died whilst inside the tank, from the guy who was shooting at me as I was running to it. I had low latency, the server was lag free, the netcode however, is garbage.

And had he been a member of these boards and it was server side only hit reg, he would have said:

I spotted a guy running towards a tank, I unloaded 4 clips into him, but he took no damage and hopped into the tank, shot me twice with the tank gun and I died.

What was his ping out of curiosity?
 
lol I don't know but I doubt he was lagging as similar scenarios crop up countless times. Half the time when you duck behind cover, if the next couple of shots would have killed you, you get pulled out of cover and finished off.
 
This game hates me.

When the game was released I had to spend hours over 4 session in EA Live chat to unlock my game, unlock battlelog and then the game let me join servers. I've had a Direct X error they couldn't help with and that stopped me playing for well over a month.

Now it says I need to buy B2K even though I pre ordered and have installed the limited edition version of the game that supposed to have the B2K expansion included.

There is supposed to be a patch that fixes the missing content issue today.
 
Since the other day (i.e before todays downtime) the game keeps failing to continue when a round comes to an end. After the 45s wait i get the black screen with 'Loading' in the bottom right of the screen where it stays for ever. I end up having to shut the game down to rejoin the server. It's happening every goddamn time.

Anyone had this before?

I am also getting this problem at end of every round. Started happening after the 3.9gb update but before B2K was applied/out. Alt-tabing doesn't do anything, have to shut down then rejoin server everytime. Well annoying as if you were on a full server you have to queue to get back on. Haven't been on since B2K was 'activated' so don't know if that will help. Probably not going by all the crap that it has caused!

What is garbage, is somebody trying to base an opinion of what is an extremely complex subject on one anomaly.

This is lag, anomalies happen, people have spouting the same crap whining about something they can do nothing about since the early Quake days.
 
I was able to get on while logon servers were own, even said origin went offline, but let me connect to matts server :eek:. Planes are a bit weird on it now, as when you're flying, if you slow it down too much it falls to the ground (landing gear comes out) and you have to hit accelerate quick to get over the required speed or you're screwed.

Oh and CK.. I want my dog tags back! :mad:
 
someone in a recon takes a jet or heli and goes the long way align and then sticks a spawn point down for everyone.

the map was designed for a commander with artillery barrage and supply crates though which could make defending a single flag on the beach and holding it not that difficult with team work

True, but I've seen plenty of matches in BF2 where the MEC were engaging the USS Essex with their IFVs!
