BFBC2 Issues

Ive had BFBC2 for quite a while now and it had many a fault with it.

Im one of the few who hates the FoV on BFBC2. Its rubbish and makes gameplay difficult.

Along with the really dark shadows i get and the silly lighting.

Im constantly changing the settings.ini file but it only helps a little.

For 6 months the ping is now really bad. Ive tried so many tweaks and changes but it doesnt help in-game.

I dont know how poeple can see so far into the distance! I struggle with the views!

I've done research for quite some time now and i've found people who seem to have one or two of the issues i've mentioned. Im one of those really rare people that suffers from ALL of them!

Nope. There is no fix for the above. Ive researched and researched some more.

I mean, some servers I play in, people have like 40+ kills in a rush round. Death ratio being something like 12.

I find that absurd! Never have I performed so bad in an FPS game. I average 8 kills with deaths about 18.

Having watched the BF3 videos, it doesnt seem like much has changed. The gameplay is the same. Im not sure how they will tackle hackers.

For those of you who play BFBC2, even servers that stream PBBans, PB and whatever else, you still see blatant hackers. They spam the chatbox and get like 100+ kills lol.

Anyway, i dont feel like playing a game that is so similar to BFBC2 simply because of the troubling times ive had with the game.

So im probably going to try my hand at MW3. I've only ever played CoD 1 so MW3 will be my 2nd CoD game. I care not for the SP.

I do have some really good days in BFBC2, ive earned nearly all my badges and im on Level 30 ATM. Ive got all guns and gold srars too. So I can do well sometimes, but the consistency just isnt there.

I have never ever seen all these hackers who get 100+ kills. I myself get around 20-30 kills per round now so 40+ is not that hard because I kinda suck. I have never even seen all these bugs, I have everything maxed and it plays like a dream for me. Played like a dream maxed on my q6600 as well. I did not even know these issues existed. Also BF3 is nothing like bc2 in any way shape or form. You can't put the games side by side and compare they are both totally different games. If anything BF3 is more like the greatest game of all time, ie BF2, if it actually will be as good, time will tell on release day, I have high hopes after the beta.

Bad Company games are nothing like 1942, bf2 or the upcoming bf3.

EDIT: In fact the only bug I ever had was when I first installed from disc. Ran it and it sat at finding servers or something for ages. Game does not tell you it needs an update. Not until you run the update.exe

Yeah these issues are limited to a minor few.
I play on medium to low.
Have you never come across any of these hackers? Lol. They blatantly advertise the site in the chatbox and pretty much kill the server as everyone leaves.

What server do you play in? If you still play.

The look and feel of BF3 looks the same to me. From the videos ive seen.

Do you play on a monitor or a TV?

I wont rule out BF3. I get the feeling im going to be very bored with MW3 and will move to BF3 for the long run anyway.

I love large player count and 64 players will be epic.

I remember playing FEAR MP with 32 players and 64 players, coupled with the small maps - best fun ive ever had.
 
Hey

I play on a benq g2420hdbl 24inch monitor 1920x1080.

Also I do play, pretty much every night lol but not on the same servers. I just search for my fav map which is panama canal and join the first one I see. You should try BF2 if not already? It has jets the lot and has 64 players. It is epic, but trouble is everyone who plays are now pretty awesome at it, I have just gone back to it after a few years and I am finding it hard to get good again. Game was selling the complete collection for £5 few days back.

If you play tonight, post what server youre in, in this thread, ill join up!

I dont really wanna buy any older FPS. As you say, people are good at it and have probably unlocked everything. I wont be arsed lol BFBC2 is fine for me i play nearly every night too.
 
Dont patch through the ingame thingy. Know what i mean?

Instead, manually download the patch file, then install it and run it.

It will still take a while, but no where near as long as the patch if run through the ingame browser thing or whatever its called.

The bfbc2 exe thing.
 
Latest patch for non steam version.

Sod it, its 2.5gb I'll just do it automatically...not sure how the patch is that big exactly.

ah right, that patch has some stuff for vietnam as well, maybe some maps if I remember. Vietnam is already included in the install, you just use a key to unlock it (con) so I think that patch is for bc2 and vietnam.
 
Ive got a non steam version.
Cancel it, It will not boink your game lol.
It will truly take all night otherwise to be honest - Good luck!

Im sure this patch came out about 2-3 weeks ago right?

If you do go through the manual route, the install is in two stages. First the patch you downloaded will do its thing.
Then when you click on the bfbc2.exe, it will install the patch. The screen will look the same as if youre updating the patch, but it isnt, so dont cancel it thin king it is that! Lol. (As you may have picked up, i have experience in doing that lol took the peees!)
