BFBC2... raaaaage!!!

[gazzab]

I don't understand why I'm so bad at this game... I spawn, I get killed, I spawn again, I get killed... someone's always behind me, or above me, or in front of me already aiming at me. It honestly feels like everyone on the other team is only after me. Mounted tank guns always take me down with 1-2 shots, I hit people 10 times with one and they're still walking. Everyone hits me once or twice and I'm dead, I hit them in the face 5 times and they still kill me. Everyone has eyefinity or 3d surround enabled for certain

I've smashed my keyboard, knackered my mouse and ragequit at least twice an hour over this game, but for some reason I still play it. How the hell does everyone else manage to get a decent K/D ratio (besides snipers) and I can't seem to do anything but get shot and rack up 'brownie' points?

In the early stages, when you have no unlocks, ranks etc. you're a sitting (or running) duck.

Get yourself placed in successful squads and use that to build up points. Once you've got the experience, you're set.

I'm stilll in the early days myself but find it much less "ragey" when I play on PC. On the 360, I can barely see what's going on half the time -- can't tell if that's a person, or a tree, or what. Then bang, I'm dead. Over, and over, and over again.

I've been playing for about 30 hours now and I'm pretty happy with my weapons (I play Medic most of the time, never play Scout because I can't stand people who do). I can rack up quite a few points but it's the kills I can't seem to get. I don't do badly at the shooting part, just really badly at the getting shot part.

I've played on 360 at my mate's and know what you mean. I think it's the overblown gamma/contrast on TVs combined with the further distance from the screen & lower res. I still do better on the 360 version though... most people on there seem a bit 'special', running around like headless chickens so you can shoot them in the back

Cheers for the advice peeps

I can't get on with the red dot attached to any medic guns... I'm pretty good at shooting, it's finding someone to shoot before being shot that's the problem. I changed servers (I was playing on a noob server packed with non-noobs who spent their time calling people noobs...) and played Heavy Metal for a couple of hours with a 1000 point limit. Much, much better and more tactical than the smaller maps IMO. My kills have been exceeding deaths every game and I'm constantly coming in the top 5.

About the ping, it tells me on the server list my ping is >10, usually says around 100 on the scoreboard, but I tend to spawn after everyone for some reason. I see them all running onto the battlefield then I get to spawn. You could definitely have a point here because a lot of my close-quarters hits don't seem to register.

I don't play this like I would COD (which I stopped playing after about 20 hours because it felt mundane as hell). I don't rush, I get killed. I rush, I get killed. Somebody always spots me no matter where I hide/run. On heavy metal though, I seem to be able to spot everyone even really far in the distance and even kill them with a machine gun from the other side of the map (bit stupid but, there you go). Maybe I was just picking the wrong servers full of vet COD players or something...

Same, same and same

Glad I'm not the only one with anger issues . Really want a new Razer mouse but I'm scared I'll break it as soon as I whack on a multiplayer game
