Sooner or later you should be able to get a tracer dart on. If the helicopters are travelling slow enough to butcher everyone, then it should be easy to tag them. If the 'copters travel too fast, the guns' aim will be all over the shop.

Are you kidding? Theirs a very very easy technique to bank them in a closed circle over the base at full speed, tracer darts are pitifully slow, ya can't get near the AA guns as it's a ver small spawn area. My point is why unbalance the whole level by not setting the boundaries to stop this? Their is no good reason not to when on other levels they have done this.
My VIP code has already been used
I've entered it EXACTLY as it is on my little 'slip' I get with the game, with caps and the - but it says its invalid/registered already
gutted
Anybody else had this
?
Are you definitely putting it in right? CAPS no spaces or dashes. Some people get lucky with used versions so its strange that you're having this problem with a new copy.
I've been getting my own back with a slugged SPAS and got a couple of marksman headshots +2 which is allegedly 102m.

I don't know what my furthest with a sniper rifle is any more its about 6 months back now, but sub 400s (<500m) were quite common. Not so many players will sit still for a couple of seconds whilst being visible from space now though 
Dice think its fair game to have your teams weakness rubbed in your face. I don't see the point of it when it becomes utterly futile.

Flying the helicopters well isn't an easy task really (well some people might say it is
The helicopters in BC2 are the easiest of any Battlefield game. Try the Apache in BC1 and see how well you fare.
i got this second hand last week, cos i can't afford to upgrade my PC 
anyone wanna play on xbox live? Please add me: B0rnEvil.
I prefer playing in good squads with VO. Lets get a noob team together and rule conquest.
I played a lot of BF2 on PC back in the day, so should not be too hard to catch on.

Going back and playing this..I think this is one of the worst Onlinegames I have put up with.
Sorry to rant...but cant ignore all of this.
Their seems to be a real delay with what is actually happening to you and whats happening on screen...IE your still being shot or taking hits when you have gone for cover...several time ive dived behind a wall to be continuously "hit"...then die.
Characters apparently shooting you when they look like they are running.
Going back and the utter and daft stupidity of letting opposite teams just walk into your own Base and take your Helicopter/ Tanks etc...that has to be the most risdiculous Multiplayer situation when they are jsut circling you with both helicopters and no choice but to spawn there.
Suddenly stopping whilst being shot..you cant got to cover...
Suddenly turning when being shot...just daft.
No tracking of damage properly..IE shooting and hitting a target...but no acknowledegment of this, throwing...firing a granede launcher...but if you die the instant your granade and rocket missile vanish.
Granade damage yields vary from throw to throw.
Weapons damage is beyond laughable now...the strongest guns all have silencers...can hit targets from 100s of yards away, as per shotguns...did they even bother to ask what effect putting a silencer a gun has?...ie...absoutly NO range on it then..even better a UMP or UZI being able to do this...the most famous non accurate guns ever made.
And the most obvious and terrible case...the end screen telling you have Lost the Game..when you clearly Won..or vice versa..
Ohh and whats with the absolutly pointless "rating" system you get tell your mark jsut before you go into the mutiplayer menu......its completely made up.....my number was changing from when I last left...to the next game I started machine on.
SOrry to rant...but my question after all that was....how Bad is MOH likly to be because it is by the same people....I have a preorder but might cancel.

I think you are blowing some little problems way out of proportion. The end screen saying the wrong thing for example...if that really impacts your enjoyment then I don't know what is wrong with you.
As with suppressed weapons...its a bit of an exaggeration yet again to say they have 'no' range...or perhaps a complete myth. A properly constructed and installed suppressor will have no adverse effect on velocity or accuracy. Also, claiming 'hundreds of yards' is quite subjective in a game.

TBH am really getting bored of this came and also getting annoyed on rush mode....players don;t even bother to defend or attack the m.com station, u will be very lucky if you manage to get into a good team, had this game since the day it was released and it was very enjoyable to play but not anymore, so now am waiting for 12h Oct 12:00am so that i can get my hands on MOH
anyone knows about the deals going on for MOH?

Well its the fact it exists at all..and still no updates.
Youre roght...it is an exaggeration...when it is indeed..fact.
All supressors have a HUGE effect on bullet flight and power...hence they are never...ever..made at factory level.
But of course as a game goes...I dont want or expect realisim....but at least have SOMTHING to tell some of the weapons apart.

I don't mind this, I just shoot them down.

Umm...if you hit a target then it comes up with an 'X' on your crosshair to confirm you are hitting the target...not for a lot of the of the shots tho...especially with fast guns

Never had this either...im getting it frquently now in rush and conquest modes.

What rating system?..its like a number that comes up at the start saying youre recent prefimace has dropped your ranking or somthing

To be fair to the game there is a hell of a lot of things going on in the game not to experience a little lag here and there. Never seems to be a problem for me though so I dont have any issues with it.
Letting teams into your base. Well thats up to your team really. I always clear out the base before moving on. Then it up to your team to protect it which is easy if you clear them out at the beginning.
The UMP isnt the strongest weapon, it is just very good. A bit too good like you said but a 1v1 with against an assault rifle and you will beat them every time.
The end screen thing has been about for ages. Its a little annoying but nothing more. You still get the win and pts even if it is wrong.
Apparently there is a rating system based on all the figures but it is very complicated. I am sure if you google it you will find the answer.
I played the MOH Beta and from that I will definately not be getting it. Too many similar games coming out that arent much of an improvement on their previous tiltle to justify £30-£45 in my opinion. MOH and Black Ops are just glorified map packs but they are charged at full price.

Thats just not true though. SOME suppressors slow down bullets by quite a bit yes, but other suppressors (generally more modern and preferred ones) actually have been shown to increase muzzle velocity by ~1%. Point being, no adverse effect on velocity. Accuracy is 'affected' by having the extra weight on the end of the gun, which is countered by adjusting the sights, at which point it becomes the same again. Subsonic ammo will travel slower than regular ammo, but I think this is all getting a bit technical for a video game.
Point is, its not like its a complete mistruth, as certain suppressors can slightly increase velocity/have no adverse effect.
