*** Official Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Thread ***

I just like running round with the flamethrower even though its range is abysmal. :D Fun and frustration in equal measures.
 
So I've had the game for a week. Still rank 1 with 58 kills 98 deaths :\

For some reason I can't hear anyone on the mics during games? Is this to do with parental controls? Anyone fancy showing me the ropes some time?

Very few bother with mics. If you're in a squad, the most you'll hear is your three squadmates. If you're not in a squad, you'll only hear the other lone wolves.
 
A few days ago I was playing this game and having a really good time, until I got kicked from a server and now I can't find any :(
I go on server browser and search, but nothing comes up, any suggestions?
 
Well, played some vietnam last night, the first thing I noticed was the look sensitivity was much higher... Nothing had changed in the settings, was very odd.

It feels just like the arcade bf that came out (1943?) before BC2... not a full game, not sure, only spent 30 mins on it though. Struggled to get any kills in simply due to not knowing the maps.

I heard its the ADS sens changed in relation to the hip sens. So its faster ADS.

I understand (sort of) that Dice want to change the stick handling for every single one of their games, but they really need to stick with something now. especially because people will be going between these 2 games.....I certainly will want to....its not a problem really but its not ideal.
 
A friend and I purchased the Vietnam DLC last night and played it for a good few hours. Really enjoyed it. The map visual design is gorgeous in places, but the actual game play of one or two of them is really off. I can't mind the name of it, but the map with the ruins on it... what on earth is that about?! As attackers, you can't move from the initial spawn if the entire defensive team is 'sniping'. Even if you can get near the MCOM stations, the defence again have the upper hand thanks to the map design. Anywho, that was just initial impressions, but overall, I'm not regretting buying it.

EDIT - One thing I did notice that didn't seem to happen as badly on the main game proper was after one or two rounds, the losing team pretty much all leave, and the game doesn't balance. We ended up most times with the 'winning' team outnumbering the 'losing' team after just one or two games. We would then have to leave and find a new server to get into a balanced game. I don't remember that happening quite as badly on the main game.

There doesn't appear to be any team balancing in this game at all. Its really poor, you get one side full of brilliant players and a side full of lone wolves, headless chickens etc and it never changes. That's my only frustration with BC2/Vietnam, after each round the teams should be balanced
 
I agree with some of the comments about certain maps having ridiculous choke points, I have only played Conquest on Vietnam since the first couple of days due to this. They are still apparent in conquest but if you are good and especially if you have a mate who you can work with its very possible to outshoot the snipers and make some ground, then just hold it until the rest of the team realises lol
 
Just scored 9 kills 1 death :D

I found it very helpful turning the sensitivity down 1 notch in the settings.

I just go around killing people though, I don't actually do the objectives : \

Yeah that gets on my nerves quite a bit as well often wonder if the whole team are a party.

Doubt we will see any sort of patches to balance the teams so hopefully the do a better job on bf:bc3
 
I found it was quite hard on BC2 to get full games, especially at certain times of the day.
At least with the vietnam there is renewed interest again, but yeah the balancing is bad.

A mate and I were on an excellent side last night but as people started dropping off the other team it just got more and more one sided, even with more people joining between games.
 
The player base must still be pretty large though. Must be an EA server problem. I was having the 7v7 problem just a couple of months after launch.
 
Getting stuck in american servers is really annoying me. Theres a few times, especially in vietnam at close range battles that the faster ping makes the difference.
 
been playing this on ps3 since it came out, dont think i have even pressed eject since i like it so much.

Just started playing Squad deathmatch, really good if you fancy a slower paced game. Great 'extra' to what is already a good game, try it, if you have not yet.
 
Bloody annoying when you get put into a bad squad or no squad.

Especially when the rest of your squad and half your team is snipers and you're the only one properly attacking / defending.

Got called a hacker today after killing the same guy 23 times on the same map, 7 of which were knife kills :D
