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

Had some great games. Was playing solo though against a team of squadded people and getting a little whipped in the last game. Will have to get on with friends tonight.

Defo keeping my pre-order though :D
 
Guys, if any of you followed my ramblings in the PS3 beta thread, you know my pet hate for this game. :p

SPOT YOUR ASSES OFF!

Press BACK/SELECT to highlight any enemy in your crosshairs so if you miss your shot, another team member may get the kill. You get 20 points for doing so. Makes things much easier.

Has it been toned down? its suppose to have been
 
I'm going to be on it pretty much constantly from now on. Much better than MW2 and the only thing that could draw me away from it is MOH (meaning I've got at least 6 months of BFBC2!) :p

This ^^^ sorry I wasnt chatting m8...I was in private chat with someone else and just being lazy.
 
By far the best FPS 360 game I've played so far, Controls are just right, sensitivity is awesome, chaos is damn fun, everything about this game I love!

MW2 killer definitely :D

I agree. I really like the tweaks they've done to the sticks since 1943. Seems like a lot slower acceleration curve and makes gun handling feel a lot smoother. Best 360 MP game I've played so far for me.
 
so is this worth it then if i already have MW2?

yay or nay?

Yeah defo. I've already traded MW2

ya what i mean is i cant see myself splitting time between 2x first person shooters, ill be on one or 'tother...

I'm the same. For me BC2 is soooooo much better. More to do and far more choice. Plus it has this amazing feature called....."recoil" or something like that.
 
does this have silly killstreaks and better weapons for the people who play it far too much then ?

demo is taking ages to download

No killstreaks and I dont think the later weapons could be classed as better. People only take a few rounds on each gun and drop fast.
 
What is up with the health in this game? Am I correct in thinking everyone has slow health regen which can be boosted by the Medic's medikit? And why is there no health bar when you can see other people's?

Yeah slow health gain.

It doesn't feel like anything happens when you step on a med pack IMO. I know they work its just it needs a sound or visual indicator.
 
Yes, everyone's health regenerates now. Crap if you ask me as it takes away some need for the medic, which is probably why they introduced the defib revival. The medic has three different levels of medkit I think (via upgrades) each of which makes your health regen faster.

on hardcore you'll actually need the medic or you wont even be able to see properly if youre in a near death state with no medic around :D

hardcore = no health regen
 
Damn you’ve rumbled me :(

;)

Seriously though, aside from my own negative experience with the controller, there’s really not even an inch between them in terms of playing – I’m not one for sitting back admiring the textures/jaggies so can’t really comment on those aspect, but who cares when the game is this fun!

Hope I really can get 25 notes for MW2, that game is offski :D

I got £30 for mine on the bay. After listing fee/sales fee/covering the free postage/and paypal fee, it worked out to around £2.30 but it was well worth it!:p
 
Hmmmm, feels a bit... strange to me...

Anyone know why my screen kept shaking and my pad rumbling randomly? And how do you get UAVs and airstrikes?

Also... When you first run the game it asks you to sign into your EA account, what is this for? When my brother played it he signed in but when I signed into xbl it didn't ask me to sign in to EA at all.

Its shaking due to near by explosions and such (I think it maybe slightly glitching as sometimes it does seem random). UAV is in the attacks base and as for airstrikes you can get in a heli and rain down some missiles. In terms of auto stuff there's none which is great IMO.

In terms of the team camping I find you need a few good players to keep momentum. I've had some great games where I've keep the first tank you get as attacker alive and positioned it so that I can take out the creates without getting too close to infantry.

Pushing forward like that usually gets most of the team on the move. When everyone stops though its hard to push forward as no one wants to move if everyone else is camping. If you've got a squad of 4 friends though you'll clean up.

Remember creates have health and can be destroyed with about the equivalent of 10 c4's

Does seem one of those games that really divides opinion. I can see why though. Personally the more I play the more I love it but it does have a lack of polish to a lot of the features.
