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

can someone explain the online bit when you see different coloured markers above people is that to do with if there a medic etc

yes i'm a noob :)


Green is your squad (sub section of the team)
Blue is your team
Red is the enemy that have been highlighted by a member of your team or squad.

Edit: what the above man said.

Blue = team, green = squad, red = enemy
Lightning bolt icon = assault
Spanner icon = engineer
Scope icon = recon
Cross icon = medic

If you see those icons on the minimap, that means you need them or they need you! For example, if you're an engineer and there's a spanner on the minimap, that means it's a friendly vehicle that needs you to repair it. If you're low on health, the medic icons will display their locations on the minimap.

It's a ridiculously effective weapon if you're good at aiming over distances with it - I always use it if I'm playing recon, engineer or medic. It's snappy, powerful and the sounds are just gorgeous. It's so satisfying hearing the clunk ping that follows with each shot. BANG *ping*

I wish you didn't say all that! I'm on EA support live chat talking to a guy to make my account veteran status. He just asked what games I would like to have a veteran status!

Edit: Garand is good! XeNiVeX and I just raped the other team in the attack helicopter for about 10 minutes!

i didnt know what to expect with this but managed to pick it up for 30 notes today and am loving it. the snipers are a bit annoying but theyre annoying on every game :p
 
Im not so sure about this now.

Its matcing me against people who are about a 26th+ ranking, and im about 9, and I cant kill them in any reasonable way in rush games, as they have Body Armour etc etc.

Silenced weapons once again are an absolute joke, do they ever do weapon research as to the effects of a silenced machine gun?, because being easily killed from the other side of the map with one is terrible.

im not sure if theres the same trade in deal going on. although off the top of my head the games included on the shop window poster seemed to be multiplatform ones. ill have a look on my way past in the morning

Im sort of getting used to this xbox contraption I bought :p

I entered my VIP code in for two new maps but unsure if I actually have them, what are they called so I can check?
 
How to claim your vet status and get the Garand

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KxFqc9bdoY

they still have not fixed the cd-key issue. ive been trying to register my bfv and bf1942 keys since the original bc. i have got vet rank 3. although i did manage to register bf2, 2142 and the original bc. ive linked my gamertag to my ea login too so i should have 1943 and badcompany 2. i sould have at least vet rank 4 but mine shows 3. with vietnam and 1942 it should go up to 6.
 
can anyone help with how all this account stuff works ?

i had bf1943 on my ps3 , bf 1942 and BF2 on my PC and i now have bad company 2 on my xbox

i have no idea what account my xbox uses though ? i didnt enter anything when i first played. does it just use the xbox live account ?

i might of added or made an account when i played the demo. would this be automatically used on the full game ? if it is then how do i find out which account i used ?
 
it already seemed to know I was a vet rank1(iv only bothered adding bf2 at the mo) but ingame it doesnt show up, though when i login it brings up my live ID etc..
retarded.

With all the server problems its just another typical battlefield launch, a decent game overshadowed with poor management as per usual
