Are there any vast maps like those in BF2 or are they all close quarter maps?

Seems much better for me tonight, not having any CTD or Punkbuster issues, well not that I've been playing it that much.
 
I keep getting lines going up the screen when I move quickly!!! Whats the correct term for this? It's as if the screen isnt keeping up or refreshing fast enough but im getting 40-60fps with a 5870 and phenom 955.
 
problem with setup

i have the steelseries xai mouse and for some reason it will not allow me to change any options in settings to my mouse buttons
anyone else have this mouse and know's a fix for it?
 
Takes no skill at all sorry the scope hardly moves, I killed 5 moving targets in 5 mins on ocuk server.

Bet you any money all the high K/d ratios are sniper only people hanging way back getting 5-10 kills a round.

Im crap sniper then. 9 time out of 10 I cant hit a moving target. lol
 
Fire when the crosshair is just on it's way down never when on way up.

If elevated aim dead on if lower aim quite a bit above if level aim a tiny bit above head.

And? Thats not much in the way of team play. If KDR matters that much to them they'll eventually get bored and change game, its still not as bad as tank whores who sit at the back and flee the moment it takes damage so they don't die.

Spot Assists? Mortaring key targets? Trying to provide cover for MCOM attacks? Motion Sensors? People seem to enjoy slagging off the Recon when there are just as many retards playing the other 3 classes. Ones that walk around with the noob tube out or RPG. Medics that just spam Defib on people for points even though they die again immediately. The Recon is still a vital class when played well, its just given a bad name because of the Beta and Sniper Hill.

recon is generally the easier class to play of them all which is why it attracts the bad players
 
Well having had the game since Friday I have finally actually got into a game tonight without being kicked.

I would like to say it was brilliant fun - but when the teams are 15 vs 8/9 and your being spawn camped it's not too much fun - not exactly auto balancing :/ Lots of sniping as expected. I did drive the tank though :) - Just need to start levelling my engineer skills now (got the wrench anyway)

Can't see where to change the spawn/map allocation (its return) in the config. I use that key for something else and can't now :(

I really like the graphics/sound and also the scale compared to MW2 + vehicles rock. I don't like having to run though when your greedy teammates have nicked off with the vehicles and not waited for passengers :p

Easier? No. Safer? Yes. If you want easy take Medic, they get a stupidly overpowered LMG (even more so with the M60), a heal and a res, the point whore class.
 
Finally managed to get BC2 working with no CTD or disconnects, and had some utterly awesome games on that No Mercy server. This game is really shaping up to be my favourite online FPS since Quake 3.

Finally got my mortar for my Recon. Starting to use the enemy detector pulse thingies you get to great use as I didn't really understand it before, a lot of my points are actually coming from it. Also getting the knack of spotting, although I'm slightly confused by spotting - does it only last for a certain length or time? have you got to be a certain distance from the target or the spot disappears? is it only visible to your squad?

I play recon a fair bit - never with sniper rifle though. As Evilsod says, mortars, motion mines, etc, make a *huge* difference. Combine with decent shotgun or something and you are just as 'up front and personal' as assault/medic.
