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

I have the steam version and to check pings I did NOT have to run the BFBC2 exe as admin, I did however have to run Steam itself as admin (I am on Win7 btw)

When I run Steam as admin, I do get the pings in the game.

Do you get them in the server browser too?

g15 bc2 plugin is great, loads of info, nice for a game to make use of it, can't remember if mw2 does, i think not.

How does the tracer dart and the second rocket launcher work? It doesn't seem to lock on for me. Is there something I should be doing or pressing?

Second? Same as the first, wait for solid square/range indicator....FIRE!

The third launcher is aimed, like in BF2.

P.S. Anyone else kind of disappointed that there's no M72 LAW?

Can't get mine to work properly (only seems to be one page of stats) - are you referring to the built-in plugin for BFBC2? or is there a seperate plug-in to download?

im leaning more towards squad deathmatch now
seems to be more fast paced straight in boom boom

 

[SpudMaster]

is there a decent site out there that lists the kit upgrades and what they do ?

when in game go to 'weapons and gadgets' under multiplayer

 

[ScarySquirrel]

I think I am preferring Rush at the moment.

 

[DirtyJester]

... seem to have lost ALL my friends from friends list and request isnt working ... anyone else unpopular / same problem ?

 

[gazzamcg]

Multiplayer > weapons and gadgets > select the weapon/gadget/specialization and click the details tab

They couldn't have mucked up the launch any worse if they tried than what it currently is, bloody ludicrous.

Bugs, performance issues .... bug company 2 more like.


Bloody great though : ]

The first one you get as standard the second you unlock.

I'm sure I saw on one of the ocuk servers a guy fired straight into the sky and it came back down and hit some one I'd put a tracer on.

BC2 downloaded last night, and it worked when i booted it up this morning before work....

Its built in, popped up on mine straight away, you only get 3 pages on loading screen, the 3rd page is unlock progress, in-game you should have 2 screens one with Kills, deaths and ratio the other with current ping and server details.

 

[Evilsod]

The easiest way to get a decent ping is to just type in 'UK' or whatever your home country is into the Search filter and join 1 of those. That or just join 1 of those on the first page...

 

[Lander]

They call me the shotgunner , on the account that I snipe with my shotguns lol

 

[Jabbs]

I do that when i search for games i just put .co.uk and rush for example then search, its far faster and you are not loading up endless servers you won't play on as they in another country etc.

 

[Windle]

Add me to the list of those who don't get pings in the server browser. Running non steam version on administrator account too

 

[James J]

How do you judge range. lol

By how big the target is on a 12x optical scope

Most of the rifles barely dip at 0-250 metres ish and anything above that needs slightly adjusted aiming to get perfect shots off. Loving the GOL magnum btw and have done some truly mental shots with it over the last 2 days lol.

First being took out the pilot in a black hawk on the first shot when it was moving at high speed on a rush map and I took a fellow sniper out on a jetskii as he was passing me at full speed, took the jetskii and said "thanks for the ride mate" and got abuse for about 15 minutes lmao

I'm gonna try that running steam/bfbc2.exe as admin thing, cuz I'm sick of the - instead of pings in server browser. In-game pings would be nice too, but mainly I'd like to know before spending ages trying to get into full servers if they are laggy as fizzuck. All in all, I'm enjoying ranking up my dude, tracering everything that moves to get that award (I often forget I have it equipped and go to pistol in desperate moments, only to tracer the guy and get pwned lol). Loving the v-optics and UAV combo (gutted you can't use alt-fire as well), you can really help out and catch some kills when peeps bunch up at mcoms to defuse/attack without getting shot down for ages. Moment of glory was taking a 144 point marksman headshot on a moving target at arica harbour. Epic game, just epic. If you are new to sniping, try holding left click to watch the bullet so you can see what kind of drop you're getting/how badly you missed.

Yesterday I shot a guy off his oncoming quad, his mate jumped off the back - I stole the quad and ran over his mate

Was the funniest thing ever, just utter smackdown

 

[V_R]

Well i see pings in the browser but not all the servers, some just have the - instead....

I hope they sort it out.
