Try restarting the game. EA REALLY needs to hurry up and fix the connection issues. Thankfully most people don't experience them very much.

They came back up so I finally got to play online for a bit. For one, theirs not basic team death match mode, which im not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. The knifing as well seems very unresponsive and wonky, but its one hit kill unlike previous battlefield games which I suppose in a game where you can absorb a lot of bullets it makes sense to make it difficult to use.
The guns overall are somewhat wonky and stiff feeling, and the bullet absorbingness of the game is just a smidgen to high, but still bearable. Also, the game maintains battlefields classic "WTH just killed me" style of game play.
The compromise to between smart spawning and choosing spawn points works very well and much better than modern warfare 2, I hate modern warfares random spawning junk, it takes away battlefield direction.
The only real complaint I have with BC2 is that the maps suck hard. But oh well, the game play is really good.

I only play on conquest hardcore mode. Anything else is just silly.

I think the HC server I played on today didn't have HC on, cause I noticed no difference ???

I was wondering what the HC meant, because I didn't even notice the difference either. Also, the weapons are unbalanced, pistols shouldn't regularly take smgs at close range.
However, I love how the knife is balanced, your opponent gets a get half a second to avoid your knifing making it all the more satisfying when it lands.

Only a couple of the maps are good. So far my most hated is the Island/Jungle one(don't know the names)
The weapons have never been balanced. Appearntly the LMGs are weaker in close combat then every other weapon. And you can out snipe a sniper with any old automatic rifle with a scope

Cool & helpful video.
Anyway I picked it up and played around with it a bit, seems very good despite some connection problems which hopefully will be resolved before too long. The sound effects are awesome, and the gameplay is fun. My favourite activity so far has been hunting down tanks and vehicles as an Engineer and blasting them with the RPG.

Ya Im liking engineer to so far, I just hate how the RPG takes up so much of the screen, and I realize that its for balance purposes but the RPG takes sooooo long to reload. Its so tense in those moments when the tank you just blasted is shooting around trying to find you and your cowering in a corner waiting for your only defense to reload.
Engie is my most played class, top 3 engie moments:
- I tried to take down an enemy helicopter with the guided RPG, gave up while the rocket was still in mid-flight, and 3 seconds later got +100 points for destroying an enemy vehicle
- I took down an enemy tank from 50% hp with the repair tool. He was just sitting there trying to shoot me with the main cannon
- I found an enemy engineer standing behind his tank and fixing it. I stole the tank and ran over him

The 3rd unlocked missile launcher for the engineer is self-guided (no dart gun needed), but it is still pretty much useless against helicopters, you have to hit it dead on, if the rocket goes past its going to simply disappear somehow before it can come back around >_<
Unless I am doing it wrong. However, it is also MUCH faster to reload than the other two launchers, and highly effective against tanks and snipers.
Anyone else find that every enemy sniper, regardless of rank, kills you in one hit almost every time but it always takes you two shots? (Unless you get a headshot).
Same thing with half the people who hop into the armoured vehicles seem to have perfect aim with the guns when I am running around it, even though when i hope in my sensitivity is forced to a crawl.
But meh, the rest of the game is bloody fun. Though I am getting sick of rush, I miss playing a variety of gamemodes like in TF2

Thats the best part of the game. You have a "Oh crap" moment that actually last 10 seconds and if you miss, you get another "oh Crap" moment. Man I love those. Shoot a tank realize he knows where you are duck behind a building, tank fires, building collapses and then your left with a wet puddle in your pants and half reloaded RPG.........ahhh good times

Ya and its like modern warfare, its decent but that's not what you buy the game for.

Ugh. so I bought this game on the fifth of march, and I couldn't even play it online because there were some problems at EA. Ok,the game just got launched, it was annoying but forgivable. Yesterday I played just fine, and now today I'm getting a punkbuster kick, I manually updated my punkbuster, restarted my computer, have tried several times but every single server I play on kicks me after twentyish seconds because punkbuster is failing to initialize.
