Bad Company 2 better than MW2? Two minutes pure gameplay

I see a lot of short-lived spawn camping on conquest too, but usually it is only a couple of people who are soon killed. However, most of the time the teams are lopsided, one will have at least 50, 60 or even 100 tickets left (!) and the other will run out.

Im hating the ******** blizzard effect on the snow maps, it makes me just leave when they come on.

 

[Maniacal]

I found them annoying at first too but I don't even notice them now, it works both ways anyways.

There are a couple of rush maps that make me want to stop playing, I forget their names, but I especially hate the rush map that is a coastal jungle with a lighthouse. It is a horrible awful map.

Valparadiso, yeah, it's my least favorite map too.

 

[Harbringer]

Valparadiso, yeah, it's my least favorite map too.

Now see that's crazy because valapriso or whatever its called is my favorite one, I don't really even like any of the others, or at least theirs certain parts that I cant stand. Like Isla inconcentes is good, AFTER the first two stations, but the first two stations aren't fun.

Also, Rockets not connecting, getting annoying. Ill hit a tank with a missile, it will explode and the tank will shake, but the damage wont register and the "vehicle damage" wont pop up. Im also noticing that when I destroy a vehicle, a lot of the time the "vehicle destroyed" wont come up. Aaaaand suddenly im having some serious knife connection issues to.

I like Valparadiso as well, but then I just like the look of the jungle maps in general.

Hopefully DICE will fix the auto-balancer soon, those 11 vs 18 games are getting a bit old.

At the moment you can get BF:BC:2 for the PC for $19.95 + tax! You have to use the EA store, the BF:BC:2 download version of the game is on sale for $10 off, so $39.95. Then if you apply the promo code PAXEAST842 you get $20 off. It comes out to $19.95 + tax. I am currently downloading BF:BC:2 as we speak, so I can verify it is legit and works (for now at least! )

Hope to see some of you guys online soon!

I would buy it if my comp could run it at decent gfx. Somehow I doubt it can.

 

[Harbringer]

Meh its better gameplay wise on lower settings anyway, the smoke effects and junk don't get in the way as much. Which BTW I hope you like smoke, because this game has a lot of smoke and dust.

 

[Maniacal]

You could always run it like this if you're having problems (not my picture).

Spoiler :

 

[cardgame]

that looks terrible

 

[Captain2]

Its how hardcore people play!

 

[Darth_Pugwash]

It's like some terrible abstract art.

Anyone else been using the underslung shotgun for the assault class? Doesn't seem to be as popular as the grenades, but it's pretty much an I-win button when used correctly, that is, at very close range. Really fun to use as an ambush weapon, and it's actually fairly decently balanced by it's reload time and range imo.

I wish smoke grenades would get used more often as well, they're surprisingly effective in Rush for covering an m-com prior to a bomb plant. Can also be alot of fun after the bomb is planted, just smoke the entire area and force the disarmers to charge in more or less blind.

The goddamn shotguns in this game can snipe and it pisses me off.

 

[Darth_Pugwash]

? I haven't found their range to be that great although I haven't used the regular shotties much. Certainly no-one has sniped me with one or used one to take me out at long range.

 

[Maniacal]

A pump shotgun with the accuracy upgrade rapes when used properly. And yes you can snipe with it to some degree.

Like the times I headshot people half-way or so across the map.

 

[Esckey]

Yea Shotguns suck, got sniped on the Alrico Desert map(one with a big ship in the middle) by a guy on the bow of the ship while I was up on top of a building. Think the slugs also help with accuracy

 

[Harbringer]

They do. I just like the shotties because they and the pistols seem to be the only weapons that consistently connect, unlike every other gun.

 

[Esckey]

Whats more embarrassing then getting a power tool to the face? Getting a defibulator to your face

 

[Maniacal]

I forget the calculation, but the power tool is one of the deadliest weapons in the game.
