BF: Bad company 2?

[Maxon]

I went back to play some BF2 after a good long while away and it's pretty funny when people complain about features not being in the next game, Ex: Bad Company 2.  People bitched about no prone in BC2.  Whats in BF2? Nearly every player running around till they get shot or see a guy and then go about humping the ground.  It's pretty hilarious to see a squad of guys just suddenly dive onto the pavement, quite painful with all that gear on.  Sure it has it's place, but man it gets so abused in this game lol  It's actually great for snipers.  People can't move well in prone, so it's easy headshot material.

People complain about the knives in BC2 being way to easy to use and locking on to people.  In BF2? It's a freaking crapshoot.  The hit detection is so unresponsive, your basically just swinging wildly till you happen to get the hit in.  It's like when in BC2 where people will go at each other and miss for awhile.  In BF2, it's pretty much that all the time if you don't catch someone standing still.

While BF2 does do size better, I hope they take some ideas from BFBC2 into BF3.

I miss the com rose.  :'(

imo that's how the knives should be


com rose was sick, dolphin diving was gay, vehicles being near indestructible and essential to winning a map were pretty unfun.

Well to me, the knives weren't even hitting  when I was directly on someone.  It was pretty much just random swinging and praying I hit something.  Not very good.

Whats com rose?  AND GOOD LORD THE SPOTTING SPAM.  I don't remember it being this bad, but getting into a 30+ person server, it's 20 people spamming spot with voices overlapping each other.  Can't turn it off, OMG!  Half of it isn't even helpful.  It's just people spamming it to hell and getting little "?" all over the map.  At least BFBC2 fine tuned that lol

com rose = ENEMY SPOTTED, I NEED ARTILLERY SUPPORT OVER HERE, I NEED ARTILLERY SUPPORT OVER HERE, I NEED ARTILLERY SUPPORT OVER HERE

I need artillery support over here, sir!  - BF2 -

[Maxon]

Oh that's com rose...I want to stab it in the eye...If com rose had an eye XD Nothing more frustrating than trying to listen for actual enemies, but just here people spamming the shit out of stuff.  I will find a way to mute you, team chatter!

It's sad that turning PB off meant we got a full server.

All of this. Com rose was so damn useful. I assume they don't have it in BC2 because they figured voice chat covers it, except that their in-game voice is shit. Diving to prone the instant you see a guy was kind of ridiculous (and I admittedly did it all the time playing as support) but that's no reason to get rid of prone entirely. They just needed to add a little more transition time between standing and prone and that strategy would become worthless. The prevalence of people sniping standing up and running around with an LMG with perfect accuracy in BC2 is pretty dumb.

We can't turn off PB on the NFO server. They won't let you roll back and PB was only allowed to be disabled to account for their bug. The client update was supposed to drop around the same time as R9 so they figured they could go ahead and force PB.

72 kills with 40mm grenade launcher = gold star

82 kills with 40mm shotgun = silver star


DICE is retarded.

Shh we must now pray to the all holy patch that will come and deliver us from evil.

[beep beep diglett]

shotty is counted as a main weapon and not a gadget :/

also; * MP – Reduced the brightness in Russian vehicles

thank god

[Versus]

yeah

[Maxon]

Holy crap they finally fixed the Heavy Machine Guns and made Russian choppers usable in Atacama.

Interesting to see that they secretly did weapon balance, instead of just outright stating them so people have to figure out what changed and by how much.

[Versus]

how did they fix HMGs

[Maxon]

how did they fix HMGs

Wait...Crap, maybe they didn't...I overlooked the "Vehicles" part in it...

* MP – Correct camera collision for vehicles' heavy machine gun

Well looks like I still won't be able to use the damn guns lol

[beep beep diglett]

just shot down every single chopper for an entire round of atacama

with my abrams tank

Sounds like the game I played on Islas where I was gustaving every single chopper flying over.  I think I killed 5 before they sorta gave up lol

6 more weapons left for silver stars and then to try and get a platinum with something, heh.
