Bad Company 2 Thread

Onslought is the new mode they added where 4 people essentially play against the computer on the online maps for 8 new achievements.. I did notice that over the weekend it was really choppy when i was doing recon looking down the 12x and as of last night it was no longer doing that so the update might have fixed it..

why do you need your cdrom drive to play? gotta use steam brother! love steam, when I moved to germany I could redownload all my games :) and not worry about paying those outrageous european prices for games

bought limited edition off Linkin for about a third of the price of it over here is why ;)

You don't NEED the CD, but I was stupid enough when insatlling to say make it so the CD is in the drive to play it, rather than use 1 of the install limit things, which is a dumb ass thing anyway

does the cd rom drive work but the door just wont open? try a replacement drive?

Door won't open, light doesn't flash when I try to, door won't shut (opened it with paperclip), windows can't see it, it just doesn't have power.

Not tried anything yet, only noticed when I thought let's try updating BC2. I am pretty sure one of the wins on the wire leading to it is screwed anyway, keeps slipping out of the caseing so probably just that, will stick its own molex from my PSU in there and see what happens later

I've got a friend playing now after downloading it. Sure the servers you are trying to join are the same game version and have actually updated?

Ive deleted it from steam and re-downloading,the update must have cause some sort of problem cos it just wouldnt launch without getting that error.

@ 27% ;)
 
Well im not impressed so far,before on the same map (Isla) i was getting between 47-53fps at most times.....now after patch 25-30 ish...same settings :cool:

That's weird. Cause I notice it to run a bit smoother, but also last night when it first launched, every in-game was saying the frame rates improved.
 
well its been the opposite here,i also asked in game if anyone else experience a drop in FPS and some said yes....but for me its like half of what i used to get....dont know what the problem is.

But then again,ive not been getting great FPS in GTA IV:TLAD for some reason,could be a driver/hardware problem. :cool:...il need to check.
 
Huh.. weird.. Hope you get that fixed!

The only complaint I have with the update so far is the chat window. It shows up in dark spots and takes up half the screen, lol.

I checked the cable between (from molex fan> DVD drive) and can't see anything wrong, but did as I said before and plugged a molex in straight from my PSU and it sorted it, so obviously either as you say, loose connection, or the cable is knackered. No biggy though, all is working now and will update when I get back from college and see how it is with the updates :D

Any of you guys use the Medic ? Thats the only character I have no sucuss with, How long does it take to get the defib or the Red dot scope?
 
I use medic here and there.. they key is short bursts and keep moving if you wnat to kill with those guns. they have a ton of rounds but they jump a lot so short bursts help to control and give better accuracy..

Medic is just about the only class I use apart from recon (occasionally). I find in close range, spraying is the way to go, for mid-long range, yes, short bursts. It takes a good couple of matches til you get the medic box. Once you have it, just drop it near the red +'s on the minimap and you will get a hell of alot of points. I find it works best on Rush when defending on highly populated servers. Then it is no time until you get the defib and can start getting crap loads of points for doing nothing
 
Oh man the Tracer Dart is crap now...Why did they change it from 300 to 200? It seemed perfect before but now its too damn slow.

Usualy before i could get the chopper darted in one or two shoots....today i tried 5 times and not one hit :cool:

Even when I get a helicopter with a tracer I can never lock on, I mean not once have I ever locked on... i must be doing something wrong

1) use tracer
2) Pull out your bazooka (the second one you unlock, forget the name)
3)Right click, aim until it locks right? NEVER works
