Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Gauz wrote:I meant the gun, as in shooting bullets.

I don't think it does. It just shoots the missile.

If it does shoot bullets that I haven't figured that out either.

It does... i've seen it!


That sunovabitch shot me down couple times

Then I don't know how. And I fly that thing all the time...

Yeah Gauz, I'm with you on fucking stupid teammates. I was forced to go medic and I was reviving so many people, ended up with a score of 4500 after defending each stage to about 10-20 lives for the attackers until they took one. It was like a 30 minute round, it was great.

Yea, still the same thing that always annoy me still exists. Damn noobs who run to try and drive a helicopter then crash.

Ive had an apache stolen from under my nose and then watched them fly it into the hangar and explode.

also the UAV has a gun. Right trigger is the missile, right bumper is the machine gun. I love flying around in the UAV since there are no stupid teamates i have to rely on to keep my back covered while i rocket/gun stuff.

But on the other side when you fly an Apache and see the UAV shooting you its the worst feeling in the game becuase that damn thing is so hard to hit, i eventually just find the operator and smash into him, If i cant fly nobody can!

I actually prefer the blackhawk, if you can get a team of friends on the guns and some snipers in the passenger seats your pretty much set, except from Rocket turrets and that infernal UAV.

I've seen n00bs whore a chopper just to flip it as they take off and crash back into the helipad upside down.

how can you flip a helicopter... this is impossible!

Not for a n00b.

I've seen it happen... in BF:2142.

Oh wow Noc you turned 11, congrats.

Anyway I was running along the other day defending the last point, when some absolute moron in an apache that he stole came flying across my view with his rotors vertical, and just crashed into the side of a mountain and exploded. Was bloody hilarious, but he was on my team

Like the very first time I played it some guy was flying and went right into the trees and had like 4 trees in his rotars flying around everywhere. It was hilarious.

Well Rock and I have been playing the 360 multiplayer demo a lot, and I must say its pretty good. The guns have far more recoil than in CoD, which is annoying since the levels are huge... but just a minor gripe. Also, the melee system is horrible, IMO. Half the time I melee a guy standing in front of me and it doesn't register. Oh well. Still fun.

Knife lag has always been an issue in BFBC2. But then, look at the alternatives. In Halo 3, when you use a melee attack, you automatically lock onto the guy, and will often lunge a few feet forward, even if in the air, to hit them. In CoD4, knifing is the same way. In CoD4-2, melee is just a really low range projectile, meaning you don't actually have to hit them (those fuckers with riot shields can kill while standing quite a ways away). Melee hit regs are tough to do accurately without auto-aim.

I know what you mean Rot.

In MW2 because of commando you never have to even face the enemy to knife them. The perk magically does that for you. Or you'll knife nothing and kill someome.

Fucking CoD really grinds me gears.

I think you're mistaking BC2 gameplay for MW2 gameplay. BC2 is not about a kill death ratio, or running in up and close and showing off your super impressive close range assault rifle skill. It's about coordinating with a team, and simulating a proper war experience that is a bit closer to the truth than running around getting no-scope headshots. Sure, MW2 is fun, but BC2 is 10x more cinematic and immersive. I don't honestly care about the knife rego, because I don't spend my time running in close trying to get knife kills.

Ive decided to get this game based purely from my experiences with the first one

I have few problems with the game demo.

1. UAV gunner able to take out an apache and black hawk

2. Minor knife lag

3. Fucking stupid teammates.

I swear to god, you wouldn't believe how stupid people are. The Apache is an awesome vehicle, when used right. When a moron flies it, it looks like a retarded bird. People either flip over, run into mountains, can't shoot missles for shit, and i've even encountered someone who flew it too slow.
I was an attacker, and the apache was going really slow for an apache, so I shot it out of the sky w/ an RPG and got 1000 points

I also hate people who don't understand the importance of the medic. It's the most neglected class in the game, and one of the most usefull. The recon class is the most used, and in the demo, one of the most unnecessary. I've noticed something, the only reason one side has snipers, is to snipe the other snipes who are sniping them. There's a solution, DON'T SNIPE! I suppose it's okay for the defenders, because you can just trickle the Attackers force slowly.


Other than that, the game is ace, or the demo that is.

By the way Gauz I'm sure you know by now but to shoot the UAV gun it's just pressing the RB button.

Realistically, aircraft are actually rather vulnerable to small arms fire, and UAVs are about the right size to fit a small autocannon.

Gauz wrote:2. Minor knife lag

Knifing is most useful in two situations: Creeping up on a stationary target that is sighted down scope (eg sniper) or in knife fights (which are traditionally used to see who gets to be what team first during ladder matches). You should try the defibrillator as a melee weapon, though. If it's anything like BF2, they'll have better hit reg and range, but longer cooldown.

Gauz wrote:3. Fucking stupid teammates.

The only reason this sticks out from other games is that if your team is fucking stupid in a game like CoD, you can go pro and dominate the enemy team on your own, where in Battlefield, team play is essential to victory.

The chopper is always the vehicle most frequently used by someone under qualified.

Trust me, Medic will catch on.

Generally, this is how it goes: one player starts sniping. He annoys the other team enough that someone decides to come in as a sniper and snipe him. Having done so, this player starts sniping as well, until sniper A has respawned. The two then have a sniper battle. Meanwhile, another player decides to snipe will the other two battle, and the process repeats.

This happened a lot in TF2 on 2Fort. Fortunately, in that game, i could end it really fast by being a Sniper. Killing 4 players as fast as your ROF allows? Priceless. I would only be a Sniper when the enemy snipers interfered with mah Scout.

I just found out you can use the defib. unit to kill players

I was in a tight situation and just... atacked him with it

He he, nice.

You gotta think of a catchy phrase though.

People snipe on base 1 all the time until i take either the AA or the stationary AT (depending on witch side im on) and bomb the hell out of them until they stop

Just pre ordered the game from Steam

Solution: counter-camp then with the SV88 and a good hiding spot, and use mortar strikes on that mountain top. Guarantees one or two kills per mortar strike.

Solution when your team is camping the first base instead of planting: ragequit
