I don't know what update I just now started downloading, but I certainly hope that it makes a big difference. I haven't played in a few weeks so I just started up again, but I've been kicked back to the dashboard 3 times in the past 6 hours of play. What is going on...?

<30% accuracy with sniper rifles?

Cmon back in my BF2 heyday I rocked a solid 47%

6/9/2010 11:03:08 PM

Wow. Point values for using C4 on a crate have changed wildly in the last Xbox patch. I noticed that today I was earning between 300-350 for only damaging the crate down to 50%. You can get more than that if you've been ordered to attack the position, which I think you can issue yourself. Completely destroying it yields close to 1000 total. While attacking on Valparaiso, I singlehandedly destroyed 3 crates using C4 and wound up earning over double (more than 6000 in one round) the next highest point total of anyone on either team. I didn't think I was having that good of a round, but the points were racked up sapping the crates.

6/14/2010 12:11:20 AM

hey, i'm just using the fastest guns to platinum... that that makes it n00b-tastic so be it.

i've gotten gold with every gun except for the m9-3r, and all the sniper rifles but the VSS, (i'm not a big fan of sniping really)

you're done with a game after 58 hours?

6/14/2010 12:37:10 AM

For $20 it was a good run. Better than MW2 ever was. Now it's boring as fuck.

6/14/2010 1:08:15 AM

When I first started playing the game being a sniper was god awful. Your ability to effect the round was minimal. Its gotten better now that I have unlocked all the weapons and gadgets.

I can do some decent damage on larger maps. I really play African Harbor way to much because of how large it is.

Working on Engineer and Medic now.

^^Skidrow is a MW2 map. We tube the shit out of the other team on it.

"Prepare to head to the jungle in Battlefield Bad Company 2 Vietnam * BY: Bazajaytee * POSTED: Jun 14, 2010, 03:15PM * COMMENTS: 80 (Login Required to Comment) On stage at the EA E3 press conference we announced a new expansion of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 with a new take on a Battlefield franchise favourite, Vietnam. In Battlefield Bad Company 2 Vietnam you get to enter the jungle warfare environment as either the U.S. Marines or North Vietnamese Army (NVA). The expansion pack contains 4 brand new maps built in Frostbite including the popular Conquest and Rush game modes as well as Vietnam specific weapons, vehicles, persistence, unlocks as well as new awards, achievements and trophies."

6/14/2010 9:40:49 PM

Hmmm. Well, I'll get it, but I'd truly prefer a 2142-themed expansion (or completely new game, better yet).

21st Century Warfare is a tournament-style campaign game for Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Unlike a clan ladder or other online tournament, BC2 players will participate in a simulated war, complete with commanding officers, divisions, and a grand strategy map showing the progress of the war from week to week. Think of it as a cross between a strategy board game and a first-person shooter, where you can immerse yourself in realistic War environments and strategy.

How 21CW works
Players will join an army (Coalition or Opposition) and be assigned to one of that army's divisions. Each army will have a commanding officer whose job it is to make strategic decisions on where his divisions will fight, and once the divisions will fight battles with the opposing army on maps representing the territory being fought for. The progress of the war is displayed on a strategy map where territories change color based on which army controls them.

These battles are not just little one hour clan matches. They're full-fledged BATTLES, each lasting 12 hours, during which time players may come and go, so that you may play as much or as little as you please.

Do you need anything more?!?! Of COURSE you do! 21CW was awesome before with Battlefield: 1942 & Battlefield: 2, but now jump on the wagon to Battlefield: Bad Company 2!!! If you have any questions at all please let me know.

^^,^^^ i'd rather see a weapons expansion for each class, and a few more map packs, and perhaps a vehicles expansion first....

sounds like they are just gonna try to get us to pay for a mod.... fun.... the single biggest downside to steam delivered games...

6/28/2010 2:50:39 AM

apparently you are on the losing side of most of the bullets too...

6/28/2010 9:55:35 AM

^ game isn't about K/D, I don't play TDM.


btw nice gun choice, what are you going to do after the nerf patch? Stop playing?


M60 and AN94 are both getting knocked down a lot, but enjoy your .3 lead in K/D; I play for flags/mcoms.



Also to the guy above about sniping, the snipers have more bullet drop over 200yd than the snipers. There are very few good reconds using sniper rifles.

source on that? i hope it's true for the M60 as it is still too heavily used and still too powerful.

6/29/2010 9:05:06 AM

noob tubers ITT

6/29/2010 9:34:00 AM

short summary for you: you play more, use less variety of weapons, and still lose more and die more than I do.



i haven't used the m60 much lately, i need to as it's one of the few weapons i have close to platinum. same for the an-94 and gustav. thus the high kill counts.

i also have golds in every weapon except for 1 pistol (working on it) and most of the sniper rifles.

i have a much much higher score per minute than you (i have a higher score and have been playing over a 24 hours less)

in the tournament I play, with all the default unchangeable current server settings that are fixed, K/D is the only way to decisively win in conquest mode, as the bleed rate is 1 ticket every 90 seconds (or worse). if i can kill a entire defending squad and set the mcom and guard it successfully i've advanced my team more than a sniper has. and somehow i have almost twice as many mcom kills as you as well... hmmmmmm

for someone who is in vehicles (a HUGE boost to KDR) a lot you must really suck as a sniper and on foot to be that far back on your ratio.

Quote :

"There are very few good reconds using sniper rifles."

one word about this: bullshit, you can go 10-1 with a decent score very easily with the sniper rifles.

^^ the AN-94 is supposed to get un-boosted (for some very odd reason it was boosted in the previous patch....) haven't heard shit on the M60 as the T-88 is now the preferred lmg for elite players.

patch wednesday! finally adjustable tickets and bleed rates! there could be very long rounds!

a great tool for our tournament, we plan on upping ticket count to 200-250 (perhaps higher) and dramatically increasing ticket bleed rate on conquest maps. (1 every 10 seconds?)

the Romanian traffic strike was the best excuse.


It's rumored 700-800mb

6/29/2010 2:03:49 PM

The Type-88 LMG has always been nearly as good as the M60, and if I recall correctly it has a 200 round clip. I haven't played the game in a long while, but I might come back after this patch just to check out what changes have been made. It's always been my LMG of choice anyway.
