They... nerfed the tracer dart? What the hell?

6/30/2010 5:27:43 PM

heli flying is much easier now, will make for much better dog fights than two school buses in the air.

6/30/2010 5:50:11 PM

they reduced the speed a little, still faster than it was before....

7/1/2010 1:50:16 PM

i think the patch is alright, i haven't tried all the new weapons though....

we had a epic round (1800 tickets a side) but the bleed rate wasn't fast enough! so it took forever to finish... i got disconnected twice from EA for some reason, (fucking adobe updater) and crashed to desktop twice as well, so I didn't get to see my 50k points for the round

7/2/2010 11:10:10 AM

Anyone playing on particular servers?

7/2/2010 11:22:07 AM

usually the 21cw servers (the public ones) i get on others though, just join through me, i think i have you added as a buddy ingame

7/2/2010 12:34:57 PM

i play a lot on the i3d servers. i've found them to be equally balanced the majority of times which is really nice.

7/2/2010 1:02:11 PM

haven't played in a few months. excited as shit about the vietnam expansion.

gotta get back in to up my knife kills and finally get the platinum

and hell yes i used the shit out of the M-60 when I was a medic. you're just a retard if you don't use the best weapons for the class you're playing.

i will consider the Vietnam expansion when it gets released and reviewed but I have my reservations after how "Battlefield: Vietnam" played out. that was such a disappointment with so much potential that never was, IMO anyway.

but best part by far was flying the choppers blasting rock music a la Apocalypse Now

7/6/2010 10:43:45 AM

yeah.... the vietnam mod for 1942 was in ways better than battlefield vietnam ever was....

the mod continuation in BF2 kinda sucked....

the 1942 version replaced the big map with a topographical map with hand written notations and such, brilliantly thought out map design and decently balanced weapons....

"The AKs74u now has more felt recoil when aiming."

i noticed this last night when playing.. the recoil is crazy now compared to what it was. it seems to have a much higher kick to it versus other weapons too. bah.

on a side note, way glad that knifing is fixed. ran out of ammo last night in a match so i just started running around knifing everyone i could find lol

7/7/2010 7:58:44 AM

new map pack today

Atacama Desert - Rush
Port Valdez - Conquest

7/7/2010 11:04:19 AM

i'm seeing the tactic of loading up a helo with as much C4 as possible and crashing it into the MCOM's a lot more lately. anyone else noticing this?

7/26/2010 1:02:04 PM

^ Yea that and the suicide ATVs, luckily my SPAS makes quick work of those guys

7/26/2010 1:25:53 PM

has anyone received the all bronze stars badge? to my knowledge I have a bronze star in everything but I have not received that reward yet. NCSUCobra is my name, feel free to check my stats and tell me what I am missing

7/26/2010 6:19:09 PM

i know a bit late but... i have not received any of the "all bronze, silver, gold" badges yet. theres still a bunch of weapons i have yet to use in the various classes. i'm finally getting everything unlocked; i had the Medic Class locked for the longest time. started playing that class a lot in the past week just to finish out everything.

as a side note, dumbasses who enter buildings that are about to come down to disable the MCOM are complete noobs and piss me off. it happened the other night on Arica Harbor at the first MCOM A. i'm sitting there blasting away at the building in my tank and its about to come down and my teammate just runs in and dies. and of course i get the TK and loss in points

8/10/2010 12:00:58 PM

TKs don't bother me anymore. I only play hardcore servers so TKs are pretty normal for me, lol.

To my knowledge I have got all bronze an silver stars for everything, now working on the golds.

8/10/2010 6:41:18 PM

bump for the PS3 stats updates shenanigans on BFBCS

69 hour wait for an update? wtf?

is this still that issue with EA's servers getting overloaded by third party stats sites?

10/18/2010 9:12:40 PM

working fine for the PC side.

10/18/2010 9:58:26 PM

A real bitch and a half to sift through the whole thread to find everyone's name since no one kept up the original list.

big update patch coming tomorrow 10/29. fixing lots of issues

http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/battlefield_bad_company/archive/2010/10/28/patch.aspx

10/28/2010 3:50:26 PM

Oasis and Harvest Day maps from BC1 are coming to BC2. I loved those maps, so I'm very pleased to hear this.

11/17/2010 10:58:29 AM

those gonna be conquest or rush maps?

11/17/2010 11:13:02 AM

Supposed to be compatible with all 3 modes. One more map from the campaign is supposed to be added in Rush mode, but I have yet to play the campaign so I don't know what it is.

11/17/2010 2:09:57 PM

http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/battlefield_bad_company/archive/2010/11/08/oasis-and-harvest-day-heading-for-battlefield-bad-company-2.aspx

11/17/2010 6:10:54 PM

Well damn, clearly I should have bought BC2 instead of MW2, I'd have a ton of people to play with.

11/17/2010 7:14:35 PM

is there still a good community playin this?

11/17/2010 8:35:28 PM

I still play occasionally. Sad that my clan basically dropped this for Black Ops and honestly, I like BC2 better. Can't wait for BF3 next year.

11/17/2010 8:43:15 PM

i think i'd like a role based game like this more than call of duty, but i got MW2 cause i knew more people playing it. i saw this is only $30 now at best buy though, so its tempting.

11/17/2010 9:42:05 PM

"is there still a good community playin this?"

Yes, it's still going on strong. I don't know what the average numbers are, but I always get into full games when I play Rush. I feel like the numbers will surge heavily when the Vietnam expansion pack comes out.

11/18/2010 7:59:04 AM

new maps will be awesome

you can add me to that list for ps3. gamertag = blasphemour (no relation to blasphemour)

11/24/2010 10:29:18 PM

i'll be online playing this on the PS3 come December 25th. I'll be back to inform of my gamertag

11/25/2010 11:26:38 AM

recently had to install a 1700mb update before playing online

contents of this update:

Quote :

"- Acog and Red dot scope now equippable on MK-14 and G3. - Fixed a bug on PC where the G3 would do less damage than intended. - Reduced VADS push back and damage to balance it with the ZU23. - Fixed a bug where Vehicle Countermeasures would fail to remove tracer darts at high speed. - Reduced the reload time for Vehicle Countermeasures. - Slightly increased the AT4's damage vs armor to emphasize its anti vehicle role while keeping it balanced vs armor. - Increased the AT4’s top speed and acceleration so users spend less time exposed when firing. - Increased the AT4's splash damage so it competes with other AT weapons vs infantry. The AT4 still has the least splash damage of all AT weapons. - Reduced the splash damage of the Carl Gustav to bring it in line with other explosive weapons. The Carl Gustav still has the most splash damage of all AT weapons. - Increased the 1 shot kill range of the M95 body shot to counter its lower rate of fire. - Fixed a bug with the SVU that gave it better close range damage than other semi auto weapons. - Reduced all weapon damage to the MCOM by 50%.(Does this mean it takes 24 C4 to destroy an MCOM now?) - Fixed a C4 vs MCOM exploit on Atacama Desert. - Fixed a bug with FOV when aiming the M1911. - Lowered the close range damage of the AN94 to highlight its long range role. - Increased the accuracy of the F2000 on the move to highlight its role as a mobile AR. - Increased the close range damage of the shotguns to give them a greater advantage vs slugs. - Slightly lowered the damage of the M60 to balance its accuracy advantage vs other LMGs. - Slightly lowered the damage of the MG3 at close range to balance it with other high rate of fire weapons. - Slightly increased the damage of the UH6"

evidently they also included some updates to get ready for the release of map pack 7 and the vietnam pack

i'm betting that new map pack is out by Dec 1

[Edited on November 26, 2010 at 11:41 PM. Reason : .]

11/26/2010 11:38:51 PM

I am going to be most displeased if it takes twice as many C4 bricks to destroy a crate now.

And they're changing the M60's damage AGAIN...? It seems like it changes every single update.

11/27/2010 12:42:01 AM

Oh yeah, finally got a platinum star.



[Edited on November 27, 2010 at 12:52 AM. Reason : image swap]

11/27/2010 12:49:31 AM

need to get back into this game sometime and finish off the platinum star for the knife...only 87 more to go

11/27/2010 10:17:50 AM

I'll start back playing this game soon. This is one of the few games that I will not trade or sale.

11/27/2010 5:44:11 PM

yea i will probably be getting back to the killing, though my xboxlive name will change and I will have to fight back to get all my guns.. but should be fun. just have to find a good deal and get a new tv and 360.

11/28/2010 5:36:57 PM

New trailer for map pack 7 is up on the official website (http://www.battlefieldbadcompany2.com/). Looks like it drops tomorrow! Vietnam addon pack is due December 21. I know what I'm gonna be doing over the Christmas break.

11/30/2010 11:41:10 AM

Quote :

"- Increased the close range damage of the shotguns to give them a greater advantage vs slugs."

After playing a few rounds last night, I am exceedingly curious as to how much the damage was increased, especially in the case of the 870. I got 1-shot (while at full health) several times last night from ranges which didn't seem possible, and the people doing it weren't using slugs. Hopefully someone will have stats posted soon. If this works as well as it appears to, then I may have to start using the 870 a lot more.

12/2/2010 8:07:25 AM

yeah the 870's damage definitely increased. I've been using it a lot more since the update, only 200 to go til my first platinum

and they made C4 pretty much ineffective against MCOMs. if you put 6 on there with EXPLMK2 it only gives you 100 points

anybody else think heavy metal is just a little too big for 12v12?

12/4/2010 11:54:52 AM

^^^ i fucked up kids before with the 870 and will continue to...

^^ good, the C4 points/mcom kill always seemed kinda lame to me and let one person have a little too much power over the game. one guy runs in with explosive damage and extra explosives and the mcom isnt covered or the guy hides for 30-45 seconds planting c4 and it was pretty much gone and the guy racks up 450+ points and one -10. I know cuz I have done that several times

^ um what?

12/4/2010 1:02:00 PM

^^wrong thread?

I guess I'll download update and play later tonight.

12/4/2010 2:32:39 PM

on the next update they'll reduce damage on the M14 and G3 since everybody and his brother uses them now that they have ACOG and red dot

12/5/2010 7:20:12 PM

I love the G3 and can't use it worth a damn with optics. Iron sight is just fine by me. I've never gotten into using the M14 in any capacity.

12/5/2010 11:10:36 PM

no love for the tommy gun. I want reddot on it, but I'm fine without. New maps are pretty fun.

12/6/2010 5:17:58 PM

i would love red-dot on the Thompson, would make it so much easier to aim. i'm really liking the new maps too. they have breathed a breath of fresh air into the game which is really good esp for those of us who are still undecided about getting the BF:Vietnam expansion.

as for the G3, i find it so much better to use with iron-sights. for whatever reason, i have a harder time aiming and hitting my target with the red-dot than i do with iron-sights. so that's nice for me as it frees up my ability to carry extra ammo or nades. one complaint i have with the G3 tho is the small clip size; wish they'd make it 25/30 rounds in a clip. the M14 isn't bad but it just cant be used on certain maps where you need the use of an automatic rifle.

12/7/2010 1:31:19 PM

I just wished they allow scopes on m14's, I mean they are used as such in the real world; even till today. I mean come on, look at this beast:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Navy_Mark_14_Mod_0_Enhanced_Battle_Rifle

And yes, new maps are fun fun fun! Been averaging over 2 KDR since the patch. Also, I'm not gonna buy the BFBC2V; I mean they already made a BF Vietnam game already... Find another campaign plz, plus we already have COD:BO that's kinda set in that same time frame...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield:_Vietnam

12/8/2010 7:54:34 PM

I would squeal like a little girl if they'd do a 2142 variant with the same engine... Titan mode would be ridiculous.
