Actually the conquest maps are shorter in my opinion. But I've been very happy with the mode. although I consider it more difficult to manage when the team cant communicate between squads. Ideally, the game should automatically assign each squad to a flag to defend.

8/8/2008 10:41:28 AM

Oh PLEASE don't tell me that using landmines on a crate is now longer a viable option after this last patch. I only tried it once last night, but 5 mines + a rocket didn't do jack squat to the crate. I really hope my aim was bad, as I think I may have hit the mines instead of the crate.

8/11/2008 6:07:26 PM

Ditto, i tried it once and it didn't work. Does the wrench in support work when used against a crate? I've never tried it bc I'm rarely support, but I'm trying to get some healing trophies.

8/11/2008 6:58:39 PM

Has anyone gotten a saviour trophy yet? Is there a trick to it? I rarely am able to get them, I've gotten 10 pts total, it seems crazy to try to get 6 saviour kills in one round!

8/17/2008 7:55:51 PM

Savior trophies, yes, many of them. It's the Avenger trophy which I believe I only have one of. Best way to get a Savior trophy is to run around with a shotgun. When one of your teammates takes fire, quickly put some buckshot into the guy who is shooting him. You'll typically get a one-shot kill (depending upon the shotgun and your range, of course), and you can make easy savior kills so long as your teammate lives. This works great in close quarters crate defense situations.

8/18/2008 6:09:31 PM

axelay did you just play? if so I may have played against you. I use the shotgun all the time, but i'm always slow to react so I have a bajillion avenger trophies and patches.

Just don't be so good, then you'll get them

No, sorry, haven't played in a few days now since school has restarted. I'm Silent Scope EX, if you want to play next time I'm online.

I would love this game so much more if the single player mode contained a more accurate assault rifle... spraying and hoping is not really a fun gameplay mechanism. That said, I love the sniper rifle, but I really wish it wasn't the only accurate weapon in the game.

Have yet to play the multiplayer, but I've heard it's very fun.

Every so often in this game, I do something which really makes me laugh. I'm not really that good; I'm simply determined.

- I love playing defense on End of the Line. At the first Russian base, there's a mounted TOW missile launcher which has the best visibility of any of them in the game. It really pisses me off, however, when that's the FIRST thing that the attackers take out. At the start of the map, I was making a beeline for the TOW, and I came about a 3 feet short of having artillery drop in my face. With the launcher destroyed, I saw there was a helicopter and 2 tanks coming right up the front road along the edge of the lake. Unbelievably, I shot one rocket at the helicopter and took it down, shot 2 rockets at the nearest tank and took it out, and then shot my last 2 rockets at the next tank and took it out. I couldn't believe that I didn't miss a single shot and managed to get them all singlehandedly and as quickly as I did.

- Again on End of the Line, my team was attacking. I don't normally go Recon on that map but I decided to anyway since I was bored. My teammates were doing a semi-decent job of attacking the crates, but they just couldn't get crate #2 at the first base to go down. I had a clear shot at it, and so I decided to start taking pot shots at it with the M95. I managed to get the last half of the crate's health, and then proceeded to move along to the next set of crates. Damn if the same thing didn't happen again where they got crate #1 easily, but couldn't finish off crate #2, so I started plinking away at it and got that one the same way. It's really slow work, but nobody seems to think about looking for a sniper firing on the crate. Now I want to see if I can find a mounted machine gun or something else nearby which I can lock onto with the laser so I can try to guide the bomb onto the crate.

9/4/2008 9:36:04 AM

I don't know if anyone's mentioned it, it's sort of a cheap thing, but at end of the line, second set of crates, if I'm attacking I just get in their anti-aircraft thing and start shooting away at the crate inside the main building. It takes it out so quickly!

It's cheap, but when I'm defending I make sure no one gets in it.

9/4/2008 6:14:46 PM

Yeah, there are some crates that can be taken REALLY fast due to nearby emplacements or vehicles. On Valley Run, the single easiest crate to take in the whole game is the one in the trailer beside the river. Just get in the boat (which no one seems to realize is there), park it within range, and switch seats to the grenade launcher. You can take out the side of the building and the crate within 40 seconds of the map starting if you spawn near the boat. I've only been shot out of the boat by a quick thinking defender maybe 10 times.

9/4/2008 8:09:08 PM

A lot better playing through ResNet instead of wireless router.

9/4/2008 11:23:37 PM

I can finally confirm without doubt that AT mines + rocket launcher + gold crate has been smacked with Ye Olde Nerf Batte. I had a suspicion that this had been changed in the last patch (which was a while back, actually), but I had only tried it maybe 4-5 times since then. I got a few chances yesterday to try some more, and it definitely doesn't work like it used to.

I also finally did something amusing yesterday - I killed an entire squad with one full magazine from the UMP. I charged one guy, shot him at point blank range, saw one of his squadmates spawn, and without letting go of the trigger, I managed to shoot the other 3 squad members as soon as they popped. I wish I had gotten a screenshot of it as all of their names in the HUD were listed as "___________ UMP Silent Scope EX."

new maps coming out soon

9/18/2008 6:11:27 PM

i was in a game with a guy getting close to 1000 points using a helicopter and made me have flashbacks to BF:Vietnam where the helicopter with a decent pilot meant game over.

9/18/2008 7:43:32 PM

yeah theres ocassionally a game where one person is just like 4-500 points ahead of every one else. not sure what they're doing. This one guy seriously had to be hacking with grenades. I'd look at the screen and like every 10-15 seconds he'd get 3-5 kills with a grenade at a time. It was like he could see where everyone was at all time. He naded me out of room that i had just spawned in when there was no one else there. idk i guess he saw me or something

Only place I really see this happen is on Oasis. If the dart gun wasn't such a piece of shit, helicopters wouldn't be such a problem in those late-game situations. As it stands, though, the only other options are to blindly fire rockets at it or to try to take it down with a LMG. The AAA guns are much too easily camped.

Best guess I'd have is that the person is camping out on an ammo crate and is repeatedly chucking every explosive they have in high-traffic locations. I camp ammo crates on defense in small maps (especially Over and Out) so that I can go recon and throw out motion sensors non-stop. Stand in the middle of where the crates are, toss one left, one right, one center, reload at the crate, and then repeat. Even a mediocre team can become impossible to beat so long as they hunt down the orange dots quickly. On the small maps I don't care about score - I only want to win.

9/19/2008 11:02:45 AM

I wish people would use motion sensors more. I use the shit outta some motion sensors. i'll pick up a sniper kit off the ground just to get the motion sensors to throw.

9/21/2008 9:17:01 AM

i kinda wish the red dots went away after the enemy went out of line of sigh of all players. i also wish there was a spotted sequence when you aimed upon them like in BF2 / 2142 considering that you can't talk to your entire team...

There is, you just have to be looking at them for too long for it to be of much use. If the target is in motion, then you can pretty much forget automatically calling it out to your team. This could be a lot more useful if the "time observing target" was shorter, but then you'd probably be hearing the callouts ALL the time. Best time it'd work would be for artillery since they can see everything...

I find myself wishing that we could get a BF2142 game with the same environmental mechanics of Bad Company. God, how I love Titan mode.

9/22/2008 10:30:15 AM

titan mode? more like epic mode. Camping as support with your drone in the hallways on the titan was so rape.

NEW MAPS ARE OUT!

There are 4 new conquest maps that you can download for free. All of them are really fun. My new favorite level is the level with a bridge in it ('Acta non verba' I think??).

It took awhile to download and install but it was well worth it.

Also if never got any of the 'Five all five' guns, then you can go to the website and get the codes for free.

11/3/2008 10:21:07 AM

Ugh. Conquest maps? I was really hoping for more Gold Rush maps...

11/3/2008 11:26:58 AM

I like the new conquest maps.

12/15/2008 11:50:42 PM

only slightly related but there is a new update for forgotten hope 2 (bf2 ww2 realism mod)

12/16/2008 12:43:52 PM

^ wow i think someone needs to tell whoever made the WW2 mod for BF2 that they already made that game it's called BF1942

12/16/2008 3:14:24 PM

Forgotten Hope had a BF1942 extention as well.

this is true, they had several all of which greatly improved gameplay...

12/16/2008 3:19:52 PM

I dunno, Point of Existence for BF2 was utterly incredible...

I find myself wishing that EA would do a new version of BF2142 with the same engine as Bad Company. I've probably said it before, but Titan mode is probably my favorite game mode out of any of the BF games so far.

12/16/2008 3:21:10 PM

Gamespot has confirmed that DICE is working on a sequel to Bad Company.
