When I ran fraps, I got 38-44 fps on my 8800gt. I have a q6600 and 4gb ram.
I use 1440x900 resolution and everything maxed except hbao, v sync AA and AF are like 1-2x.
I am not running in dx9.

I have a 8800GT w/ Q9550 and run at 1920x1200 medium and DX9. I get between 40-60 fps.

Finally reached level 14, ceramic armor is now allowing me to win most 1v1 encounters tonight.
 
i'm going to have to try these mouse tweaks out. i've had no issues with my mouse and aiming on foot or feeling sluggish. i've only noticed the low sensitivity in turrets..

i didn't really either, but i did it mainly for sensitivity issues in turrets.
 
Did they patch this again or something? After about a week of being able to go 11-5 or so I'm back to going 1-14 if I'm lucky.

Question: Are tanks horribly underpowered? Today I shot a sniper in the face with a tank. He didn't die. He runs up to my tank, so I run him over. he doesn't die. I mean it wasn't even close, he was lined up with the center of my tank, I drove over him. No lag, no doubt. He was run over. But he didn't die. He put one brick of c4 on the tank and then detonated it.

With the bradley fighting vehicle I'm noticing the same thing. It takes 9-10 shots to kill any infantry. Is this just me? I'm not even mad anymore, I'm just starting to think there's too many hackers to play this game fair.

You really have to hit infantry spot on with the tank (or bradley) to take them out. That's why I really won't roll into an enemy zone without a machinegunner to handle the infantry. The tank is just a sitting duck otherwise. If you're on foot and see a one-person tank roll by, ask for a ride, because they're gonna need you! In fact, when I'm alone in a tank and spot infantry, I just switch to the machinegun position...

Nah, they are powerful enough. Gotta get reasonably close like a CG to kill them. I think the smaller tanks are easier to use due to faster rate of fire, and the gun is reasonably powerful for such things. Shoot at their feet or a solid object next to them.

However, the hit detection in regards to running over someone is broken. So, there doesn't seem to be any good way to roadkill someone.

No idea what happened in your situation. If the sniper was that close you might have just shot over him. Or some kind of crazy lag with you and that server. However what I find the best solution is when you are sitting there capping a flag then hit C so you view outside your vehicle. That way you see if someone tries to c4 and you can get out in time.
 
I ran into some guys that were a little too good in a Blackhawk last night. They literally had our entire team stuck at spawn. Getting kills with the Blackhawk isn't that hard, but it's hard to believe that ever shot can get a kill from a heli whipping back and forth through the sky. Oh, and it never seemed to take damage either. The most frustrating thing is that those guys were either really that good, or were cheating, and there is no way to be sure.

Tanks are awesome as long as the other team has no engies. Killing infantry at close range is really hard if you don't have the alt weapon or a gunner, and I have trouble getting roadkills too.

I've just decided that I'm going to mostly play an M60-red dot-magnum medic almost exclusively. I'm most likely going to end up 4-11, but I'll have 2500 or more points by the end of the round, especially if I can find a decent squad that sticks together and at least attempts to do something. 2 medics, 1 assault, 1 engie seems to be the best team to be on.

Sounds like you haven't played Engineer and repaired vehicles. If you did, you would be quite familiar with what happens when they "run you over". You go right through the tank. You get to see the sloppy insides of the vehicle model. It has nothing to do with hackers.

I think thats only because of no FF

on hardcore with FF some asshat ran me over for a TK like 3 times while I was trying to repair him, so I stopped
 
Tanks are balanced OK I think - I've actually found that it's harder to kill infantry with the mounted MG - lots of hit detects but not a lot of kills. According to my stats, I've been in the T90 for 17 minutes and have 15 kills with it - not too bad, considering that includes ponderous driving time bringing it up from the back of maps where they usually spawn. 'Course, that's a cherry-picked best-case stat, but still.

And of course, a competent driver with an engineer MGer can stay alive a long time, taking up lots of attention, not only getting a few kills on those pesky RPGers who poke their heads out too long, but also enabling infantry teammates to slip by unnoticed and cap flags or do some slicey-slicey on the aforementioned RPGers. Working in-game VOIP will only make that more true, assuming we get it at some point.

yep, this is how we have been doing it, i will usually be a mger/engineer w/ armor upgrade, driver will be whatever w/ either higher energy rnds or fast reload and can usually take on quite a it. plus when you spot as gunner and other kill them you get some extra points, not that that is real important, more that others can just see them easier.

Where are my G3 and Mk14 Optics?

* BY: Demize99
* POSTED : Apr 08, 2010, 09:02AM

A significant number of community members have recently asked "Where are the 4x Rifle Scope and Red Dot Sight for the G3 and Mk14?" After all, they appeared briefly in some preview videos, and were in the game at some prelaunch community events. Where'd they go? Simply put, optics on the All Kit weapons were removed before we launched the game.

Why were All Kit optics removed?
Tests internally and with playtest groups showed that when equipped with the 4x Rifle Scope these All Kit weapons functioned similar to the Recon kit's weapons. Removing these optics preserved the distinct combat roles of each Kit, and generally reduced the amount of sniping on the Battlefield. Without optics the G3 and Mk14 are interesting alternate weapons for each class, without becoming overpowering.

Will we ever see All Kit optics return?
We don't currently have any plans to introduce optics for the All Kit weapons. But we are eager to hear even more opinions from the community. Do you want to see All Kit optics?

New York Times Sides with Bad Company 2

* BY: matthewpruitt
* POSTED : Apr 08, 2010, 09:28AM

"Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is a better game than Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2." Those are the first 15 words you will see when reading the In This Electronic War, Momentum Shifts to the Underdog New York Times review. The review also mentions how great the PC experience is, especially with a three-monitor setup.

posting this for people who tried the ingame mousefix and it wasnt for them. I've tried it and I hated it. But i've also been running the CPL mouse fix since my source running days. Not sure what it does...but i think smooths out the mouse movement and turns off the acceleration in windows so you dont have to do it ingame. It works a lot better than the ingame fix. It edits the registry so just reboot your comp after double clicking the file.

edit: i think the file was taken off their website...if you are interested in trying it i can email you it...just shoot me a pm. Ill throw in the removefix too. It was designed for windows xp but it works on vista/7

Stupid. How does having a red dot or 4x sight on a G3 make it like a recon weapon but when you put a red dot r 4x sight on a an-94 or an m16 it's still an assault weapon?

would guess DICE doesn't want the all kit weapons to compete against the T88, SVU, VSS rifles
 
Can anyone tell me how to disable the f*king Caps Lock key? I keep hitting it when I go to hit Shift and it minimizes my game into Windows, which totally f*ks me up. I've tried remapping some command to Caps Lock in the options but it just shows up as "WINDOWS" and it still minimizes me to Windows.

I can't even play the game until I get this resolved... it drives me crazy when this happens.
