The AT Battlefield Bad Company 2 F.A.Q.

[MrMatt]

What's the most kills+deaths you've had in a CQ round?

WOW...played on the Nightstalkers Don't Quit HC conquest server last night....absolute bloodbaths. I LOVE those games. Only played 4 rounds, 2 on white pass, 2 on Arica. I love the games where the map is leveled by half way through and there's mortar and rockets flying all over the place. You don't see them that often, maybe every couple days, but there 4 rounds in a row like that last night. The final round I played (this is with tickets starting at 300), I went 29-26. I've never been involved in that many murders before in a round...

Also, had my first triple kill last night! I don't use mortar really with the Sniper, can't figure out how to get it to work right, so I never got the chance with that. I got 3 russian soldiers with a CG blast trying to cap point C Arica.

It's been awhile since I played conquest but my best recent kill/death in Rush was just this morning, 33/5 on Atacama Desert Rush attacker. 22 kills with the Mi-24 Helo, 3 M-COMs destroyed after awards and medals something like 7000 points.

 

[The Sauce]

Did the voice issue get fixed? This is the single most bogus issue for me.
And how many kills can someone get with a single hit on a normal server? The most I have seen is 3. Is it possible to kill like 10 guys with a single grenade or something, or is there some kind of lockout?

There have been several times now where I get a double kill with the M95 on a single shot - 2 guys just standing next to each other. That is sweet. Get triples quite frequently with either mortar, vehicle kills or just spraying the M36 with people clustered together.

mmm, the mg36. My favorite machine gun!

I'll occasionally daisy chain C4 together so that if one blows they all blow. Usually I do this around an M-COM, planted the charge and daisy chain the C4 then hide, when I see an enemy or two charge in shoot the C4 and BOOM!!! Kills + objective damage. And for maps like White Pass, usually it's enough to bring the building down too

doing mines is better than c4 because mines stay around after you die

Thats true. Didn't really think of that....but I like that I can set up C4 traps that I can explode from a very very safe distance if needed.

Take Valparaiso, 2nd set of M-COMs. Often I'll play recon, lay down a few C4 on the big rock outcropping just in front of the Alpha M-COM, find a shady spot to snipe and wait for 3-4 attackers to bunch up right there and BOOM...3, 4, 5 kills in one fell swoop. And doing something like that causes the attackers to usually pause for a moment, can really help on defense. I suppose you could do something similar with mines, but most players tend to notice the AT mines and blow them up before you can.

Woot! Finally got my wheels of hazard pin! Now for some naval warfare and I'll be on my way to all the pins

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen

Gamescom

So, we didn't have a Community Wednesday last week since I was busy traveling to Germany and also attending Gamescom. We had something really exciting for people . Stainless Steel dogtags, great community events and also some other great merchandise.

I have also met so many interesting people and had so many interesting conversations about Battlefield and also Community Management. It's really hard to describe the feeling I have now, since it's just overwhelming with positive energy and I can't wait to kick off some really cool community-related stuff for the BF Community. So a big Thank you to everyone who attended Gamescom and made it such a great event. Also a big thanks to the dedicated German fanbase that made it to Gamescom and also a big Thank you to everyone who followed the stream of news on Twitter.

Check out my post on Gamescom!

As always, I am going to kick off our Thursday giveaway in the OfficialBFBC2 channel on twitter. This week I have two things to give away.

1. Battlefield 2142 T-shirt (Male Size M)
2. Battlefield 2142 T-shirt (Lady Size L).

The rules for this give-away is really simple.

Competition:

Now as you all know, we have a Community Competition!

The "remake zh1nt0" Competition will keep running for 6 more days so keep posting your remade pictures of me .

http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/...6-remake-zh1nt0-into-battlefield-soldier.html

If you have any ideas on more Community Competitions, send me them via my twitter on zh1nt0 or the EA UK Forums .

And for all our beloved PS3 players, Badcompany2.se are setting up a big Cup for you. Head over to their site and check this out!

http://badcompany2.se/badcompany2-se-ps3-cup/3801


Each week I'll be answering three commonly asked questions. Be sure to ask your questions on the forums and on Twitter

This weeks Questions and Answers

How come the friends list in BC2 is limited to only 20 ppl? Are you planning on adding more in the future?
This is a limit imposed to ensure the EA backend remains stable. Upgrading the limit on friends in the buddy list is something we may consider in the future.

When are we getting information on BF3 and BC2:Vietnam?
You will get information on these games the closer we get to a release-date. Let's give the dev's the time they need to work on the game.

A lot of players are experiencing a "connection lost" message in the middle of the game. Many claim it is not the RSP or ISP. Comments?
We are aware of some older routers that do not work optimally with Battlefield: Bad Company 2. We suggest checking your router manufacturer website for the latest firmware and updates.

Are you actually listening to our requests?
We receive loads of feedback every day from users which makes me very happy. Shows me that the game is very much alive and people also want to improve a product they really enjoy playing.
Keep on giving us your feedback.

If you have any Questions regarding Battlefield or the Community, I'm just a tweet away on zh1nt0

Got that water pin, got like 21 thousand points for getting it an a bunch of others that needed it like all vehicle bronze. Not bad for 5 mins of work


However I'm getting this really annoying crash. Sometimes at the end of a round it simply crashes to my desktop. Just things stop, it just about switches to the end scene..boom, desktop. Any ideas? Only started doing it yesterday, more frequent today. Quite annoying.

nice


as for the crash................no idea.

when I loaded it today for the first time in a few days, I got a steam notification that it finished dl'ing something related to BC2, wonder if there is a micro patch that you are getting hurt from?

I've had a couple crashes in the past week, at least one I know being right about at the end of a round. I didn't actually see the end screen though. Did you? Another time I know it was in the middle of a round, so it might not be quite the same problem. The screen freezes for about 3 or 4 seconds and then boom, desktop. I thought it might be driver related. What GPU are you using? I didn't have any obvious temp problems, and I could always restart the game and get right back into the round.

Nope, dont see the end screen. As if the transition bugs it out or something. Not a heat issue, otherwise I would experience it at other times and I know my comp runs within good ranges. Running 5770's crossfired.

Well, I guess we can just hope that a DICE patch or ATI driver update fixes the problem. Shouldn't a driver 10.8 be coming out soon? Maybe try rolling back to 10.4/10.5 if your on a newer driver.

Edit: speak of the (ATI) devil - http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2100576

 

[Demo24]

I'm on 10.4'S because anything newer than that wouldn't let crossfire work properly, only 1 gpu would be active. So I'll give the 10.8's a waiting period. It's not a constant problem.

did like 46/22 the other day

atacama desert as an engineer, it was craziness most of the time

 

[Demo24]

hmm, yeah. Wonder why I never wtih sv98+red dot before. Pretty good I must say! Thanks for the recommendation!

 

[TraumaRN]

So I was thinking, one way to nerf the AN-94 a bit as if it hasn't been nerfed enough, but maybe not allow 4X scope. Saw a dude sniping literally sniping with the 4X scope and AN-94. And the pathetic part he was great at it...so I started doing it...and it's stupidly easy. *sigh* But I guess it's wishful thinking. I think every game has every it's overpowered weapon, AWP/AWM in counterstrike, AN-94 in BC2...etc...

 

[bunnyfubbles]

They just need to bring its damage down to be more in line with the other ARs. At close range it can still bring down a 100% unarmored enemy in just 2 bursts. It should take at least 3.

So as it is it really doesn't have a weakness. Sure, its not necessarily ideal as a CQC weapon as some of the other fully auto ARs can put out a higher damage per second, but it certainly can hold its own due to its power and accuracy. If the AN94, god forbid, actually had a weakness (such as QCQ), perhaps other ARs would be more widely used.

Yea, I actually got so mad I quit two servers tonight because they were both infested with AN-94 whores, literally I counted at least 10 guys on the other team with AN-94. You can't snipe them in most maps, they are quicker to shoot, medium range you are definitely screwed. Only way to deal is in close quarters preferably with AK-74 or UMP-45, but generally their buddy is 40 feet away with another AN-94...damn it was probably my most frustrating night of playing this game. Finally found a decent server and racked up a bunch of kills with a combo of 4X scope SV98 and mortars on Laguna Presa. Nailed 3 bradleys with mortars, was most satisfying

And I'll say again they need to make it so when an M-COM charge is planted and the attackers run out of reinforcements the game SHOULD NOT end. It should continue if the M-COM blows and ends if the defenders manage to defuse. Playing Arica Harbor on a non AN-94 infested server, I planted a charge that literally went off and would have won the match for us 3 seconds after we ran out of reinforcements. REALLY LAME CHOICE DICE/EA. Again I point to TF2 as a perfect example, match doesn't end if a capture point is partially captured. And truly makes for epic finishes as everyone rushes towards that point.

By the way since when does the SV98 with magnum ammo at close range only deal 24% damage on an unarmored target?? I heard the clang of a headshot as I shot this dude in the back of the head from maybe 5-10meters away, and he then whipped around and killed me in one burst. Really had a WTF look on my face for the next minute.
