I have a quick question...is it me or does the mouse wheel seem erratic when scrolling through weapons...

For instance, if I am an engineer..

1. hand gun
2. machine gun
3. rocket
4. repair tool

If I have the hand gun and scroll down I would expect it to follow the 1, 2, 3, 4 and vise versa...

but it won't...I could be on my machine gun, scroll down and want to go to the rocket...it works...

then want to scroll back up to my machine gun...that DOES NOT work...it always goes to my repair too...it is like it has to go all the way down to be able to come back up...

Highly annoying...

If anyone else has this please reply so I am not feeling like I am doing something obviously wrong.

Yes, happens to me and some others. I have no idea what it's doing. Sometimes I'll scroll up to the defib paddles, scroll back down for my gun but instead it scrolls up for my med kit. 🙄



Edit: patch is out, at least for us Steam people
 
Mouse wheel SUCKS with weapon cycling, which is really stupid since it's the default binding for weapon changing.

I guess static linked lists are too advanced for DICE.

Client update 523648 will be available during Monday

It’s cleared QA for both non-Steam and Steam.

This is a small update for a bug that was found the same day that we released the previous patch.

Changes:
• Server browser downloads 100 entries instead of 500 in a chunk – this makes the “Cancel” button more responsive
• Fixed crash during server browser refresh
• Low-level networking library switched back to the optimized version (the game client was temporarily running with one that had more debugging logic in it)
• Localization fixes in the scoreboard

They shouldnt allow mortars or tank rounds to take down an objective. I dont know how many times the defensive team was kicking ass only to have the objectives fall because some recon guys are like a mile away, hiding in a bush, constantly using mortars. Same thing with tanks on the desert map.

Check out the complete, detailed, stats they have over at bfbc2.elxx.net: http://bfbc2.elxx.net/stats/pc/Gully_Foyle_1

After admiring my stats (not), plug in your own player name in the URL (sans clan tag).

Strange how some guy in his free time made a better stat tracking page than the guys who made the game. I like the breakdown of what you did per weapon. Its funny how little I used 90% of the guns. Some I haven't used at all.

I like the breakdown by weapon too. I wish they showed your top 20 people killed, people who killed you. That was always a fun stat between my friends and myself

I'm almost certain this has something to do with the sprint key. The scroll direction seems to get reversed if I scroll while sprinting.

I actually think it's a good balance mechanic. It takes a LOT of firepower to actually pull this off, and it forces the defenders to play a little offense (go find that sniper!) and is a good strategy for drawing defenders away from the objectives and deterring camping right at the objectives.

If you like it then more power to you but it's not fun when recon can sit back there and spam mortar and take down both objectives in a matter of minutes without even rushing the objectives. They are the attackers and are supposed to rush the DEFENDERS. Not the other way around. So you'd rather the attackers camp and not the defenders?
 
I wish this game (like just about every other game) would automatically switch the Windows Vista/7 theme to basic when starting up and then back upon exit.
 
couldn't bring myself to go through all 120+ pages... but i bought on steam & received a promo code for 6 unlocks.. i input both codes (game and promo codes) but never rec'd any unlocks. I have since restarted steam several times and have gained a rank, but i don't see that I can choose any other weapons
