New Battlefield Blog post: Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Map Kit available for Download

Want to see what the BFBC2 maps look like from above? Want to plan your next game? Want to see all the places the enemy or you can hide? Well now you can. We have uploaded and made available the Map Kit file for download. It includes overhead views of all the maps for you to use in any way you like and is available NOW.

You can download the map kit from the US and UK version of: http://www.battlefieldbadcompany2.com/downloads

I assume this is the same set of graphics first posted by http://badcompanytwo.com/ last week...

==================================================

Snag some "custom" graphics for you BFBC2 Sig from the following tweet: twitter.com/OfficialBFBC2/: "Forum member ABHORBLAU has made some cool BFBC2 Userbars, avatars and signatures. Go grab your favourite from here: http://bit.ly/cd9wsD"

==================================================
 
You know what would make BC2 fun for me? A working VOIP. Seriously. How did DICE manager ever let this game out without a working in-game VOIP. What made me stick with L4D and L4D2 since release, was that I could chat with the friends I made in the game. We could BS with each other along with calling out the zombies.

If they have a working in-game VOIP (Teamspeak isn't alternative) it would make it so much more fun, especially with the way they have incorporate the squad system. It's these little incompletes / bugs that prevents BC2 from truly becoming a GOTY material. FIX THIS SHIT DICE. Oh, but I bet they won't, not until their next "expansion pack", of course.
 
More maps would be nice, and new ones, not the same old maps with new modes.....

if they tossed more town on the night sub base one and made it conquest I would be happy

valpo conquest would be cool too


but yeah a few new rush maps would keep it interesting, so servers can cycle out some of the crappy maps

I hate africa harbor rush, as a good def team can own the first set of mcoms real bad

That is one of my biggest gripes with the game. It worked fine in Battlefield 2, I used it all the time with squad and team mates. They sure can create some great games, but some things, simple ones (I'd think?) at that, I can only shake my head at.

Was thinking the same thing today, when three people in a row wrote that they were bored with BFBC2 already. My best memories of Battlefield are when working together with teammates via VOIP. Minor victories shared, like telling your teammate "I got him" after they die. It makes all the difference in the world... DICE is really shooting themselves in the foot here.

Battlefield fan (5/2): "@Demize99 Any time-frame for the next BC2 patch on PC?"

twitter.com/Demize99: "Soon"

==================================================
 
knife fix! hope they buff the M16 back to its past state and nerf the AN-94 back to its past state, and DICE really should just make voice comm available to the entire team instead of squad.

anyways, hoping for a knife fix. points after death and chat during death might be included in the next patch.

Hahaha, I got my first roadkill with the patrol boat on isla inocentes yesterday 😀
I stole an abandoned boat near the main island and crashed it on an opfor engi who was trying to CG the mcom from the smaller island near the heli wreckage.

A couple of days ago, I also got my first roadkill with the PWC. Drove it over a swimmer on the same map.

Roadkills are very satisfying 😀

And please, never nerf the Abakan (*hugs my preccciioussss*)..although I have the M60+RDS unlocked, I far prefer the AN over any other gun for most of my killing.

and yes they are very satisfying.

If it were between the two I'd rather have it go to squad. Makes players more likely to join squads (why wouldn't you anyway?) and work closer together which is how you win. But I don't see why they wouldn't be able to create a button for talking to your squad, and one for talking to all teammates, just like the chat works.
 
Everyone needs to edit the language settings turning off "language = Russian". I ran out of ammo (Russian team) and followed this Assault dude begging for more ammo but all he did was just stare at me. I tried shooting my spent weapon hoping it would register with him to throw out an ammo box but...NOTHING... I ended up following him until he got killed and jacked his kit.

just point at him at hit the q
 
That's what I did but the noob didnt get it.

Sometimes if someone is just starting that class they don't have ammo boxes to give out. I just started a medic and I got the *bleep* harassed out of me for a medic kit, but I didn't have any since I didn't unlock that yet...
 
just a few bronze stars left

do the multiclass weapons count for the all bronze acheivements?

if not its just the MG3 and UMP45

if so....thompson, g3, and 2 of the shotties...
 
You are the worst kind of human being.

I know. But it's not my fault they keep running up behind that rock and there's a place at the bottom of the hill that looks just perfectly back behind there. I got my first nemesis pin doing that.

I love defending that map. Last night I shot down five helis and blew up three tanks one round. Hate attacking it though. I usually get stuck in the squad with three snipers. That all suck. Kinda hard to accomplish much when all your teammates are snipers spawning at the same time you are.

As of right now you won't be able to complete as the M1 is borked and you get no kills registered.
 
Anyone getting sick of this game? I played it for a month or 2 and I just lost interest. Weird

Went back to play MW2 few days ago and brought back some memories. MW2 is certainly much more intense gaming experience (not saying BETTER) they are both totally different beasts.

weak

I have about 50 kills with the M1 too, guess I wont worry about it as much then, not that it wasnt fun running around africe harbor conquest with the VSS and 4x
