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

[Zargon]

yeah it should be more like 1-2K......

atleast the mcom stuff is better now, 250 per mcom

almost worth it getting my KDR raped to get one armed

Over 2 k:d is good. I'm at like 2.42 now.

wahts your bc2 soldier name? I can add you to the callsign thread and scoreboard.


heres my k/d stats:

Kit stats
Name Score Kills Deaths K/D Ratio
Recon 106 323 1 067 844 1.26
Assault 102 232 1 180 1 175 1.00
Engineer 158 572 1 512 1 598 0.95
Medic 82 804 598 654 0.91

and my w/l: my defender win ratio makes me sad
Team stats
Name Wins Loss W/L Ratio
Attacker 126 85 1.48
Defender 80 126 0.63



I'm just about done with awards patches and pins, I need 50 more SMG kills, 100 shottie kills, 350 total kills to finish the smg, shottie, and combat veteran

I need one payback pin, might just have to jump on a small server for that one

c4 and mines and 5day playtime im pretty far off.

the bronze weapon and all bronze is done just not working...and then get my platin um for the knife and cg which are my closest.

 

[minmaster]

i haven't been close to getting a single payback pin yet! and you need 5 for that one insignia award. i had one chance to get my nemesis (it is indicated on the killcam) back but the round ended.

 

[Zargon]

yeah its hard because you have to get nemesis pin'd to get payback

small servers for rush/conquest would be the best way I think

 

[minmaster]

also you have to get killed by him 5 times straight and then kill him right? you can't kill in between the 5 times right?

 

[Zargon]

also you have to get killed by him 5 times straight and then kill him right? you can't kill in between the 5 times right?

yeah I think so

other people can kill you in that, and you can kill others, but the other player does need to kill you 5 times w/o you killing him, then you grease him and get payback

Meh, its not too hard to stay above 2 for mediocre players if that's what they really care about instead of actually winning. It also depends on game mode as well. A KDR above 2 for someone who plays Rush exclusive would be a lot more impressive than someone who plays Conquest (which is also easy to farm an insanely good W/L with stacked teams). In Conquest its incredibly easy to just pick a flag to defend and camp there, giving that player a significant advantage over players trying to attack that flag. On the flip side there is Rush which will force all the players to eventually switch sides to where they'll play as the Attackers and Defenders, and when you have maps like Valparaiso with a 4th set of MCOMs that is something akin to the Persians attacking the Spartans at the "hotgates" in 300, you'll definitely lose out on your KDR if you're actually trying to help your team win.

KDR is incredibly unimportant in this game. I am consistently at the top of the scoreboard and have a 1.08 kdr

Agreed, it makes me wish there were more prominent/promoted stats for some of the class assists such as revives. I've seen it plenty of times where a medic will have an abysmal KDR of something like 5-25 but will have had ~50 revives and a hundred+ heals to easily top the leader board. Of course that is an extreme example, but the point is the medic was sacrificing his own ability to deliver death to indirectly do so by keeping his team's fighting force in a maximum state.

I don't mean to offend anyone, but if you are playing for your K/D ratio, COD is the game for you. The Battlefield series is about winning the round. Unfortunately, even after so many BF games, DICE has yet to implement an adequate incentive to win. Players on the winning team get a measly 200 point bonus.

this, and...

yeah it should be more like 1-2K......

atleast the mcom stuff is better now, 250 per mcom

this.

although like I said before, its not too hard to farm a really good W/L ratio by just playing the right modes and playing with friends. I know a bunch of guys who will whore the shit out of Atacama Desert Conquest and have the attacker choppers down to a science to where they're nearly impossible to shoot down in your average pub. They'll go a combined 75:4 or something ridiculous and make people constantly rage and they'll almost never lose, jacking up their W/L. Luckily there's an easy way to tell if they're Conquest whores as the W/L stats for Conquest are only ever shown as "Attacker" and thus if they low or almost no "Defender" stats it means they're whoring conquest.

Rush is much harder to whore a good W/L on as well because Defenders have such a huge advantage

 

[OCGuy]

Anyone else in the Newegg tourny that starts tonight?

 

[clamum]

I second the mention of winning the round as the objective, not some worthless K ratio. I have no idea what mine even is and don't really care; the point is to work with your team to reach the objective, so what if you die a lot (or don't)?

I'm jonesin now, BFBC2 here I come!

 

[minmaster]

yea if you think about it, since they started K/D tracking, the gameplay in BF games have become very selfish. people not wanting to play to win, but doing what it takes to inflate their K/D. it was way worse in BF2 or 2142 where you can whore aircraft or vehicles and rule the entire battlefield. i'll admit too, i will often avoid running in to disarm mcoms because i don't want to die. i just remember how i didn't give a shit about dying in 1942 or vietnam and it was still fun as hell. i wish they would go back to not tracking because i bet it would raise the quality of gameplay so much.

 

[KayGee]

I think stat-tracking is here to stay, which is too bad. At least for me, there was always competitive league play in the previous series where the only goal was to win. But in this one, with no Battlerecorder or spectating mode and all the hacks that get past PB, there's no point.

Unfortunate, but true. Even on Rush you'll see people padding their stats. I've started playing on a server that limits Recon to just 4 per 32 man team. And yet people literally fight over the recon spot just to sit back, call in mortar strikes and snipe. Personally I'm in it to win it, so yes my K/D is only 1.08 but I don't care. Last night on Valparaiso I laid down a huge swath of smoke and myself and 3 others rushed the last M-COM with 10 lives left and somehow managed to win it. That is fun to me. Sitting back and sniping not so much.

 

[Zargon]

sniping has its moments.

 

[GullyFoyle]

90% of the time, when I decide I can snipe for a while, my team accomplishes nothing, and loses. This leads to one or more of the following conclusions:

I'm a bad sniper.
Sniping is fun, but people just don't want me to be a sniper.
I'm carrying the team. ()

The server I play on, if you're sitting back and sniping while attacking on rush, you get kicked. The admins are very active as well, which is nice.

The admins I'll play on will give people fair warning to switch class or else. The else being they just admin kill you...let you spawn run forward 20 feet admin kill you again. They'll do that about 3-4 times, if you still don't switch class they'll kick you. Makes it nice for all of us.

And they are fair. I can go recon even if there are 4 already and if I don't snipe but use a shotgun and go assault recon they'll leave you alone.

They only kick people not helping their team out and just camping way in the back. If you're moving around as a sniper, and constantly sniping and killing and helping, they won't kick you. The server announcement says not to snipe on rush.

 

[Moonzi]

What servers are these? Every server I play on is pretty much the opposite and annoying...

I'm going with A

I usually only do it when I *really* feel like and the game is going well, or the OT has a few really good ones or total campers that need competition or a lesson

Do you own Battlefield: Bad Company 2 on Steam? If so, you now have access to the Medal of Honor beta! Download it from your games library and jump into the fast and furious multiplayer action created by DICE and prove that you are Tier 1!

 

[abaez]

It's horrible. None of the guns have recoil. Takes like two bullets to kill anyone. And the server browser? Good god..

 

[Tequila]

Sniping isn't much fun in this game nor very useful on Rush. On the rare occasion I play recon I prefer to use the shotgun and travel with my squad throwing the recon balls and putting C4 on mcoms(or mortar strikes). This is by far the most useful way to play a recon. When you stand back and snipe you hurt your team because (1) You aren't up front throwing the recon balls where they are needed (2) When your squad dies and spawn off your shitty postition they have to run a long ways back which sucks big time in Rush mode. I really freakin hate this when I'm playing non recon and I have to spawn off these idiots sniping from the far reaches of the map especially when I just died near an mcom and have to run all the friggin way back.

In BF2 I loved sniping and you could get away with murder until the arty reigned down on or you got killed by some cheapass cartillery. There were spots in Ghost Town and Sharqi that I could hang out for almost the entire game racking up major kills. I really miss the sweet sound of the L96A1

My team wasn't scheduled to play until tonight, which we won

I disagree, this is how I usually play recon:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_3nSW3Zbag&hd=1

although I normally go with a 4x ACOG scope because I find it better for much faster CQC reactions much like the red dot, but still gives you some decent aid for distance shots.

thats....bad? thats hardcore. server browser works fine? some of the guns have lots of recoil?

congrats!

I am starting to reddot 4x recon with the M24, all my shottie pump action/slug success is making me quicker I guess

my main priority right now though is CG and Knife platinum when I can do it and help the team. sometimes you really need assault though!

I believe abaez is referring to the MoH beta.

 

[Zargon]

oooooh. that would make more sense.

just an FYI, it has its own thread
