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

[Capt Caveman]

Cause TWL was always the shitty league

Many people that play TWL also play CAL. Not everyone can be a pro like you.

God damn you EA. Right in the middle of a great game on defense, just made two ridiculous good sniper shots, then BAM network connection has been lost....damn you EA

Day-um...I have some friends that won't buy it because their hardware is not up to snuff. At this price, they might buy it just to have it for the future!

I abused some nubs earlier today
my buddy Allen didn't do too bad either

I think I was actually 80-6 at one point and finished 12-4 at the last set of mcoms because most of my teammates decided to stop pushing in while I covered them so I had to push in and "suffer" a 3:1 KDR :biggrin:

 

[Demo24]

Damn! What weapons?

I almost never get to 30

 

[GullyFoyle]

Sucks to be you ...

How do you "cover" for your team? As recon, medic, or ???

Sorry I didn't get any games in last night. Hopefully I can catch up with you tonight, since I have you on my friends list. Do you have a TS/Vent server you normally play on? Can you PM me the info, if you don't mind?

Thanks!

How many hacker accusations did you get with that score? Had to have been 2 or 3.

Heh - I'll be it was more than that

 

[Exterous]

I had a game last night on Valporaso where someone called me a CG whore when I kept killing him(and I was whoring) so I switched to the MG36 and killed him. So then he called me an MG36 whore. I went to the AN94 and he said
'What, you can't kill me with any real weapons?'
Me: "How about we simplify this process and you tell me what weapon you want me to kill you with."
Him: "Uzi"

So I switched to the Uzi and killed him about 5 minutes later

He didn't respond when I asked "Next request?"

nice

I got called an RPG n00b last night

i sure as hell aint using the AT

 

[MrMatt]

I'm loving the CG. I'm going to keep spamming it until I'm back over 1:1 K.

Damn! What weapons?

I almost never get to 30

after mastering just about every weapon in the game to platinum star, I decided to treat myself to some AN-94 + M1911 with a variety of 40mms

Medic can be good cover due to the LMG's excellent ability to sustain fire without reloads. The snipers are also good for their unrivaled precision. However playing Valparaiso, a very medium range map with a lot of close quarters interspersed, I went with the AN-94 for its excellent versatility.

I had a few, but not as many as I've had with less than eye popping results. Like I said before, I was abusing some nubs, it really was like a turkey shoot so I imagine there were quite a few players who wouldn't even know how to accuse me of cheating if they were even aware enough in game to realize they were getting so lopsidedly owned.

Although maybe I'm not giving them and myself enough credit, I was playing assault and actually leading charges and getting lucky enough to stay alive for ridiculous killing sprees, so the fact that I was actually in the thick of things and not way off in the distance might have prevented some people from being as quick to accuse me.

It wasn't like when I play assault Recon and am getting one shot kills left and right becaue I'm up close and can get body shot kills but still have mastered bullet drop for long distance headshots on slower targets. I get accused pretty regularly then.

I seem bored of the game already, and I think I'm only at level 25. But I love loading up C4 on a vehicle and going suicidal and jumping off trying to take out tanks.

I haven't touched the CG for the past few weeks...it's just too boring. I love the RPG, it's the only rocket launcher I use these days. The satisfaction of nailing CG noobs with a RPG is exceptional hehehe.

I find myself playing more 'assault-engineer' these days with the UMP-45 + RDS + magnum ammo. It's a deadly combination while defending when you don't need the explosive damage perk on the RPG to take out mcoms.

For assault, was bored with the AN-94, so been trying out the Aug..it's great for CQB, but really lacks the stopping power of the Abakan/M16A2 over longer distances...tends to only wound seriously rather than kill.

played some with Gully last night

joined in the middle of game, and our team was getting owned hard....started off 14/2, felt pretty good!!

Thanks.I bought it for that price.In spite of not being awful impressed since the demo,hell i needed an alternative for being a bf2 burnout and the frostbite engine effects were pretty cool.

 

[Bandit1]

I see its been patched some,lol.Don't freak if you think the updater is broken.

I think there is some problem with the download actually working for me via ea downloader.All the other games i have done this with i should NOT be prompted to start the game with a serial which does'nt exist when using this method.edited:use digital rights code add dashes,works fine.Guess it's needed.

Welcome to the club, Bandit! Let us know your in-game name for the Callsign thread.
You can learn tons about the game by reading back through this thread. Just about every thing there is to know is here!
Or if you are lazy (or short on time), just ask!

 

[Zargon]

def watch the vids

 

[bunnyfubbles]

Hey Gully I forgot to ask, how did you like my repair tool?

The buzz of the EA UK Forums is this thread where an "unknown" poster, registered since 2006, claims he has an inside source at DICE that told him of impending NEW maps for BFBC2. People want to believe.
We Report. You Decide. :|

all I know is that there are 4 maps coming...yes, before Vietnam.

Got a source in Sweden at DICE. I am just a messenger that wants to let the community know that they are actually working over there at DICE. DICE really wants to surprise you all but imo they are taking too long. I personally have known this source for many years and he/she talks to me time to time on TS. He/She gave me the scoop and I had to let the community know just a hint as to want is to come. DICE may have fibbed, but it's a good fib. Again there are no Guarantees. Who knows if they will release them at all they can always change their mind, but they are def planning to according to my source.

well it looks like i am not making a big enough impact on the community. There will be two BC1 maps and two BFBC2 single player maps converted to multiplayer in either the next map pack or the one after it. But definitely before Vietnam.

It's for real, they made it happen, the single player maps are done. And the BC1 maps are still being worked on. I just got off the phone with my source, and he/she said they are 100% planning this, and may reveal just before Tokyo Game Show...Vietnam will be playable at the Tokyo EA office showcase on the floor. A trailer is done and will be shown soon.

Yea free/VIP, it will be in a new patch/mappack, in either the next one or the one after, there is no confirmed date.

Hey Gully I forgot to ask, how did you like my repair tool?

You're one sneaky MF'er...I was totally prepared for you the SECOND time and you still came out out of nowhere! Arggh!
At least I still retain possession of my dogtags...watch your back...:ninja:

On the EA UK forums, DICE community manager zh1nt0 got JoeGrant, the DICE QA manager, to answer a few questions posed by the community. As per usual, after requesting everything under the sun, they were un-appeased with a few morsels:

How come VOIP is still not working? Why isn't it working. Planning a fix?
Yes there is a problem with VOIP and we are aware of it. There are things we are working on at the moment and whilst we want to solve VOIP we are currently concentrating on the Hitbox issue first. After that we will see.

Is it possible to add new maps to the game?
Yes... the system does support the addition of new maps. This is a fishing question, as you know there is new content coming as part of Vietnam. We have a system that can support additional content. I am not at liberty to reveal what the overall plan is.

Blue chat box? Some people see it, some people don't. Explain please!
After talking to Kalms... It is present all the time. Now, whether it is visible depends on whether you have bloom enabled, and what brightness/contrast settings you have in-game. With the default settings, it is hardly visible (a quick check around the office turns out that it is invisible on most machines).

Why is there almost no link between the story of Bad Company 1 and 2 ?
What happened with Miss July and the Legionnaire ?
There was an intentional tone change.

Will there be further performance improvements done to the game?
As said, we have several things we are looking at. Hitbox is a big thing right now but there will probably be more adjustments made around the release of Vietnam. We can't yet say what they will be. General performance is not something we are concentrating on.

I don't know about you, but I'd rather they work on VOIP than hit boxes.
