Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Thread

I want to play some Squad Rush but none of my friends got the Gamestop pre-order with me. Sucks bad cause I love playing rush now (I used to hate it at first).

that’s happened a lot to me. hit detection is retarded in this game especially when you empty about half a clip on someone and they’re still alive. then while you’re reloading or switching weapons you die. knife sucks ass in this game too. one time i was disarming a crate and a guy walks in and knifes me from the opposite side of the crate. i was surprised it reached so i tried doing it the next time i saw someone arming/disarming a crate and it didn’t work. don’t know how he did it.

I’ve been playing a lot of Recon lately and holy shit that class has so much shit goin on. I’m beginning to sorta disagree with the frontlines recon idea everyones talking about I agree when you play recon you are not a sniper but you can still snipe. I’ve playing long range recon to get a feel for the class and it seems pretty effective the way I’ve been playin it.

I usually sit back and spot like a mofo. I never shoot my rifle unless I see another recon and if we got tanks I shoot at engineers I usually mortar big groups/choke pts or if there’s thick brush I mortar the trees for better LOS. I remember playing rush on one of the artic maps I was defending on our 2nd base the other team had a grip of high lvl 20s when we had a mixture of 9-15 guys. But I singlehandedly held the east side of our base with just spotting and selective sniping/ mortaring they bled like 20 tickets trying to get through me. :lol: I think I got an ace pin that game too

but I could be wrong I’m still getting a feel for it I’m going to try a rapeface kit once I feel comfortable playing the class.

Btw I’m I the only that’s completely dropped the sidearm for a taser pistol? Too many benefits to lighting up tanks IMO.

I agree with your style of playing Recon. That’s how my friend plays it, and he’s quite good at it. I haven’t really considered the taser pistol though.

Just sent my first BC2 commentary to Machinima Respawn. Fingers crossed they choose to use it, it took 6 hours to upload :lol:

I’m really digging the engineer class. More specifically, RPG’s and the AKS-74U. The AKS does reasonable damage like most SMG’s but is a bit more accurate, plus there is something strangly satisfying about wasting a full clip on gunning down enemies and then pulling out your RPG to blow up the tank behind them.

I never find I can get the chance to advance my Recon class due to plenty of my team mates already using it. 1 sniper added on to the 8 already isn’t going to get us that M-COM station.

I maxed recon without being a sniper. Only sniper rifle I used was the first one. I used the rifle to look and make sure an area is clear and advance forward. I scout for the team but the bread and butter of my recon class is the c4. I maxed my recon class so fast with c4. It’s money when I sneak into enemy territory and plant c4 on their vehicle, then I see my c4 moving around the map and I know it’s time. It’s stupid I didn’t have to kill more than 20 enemies with the rifle to max recon. I also used the m1a1 and shotgun but like to stick with a sensored rifle for scouting.

Hmmmm I just made over 55k points in 2 rush games and completed a few Insignias too along with a few gold stars for my G3 and Rex pistol. When I quit playing with my friends I went to check out my stats and NONE of it saved up… None of my insignias are there, my new gold stars aren’t there and I was very close to level 26 (about 1k away) but now im back down to where I was before on the exp bar. This sucks lol :lol: but the games were epic as hell :smiley:

On a side note, I love Medic class with body armor, heal kit range and my G3 + Rex pistol (this is on hardcore not normal mode).

If you want some cool BC2 sigs, right here: http://bfbc2.elxx.net/getsigs/pc/sigg-o-matic.php

You can even upload your own pic and sig it. Sorry if its been posted before.

Yeah I’ve tried that, it’s pretty damn fun, but I still love the 870 for some reason.

I usually play each class depending on the situation and my squad, doing what’s necessary for a win rather than score. I’ve found if a side sucks ass, just to get out some c4 with imp. demolitions and just blow the fuck outta a m-com station with a friend since if done right we can get the station in 1 shot. If I’m alone I either go assault with the m4 or recon with the barrett and try and spot people so that we can clear out m-com stations or defend etc.

Definitely not. The +30 points is priceless as often has it can happen. I never use pistols
anymore. I started doing this in the beta even…

~K.

The ns2000 and Gustav are ridiculous.

I use tracer depending on the map. But there are countless times where I’ve been saved by the good ol’ pistol. I think I’ve got triple gold stars on the 1911.

haha, people are catching on. Game is starting to play like quake

i love quake style game play :slight_smile: .

anyway , have you encounter any opponent player that does very impossible fast point-blank shot kill at you ?
i’ve been encountering that in BF2 . for god sake , it’s an RPK machine gun from 25 foot away .

Just oc’ed my i5 to 3,8 GHz from stock and got a measly 10 fps gain out of it, lol.

Hasn’t seen it posted yet, but Den’s site was updated. Sooner or later the charts in the forums will hopefully be updated as well to make it even easier to glance at to see what you want.

Hey guys, will I be missing out on anything if I buy the standard and not the Limited Edition of BF2?

The only thing the LE came with was the unlock codes for specs. you get as you level up anyway. This may also be tied to your VIP status (identical in form and function ot the Cerberus Network of Mass Effect 2), but I think the LE was just the unlocks.

The only thing you really need to worry about it getting a new copy of the game so you get the VIP code for free, otherwise buying a used copy of the game means paying $15 for a DLC VIP code (just like buying the Cerberus Network for ME2 when you don’t get it new, once again). This matters because you access the store to get the free DLC and future paid DLC via your VIP code.

TL,DR => Make sure it’s a new copy that comes with a fresh (unused) VIP code. Otherwise nothing else matters.

Anyone can further explain the tracer to me? It’s a bitch to hit choppas with. I hate when choppas MOW down my team.

Only gun that isn’t affected by gravity (fires in a completely straight line), and fires kinda slowly. You’ll have to get a feel for how much you need to lead vehicles with it but it’s very useful if you can land it. Upon sticking it you get +30 points and all Engis with rocket launchers that support tracer technology (the RPG-7 AT and the M2 Carl Gustav) will see the tank from wherever they are as a red square. It will also give rockets fired at the tank a guiding system which makes it much harder for the tank to get out of the way.

The medic makes the most use of the tracer gun. Having 100/200 bullets in a clip makes it so you usually don’t need to switch to your sidearm as another line of defense. The Engineer (a class you’d think would love to equip this gun) usually hurts himself with it because his guns have relatively small clips with a VERY high rate of fire. It’s insanely easy to run out of ammo as an engi and you NEED to be able to pull out that 1911 to defend against people a lot of the time. The recon should almost never use it if he’s also using a sniper rifle, he probably won’t land the dart anyways and he’ll look like a fool anytime anyone gets near him.

I’m looking for a player to squad up with me and a couple of my friends on vent. We’re running 3-deep right now in squad death match but we want to have a whole squad talking to each other for squad rush. Send me a PM or message me on Steam (I’m Irennicus) or whatever.

Iren, I would but my mic is fucked up lol.
