Hey - turns out IRC is out and something a little more modern has taken it's place... A little thing called Discord!

Maybe because it was for consoles only?
Sure it has bugs. What game/software doesn't.
My beef with EA (and probably Dice) is that they rush games to release and then don't give a crap about fixing the bugs or improving the game once people have bought it.
They just start working on The Next Big Thing™ because they've already got your money.
The only time i've not experienced this was with Value and Team Fortress 2 - regardless of what you think about the game - they are still releasing bug fixes and enhancements for it even though they haven't got anymore money from me.
I like the look of Bad Company 2, the only thing which reallys puts me off is how buggy and bloated all of the previous EA:Battlefield series has been.. bought BF1942, BF2, BF2142 and they didn't fix the major flaws in their game at anytime I played them. I got frustrated and tried to make an effort not to buy anymore EA stuff.
But their marketing and buzz department is so good it's hard not to want it from the demos and trailers.
pffffffff not even released yet... and already patch download... ARG!
Well my first thought at this game was: IT SUCKS! Not worth any money to buy it...
But at a second try i got better with it, still not my favourit but hey some fun and not worst game ever. Maybe the sentence "Game experience will change during online gameing!" is true and I just need some time to discover the fun...
Fist of all EA released this game too early again... i mean it runs 100% stable at my system but there is a major bug with pings. BFBC2 has pings 70-180 at all servers... thats total bullshit. Sure some servers could have high ping but not ALL, and its everyone not only me... (comparing to BF2142 i have Ping 16-70 at EU servers)
There are no dedicated servers for Bad Company 2. EA is hosting all of them, unlike BF2142 where you can rent and host your own servers
Yes, EA are providing the servers to hosting companies such as gameservers 4players. They don't own the servers, they just rent them like a normal person!Thats wrong Maxiz ! It give dedicated Server for Bad Company 2 and u can also hire them .
For example : http://gameserver.4players.de/layout_gameserver-bestellen.html?select_tarif_id=52
And my Ping on Some Servers is 20-50 , EU server , The best one i found was Hostet in Frankfurt / germany
This is true IF you played other less realistic game before. When you move your screen and weapon moves as well not to mention BF was never a Run'N'Gun game so running and shooting at the same time makes your gun mega inaccurate. . It's a matter of getting used to it.Well my first thought at this game was: IT SUCKS! Not worth any money to buy it...

I have no idea what they did with pings. I don't know if they are real or bugged client side showing higher pings. There was no pings at all in beta.Fist of all EA released this game too early again... i mean it runs 100% stable at my system but there is a major bug with pings.

So its real hard giving HS...
I can't agree on this with you. Just like in BF2142 standard weapons are good enough. I just unlocked AUG and i was really horny for this gun as i love it in Combat Arms however i got very disappointed. It should be one hell of a pownage riffle but the truth is it's not THAT much different then any other Assault Riffle including those standards.And i think the game is very unbalanced... going online at servers with console players is like hell... At first start you have crap weapons and no real chance at the battleground... after some unlocks you may survive long enuff to kill some enemys... But the console players have just too many experience and unlocks to hunt you down even if they totaly suck in skill.... (comparing to 2142 there you start with some really usefull weapons and can do good without any unlock...)
It's not that bad. I wasn't happy at first but then i played BF2142 again few times and changed my mind quickly. Dice said they removed prone to avoid "dolphin diving" tactics which i personally hate and it's being abused in all BF's. Now i don't see this any more in BC2 and i'm happy.Then i totaly miss:
prone - why can't soldiers do that in BFBC2? only crouch... wtf?
Totally. Why the fak they removed it i don't understand. This automatic Q right now sux in every possible aspect. You may see someones head and you can try to spot him but you may end up breaking your keyboard because there is some gay anti-Q-spam shit which prevents spot spam BUT it also fooks valid spots by ... not spoting.Communication menue - like in BF2142, giving out taunts like "thanks", "go there" and "need backup" would be nice... why not? Also spotting is only if you lock on enemy? Why, wtf... jus manually say "watchout sniper there..." is needed to stay in cover
weapon balance - some weapons are much too powerfull, some are totaly useless... i've already seen machine guns doing much better long range shots than any rifle... also engineers seem to be so overpowerd... havin Anti-Tank and very good rifles... wtf...
say to squad - you can chat ALL and TEAM but to squad dind't work... hmpf
I don't know and i don't like that bloom effect as well.What i not figured out/and dislike:
the bluring effekt is good looking... also all this shaking and grafic effecs but hell they just disturb you from aiming... i changed the settings to LOW (with isn't big diffrence) but it already maykes it easier to game and spot enemys...
All snow maps suffer from too much bluring... they are like Verdun in BF2142... crap to play...
Howto disable crap russian sound? I already hated that at BF2142 but ther you ccan disable it...
LOL we reported that bug with STOP sign in closed beta tests and they didn't fixed it ^^And of course this game is full of Bugs, you can destroy a bulding with you tank but get stuck at a STOP sign...
Also you can't run someone over with a Tank... gj...
and and and....
btw the awards in BFBC2 are crappy too... anyone will get them all... even if he sucks... just play long enuff and you'll get it... in BF2142 it was relly a pushing element... someone who has the War College Ribbon knows how to play... someone who has a TitanDestruction Gold Bage knows how to attack...
Going for some Awards was allways big fun and sometimes envolved a full squad to give 1 person a special award... and the teamplay in that squad was just perfect...
In BFB2 theres really rare teamplay...
It's not that bad. Unlimited stamina comes handy when you have to run from one end of the map to another. Can't really complain about it.Ah yeah 1 more thin i totaly not understand... Why can soldiers run ALL the time? It's like you can do marathon with just full combat equip... ?
Anyway i', back to the game now...
derZ
Yeah well i forgot most time the bullet drop... now HS is much better, but i find it still very unbalanced... sometimes i hardly can see someone i want to snipe, and hes shooting me with an machine gun.. wtf?
Most annoying i couldn't connect to masterserver at friday evening... wtf?
As i checked your BF2142 Brajan i see that you have most awards, but still your missing:
15 Titan drops in one Round... omg that award is so hard to get even with a squad helping you...
Most difficult award "War College Ribbon" you'll never get it and i started a new soldier to finally get it...
But in BFBC2 its just like you'll get the awards... you never have to go for a iOR... i played many more rounds in BF2142 just to get the iOR requirment... i remeber failing Awards just by one Kill, then i tried even harder next round... but hey also you get satisfied when you make it finally...
@brajan whats the AUG? really have no idea...
For BFBC2 i think the Engineer is far ahead of any class, just use the Antitank vs soldiers and its like you have much more granates... then you have also very good rifles... really a sniper has no chance even at long distance..
(this maybe will change with lower pings - but pings are so high that you can't aim... you have to aim into movement AND 170 ping... no way)
so long... i'll install BF2142 tonight again, maybe i'll play that or BFCB2..

My goodnes Brajan, fanboy much?
