I still have yet to explore the Special Forces update as well. I played so little of that it is embarrassing. I wonder if they optimized that at all?

i didnt even install special forces on my new computer. The performance was just terrible. some of the maps were fun though.

If they would have implemented the SF items like the crossbow and such to the regular maps, wow.
 
I have about 4-5 guys from my neighborhood all jumping on some server tonight with a TS channel. I will check here and give info where we are if anyone else wants some.

 
Reporting for duty.Just re-loaded BF2 and realized that my skills have not sharpened in the 1+ years since I have played. I still suck.
Ditto on this man. I loaded it up the other day and got smoked again and again. Bunch of cheaters if you ask me. Or my skills have degraded to the point I need retire. Nah, cheaters! Bastards!
There are definitely some hack programs available now for BF2 (probably been out for a while?) Was on the other night, and no admins on the server, and this guy was being real obvious about it. Running as a medic, with the LA#### gun, fire a burst and 3-5 people would be dead. It started glitching on him at some point though, cause he started smoking his own team as well ;P He finally got booted either by an admin who logged on or automated process, not sure which. I don't know how you would get caught though, using something like this as a sniper and keeping at range. Some days I can be on when sniping, and seems like every shot I take is a kill (most of the time I just suck at it, btw, or find out it was a team mate I just shot...doh.) But if you were sparing on your kills (most of those programs let you turn it on and off also) and were playing a class like sniper which is a high-kill to shot ratio anyways, it'd be hard to tell. Not that I would use one, but there must be some internal processes that check for programs hooking into the game program to help with aiming and such.Oh yah, heading in now to play for a little while before bed.

some good info recently about Bad Company 2 for those that are following along.

They're gonna release a limited edition (same price) that includes 6 special unlocks. Everyone can get them eventually, but you get them for free.

- 45 caliber pistol

- M1A1 machine gun (ww2 weapon, not sure what the point of this is)

- some sort of motion censor/HUD upgrade for tanks (sort of like a UAV for vehicles. it appears to let you see some enemies through walls)

- upgraded armor for tanks

- upgraded tanks weapons (some sort of heavy caliber secondary machine gun for the driver)

- tracer pistol for infantry. (attaches a homing device onto enemy vehicles that allows you to blind fire a rocket and still hit them.

Hopefully they limit ow many upgrades you can use at a time when you're in a tank. it would really suck if you are allowed to have all 3 at once.

Totalbf2.com has a promotional video demonstrating these items on the front page. graphics and effects still look awesome. I really hope they do some sort of pre-release beta.

I have such high hopes for this game. There's some game play footage coming out and the maps look pretty big and very interesting.

 
also.

We could probably just change this to the official Battlefield thread unless the need arises to create seperate threads.

 
Where do the limited editions come from? For my bday in 2 weeks, I was just gonna tell someone to preorder this for me. I would like to get all I can. :hey:

just regular stores from what i read. My guess is most gamestops will accept a pre-order if you make it early enough. However, 4 months early might be too early (Woo hoo. only 4 months awaY!!!)Cant wait to take 2 days off after release and play this :cry:

Looks pretty awesome! I might have to reserve it somewhere local if I can guarantee to get the limited edition.

 
BTW - Anyone getting CoD:MW2 for PC or 360? I know a lot of people are pissed at Infinity Ward, with good reason. I am just considering it for a primer.

i just cant see myself getting it. It looks too arcadey and will be overrun with the early teenage Xbox HALO crowd. I anticipate a whole lot of bunny hopping. I'm playing FIFA right now and should be getting Assasins Creed 2 and Uncharted 2 in the next few weeks. Combine this with a college hoops game (The new EA game if they fixed dynasty mode) and i should be good on games through March (or earlier if Bc2 has a Beta). Of course, i've still got bf2 and 1943 to fill my onlne shooter fix if needed.

Damn them for not releasing 1943 for PC. :fro:

Yeah, but not till the time BF:BC2 is released. Why would I get 1943?BTW - the Limited Edition will be had on ALL preorders through Gamestop. Gonna go reserve that tomorrow I think.
 
Lead producer Gordon Van Dyke confimed that there will be no prone in Bc2 for any platform.

Some on the forum geeks are freaking out, but i'm not that broken up. Yeah, it hurts snipers, but it also eliminates belly flopping and speeds the game up.

The one that concerns me is that it will make it hard to find cover from vehicles. When every building is fully destroyable, us infantry guys will need all the help we can get.

Good enough. I am reserving it today at Gamestop for the unlocks.

Count me in for BC2.
 
Amazon has the LE now as well, and is showing the release date as JANUARY 26th!! :lmao:
no way. They say March in every interview.
It does say January. When has Amazon ever been right wrong?
I'm not saying it doesnt say january, but every interview with the devs says march. SOme of the sites are starting to report a december or January beta. Yeah, i'd probably have to get in on that.
What would be awesome is if they gave beta preference to players who had achieved a certain level in either BF2 or BF2142.

that would be alright with me. The only thing that might suck about that is if most of the Beta testers were tank/helo jockies.(the majority of the high ranks in Bf2) There'd be a whole lot of "OMG that tracking pistol is ovepowered!!" and infantry guys like myself would get the shaft.

I was playing Wake today and was USMC. I was AT and hunkered into that bunker by the China radar, with full view of the jet. I think 3 times in a row, one of the jet whores jumped in a jet, only to die immediately at the hands of my rocket. :unsure: That was the best. The game was over once I ran out of ammo and had to run back to south base to rejoin my squad there.

my brother used to take the 50 caliber sniper rifle and fly a jet from teh airfield to the carrier. He'd hide on top of the carrier and shoot all the pilots when they jumped into the cockpit. they would try to kill him, but he just kept laying claymores and they eventually gave up. (he'd call for resupply to reload) He thought it was hysterical.
 
Ps3 Beta starting on the 19th (if you pre-order).

PC open beta early december :goodposting:

Not gonna lie....pre-ordering the Ps3 version and then canceling later is pretty damn tempting.

If you figure out how to get into that, let me know. If I have to cancel at GS and preorder elsewhere, that is doable. ;)

i dont remember you having a PS3. 360 isnt getting a Beta. The PC beta will be open, so you dont have to do anything.
 
Hmm, I found all my old discs. Would I better off downloading the entire client somewhere than trying to patch up from the original install CDs?

Yeah, I was referring to the PC beta. Let us know if you see info on it.
 
OOOooh! I went in last night and got some.

Then I played some BF2 as well! Awesome. Ran a Karkand and Sharqi before succumbing to sleep.

 
I have formed a group of about 5-6 dads in my neighborhood that play every week or 2. I will post here when we jump on as well. We are anxiously awaiting BFBC2 as well.

 
Working a lot of nights right now, but still jump in for the occasional BF2 runs. I play a fair amount on the IMA infantry only server.

Looking forward to BC2, looks pretty sweet. I have to go look up those pre-orders, unless someone wants to post a link.
