This is pretty much how I felt the first time I played BF2 from 1942. Knowing how much I loved BF2, though, I am willing to bet as I play this more and more, I am going to love it. Because it is one map and one mode of play, the games have pretty much devolved into sniper and nade spams at certain choke points. It will get better. I hope to be able to get into the choppers and fly soon. I have not been able to as of yet.Give it time and I bet it improves greatly with experience.
Played a round or two last night with Maelstrom. Voice chat conked out midway through the first round. Still losing 1 on 1 gunfights when both guys see each other at the same time. Assault rifles seem SUPER deadly. Especially the XM8 unlock. I vehicle whored my way to a first place finish in one of the rounds.I like how the AA vehicle works. Driver gets a limited grenade launcher while the gunner gets to fire the main AA guns. That's going to make mobile AA very deadly.
It seemed like stats were working for me. I was getting unlocks, ranking up and getting pins and medals.
go to the gadgets and weapons section in the menu. It tells you how many points you need to unlock each item.You get the X8 pretty early, but you can only get it by playing and getting kills with the assault kit. You cant get it by simply using the kit while driving a tank.You have to earn the points using the actual equipment.At what point does the next assault rifle unlock? I have played far too many rounds in servers with no stats, I am afraid.
I got all my BF2 logins registered, but it is saying my 2142 login is bad.
i had a problem with that too. Then i remembered that i added an extra 6 to the end of my 2142 name. it went though.I got all my BF2 logins registered, but it is saying my 2142 login is bad.
It is not giving me credit for my Gamertag for some reason with the BC1 demo.
same thing happened with me. then i remembered that i only played the Beta, not the demo.
I have not linked my Gamertag to my Ea account apparently. Too much hassle.
What processor would that include?
I just specc'd out an i5 system for a neighbor that is a very good friend for about $760 here:
I could do $400 or so with an AMD CPU and lesser GPU if you have case and a few other things.
Is it me or does the grenade launcher have almost no splash damage?
very little from what i've seen. But its not THAT bad. If you hit a gun shooting from a window, he usually dies. The rocket launchers are worse though. Last night i flanked the enemy and got into the attic at the 2nd set of MCOM stations. An entire squad was hiding behind a pile of crates next to the main road. I fired a Rocket right into the group. They were all within 5-10 feet of the impact site. None of them saw it coming. Only one died. Of course, i fired 2 more rockets and wiped the whole squad out (they werent very smart) but it should have only taken 1.
When it only takes 1 grenade/rocket it's called "OP and N00btubing" and when it takes 2 it's unrealistic! Make up your minds people.
OHAI!
As long as I see a little x that shows me I did something. I'm still gettting a feel for the range of the launcher, especially the vehicle based one in the Mobile AA
Oh man, I told you guys I had one we could use for free. We just haven't really been taking advantage of it. Also Fraghaus's Teamspeak 3.0 sounded really nice.Had fun last night though even though voice wasn't working. We cleaned up our rounds. I had another Gold Star (whatever the new equivalent is)FBG Battelfield Ventrilo Server set up
I can understand that. I'll login there from now on when I play. I might suggest you take that info down though and distribute it via PMS. there are people who enjoy going onto un-secured vents and harassing people.Hopefully the audio codes on this vent are good. I know there's a different by provider.
if we get harassed I'll password it and send the password around via PM'sI can understand that. I'll login there from now on when I play.

I know there's a different by provider.I saw some discussions on free chat options but no links or further action and liked the idea of a chat option just for FBG'sso I created the Vent server. Its pretty cheap, less than $20.00 for 6 months so its no big deal if it doesn't get used
OHAI. HOW RU?!?!?!
its not the game. its the 3rd party VOIP thats causing me problems. i got it semi-working. And honestly, i'll trade a little issue like that for all the benefits of PC gaming. the server browser and aiming with a mouse more than make up for the extra troubleshooting that comes with a new release.
I'm good. How about yourself?Just never realized all the work that went into playing FPS on PC these days.... you guys have to keep your PCs up to date, pay for a server, and then find somewhere to host voice chat? I understand all that work is to make sure you have less than 10ms of lag, but just seems like so much hassle.
To each his own. All this just goes to show why consoles will always be around because most people are like me in regards to gaming... we just want to plug and play.
i play console games too, but they come with their own issues.
It's worth it not to have to deal with the percentages of jackasses that I see on XBox Live. Plus, PC communities are so much more loyal due to the maturity and work that has to be put into the games.

Basic setup is pretty much plug and play. There are a lot of other options that you can use if you want but you don't need to. The one option I like about Vent is that you can individually adjust volume so you can turn the loud screamers down and the quiet chucklers up.
K, so Maelstrom gets tweaked up and Corp down then?Basic setup is pretty much plug and play. There are a lot of other options that you can use if you want but you don't need to.
