might have to get this. demo didn't really impress though.

 

[Giant Wooden Badger]

How/when do you get the red dot for the Assault class?

Hated the demo. Love the game.

 

[Mad Cow]

How/when do you get the red dot for the Assault class?

I think it is around 14k assault points.

 

[Mad Cow]

Just checked on PC and it is indeed 14k for RDS for assault. I am 18K from magnum, and have a little bit of time to burn this PM. Might have to run medic to get my points rolling faster.

 

[Meat]

apparently we got a patch yesterday fixing some connection and browser issues. didnt get a chance to play and i'll be gone till saturday night. oh well. happy hunting.

That's good news... I had all kinds of weird issues on the 360 last night - disconnects, game actually FROZE, and even a crash to XBox dashboard...Looking forward to the class add-ons tomorrow... may be a bit corny for just an outfit, but hey I like any additional customization.

Is the 360 getting DLC tomorrow? Interesting.

Eh, not so much a 'full' DLC apparently Dr. Pepper has some sort of promotion going where you can put in codes to unlock additional uniforms/camo for each class.

 

[TLEF316]

they announced alternate skins for all the classes a few days ago. Apparently they are tied to certain weapons. i think thats seperate from the Dr. pepper promotion.

They all look kinda similar to the default. the only think that i liked is that the Russian medic loses his red "shoot me" hat.

Dang, gonna have to push my wife to get some Dr Pepper I guess.

Any idea when they come to the PC?FWIW I tried the M60 with the 4X scope without magnum, since I am still 17k from it, and Holy crap, it is pretty deadly. I was rolling with a 1.5 K/D ratio without magnum. I am excited to see what I can do WITH magnum. Medic is kinda like a drug. You feel bad doing it, but you roll up points so fast and easy with it, it makes it hard to think about other classes.

 

[Mad Cow]

Man, I think I am a total I am sitting here pondering a 2nd 5850 to go Crossfire on this game. I would need to bump up the PSU though. . .

would you really need it? I know i'm not maxing out settings or playing at 1080P resolution, but i find it hard to believe you'd really need that kind of hardware to get big performance on this one.

Of course I wouldn't need it. But I WANT it.

 

[Mad Cow]

8k to 15 and MAGNUM!™

I am 12 kills away from my 2nd gold star with the M60, so 1-2 rounds and MAGNUM!™ is mine

 

[Mad Cow]

BTW Anyone know how they calculate Skill score? I have no idea. I am at 153 and have no idea what that means.

 

[Giant Wooden Badger]

BTW Anyone know how they calculate Skill score? I have no idea. I am at 153 and have no idea what that means.

Curious about this too. I noticed that I'm much higher than a few people on my friends list that are pretty far ahead in rank and total kills.

I have a feeling it has to do with total score, squad points, and time played, as from what I can see, I am sitting at 153, with Corp next at 123 with FBG's, and he is a medic whore like myself. People that do not do much squad point stuff tend to be very low.

 

[mcintyre1]

Sorry to ask for repeat material, but I don't feel like searching through the thread for this:

Does anyone have a list of FBG PC players? I'm getting bored with random groupings, and I'd love to team up with some of you guys. Need to buy a headset though.

[Mad Cow]

If I missed anyone, please let me know. There is also GatorShawn - Gator Shawn, but he has yet to even play a round.

Man, we are missing a few from BF2. Goldenchild, Courtjester, Senor Schmutzig, etc. We had a HUGE BF2 crowd for a time.

 

[Mad Cow]

Hey Meat, we miss you being the PC gamer from our BF2 posse as well.

 

[Mad Cow]

One last thing for now, Corp, tell Baron I was finally able to resend him a Steam invite after a full-on malfunction for some reason.

 

[Meat]

Hey Meat, we miss you being the PC gamer from our BF2 posse as well.

Seeing as BFBC2 is on sale for $40 I may go right ahead and nab it for PC as well.... quite temping. I can already see this game (hopfeully) having the same longevity BF2 did. BF2142 didn't quite do it for me, but I LOVE this so far. Amazed I was disappointed with it at first, glad I gave it some time to grow on me!

Would love to have you. We have a pretty solid group of gamers for the PC in this game. 8 pretty regular ones, with potential to get 10-12. Imagine 3 full FBG squads in a server. . .Speaking of which, this game needs an auto-balance. I get so tired of whiny tools switching because they are losing and ending up in rounds that are 10 people vs 22. That sucks.

Same here. I was thinking it had something to do with score-per-minute, but I think you're right that squad score is in there as well. I'm currently at 162 despite a K/D of 0.92, so K/D obviously isn't a factor.

My score per minute isn't that high nor is my squad score, but my skill score is 400+ and it seems to fluctuate a lot (anywhere from 200 to 700). Just comparing my stats to others on my friends list it's not easy to see what might be driving it. I have a high rank, but my skill was actually higher when I was lower rank. I have a higher K/D ratio, but as that ratio has gone up the skill score has still jumped around a lot. It could have something to do with the rank of the people you kill or get killed by. That's a component in a lot of CS-Source based games and I think in BF2. I suppose it could also be a more short-term measure and not really have much to do with cummulative stats.There are people that I would consider much better than me with lower skill scores so I'm not really sure what it means

 

[madshot31]

BTW Anyone know how they calculate Skill score? I have no idea. I am at 153 and have no idea what that means.

On xbox it is ranked 1-201 with only one person at a given time at 201. So I'm guessing it has a set amount of people at each rank that move up and down due to w/l, kills, and points per minute. It seems really random because I am usually ranked 184-193 the past week but between games sit will say I have been dropped down to 113 or 142 or 65 and then it will be back up again after the game. Also you can have a better k/d and points per minute and be much lower than a friend. So who knows.

 

[mcintyre1]

Whoops, forgot to add myself on there. I believe my gamertag is Bulletbait86 (that or Bulletbait, I can't remember if I got my usual tag or not). I'll be on later tonight to see.

I sent you an ingame invite.

 

[Maelstrom]

You guys getting those stats in-game or from the website? I found bfbcs.com and everyone I tried to search for just said added to queue (which means probably be available soonish, Mael5trom didn't take that long.)

My skill level is -157...guess I need to be a lot more careful

The player you searched is currently not in our database.We tried to add your search request to our queue, but the queue is full at 100 requests. Please try again later.

We are currently not able to search new PS3 and XBOX360 players.

 

[Mad Cow]

If I can get 1 knife kill, 2 Pro Pipe™ kills and 5 M60 kills this next round, it is poised to be huge with 3 stars coming my way.

 

[TLEF316]

love that stats site. unfortunately, it doesn't list how many deaths you have with each weapon. i'd love to know my k/d ratio with each gun

 

[Mad Cow]

Well let's call that a personal best round. Just over 27k Got 3 gold stars and the 10k award for 5 gold stars, then about 2k of medic'ing. Got magnum and went from almost 15 to almost 16 now.

I can rest happy now.

Pork_Johnson - Nick Vermeil

GatorShawn - Gator Shawn

DucatiBaron - Mark Davis Baron

ETA yes, I put it on the first page as well.

Added Baron as well. I still need TLEF, Baron and DisCoDoc to accept my BC2 friend invites that I have sent several times. Man their friend list things suck.

Fixed.Baron doesn't post here much (I think 8 total posts all in the BF2 thread).

Mark Davis is Rip Van Stamp from BF2. He's picking up the game soon but hasn't played yet.

Around the net people are calling it pretty useless. Apparently it recalculates based on the rank of the person you kill and who kills you. It's a moving target, so if you get killed by a noob who never plays again, it will hurt you. If you kill a level 30, it helps you.I didn't care at all about k/d ratio while I was trying to gather points. I'm now on a march to an even ratio. It will take awhile Last I saw TLEF and Disco (jonessed) had skill levels in the 180s, I think 200 is max.

I still need friend invites from both of them, as well.

I've been really jealous of y'all in this thread, especially considering I don't have a machine that could run this. I was thinking about upgrading my desktop but my recent relocation (I'm living in a hotel for the next 3 months) has got me thinking that maybe a souped-up laptop may work out better.

I was looking around today and found this one: Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q860

Processor*

Intel® Core™ i5-430M processor

Operating System*

Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)

Graphics Engine*

NVIDIA® GeForce® 360M

Graphics Memory*

2298MB total: 1GB GDDR5 discrete memory + up to 1274MB shared memory w/NVIDIA® TurboCache™ technology

Memory*

4GB DDR3 1066MHz memory

Hard Drive*

500GB HDD (7200rpm)

The thing is a rock (10+ lbs.) but does it have enough juice to run BFBC or anything else I throw at it? MC?I can get it for around $1100 so it's not going to cost an arm and a leg like some of those Alienware machines.

Can I offer a different possibility with more power? possibly less moneyNow that I look at it, it seems that the 360M gpu is brand new. I have no idea what it is capable of, but I am willing to bet that it will definitely play this game pretty well.

Get in the game, Senor!

Apparently it's an overclocked version of the GT215 What else were you thinking about?I'm still early in the process of searching things out but I have a feeling my need for frags is going to overcome my concern about getting the "very best" and I'll just buy something that appears to be near the top at the pricepoint I'm looking for (~$1200 tops)

 

[biggamer3]

Just got in on the 360, really bad at it, no idea what is going on in the Multiplayer

 

[Maelstrom]

[madshot31]

Good stuff, that's one thing they did great on in this game. Making the explosive kill radius not huge like other games to take away the cheap feel to them.

It's nice when it works but yes it kind of sucks right now for sure! I have been playing too but since the friends list being wiped I lost the FBG's I previously had listed. I have sent several invites but I think that is messed up for me too. For some reason the friends that I do have listed are people who sent invites to me.CNUTZ - [FHA] CNUTZ

You might consider a GT260M then if the 360M is just an OC'd 215. Let me look . . .Well, it seems that this will play BC2 based on reviews, so I say go for it. I could not find a better price on a similar value.

They need to fix the server issues. Was having a great match this AM and lost the connection to the server. When I was finally able to get back on I checked my stats and didn't get credit for anytthing from it.

I do finally have a positive KD though.

I played a bit this AM. Woke up at 4:30 and couldn't get back to sleep. I think you were around 184. I was around 153 and Manback was around 96. Still don't understand how it works since he's played more, has a higher rank, and has more kills than I do.
