a few things i hope they fix soon....- put the M-16 back the way it was pre-patch. Its a fun gun and nobody uses it anymore. Its the last unlock and there's no reason to choose it over the An-94- get rid of the invincibilty that someone has after being revived. Its so annoying when you kill someone, kill the person who runs to revive them and then they survive the last 10 bullets in your mag because they are invincible for the first few seconds after they come back to life. (only to calmly kill you as you re-load). It makes killing a full squad of medics virtually impossible without using the Hot Carl.

So true about the M16. It was not OP prepatch as it was. The 416 was a better gun. With the AN getting a nerf the M16 needs a bump. The 416 nerf is inevitable but I will keep riding that pony for now.

i dont think the 416 is gonna be nerfed. Its a good gun, but its not overpowered. Is it better than most guns? Sure. But just because a gun is better doesnt mean they have to neuter it. I honestly think its fair. Its not a pre-patch M60 or a post patch AN94. Top 5 gun for sure though. They should just put the M16 back the way it was. I want to use it again. Kinda feel like using the AUG as well. Havent used it since my gold star and i remember enjoying it.

Yeah, that Aug is a fun gun, but it flies through ammo. Might be worthwhile to experiment with the unlocks to see if there is one to give AR's a clip increase? I cannot remember right now, but I know there is one for shotties.ETA looks like no. That would be hot to increase mag load for an AR. I would strongly consider that over magnum.

 

[TLEF316]

at this point, you have to choose magnum. The only exception is if you spawn as an engy specifically to take out vehicles that are causing your team a problem.

they need to re-think the specializations or add more of them.

I also choose red dot for all guns. I could get used to the iron sites for some of them if i wanted to, but i'm just so much better with the red dot.

Agreed. The only time I don't choose magnum is as Engy when I feel like a little CG fun. Still a very effective weapon.

Anyone gonna be on tonight? I am hoping to. I am now 9 kills shy of positive 1.0 k/d. Ran Medic with the M60 today a couple of times and just owned.

They screwed up the assault rifles for no reason at all.

 

[Mad Cow]

Had a very good night. I am now 38 over the 1.0 K/D rate and am at 1.01. Working on medic to get that one class over 1.0 now, all others are like 1.08. I played reviva-medic too much at the beginning.

 

[TLEF316]

Just bought myself some toys to celebrate my new job (and the fact that I'll get a few severance paychecks and a nice little bonus from my old job)

Will be a bedroom TV also

Full HD gaming for everyone!!

Been thinking about getting a BIG TV (maybe a 50) for my living room and moving my 3 and a half year old 37 inch LCD into the BR, but this seems like the better solution. Saves me a bunch of $$ in the short term and I'll probably be able to hold off until the price point on the big LED's comes way down a few years down the road.

Plus now I have an awesome PC monitor (upgrading from a 22 inch samsung that i bought in October 07)

LOL, you were killin' it last night. After each round I think you were at the top of the board and I was at the bottom! I think I had one round that I finished over 1.0 though. Yay me.

Congrats on the new job! I'm at the beach but will resume killing fools tomorrow night.

Had some fun tonight rolling with spanky/barley/badger. I left at the end because I got booted once again and was having lag pretty consistently. Don't know whats up but it feels like how it was when the game launched with the lag. The update must of caused the servers some hiccups.

Had a great time running with you guys. I am still getting up to speed, I think I hit level 6 last night. But it was alot more fun to run with a few FBGs than a bunch of randoms.All in all a great time. I used my M1 Garand a little on the my engineer class and it was relatively effective, considering who was using it.

 

[Nick Vermeil]

How do the platinum stars work? I thought I was nearing the platinum for the M60 but I received a second Gold star. It was okay because I picked up a gold star for grenades and pistols too, so I had huge round! I'm 15k from level 15 and magnum ammo. I really love rush mode, unless I'm on a useless team.

your 10th gold star= platinum star.So you need 1000 kills with the M60 for the platinum star. So you'll get 5K a piece for gold stars 1-9 and then 10K for the platinum star. Been working on some really stupid awards. Trying to get the gold star for ground vehicles (not tanks) so i've been shooting off the back of 4 wheelers and parking Humvees on weird spots trying to get cheap kills. Just 15 more kills to go. Its just painful. I miss Strike at Karkand when you could mow down a whole squad with a well positioned HUMVEE. Still need one more payback pin. After that I just need like 150 more vehicle destructions, 99 Mine kills, ~70 MCOM destructions and another 10 hours played and i think i'll have all the awards (once they allow us to accumulate stars on the M1 garand)

its not that bad. If its a good gun and you're a decent shooter, it can go by prety quick.I think my M60 took like 11 hours of play time. I recently got the platinum for the overpowered AN-94. I think it took me around 10 hours.

might have overdone it with the 27 inch monitor

UNPOSSIBLE!BTW played a round of Rush on Arica with only about 16 players. Got a nemesis at the 2nd to last set of MCOMs. Sought him out as quickly as I could to get the retribution as I only needed one more for the pin and got him about 2 seconds before the last MCOM blew.

 

[TLEF316]

Now, when I'm playing.....i actually have to try not to be looking at the screen. It pretty much swallows me.

Bumped up all the settings all the way up. Frame rate is rock solid and the textures look so much smoother. Loving it so far.

I have a 32" monitor But I don't have your video card :(

 

[TLEF316]

anybody still playing?

Spent yesterday trying to get my 100 kills with mines.

Thats a PITA. I thought i would get credit if i shot one of my mines while an enemy soldier was near it. Unfortunatly, those kills get credited to the gun you shot them with.

However, i think you get credit for a mine kill if someone else shoots your mine.

I think i killed 5 guys with one mine yesterday. I dropped one behind a fully loaded APC. He backed up. It was outstanding.

Still only got like 36 kills after trying all day.

I played several rounds yesterday and finally got the magnum ammo. I had an 18000 point round because I got some gold stars and an award for getting 5 gold stars. That was pretty sweet.

 

[Mad Cow]

I have just been really busy, but should be on a couple of times this week.

 

[Senor Schmutzig]

The wife and son are in town until next Wednesday so I probably won't be on until then. :withdrawal:

 

[Mad Cow]

OK, I will be on tonight around 8:30 PM MST. Anyone with me?

 

[TLEF316]

possibly. I played ball last night and will play again tomorrow. I'll probably make it a video game night tonight. No patch yet, unfortunatly. It got delayed again because they found some crash bugs (according to twitter).I also really miss the AN94. The game just isnt quite as fun when you cant mow down an entire squad with one clip.Been using the AK7U while i try to get mine kills and vehicle destructions. Good fun (when you use magnum ammo) but its just not the same.

 

[Foosball God]

OK, I will be on tonight around 8:30 PM MST. Anyone with me?

I will try to get on. It has been hard to get myself up to playing when I just die all the time. :wimp:

 

[Nick Vermeil]

I'm moving up slowly but surely. . Some of the gameplay is getting a little boring, mostly that I don't die unless I'm killed by a 40mm grenade or Gustav. 40mm users = new grenade spammers.

 

[TLEF316]

new maps are really needed. However, some of the new variations have been good.

Rush mode on laguna presa is epic if the attackers get past the first few stages.

 

[jonessed]

OK, I will be on tonight around 8:30 PM MST. Anyone with me?

I started playing again about a week ago. HorribleJoe and my friend oilJacked have been on vent the last few days. I start a bit later (around 8:30 pst), but maybe I'll catch you.

 

[SlaX]

I haven't played BC2 in a few weeks. I'll see if I'm up to joining in tonight.

How long do the mines last after you drop them? In my experience they last even after dieing twice. I had and interesting experience with the mines. I was playing defender on Arica Harbor (first set of Mcoms) so I laid some mines down at the main entrance and also around the one side. I died shortly after dropping the mines. While waiting to respawn I stepped away from the computer for a couple of minutes and when I came back I had been switched to the attacking team. Within 30 seconds of spawning in on the attacking team I got 2 multi-kills from the land mines. It seems the land mines I had dropped had also switched sides and when the defending team ran over them it blew them up and I got credit for the kills Maybe its a way to get some cheap land mine kills. Drop some land mines in a friendly area and then switch sides and see if it creates some havoc.

 

[TLEF316]

I havent noticed how long they last. I've gotten kills from mines i laid 10 minutes earlier. With the way i play, thats usually more than 2 deaths

 

[Todem]

I will be on tonight around 10EST.

PS3

 

[Maelstrom]

I might be able to be on tonight, we'll see what we got going on in a few hours.

 

[Mad Cow]

I played around with a few bonuses last night, and was running along quite well with the SAW and body armor. I was winning 1-2 and 1-2 matchups pretty frequently.

BTW sorry for going mic-less at the end Joe and Maelstrom. The wife got home from her thing and then she starts talking, and so there you go.

ETA the thing I loved about the SAW was the 200 rnd mag. Of course, no gun in the game sounds cooler than the MG36, so it has that for it, but you better have an assault guy dropping ammo all around you with that ammo hog.

 

[TLEF316]

was just too tired by the time you guys got rolling last night.

I was so close to firing it up at like 10:45, but i knew i would just be dead this morning.

Last 2 days here at my job. Didn't feel like falling asleep at my desk.

 

[Mad Cow]

Gotta admit I will be happy once the Akaban gets nerfed. I get tired of getting gunned down with a single burst from 200 yds away.

Nah, they need to go back to the BF2 way and have 2 modes of fire - single shot as well as burst or auto, depending on the gun.

i would certainly support this. I also hope they give us some other weapons in an expansion. Some carbine/light assault rifle options for the medic class would be great.I miss my G36C from Bf2. That gun was absurdly overpowered.

I agree. The original BF2 seemed fun for so long, and while this one certainly is, it is losing its shine faster than BF2. We need maps and weapons or it will get less play, for me anyway. Even variations on weapons would be nice, but I guess we shall see.

 

[TLEF316]

i really think its because of the poor design of the conquest maps.

We're playing team death match. Holding teritory is mostly useless due to the linear map structure, proximity of flags and lack of important assets to defend.

I also think the lack of bottlenecked city maps plays a part in it. For me, the firefights between certain flags on maps like Karkand, Sharqi and Jallalabad was what made Bf2 great.

I can see that. I always loved Wake for that reason. China HAD to hold airfield or be screwed. There were 2 ways in around the island, or you could try for deeper in. An all around well designed and fun map. I would love to see that one again, along with Jalalabad and Sharqi.

other the imbalance of the planes, Wake was a pretty good map if the attackers actually got on the land.Sharqi was an awesome map.

Just played a round on a rush server with the AN-94 and went 27-13 in the K/D. That gun is ridiculous. Just aim in the general direction of an orange triangle, unleash a few bursts, and presto! Might need to run a few more rounds with that thing.
