***OFFICIAL*** FBG All things BATTLEFIELD Thread (1 Viewer)

Apparently they're offering console players the opportunity to literally buy all the unlocks for like $20.
Seriously? That's pathetic.
Ya reallyFrom the official BF blog that announced "onslaught mode".......

Also this month, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Kit Shortcuts will be available on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 for those players who don't have time to spend levelling up to unlock all the kit specific items but still want to be competitive with those who have unlocked everything. The Kit Shortcuts will give you the unlocks available for kit each kit while still allowing you to progress through the ranking system as normal and will be available for 560 MS Points/$6.99 individually or if you want the whole bundle of kit shortcuts including the 7 available vehicle unlocks, 1600 MS Points on Xbox Live and $19.99/17.99€. The Kit Shortcuts will be available on Xbox Live Worldwide and European PlayStation Network from 16th June with the North American PlayStation Network having access to the shortcuts from 22nd June.

edit: Hopefully they don't bring this crap to the PC version. Official suggestion.....if someone buys a kit short cut, their name should show up Pink in the HUB.
I hope for your sake they dont bring it to PC either. It's really pissing me off on Xbox360. I hadnt played for a week or two and logged on today. I downloaded the new update and went to the EA store and see all of these unlock kits for sale. It's BS if you ask me. I've take the time to unlock the Recon and Engy classes completely and now I am working on Medic and Assault. Now you can be a level zero and pay 1600 M$ points and have every unlock in the game. It's crap.

They also have some other unlocks for sale that give you different uniforms for each class and camoflauged guns.

Also, does anyone play this on Xbox anymore?

 
if you haven't unlocked the M16 yet and are looking forward to it, you shouldn't be. Worst gun in the game. The difference between the M16 and the An-94 is honestly probably 8 kills a game for me. awful gun. I'm pretty sure the 3rd bullet from every burst just flies off in a random direction. just brutally bad.
The problem is I WANT to use it and like it, too. I have found myself going back and back to the AN-94, though, even though I already have the plat. It is just too fun to use. :lmao:

I know vlade, shades, and don still play quite a bit. Not sure if you knew them, but they are Mesmashu's friends that we got to know from the beta onwards. It looks like many of us who were playing BC2 migrated back to Gears while waiting for the patch to come out to fix the chopper domination. Also, this time of year many new games are coming out and I see a ton of my friends list on various newer games. It was a good run of 3 months imo.

Well I guess I'll have to friend request those guys. I am still having fun with the game though even running with randoms. I just had a blast playing with FBGs who actually spoke into their mics. Playing with a bunch of silent people can get boring at times.

Finally - Toggle Crouch! :thumbup: One little quick FYI: after patch has been installed it resets all of the controls to default and changes the mouse sensitivity to 0. So before you jump into a game go into options and tweak the controls to your liking.
 
Got a few rounds in last night. Hit detection with the m-16 seems MUCH improved. My bullets all seem to hit now. It didn't get a boost in stats but the allegedly improved netcode has made it viable. definitely eliminated some of the mouse deceleration. The screens seems to scroll much faster. I almost felt myself getting dizzy with my mouse sensitivity so high. I love toggle crouch although it will take some getting used to.

The bad; some of the crosshairs for the sniper rifles disappeared. All bronze star awards aren't fixed. Allegedly a few guns (vss and pkm) got some MAJOR boosts that have made them unbalanced.

 
I played a few rounds yesterday and rocked the engineer. Gotta say I am loving the 870 shottie and CG combo. There was 1 round I got 2 combat excellence awards. A few times I got behind attacker lines and took out a whole squad of snipers with 4 shots, each to the head. :banned:

Need to know which guns are now OP so I know which plat to go for next. :lol: PKM huh? :tfp:

 
BTW got my Medal of Honor beta key. Downloading at home now to give ti a try this weekend.

 
Ill be on this weekend. Been burning the candle at both ends helping my family move, so I need some vegging out time. Thevideos of medal of honor look EXACTLY like mw2. Its like they copied the code line by line. I might take a look at it down the road if bc2 doesn't get new maps

Yeah, I am wondering if MOH will be the kiddie version of BC2, frankly. More Halo-esque in gameplay.

It's quite disappointing. It feels more Counterstrike/Ghost Recon than Battlefield/Modern Warfare. I know a lot of people prefer realistic shooters, but I get bored of shooters that punish you for moving about and turn into a camp fest to see who gets tired of waiting first.

Not at all. As I said above, it's actually more realistic gameplay for multiplayer than Battlefield is. Imagine playing strictly hardcore mode.

Oof, we all know how successful ARMA was on the realistic model.

I like FF and I like the idea that you can't heal without medics, but the no crosshairs is just annoying since all you have to do is put a scotch-tape crosshair on your screen and the half health means everyone is insta-killed.America's Army is built for slower, more tactical play and is a great FPS for a more realistic style. BC2 hardcore is just BC2 where you die faster.

Yeah. MOH does have similar killstreak rewards like MW2 does, but getting them is a lot more difficult. Most of the ones I've gotten are from having a group of guys run into a doorway that I happen to be looking out of.
 
I will be on later tonight and a lot tomorrow.

BTW there is an amazing deal for Borderlands on Steam today only. I started a thread. It would be a very fun one for us to do co-op, if anyone is in.

Ugh. Count me out.
 
Ok downloaded the Onslaught mode.

Awesome fun I must say. My brother in-law and I played all night Sunday and were laughing so hard at the chaos and pure carnage we were in and dealing out to the bots.

With a squad of 2 it is a real challenge and lot's of fun. With a squad of 3-4 you need to amp up the difficulty.

It is a great mode to test out many other weapons you may have not used too much. In any case I highly recommend this fun mode. Also seeing Nelson Bay during the day and Valaperiso at night.....very cool stuff.

 
Wish we would get onslaught on the pc. I wouldn't play a lot, but it would be a fun distraction (especially since dice refuses to give or sell us actual new maps)

Got my platinum star for the m16. Good gun since the patch. Playing with the AUG now. Its weird going from a burst gun back to full auto

I am so close to my platnium star for the M-16 which is still hands down my favorite gun. I had been using the AN-94 for more power but the kick was too much for my taste.I also think it is totally weak that players can download all the unlocks!!! WTF is the fun in that? Earn your way to the high powered stuff.....level up the old fashioned way.

For any of my PC gamers, I have an extra copy of Borderlands now since I bought the Steam version. I will happily send it to you for say $8 for shipping and such? Let me know. We can all play MP with Borderlands, does not have to be all on Steam.

Me slax and baron have played every night this week. Fun game.
 
For those of you that are complete dorks like me and NEED to have all the awards, there is now a way to get the all bronze star weapons and all bronze stars award.

Apparently, someone leaked the server files for the PC that contained SPECACT weapons (that Dr. Pepper promotion). There are a couple of servers running them. Go to the browser, clear all your filters and search for "SPECACT" (no quotation marks, all caps). There will be 2 or 3 servers. Go in there and get the bronze stars for the SPECACT version of the M16, UMP-46, MG3 and the .50 caliber sniper rifle (they are the gold guns in the weapon selection menu).

once you get them, you'll get the missing awards (assuming you have all the other bronze stars including the M1 garand, which you can get now).

you can also try out the G3 and M14's with scopes, which you cant do in the regular game. (apparently the ability to use them was removed for balance purposes).

I dont see how denying the G3 and M14 the use of a scope or red dot balances the game. The M14 should definitely have the 4X scope and the G3 should at least be able to use the RDS.The only weapons that shouldnt have scopes or sights are the M1 Garand and the Thompson.

They claim that people didn't want to give classes other than the sniper really good ability for long range combat. I guess they feel that an M-14 with a long range scope would do that. Personally, i think that's a lousy excuse. Even with the Red dot, i can counter sniper with any one of a dozen weapons (most notably the An-94 and the M60 when i was using them). I got my Gold stars with the G3 and M-14. Maybe I'll go back to using them at some point and go for platinum, but with the recent announcement that there wont be any brand new maps other than the vietnam expansion, I'm guessing the game wont hold my interest that long.

That is a BS excuse by DICE as to why the G3 and M14 dont get optics. As you mentioned you can countersnipe with any of the assault rifles or lmgs when equipped with the 4X scope or even the red dot. The M14 is made for at least the 4X scope and would make an excellent countersniper weapon since it is semi auto.The G3 is my favorite assault rifle. The iron sights are good and the recoil isnt that bad. I like running the assault class with the G3 and C4 so that I can take out tanks and armored vehicles.It is dissapointing that we arent getting any new maps but I am interested in the Vietnam expansion pack.
 
So any of my PC gamers interested in that copy of Borderlands? It is a really fun game, especially if you enjoyed a game like Diablo where it is always a hunt for the next uber-weapon.

 
...i love this game and played this over MW2 ever since i took it out of teh box. but the absence of new maps from Dice really sour me from this game.

and dont even tell me offering new gametypes on existing maps for $$ as new maps. its BS marketing they are running over there to squeeze every penny out of you without really giving you anything new. i would gladly have paid for real new maps. this adding gametypes to existing maps is for the birds.

i hope the community speaks up against this repackaged BF: Vietnam BS game if it costs anything over $30.

I've been having a blast with it. Ready to fight Krom :construction:
Krom was an interesting fight. I thought it was going to be harder than it was really. Just take some medkits for healing on the way as I had none drop. I think playing hunter in that fight would be ridiculously easy given the long nature of it.

the new game modes on existing maps have been free for PC gamers (i thought they were for console guys as well)The sad thing is that all the content already came with the game. The "map pack" releases just unlocks content we already technically have. i agree that the whole thing is complete nonsense. Dice gave us free maps for Bf2 as well as a full expansion with a lot of maps and several booster packs that came with new maps, armies and weapons/vehicles. We eventually got all of this content for free with the last patch. Plus, the game shipped with 12 unique maps. EA is just milking Dice and its customer base for everything it is worth. Pretty sad actually, but such is the state of gaming.
 
It's all about Hardcore mode.

This is a true test of squad teamwork. Conquest in particular is fantastic in hardcore mode.

1) No Kill Cam

2) No Spotting

3) No damage gauge on tanks/choppers/ATV/Humvee etc

4) No ammunition counts

5) You don't need to squeeze off 3 rounds to kill someone.

6) No radar

7) No sensors

It really is what sepreates the players from the pretenders.

It was a revelation this weekend.

Gonna disagree. Other than the lack of kill cam and maybe a few other things, I hate hc mode. Its a total camping sniper fest and its mostly for people who cant aim. With the recent patch, anyone with even decent skill can put down a few people with 1 clip.Plus, it basically makes rush mode obsolete because there isn't enough cover for the attackers to get to the objective (since the maps were obviously designed with the regular game settings in mind)

Oh I know there are campers. And I can aim just fine yet it seems it takes a few more rounds these days to put a guy down.Yes Rush is not good on Hardcore at all. But a 4 man squad with great teamwork can take care of snipers. We were kicking major ### this weekend. Top squad every round. It really is not for those who want to solo in any class other than sniper.I am sure I will go back and play Rush on normal. That is still a blast. But I found hardcore very intense and more like real war then the chaos you find on normal mode in conquest. Games last a lot longer and do require patience and countersniping tactics by one memeber of your squad.
 
New monitor is on it's way - kinda an impulse buy, but I've been thinking about a bigger monitor for a while and this seemed like a good buy:

Hanns-G HZ281HPB 27.5'' 3ms Full HD 1080P HDMI WideScreen LCD Monitor - resolution 1920 x 1200 - $279 through Sunday

Seemed like a good compromise of a 30" running 2560x1600 and a 24" running 1920x1080 (some 24s are running the same, 1920x1200 also). Reviews said it is still crisp and a good picture, so now I just need to clean off my desk and find room for it.

I'm hoping I'll be ok running games on it, with my ATI 4870. Everything I've run on my 1680x1050 22" has been on ultra-high with all the settings cranked, so we'll see if I can continue that or not, and for how long.

I'm hoping I'll be ok running games on it, with my ATI 4870. Everything I've run on my 1680x1050 22" has been on ultra-high with all the settings cranked, so we'll see if I can continue that or not, and for how long.
28 inches is the way to go - that is how I am running currently as well. :hifive:
 
I will be on tonight if anyone else is planning on it. If no one else is on, I might be playing Borderlands or Mass Effect. Send me a Steam message if you want to change games. :goodposting:
