I only played on Presa Rush before heading off BC2 for the night, managed to top the team on the full game of Attack even though we lost, it was single handedly our squad on the ridge on the first base which managed to let us get through there though, was pretty darn awesome if I may so.

đź‘Ť to you js for joining the text chat marked KDT, join it anytime I'm online and there's like a 99% chance I'm in there (I join it whenever I sign in regardless of game) if you need an extra squad member. I did have a GTP BC2 chat on the go but everytime I join nobody is in it so I gave up joining whereas there's a couple of guys who will join that other chat (non GTPers) whenever they get online so I have people to talk to, it's been going since last year :lol:.

The Chat worked well for us a few weeks back (and was still open), I decided to see if anyone was on and could tell me if their was an open squad spot. I could not find a squad to join and my 3 Recon mates where ticking me off, I really just wanted to knife them since they didn't move from their spots the whole round.
 
I just realized I haven't played this game in like 4 days! I better get on.
 
^^^^ :lol: Yup you better get online BOY! :p


Hey Dragon,

Can you send me an invite again for that KDT chat room? I recently deleted all the chats I was ever invited to because I thought they werent being used anymore... I think you might have said it before that the KDT chat is always open but it must have slipped my mind... Thanks! đź‘Ť
 
Unlike COD (well most of the time), teamwork in this game REALLY works. I tend to rush in with a bunch of people I play with and surprise the other team a fair bit by flanking them. It literally doesn't work on your own, so you need others to help you too. Everyone just tends to hang back though, which can make it really tough. So I don't care about K/D ratio too much unless I'm on my own - you won't get anywhere. I play Rush btw.

This game is crap. It seems like every time I kill someone some Dbag comes up kills me and magically revives his buddy.

Yeah, that was probably me. :sly:

I had a fantastic time the first time I played it. Tonight was absolute crap though.

Last night was crap online for some reason. Squad rush was full of recon only John Rambo types, rush and conquest were full of organized level 30+ teams (making it hard as a individual to make any headway, though it was great to watch good teamwork and squad deathmatch had no one in it.

Frustrating night. So frustrating I actually put the MW2 disc in and tried that only to find that even a bad night online in BC2 is more fun than a good night in MW2.

I've also been playing assault class lately to compliment my recon skills and have another class level'd up when situations need it in game. The run and gun style assault requires is not my cup of tea but I'm getting used to it. Done right it's enjoyable. As much as I prefer recon I have to say knifing campers as assault brings much joy. As dies supplying ammo to snipers in my squad.

I still hate those damn medics and their big guns!

I really need to join some FTP squad games.

Some of you have added me but again, anyone needing a good recon player or a poor assault player (ha!) add me on PSN.
 
Story time, was just playing at Isla Innocentes (I think Blitz and jswilli were in this game too) and we'd just pushed up to the 2nd base and I saw one of the enemy running back as I spawned at the base and jumped in to the tank. I chased him around for a bit, he did some hiding so I moved on up the road, except I was looking backwards. He runs out and goes for the chopper, as he flies up I hit it with a few rounds and it dies :D

Also, what button is it for deploying parachutes? I did it earlier but just button-mashed the whole of Square/Triangle/Circle/X, so have no idea which one it was.
 
X is the button, always pull it late unless you're trying to float somewhere.
 
Why does it always seem when you stop playing an FPS for a few days you get back and play like a fool. These past few days were spent in Liberty City, i came back today to BC2 and felt like a complete noob :(
 
It's worth noting the rate of improvement on BC2 is dramatic, people are learning/noobs going away faster and faster every day for me, each game is getting more and more difficult.
 
I do love it when your AA gun brings down a chopper at Atacama!
 
Last night we were playing on that jungle/forest map. We managed to push them all the way back to the last objective but no one wanted to do anything. I was playing recon and ended up having to storm the place in an apc which ended up taking a rocket so I hopped out only to have the thing stolen by the guy that shot it. This trapped me in the very back of their spawn where all I had was my m1911. I run out of ammo, die, get revived and live long enough to fumble with the reload again while getting killed by the same guy.

I really dont think this game should have weapon upgrades. I was an avid BF2 player back in the day. Modern combat was my first online FPS. There was no amour or magnum ammo or super tanks. Everyone had the same stuff pretty much.

As for what I've got unlocked, I'm on level 3 I think. I only play recon. I try to be a good spotter for my team. I use the M24 with 12x scope.

I gotta agree. In the 5 weeks I've been playing BC2 I've noticed the same thing. My skill level is getting better but so is the BC2 field. Total opposite of MW2. Maybe those people are leaving for BC2.

I started playing shooters, MW2, because a handful of people play in my office. Now no one plays and they have all joined me in BC2.

That is one of the things that make BC2 great. You can't just run around like and idiot shooting anything that moves for no reason. You gotta have a little strategy and tact in it. Very different than MW2 where the more you run around and spread fire about the better you do. Different strokes, both appeal to different people, but give me BC2's way.
 
Add me y'all :D

I agree with Dragonistic and Tetradic... The noobs are starting to leave and there's only good players playing now lately... Yesterday I was in a couple of different squads but all the GTP peeps were on one team. We were up against an organized squad of level 30+ guys with the tag [FfC]. I think it was Tommi2000, jswilli, Sureboss, mr_geez, uk86ze, PsychoSally, Fair_play, mr_volcano, theewar and I on one team. I must say we were having quite a tough time with these guys... They were everywhere and knew exactly where to go...

I wish you could link squads to each other so you could hear the radio chatter of the others, that would be ideal in a situation when youre with more than 4 players... Also when you join someone who's in a squad, but the squads full, is also a bit of a pain. Yesterday, for example, I joined mr_geez who was in a full squad so I was by myself... then jswilli and PsychoSally joined me, which went good for a while when all of a sudden on the start of a new match I ended up in mr_geez's squad because a space opened up.... Very annoying since I had already got a squad together and I believe I messed up the other squad too, since the spot was actually taken I believe... I was also playing REALLY bad yesterday.... maybe that had something to do with it as well :p
 
Very interesting about the level of gameplay going up.It seems lastnight I was unable to hit a barndoor and each time I did hit something it never went down.Lastnights game play for me was not very enjoyable at all even when it sorted its delay probs out I was still getting pounded by anyone who came across me and the last straw for me was when the other team spawn trapped the team I was on,I cant stand that sort of crap in a game and not even getting the m.com stations,just sitting there killing us as we pop back up in the one and only spawn point:tdown:

Agreed, I was getting mowed down like crazy last night... I dont know what it was, but I couldnt hit anything either.. my normal two bursts of the M16 wasnt downing people like it did before... :( I hope tonight offers some better gameplay...

Yes you did... I got owned hard by you I must admit... :p Sent you a message afterwards too... Everytime I died I saw you sitting there... I think I almost knifed you one time but you still got me when I was coming around a rock near base A on that night time level.. :p Good fun though... đź‘Ť

Now that I think about it Mr_Volcano may have owned me as well.
 
Well it seems that the changes coming to BC2 are plenty! Can't say i understand why some of those changes are being implemented but most of them are legit and seem to balance the game effectively...read on boys.

Weapon tweaks BC2:

I can't believe they increased the damage of the Type 88 lmg!! OMG The way it is now is one of my favorite wepons! That's bad news for someone!
 
There's an AA gun at Port Valdez?

Yup. last night was tough, only because there were so many organized teams/squads out and about. It's so difficult to be a one man unit now (not that it wasn't already, but it could be done). Either playing alone without the support of a squad/team or getting stuck with a bad squad/team (all campers) leaving you to do everything (and thus get splattered all over the map).

Even simple squad deathmatches are a challenge now. Not so long ago you could be a recon and camp as a individual, spot and get many kills. Now it's simply no possible. Without a squad the best you can hope for is single digit random kills with double digit deaths as the organized squad surrounds and kills you.

I'll need to find some of you fellow GTP'ers. I've seen a few of you online but I'm getting tired of getting destroyed all over the map since I'm all alone.

I'll add a few of you tonight that I don't already have on my buddy list on PSN.

FYI, I'm usually playing online after 10pm EST until about 1 or 2am EST.

Find me, please.
 
For the Et Tu Brute trophy, can you end up on the opposing team of a friend if you select Play with Friends from the menu, or does that only try to put you on their side?
 
I PM'd GTjazzabrandy and asked him if he could put a list of GTP'rs from this thread who play BBC2 in his original post. We have done it to previous titles and it helps new players find players to add to their PSN and really enjoy the true teamwork this game has to offer.

I had some awesome Rush rounds today with Mr.Geez, Blitz, Fairplay, Psycho Sally, ajwilli1, and fairplay. One round I got 42 kills/20 deaths and 4 Nemesis pins, truly an exhilarating round of play. I am now convinced that if you are over rank 30 it is harder to kill someone on the battlefield, the past few days I get the drop on someone >30 and when I die they are nearly dead but no Joy. Today I made Rank 30 so I am curious if my theory is correct or not. I had some outstanding battles with GTP'rs this week and apologize to Cale since he sent me some requests today but I was already playing in a full squad. I go back on shift tomorrow but I will definitely hook up with you Cale next week and play some Hardcore with you.
 
Was there an update recently? Cuz yesterday I killed 2 of my people with UAV cuz I didn't see that they were on my team (not squad). I just can't see blue triangle on top of them. Sux!
 
yup.

Increased the base range of all Automatic and Semiautomatic weapons for more consistent close range combat.
Slightly increased the damage of Semiautomatic rifles over long range for more consistent damage output.

Increased the zoomed burst accuracy of LMGs and decreased LMG accuracy when moving to reduce LMG run and gun.
Decreased the base damage of the M60 and XM8 LMGs to bring them in line with the other LMG damage values.
Decreased the damage of the PKM over long range to balance it with other LMGs.

Slightly reduced the base damage of the M16 and G3 to balance the increased range.
Slightly increased the damage of the AEK971, F2000, AN94, and AUG over long range to balance them with other Assault Rifles.

Reduced the lethal blast range of the 40mm grenade and M2CG to highlight their role as a secondary weapon against infantry.
Slightly Reduced the max range of the 40mm shotgun to balance it with other shotguns.
Slightly increased the base damage of shotgun rounds and reduced their range to clarify ideal shotgun combat distance.

Reduced the base damage of the PP2000 to balance the increased range.

Increased the range of the MP443 pistol to make it more desirable as a secondary weapon.
Increased the damage of the MP412 over long range to balance its low rate of fire.
Slightly reduced the rate of fire of the M1911 pistol to balance it with other pistols.

Increased the maximum number of Motion Sensors that can be carried from 2 to 3 and increased the speed which new sensors are acquired from ammo boxes.
Significantly increased the speed of the Tracer Dart projectile to make it more effective against airborne targets.
Increased the reload time of the Mortar Strike and reduced the damage it does to heavily armored vehicles.
Decreased the range of Bolt Action Sniper and Pump Shotgun Slug rounds when using Magnum Ammo for better Kit Balance, especially in Hardcore.
Slightly increased the Health of soldiers in Hardcore for better Kit Balance.

Increased the benefit from the Medkit Heal+ specialization to make it more desirable as a Specialization.

I dont understand these??? WHY!!!!??? Theyre going to nerf my beloved M16....

• Slightly reduced the base damage of the M16 and G3 to balance the increased range.

And increasing damage on the AN94?!?!?!?! That is a mistake, that was the only gun I found to be overpowerd in some way for Assault... but instead theyre going to nerf the M16 :( Sad, sad day this is....

Completley understand how you feel, some changes are warranted, but others are just plain wierd.

Decreasing the blast radius of the 40mm grenade launcher is strange

Increasing the damage of the An-94?? WTF?

Decreasing the damage of the m16 is absurd.

Decreasing the damage of mortar strikes on vehicles is ok though.

Making the Type 88 stronger is funny to me. The way it is now was fine, but making it a stronger weapon will turn it into another M60.

I can;t wait to see how this affects the game..I'm glad to be done with Episodes from Liberty City, it's time to get back to the battle..See you guys online.
