Picked the game up today. Pretty good single player, but the laggy online was a little annoying. Not sure if it was just the game or the sever, but it looks promising.

Unfortunately right now it's the servers. It seams they not only nerfed some guns with the last update but also the servers. :yuck:
 
What do you guys think about the "Nerfing" of the weapons? It seems the RPG, Carl Gustav are just ineffective against tanks now? Even with the explosives upgrade it still takes about 3 hits to destroy a tank? I do like the down grade of the M60 however and I found something effective against a Medic with an M60 - 40mm Shotgun:tup: The 40mm Shotgun has become my new toy here lately. The 40mm grenade still packs a punch in my opinion, and the Mortar strike is still effective and deadly on a tank. I have been utilizing the "other" weapons to gain points to advance in rank since I have quite a few already at platinum.

Well my trusty M16 is still powerful, but at range they've taken a bit of the punch away... Close enemies still drop like flies and at distance it takes a few well aimed bursts to down the enemy... Other than that I still like it. The 40mm Grenade has lost its punch imo. I did counteract this by using the explosive power perk. That helps to level it out to what it use to be like :) Carl Gustav works GREAT on infantry now, but as you say is useless against tanks...

I've also been using the M93 lately and WHAT a gun that thing is... It was crap before the nerfing, but now its a killing machine.... I was owning with it like mad yesterday :) I also dont use the weapons training perks anymore either since the other perks are better to use now...
 
I didn't have much time to play recently but from what I experienced the patch balanced guns very nicely ,even though it means that my M16 is no longer 2 bursts killing machine on any distance. The handguns are especially nice surprise. You can actually get kills by using M9 now , which means that there is a bit of diversification when it comes to equipping your secondary weapon, gone are the days of 1911 exclusivity.

The tracer got nitro boost (sometimes equipping smoke perk on vehicles makes a difference between losing and winning now). Specact kits look cool (all black M95 is my fav now!). Overall the game feels bit more unpredictable when it comes to "loadouts" people use (no more teams full of M60 medics) and that is a very good thing. Last but not least, absolutely NO LAG in games I was in after the patch (maybe better matchmaking system was deployed or I was just lucky).

Some minuses, "the fence bug" on isla innocentes is still on. The points you score after being killed still don't count toward your result. The "loadouts" don't save sometimes (very annoying and time consuming). C4+UAV combo is still available and popular in Rush mode.

My recent stats:

 
I noticed that the loadouts don't always save also, primarily with the Recon kits. I have to admit I really really like the 40mm shotgun especially against medics with M60's. No more "dramatic" deaths when using that baby, I like the way people just fly back and stay down for the count!

Music to my ears.:) I really need to get back into the game, all this positive feedback is making me feel bad for not playing it recently.:sick:
 
im still going to be a medic since i already have everything unlocked for assault. recon and engineer really arent my style.
 
I still love me some XM8 LMG.
 
Just saying..... This game is taking over my life.
 
I want the M95 online. Now.

I was a little upset when I started playing and the maps were and the maps were smaller and it didn't have a lot of players. I'm use to MAG and the 256 player, so I think it shaped my view of online shooter. It seems to me that the maps are a little smaller then the ones in the first Bad Company, not too sure though.

I don't know if it's just an excuse, but I'm partially red-green color blind and on one of the maps in the jungle I couldn't see a thing. Everybody to me looked like a black mass the blended in. It's probably just an excuse I made up to make myself feel better, but it happens in every game with jungle maps for me. The Desert map I played though was fun, besides the few bouts of lag that popped up every now and again, but whatever.

I hear you, My wife and I play online in our own squad or with others from this forum. It's kinda sad to look at your stats and see exactly how many hours you have accumulated. Then there is the insignia for playing 1 day then 5 days online:rolleyes:

I've been playing the PC version for a little while now. We have 4 or 5 of us that are all local friends that play and run Teamspeak for voice communicating online. It has been a total blast.

Just hit level 21 last night.

COD Modern Warfare seems so....., plastic to me now. :D
 
havent played for a week now... im really aching to see new maps. I noticed that rocket launchers are weaker. You can destroy one with about two RPGs before the patch (HC), last time i did it, it took about 3-4...

Your at a level where it really begins to payoff since you have unlocked many of the different weapons in the different kits. I am a total dogtag junkie when I play. I have yet to get a gold set of dogtags, my wife has managed 3 sets. Gold dog tags can be attained from a level 45 and above I believe.
 
Yes, I am starting to get some kills and having a lot more fun. Level 1-10 was brutal but I kept pressing forward to unlock better weapons. :) The AN-94 is my new friend with an auto fire macro on my mouse, it's awesome!

Yah... come to think of it, after ive unlocked everything, i feel like starting over again. Even though im at level 27. I kinda wish you could do it like it is on MW2.

full automatic burst riffle?

Even without any special tricks you can practically fire them at fully automatic rates. I get my M16 to fire like a full auto with just a quick trigger finger on PS3.

PS3 yes, for me on the PC, I tend to get overly excited when pressing the mouse button fast. Makes keeping the cross hairs on my target difficult. ;)

The M16 Was awesome before the latest patch, now it's nurfed down. It's like shooting rubber bullets.

The AN-94 is still my weapon of choice, I can get a kill without emptying my clip which is a good thing.

I think I'm about to work on my sniper kit. I have my Assault fully upgraded, my Engineer kit has the mines and all the rocket launchers, and as of last night, my medic can throw med packs and got the defibulators for reviving friends or knocking out enemies. I had a blast going around healing peeps. On Rush, we had a couple squads guarding a COM. It was death and murder in that room. I managed to get my "Heal 100" +5000 point pin on that single session... haha

Next I need to start working on my sniper kit to get Air Strikes unlocked. I personally hate snipers and make it a point to hunt them down when ever I can, but wouldn't mind being one on occasion. :)

i must admit im guilty of treating the m93 as an automatic pistol. :O
 
Frustrating matches tonight, eh Masi?
 
yah... we were up against 45-50 level guys... but we won the last defense on Port Valdez right before you guys left. I kept tea bagging this level 50 guy that i killed 5 times :lol:

Patch and server maintenence on the way tomorrow for PS3:

http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/bat...n-3-server-and-client-update-rolling-out.aspx

On Thursday 3rd June the PlayStation 3 Bad Company 2 servers will go down for maintenance. On your side of things at around 08:00 UTC (09:00 UK, 10:00 Europe, 02:00 Pacific) you will start to see prompts to update your PS3 when you next put Battlefield: Bad Company 2 in your disc drive.



The update includes the following changes:

Kit images added in spawn menu
Fixed the "required rank" field on the unlock items specified on the W&G page
Added M14, NS 2000 and G3 in-game unlock pop-up when the requirements for unlocking them are reached
Added a server side check of the veteran status of the players
Award bugfix for "Win all 4 game modes" (it had marksman headshot as a dependency)
Garand did not track anything, Thompson tracked Garand.
Increased the penalty points for TeamKill and TeamDamage
Increased the reward points for Objective Actions (Flag Cap/Assist, Arm/Disarm/Destroy/Damage/TeamDestroy/TeamDamage)
Fixed veteran rank number not showing up in ingame scoreboard
The southpaw setting now works for the anti-air gun and the Stationary AT
Collectible weapon messages fixed


Now you can go out and get your Garand stats you have all been waiting for.



This update will go out on PS3 in all regions except Japan which will follow shortly. Xbox 360 update is also in the works and is due in the very near future.
