Me too, infact I haven't been on it for a good few weeks now and when the weather is not so good my time is either taken up by Modnation Racers or GTAIV.:p

Here's the info about the most recent update.👍

Last Update

and there's another coming tomorrow(EU).

Also, VIP Map Pack 3 comes out on Wednesday.

Whoa... thats great news... looks like it's time to pick up the game again and play some conquest without that damn horn playing the WHOLE time!!! :lol:
 
They moved the UAV at Atacama Desert from the lower level of the aft part of the ship to the level just above its previous location. Now you are protected when using the UAV, someone has to come get you, no more pop shots from A or C when playing this map and using the UAV.
 
Seems like I might need to come bak to BC2. I got really burned out and bored with it a few weeks ago and started playing CoD4 and MW2. Getting my arse kicked repeatedly has kept those interesting, problems in all. Though the faster pace of CoD games will probably help me with BC2 and rush mode.

Time to find the disc again...
 
Oh now they change the 40mm shotgun to platinum at 500. Oh well I already logged 1300 kills on it anyways. Excited about the points awarded after I die and the significantly increased tickets, but when you own all the bases or even a moajority of them they decrease SOOOOOOO FAST
 
I think I'm going to let Gamestop have my copy since this game is so well made 👎.

Seriously though, I've given this game a few tries to be good, but out of all the games one was fun. The lag I have is annoying, the fact that sniper rifles don't kill on the first hit is stupid, I don't know that much about slugs, but can the really kill you from 150 yard away in one shot? The slow controls make it hard to play, although I just though about the fact I didn't change the speed. I can't try agian since I deleted all the memory of it, but the only good part was the single player, but then again it's EA so I guess I shouldn't set my sights so high, or even really set them all.
 
Played with happeycorey and unfortunately lots of lag was present. We both did horrendous.

So what if a sniper rifle won't kill you in one shot, shoot for the head or get better. If you knew how many level 2s were sniping the body because they can't snipe and just go for any kill, they don't deserve the kill. Should've chosen another class and actually had an enjoyable time with the game rather than given up. Sounds like you didn't give the game a lot of chance, to have an enjoyable time. Raise your sensitivity and pray the lag ends (which I understand is enough to get upset about) but once it's all sorted out it will again be a really fun and enjoyable game.

Yeah I got on with Cale and jswill and his wife and it was pretty fun, minus the lag I suppose
 
I think something is up between European servers and US servers.... I tried to join jswilli a bunch of times last night only to receive the message "Cannot connect to EA Online, try again." If I just joined a random game there was no problem. Same thing happend when I tried to join Cale and when jswilli tried to join me... very strange... was stuck playing random games last night :ouch:

1 plus point though.... the games I was in had absolutely no lag... felt like I was playing single player...

Play on Hardcore mode. You can kill someone with one shot on the Torso (or head). And about 75 damage on the limbs. Same goes with other weapons. A good placed 3 round burst on the m16 can kill. Im not too sure but i think ive also killed dudes with one shot with the m1 Garand (Torso). I even use the M9 handgun simply because of much rounds it carries compared to the others. The m93 has too high of a firing rate, while the m191 has few rounds but is very powerful, but its pretty much eliminated as you are in Hardcore mode.

I hardly play Normal mode (Only when i play some of the guys here). I just find it ridiculous how much bullets u need to stop someone with an assault rifle.

I played for a short time with you guys last night, but the Wifey doesn't like to play Hardcore. We had been playing with happycorey when our patio table glass outside shattered and made a huge mess. Thanks for the tags Cale:tup:

I have noticed a few nice additions to several levels both rush and conquest since the last update. They have added burning trucks, shipping containers, wooden crates, etc to add cover in several areas. I particularly noticed it on Arica Harbor. The lag has been horrible but a tad tolerable, and it sucked that we could not link up with Blitz on the european servers.

I was pissed I saw you heading over there and once I got to that rock I started rubber banding. You couldn't handle my M9-3 though.
 
Bahaha.. jswill you guys just need to make the switch. Killing people easier outweighs the amount you can shoot someone only for them to turn around and kill you

But the lag today is pretty bad and I even rage quit several times. I know the lag has to be isolated to the US since we all can't play together
 
Finally got 1.04 to pop up, but man does the PS3 suck at downloading updates or what. 8% complete of 451MB and 50 minutes left :grumpy:
 
Yeah I was finally able to play with some guys from across the pond (from the sound of their accents) and there was almost no lag present
 
Thats good news... must have been because of the updates that I couldnt connect with the US servers...
 
Yup, 1.04 seems to have fixed the lag 👍 I had some awesome games last night, first was going 36-37 with the AKS-74U in a Conquest on Atacama Desert - had I not gone something like 0-4 near the start of the match I may have come out of it with an even K/D :lol: Got nine pins/awards that round, and yes I was playing the objective - had at least six flag captures :)

I then bought the recon upgrade kit from the BC2 store (mainly for the M95 as I don't actually have it unlocked yet) and got into a Rush on Atacama Desert. End result 23-8 with fifteen pins. :D
 
I'm going to get on again today and hope everything goes well
 
Hello agaaiiinnnnn boys! Been a long time since i posted on the BC2 thread, RDR has had me in the wild west for weeks now and my soldier skills have been reduced to winchester repeater's and cannon's for christ's sake :P Since my last play time with BC2 the M60's were still death star laser beams and haven't played any time at all since all the changes...

I just wanted to know if anyone still plays frequently? I'm DL'ing the 400+ mb update and will be back on the field tonight or possibly tommorrow.

I hope to re-unite with some guys from past play sessions if possible. If not a heads up on what to expect would be welcomed...see you guys on the BF.
 
I'm seriously going to have to quit until this lag is fixed. Today was briefly the worse lag I have ever experienced and I am so tired of it.

Squadmate insists on shooting down friendly heli, and teamkilling, so I figure I'm going to get him kicked out. I can't even TK the guy I spawn on because the lag is so bad.

Not to mention a medic unloading his clip (then decides to reload) so I figure, YES! I'M GONNA GET HIM! With an 870. So I'm about 30ft from the guy, and run at him and circle in maybe a 10ft radius, I watch the guy knife thin air (as I'm watching him from BEHIND about 10ft) and I die by combat knife. Awesome.
 
Oh more things you have to pay for to be able to get the last remaining trophies. No thanks.
 
I played awhile later today on my ex-favorite game. Lots of lag, Conquest mode was useless due to the spawn campers, and i just found out onslaught mode is going to cost 9.99....It was fun while it lasted, but my online BC2 soldier is going on permanent leave..
 
I guess, with actual server selections, the PC version has been basically lag free. Find one with low ping and go for it. There are times that it sucks, but with server admins watching, on the good servers, Spawn Rapers get warned then booted, then banned if found as a repeat offender.

Some games are good, some are epic, some makes me want to brake my keyboard in half. :)

:cheers:
 
Damn. I am guilty of spawn camping far too much. But once I get the helis at Atacama I'd like to think of it more as 'defense'
 
I had no lag this morning whatsoever. It was awesome. Topped the boards in every match.
 
Just had a 29k/2d session. Best ratio, but I swear everyone on the other team was stoned. :)
 
Yeah I had spurts of lag free gaming but the lag was present from time to time. Rage quit a few times due to how awesome it is to get killed while watching the guy shoot in the opposite direction of where I am :(
 
Hehe, point-blank noscopes with the sniper rifles are fun :D
