I logged in to play BBC2 today (been awhile) and I am a private? All my stuff is gone? I was playing last friday night and got the YLOD for the 10th time, I hope that didn't cause my loss on the EA server? I am on the fence as to whether or not to restart the game since I had everything. The funny thing is it doesn't show any of the purchases I made in the past on the EA store, I wonder if it is just a server issue? I checked my wife's account and she still has her rank and everything.

Edit: Appears that EA is having server issues (No shocker there!). I finally got sync'd up but when I entered a match I didn't have anything. Will try and play later, hopefully EA will get it sorted out.

I also fired the game up for the first time in ages, luckily I didn't experience any issues(for once) and just had some epic Hardcore Conquest matches instead.:) I have had that problem happen loads of times before though, both in-game and during the stats menu screen. You'd have thought EA would have sorted this server mess out by now.:rolleyes:

EDIT: BC2 Vietnam looks brilliant!👍, I just hope it's not too pricey.

This better be VIP. After providing us with a poor random, camping, spawn killing unrealistic game, we deserve it.
 
I have a great feeling BFBC2 is not going to get anymore updates from now on. It's not necessarily old news, but the developers have really neglected it. I've been kicked from games 4-5 times a day for no reason. It's getting really old
 
The reason you get kicked is usually NAT conflicts with a joining player, rather then not let them join it kicks out whoever they can't connect with (stupid system, but other games do it to like GTA). I used to get it a fair amount at home to the point I stopped playing, then I changed my router settings and then it would happen either not at all or once a night maximum.

Try the same and hopefully you'll get similar good results. The only other thing which annoys me about BC2 is the aforementioned spawn camping, but I just back out and join a different server as it doesn't take long to find a decent enough game of Conquest on most maps at least (Atacama is the only particularly bad one with near half of the games being spawn campish thanks to choppers).
 
No I'm saying the entire game is cut out. Me and all my friends get kicked, regardless of what side. Like someone at Dice is just sitting at a computer going "Well, these kids are doing really good, and they haven't saved in awhile, let's kick everyone out"

No signs of connection error or anything. But I know what you're talking about when I just get kicked, no one else.

But Spawn camping is getting bad lately. I used to love capturing all the bases to pin them down in their bases but it honestly kills the whole game. I'd much rather have the opposite team hold more bases than my team to keep the enemies moving and running around. Now it seems most games are one sided and people usually get slaughtered

I must be lucky then (or you unlucky) in that most of my games are a good fight with only small bursts of one team holding all flags if that, roughly 8/10 servers are decent. I've also never had a full squad d/c, usually just one and then we can join straight back in via play with friends so you only don't look as good on the scoreboard but the scores still go to my stats.

When it is a spawn camp fest, if my team is the one pushing the enemy spawn I just purposefully leave a gap they can escape from and sit on a flag rather then push right into their spawn, if it's the other way and I can't break out it's time to find a new server to play in.
 
I played a game of Rush once, where there were these Medic guys, who took a Blackhawk full of guys around to the back of the Defenders spawn, on a Hill somewhere, and absolutely spawn raped us. If anyone killed one, they just revive and continue the rape. No one could kill them, anyway, they were raping that much, that the enemies just walked in and took both M-Coms like there was no one defending it. Hell yeah I left that game.

Gustov + explosive upgrade
 
Barely even need the explosive upgrade for the goose, it's a great anti-infantry weapon even though it isn't the best for tanks. Definately good on maps like Nelson Bay though.

Sounds like it would be fun if you could hide somewhere and continuously snipe them, not all at once, but just enough that they can keep reviving each other.
 
If you're new to the game, probably. But I think after midnight tonight BFBC2 is going to be dead. There have been a few waves of new games that have killed off some people but it's still has a pretty decent online. The nights have been getting pretty dead though, empty games, crappy players, etc..
 
Wait till Vietnam comes out. That should liven it up a bit.
 
Until then BFBC2 is probably going to be dead
 
I have been really busy the past few weeks and have not played much BBC2. I played the other day and I was hard pressed to find a good match (conquest). I am picking up MOH today at lunch, any praise for the game?
 
I haven't heard really anything good, but with few guns, classes, and only 15 levels it doesn't seem that worth it at all.

Problem was, if you weren't getting spawned raped, you were getting killed by the rest of the team who were all over the defenders area anyway.
 
Fired up BBC2 so the wife and I could play a couple of rounds. Had some great matches today, and a couple of fellow GTP'rs showed up to play a couple of rounds: Tommi and Fairplay. Looking forward to the release of Vietnam, I am hoping this will spark some interest again in BBC2 considering how much of a disappointment Medal of Honor is. Hopefully Vietnam will hold me over till GT5 gets released.

I'm counting on Vietnam coming out AFTER GT5. But I'm not really sure at all. They haven't said anything yet about the date and it's now around GT5 'winter 2010'

I was really looking forward to the release of GT5 in 12 days (originally) so I could put this game down, since it's been pissed me off a lot lately, but I guess I'll have to deal with it a little bit longer
 
Looks like Vietnam is going to cost $14.99 in the recent video. I'd expect a release date this week or next on their Thursday run of Vietnam information
 
New video?
 
Well they haven't posted **** on Thursday and now they're saying they have Vietnam information on Fridays?
 
EA posted a bunch of screen shots from Vietnam BBC2 on thier Facebook page. I think the Vietnam Map pack is going to be great can't wait:tup:
 
Sounds like finally Battlefield are getting their ass in gear. We're getting 2 new BFBC1 maps and 2 new maps. Heavy Medal, they say it the biggest maps they're ever created

All on VIP Map Pack 7, so it's free. I wonder when it's going to come out in relation to Vietnam

I forgot about those, They had stated before about doing the BFBC1 maps. I love the huge wide open maps in BFBC2. The Atacama Desert is huge when playing Conquest, Rush or even Campaign. I think this is what disappointed me in MOH because it doesn't take long to figure out the "hiding" places and the maps are just too small. Maybe they will release map pack 7 and wait on Vietnam since Black Ops was just released today. The only future purchases I plan on are Vietnam and of course GT5.

Here are a couple of screenshots:

Excerpt from Battlefield Badcompany 2 Facebook:
It may have taken six map unlocks before DICE got to it, but the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 developer announced this morning that VIP Map Pack 7 will include four new(ish) multiplayer maps: Heavy Metal, Cold War, Oasis, and Harvest Day. If the latter two maps sound familiar, it's because they're updated versions of maps that appeared in the original Bad Company -- handpicked with the community in mind. "When we ask for your favorite maps from Battlefield: Bad Company, Oasis and Harvest Day always come out on top," the DLC's announcement reads. As with previous map packs, the DLC will be free for VIP members only (VIP access is free with new copies of BC2, $15 otherwise).

Outside of a handful of (relatively minor) tweaks noted on the Battlefield blog, the biggest change to the maps will be the addition of Bad Company 2's "Destruction 2.0" system and enhanced graphics. Check out the first shots of the revamped maps in the gallery below and look for a more in-depth exploration of Heavy Metal this Wednesday. Hopefully Wednesday will bring news of a release date as well.

So excited.
 
Stoked by the new maps.

Gotta love the support for this game.

Also disappointed by MOH, SP is good but way too short, and MP is a spawn frag fest and sniper camper fest.

I would love to see a game without the sniper class, or an option to disable snipers.
Snipers are pussies
