Got my medic dog tags.

Could you get the BF2 tag on 360 for playing it on PC?

 

[HotHamWater]

Going off of Demize's latest tweets, it seems as if there's a lot of commotion at the DICE
offices about what balances need to made and what needs to be changed. Seems like the
upcoming patch(es) could be bringing a lot of change.

Also, they'are considering nerfing the stingers some too.

Nerfing the stingers is probably the easiest way to buff Jets, something they've also expressed interest in.

 

[soulassssns]

Yes, You have to have your battlefield "veteran" status up to date.

 

[Makoto]

Good point, I hadn't thought of that - probably because most people don't ever use the AA.

I need to go to the servers you go to. Every server I'm in, someone gets to that Mobile AA before I do. And it infuriates me.

 

[Ysiadmihi]

I really hope DICE considers revamping the squad management and loadout interfaces. All they really have to do is bring back BC2's.

 

[mr_nothin]

That's funny because they're apparently buffing jets. So, now stingers will be even more useless

They are probably debating whether to either buff jets or nerf stingers. Jets do need a little
big more buffing though. They need a better connection to what's going on, on the ground.
Bombs would have helped with that.

Maybe the machine guns will be more powerful against infantry or something. Also, they gave the UMP a buffing too.

I wonder how much of this is going on behind the scenes. You know they can change all the
weapon balances and stuff w/o the need for anyone to download anything. They could be making tons of changes to the weapons without most noticing.

Stringers don't need to be nerfed, air units just need to be able to take more damage before becoming disabled.

I think they need to be nerfed but not when it comes to actual damage. The distance in
which they can lock on needs to be toned down or something. Maybe there needs to be
more of a cool down period. Tired of the constant beeping anytime you take to the air.

Also when asked about how to avoid heatsinking missles:

They are pretty damn good at getting in close on you, though coming up they won't be 1 hit disable

Horray, more interesting dog fights to be had!

Too bad I have Battlefield 2 on Steam so I can't redeem the CD key on Origin. Thanks EA.

 

[SteveO409]

GAF server is lagging....

Dont you still have to have an EA login for it? Like BFBC2 does.....

I am still wondering how I update my veteran status to include Battlefield play 4 free.

 

[1stStrike]

Hah, just follow me around. I get chased by someone, fly over my base - and not a peep. So, I try and dodge and weave, most of the time I get away, but not always. If I had some support we could make light work of anything. Someone on the AA + another jet to back me up. I've seen it on the opposing team, but never on my own.

 

[Dug]

No, you have a Gamespy login.

 

[Kandrick]

I forgot about that. Went to the website, and took me like 10minutes of attempts to remember the Gamespy login/pass, but i have BF2 veteran now!

 

[Keasar]

It's only 250 points to get em, though. If you've gotten a vehicle disable then you have at least 100 points - which is like 1 more disable and a kill. Surely you can get that somewhere. Once you have flares, unlocking missiles and the rest is on you.

Thats the thing, I just played a couple of rounds with an attack choppers, once I did my last suicide run and managed to finally unlock the IR Flares, holy shit did I just turn into Zeus, assuming he threw rockets instead of lightning. IR Flares are supposed to be there from the start if you ask me, I could survive at least then ONE missile and then do my best avoiding the rest.

 

[FStop7]

Holy crap metro and grand bazaar conquest are utterly utterly shit. A lot of the conquest maps feel rushed (lolz).

[Jak140]

Well that is strange, are you sure you are in a squad?

Whenever I play the only squad that shows up for me when I try to switch is the one I'm in and it won't let me leave to join another

 

[dmg04]

Can't connect to a match on 360....

Choppers are also not moving at 400 mph or so and are easier to use for killing ground targets - which there is an abundance of. You're not lacking weapons when you first start out in a chopper

 

[Jak140]

My squad screen looks like this and it won't let me switch squads:

It really sucks and I have no clue what's wrong or how to fix it.

 

[cackhyena]

Why the fuck is it impossible for me to get the hang of the jet controls? Fuuuuck!

First one to post that they want these extra dog tag codes from Amazon gets a PM from me. Guess they were covering their bases for the goof up even though I already got mine.

Can I have it?

Ugh, any way to turn off the bloom?

Can you try a different server? Something looks wrong with Alpha squad.

 

[cackhyena]

Sorry, Dug.

 

[TheSeks]

Got my medic dog tags.

There's a Battlefield 2 dogtag? There isn't for Modern Combat or Play4Free or Heroes. Is there one for 1942?

 

[Dug]

There's one for 1943...

 

[Nome]

This game has one of the worst interface designs I've ever seen.

 

[TheSeks]

There's one for 1943...

I know, but 1943 is three (well, four but fuck planes) maps while 1942 is MORE.

ME PLZ. >_>

Oh, damn. Misread the posts above. Oh well. >_>

 

[Jak140]

Same thing on every server I've been on. :/

 

[cackhyena]

Gone.

 

[childplease]

I wonder why they lowered the flight ceiling in Bf3.

The flight ceiling in BF 1943 was utterly insane.

 

[holdbrillanj]

Metro and dpeak chokepoints are just disgusting. A farm fest

I really don't like any of the maps TBH. There are a few i kinda like, but little stuff ruins it

Canals: skybox is to low, attacking team has a hard time.

Highway: laggy, to many places for engineers to hide and so dark that you have no chance to spot AT mines (tanks are pretty useless)

Island: baserape with choppers as the american team, russian AA gun is not in line of sight.
the hills should be a deadzone, try driving a tank gun with optics or AA up there and you can dominate the map. Also so many snipers

 

[RS4-]

Blargh, battlelog still doesn't track my mortar/claymore kills lol

Yeah, I'm quite disappointed with the maps, most of the points are so close together, even on Firestorm. I think they've designed every map for conquest AND rush which is a stupid, stupid decision, I only really like 3 maps. They're so small and compact, BC 2 had bigger gaps between them.

Hopefully they won't butcher Karkand.

 

[cackhyena]

I like more maps in this than I did in BC2. Am I the only one that likes Bazaar? I actually found fun to be had on Metro last night, believe it or not.

 

[KingHenrik30]

If I have to hear about this mother fucker dreaming about a vanilla milkshake one more time i'm going to fucking snap.

 

[Longshot]

Who ever thought conquest in a tunnel (Damavand Peak) was a good idea should be fired.

Keep dying?

haha yes clearly

 

[Yaska]

No, you have a Gamespy login.

http://www.battlefieldbadcompany2.com/veteran is where you go to upgrade your veteran status. I have bf2 on steam as well and it worked fine. Funnily Origin version of BF2142 won't register but oh well

 

[hellclerk]

Edit: damnit, meant to post in the meet-up thread.

uh... anyone else find it strange that all the burst weapons are only two fire? What happened to 3 shot?

 

[Dug]

I am stupid. You have to enter your Gamespy credentials to get BF2 tag.

its a fun map if you aren't playing 64 players.

 

[big_z]

Seems like a lot of the maps play best with 32 players. At 64 it turns into a meat grinder.

Agreed. I really don't like 64 player maps. 32 is just right.

 

[zero margin]

you get used to it. it gets better.

Already has a bit, seems sprinting around was causing me to visit the respawn screen too frequently. Go figure. Actually stopping and scanning around has done a lot of good, got to stop playing this like its TDM in cod.

 

[cackhyena]

Agreed. I really don't like 64 player maps. 32 is just right.

This almost sounds like some kind of blasphemy for a PC player to say.

 

[Red Blaster]

This almost sounds like some kind of blasphemy for a PC player to say.

95% of my 200 hours in BF2 were on 32 player servers (on 64 sized maps). Rounds lasted twice as long.

More vids of presador making me laugh.

The screen tearing in that vid is horrendous.

 

[RedSwirl]

About a level and a half was all the campaign I could do. Back to GameFly with ye. PS3 version looks dissappointing graphically. I'll probably get this on PC in about 6 months at half price or something.
