people use it, and it doesn't suck, it's just that nowadys you can usually spot more people playing Reach on the list than BC2, and some have gone back to MW2, but there's usually more people on the list playing BC2 than MW2. actually, the main thing is people just don't organize into a big group!

Yep it certainly worked last night.. mainly because I saw the tag was online which helped me remember it was there. Pulled up the friends list and was in a GAF squad instantly. I still think MS is missing a big chance to really set LIVE apart in the community aspect if they had some sort of official group areas on the dashboard.

Yeah, no longer running...don't know what happened to PC GAF, unfortunately. There are still a few of us who play regularly. Me, Spl1nter, Sandman.

did they nerf the M60? Confirmed? If so, I'm calling it now, instead of teams of Medics, there will now be teams of Assault's launching NOOB Tubes all damn game....


Who's got $5 on that?
Click to expand...
Thats a lot better than a team of self healing/reviving medics, which was completely annoying - nothing worse than seeing your M60 medic killer reviving one of the 3 other M60 medics you killed, and then that revived medic reviving another medic etc. It also looked completely stupid especially when it was 7 or 8 medics all bunched together. Since the nerf the squad compositions are a lot less uniform.

Yeah I try to throw a nade on the body if I know there's a Medic closeby, but it's not like BF2 where you could spam their body to prevent the rez since you don't get enough nades to counter the respawn timer (albeit Assault is the best at this).

I think your elite skillz might have helped fend off the ass-destruction 2.0 that was being handed to us, but who knows! It was just a slaughter.

EDIT: Also, I didn't mean to not join your squad...whenever I play, I usually have a buddy with me (Lupurnican) and we both couldn't get into your squad.

Why do none of my M1 garand kills register? I have bronze in everything but snipers, shotguns and the M1.

Also, what many golds to a platinum?

Played with the tracer on some bradleys and tanks. It's gimmicky at best. Misses even with barely any angle and I don't even know if it hits half the time (if it does, then I'm not getting any points--and I've made sure that the shot is clear and it's not hitting trees or rocks)

It seems best for helicopters. Get a tracer on a heli, launch rpg and boom. I can tell you this; the blackhawks are fucked. They're easy to tracer and they can't dodge for shit. I shot one down on isle with ease.

I'll stick with my normal routine I think and just pull out the tracer for wannabe pilots.

Edit: it does have its moments though. Some guy was camping with a cg so I tracered him and then shot a rocket at him from behind the railing on the bridge on arica harbor.
Hit detection is wonky on it though. Shot a guy in the chest with it and it didn't register. I'm getting irritated with the shoddy job they did on the hit detection in this game.

It does suck. In terms of trying to be a Valve/Steam "group" thing, but you have to add the group to your friends list and no one uses it (generally for any game that people set these up for), in addition to not being able to simply join peoples games through it. Last I checked you have to add a person to join session in progress. :/

It's bugged. DICE knows. DICE fixed it, but hasn't put the fix in yet, apparently. *mumble grumble*

9 Gold Stars->10/Platinum.

Also the Grenade Launcher, Grenades, Knives, RPGs are the easiest to Platinum if you're going for the 2 Platinum Stars Emblem.

That's when I switched classes to Eng., grabbed an RPG with extended clips, and started spamming the group of medics. Sooner or later it was good for a double kill or two.

This is what my buddy sent me... Nothing about my M60, but I can't get to the website from here to double check.:


from the official BFBC 2 blog:
-Slightly increased the damage of the UZI at long range.
-The AKs74u now has more felt recoil when aiming.
-The G3, VSS, and all SemiAutomatic rifles now settle slightly faster between shots when aiming.
-The PKM, Type 88LMG, G3, An94, and 40mm shotgun have returned to their former glory.
-Increased the damage of the MG3 to bring it in line with the rest of the LMGs.
-Fixed a bug where the Saiga12 with slugs would do too much damage at long range.
-Fixed a bug where the SVU would do too little damage at long range.
-Fixed a bug where M95 rounds would not kill armored targets with headshots.

actually, you can join a session in progress if you go to 'compare games' then back out.

That's the second patch. The console patch includes that AND the prior PC patch, which had a huge list of weapon changes.

Included in this update are all the changes previously found in the Ch Ch Changes Blog Post as well as some additional tweaking and tuning based on feedback from our ever vocal PC community.

Check out the first PC update to see what will be/has been changed for the console-versions.







Edit, will we eventually getting a client update? This server-side stuff means that we still can't get points in the respawn menu.

i'm guessing that some things can be done server side, while others cannot. and PR guys have to come up with excuses etc...

My best game on AD was killing 5 or 6 birds with the tank cannon. It was crazy... some of the shots were so sick I should've got marksmen bonuses. My gunner was laughing his ass off.

Feels extra good to take out a bird man, however you do it.

I said it once, and I'll say it again: AT4 (if the shitty hitdetection and mysterious rocket leaving the game) > Carl Gustav/RPG-7. Why? It's a portable Stationary AT on your shoulder.

Tapping DATTANKASS.jpg tanks and helicopters with it is satisfying and able to be done with relative safety. So awesome.
