Oh yea, I would orgasm if they implemented that. I want to run up to some useless sniper and just yell into his ear all game. Just follow him around, and tracer dart his left asscheek.

I used to do this to enemy snipers in KZ2. Scream like a banshee and scare the shit out of them or whisper "behind you" in their ear, before i gave em a shot to the head wit the m4 pistol.

 

[TheThunder]

Oh, and, wait for it.....The COnquest horn is fixed! It now honks twice at 30 tickets and then shuts the fuck up!

Fanfuckingtastic, that thing drove me nuts !!

Anyway I've been meaning to ask this, about the Slug shots for the shotguns do they increase long range damage while decreasing it up close ?

Would be nice to see the full list of what the patch fixed.

We haven't "boosted" as you say, it's more of a consious effort to try and get them. Maybe Conquest and White Pass is the way to go, you up for some Friday night? I've tried to C-4 those houses before, but either:

a) I die trying to hide (I'll have to go all kamikaze and just go out each time hoping for glory or a 2.0 casualty)
b) I blow out the building with 6 pieces of C-4, but the building remains standing and the guys jump out unharmed or some NOOB comes buy and shoots a RPG, or a tank load and destoys the building and steals the kill from me.

If you guys really need the help (and the game isn't lagging horribly), I'm willing to help you out by playing C4 assault recon and placing three C4's to help take the building down.

But really...

+ shape for the square building. If two stories, there is a "strut" on the bottom floor that supports the second floor.

Put C4 on one side of strut, on other side of strut, in the "middle" of the building.

The set-up is the annoying part. After that, getting out isn't the issue. If someone comes in, just blow the C4 up. You'll get a C4 kill but if someone spawns on them (likely) you'll get a <D 2.0> in the process.

If you get out and wait, someone will go into the building. Wait two minutes, they'll generally go upstairs (and prevent you from C4ing them instead of <D 2.0>), if they escape, surely someone will have spawned on them and you'll get 2-3 <D 2.0>'s.

apparently it's not even out in the US anyway...

Just update anyway. ;___;

seriously, it's not that hard man.

Seriously, once you get it you're like "thats it? All that worrying for nothing?"

It's easy to <D 2.0> buildings once you know what you're doing. It's just catching people in it (and not C4ing them) that's the issue.

Never had connection issues, are you using server browser and joining actual servers or just doing the PLAY NOW option, which tends to put you into shitty games with shit pings.

Please you think with my avatar I'd ever hit play now? You mad?

Anyway it's still occuring. Just randomly drop from servers. I can instantly reconnect to them too, it's bloody frustrating when it happens though. And it's happening on a regular basis. Sometimes I can go a few hours and nothing happens, other times it can happen within 20minutes.

 

[1stStrike]

No patch yet/servers still down on the east coast. *waits*

I better see 0 lag after this.

They never said that this update would fix the lag.

They never said the last update would cause it.

edit: do we know when the servers will be up (aprox) because I'm ready to rock the Garand and M1911 WWII style.

That's exactly what I've been doing. On both Arica Harbor and White Pass. Just having no luck getting them... got a few c4 deaths and a few times guys have bailed to avoid it.

Up until a few days ago I thought I had to be alive to get them, should be easier now that I can take that out of the equation..

Patch is 288 mb. Downloading now and see what changes I can find. Lag has not been a problem for euro players, so I can't document on that.

I'll have to try and find the "struts" later. Knowing my luck, I'll get into the building and I'll keep gettign shot in the back because my eyes will be on the ceiling.

Goddamn I miss this game. New HD coming tomorrow <3

More tickets on. Start with 250.

Added soldier picture on setup screen.

Added echo sound effect on garand.

If you get on after this patch hits and we get into Arica Harbor Rush and most of the buildings aren't gone, I can show you (and Toda, if he doesn't understand) how to do this easy. Just let me know if you get on tonight.

 

[Evolved1]

I only need 5 more 2.0 kills. I got a couple the other day with Stirke in the Blackhawk. The mini gun decimates walls on buildings so it's pretty easy to drop houses with a decent pilot. Especially on Isla, the second set of MCOMs, the building that houses Alpha goes down really quick. There's also a turret there that draws people in, apart from just defending the com. Taking the walls out gets you the objective destroy + 2.0's on whoever might be in there.

To put that in perspective... I've shot up Alpha from the Blackhawk only two times with Strike, I have two Des 2.0 kills from it.

Pretty high %

yup, i follow. it's funny, early youtube vids were advising doing the corners but the latest ones advocate using the middle in a + shape like you mentioned and focusing on the exterior walls and ignoring the inner walls and roof completely.

This guy claims you need to destroy 70% of the exterior walls. The 2:00 mark shows some destructible m-com buildings and the 5:00 marks shows some specifics on c4'ing buildings.

Stick with me and you'll get a lot more D 2.0 kills. The best way to get them is team coordination too.

Have someone on your squad arm the mcom, then when people run in to disarm, BOOM. Drop the building on them.

I've posted it in this thread before, but in case you missed it you can do it with 4 C4 by doing this.

Probably works best in the instances when the mcom is on the second floor.

 

[1stStrike]

Probably works best in the instances when the mcom is on the second floor.

Totally depends on the situation. I've gotten many people because they were hiding on the second floor when I knocked the building down.

Also, on nelson bay at the second set of mcom's I got 4 or 5 D 2.0's once because we had taken A and the whole team was hiding inside B.

It also helps when you're playing against idiots/newbs. :lol

 

[Evolved1]

I guess anytime you see people on the second floor it's probably better to just drop the building than run upstairs. I don't carry C4 much though, so I don't think about it... but those opportunities happen all the time.

I don't think Destruction 2.0 is too hard... it's knifing friends that's kind of a bitch.

And everything from single player, because right now I can barely play that more than five or ten mins w/o wanting to fall asleep. God I would play through BC1 SP 10x before playing this crap voluntarily. It's awful. Terrible. Banal.

Make it stop.!

update: East severs still down.

oh yeah, this one is almost guaranteed. take A first and collapse B and you'll get a 2.0 because there's always someone in there.

There's some M-COMs that can't be <D 2.0>'d even if they're in a building that looks like it can be.

Port Valadez Third Set B, for instance. Of Nelson Bay last push B.

Yup, that's a good one, the first one I ever saw on C4'ing was this one, but he has some different methods (funny as hell though).

100% agreed on single player. I've given up hope of ever completing it, which is sad, cause I've completed the single player of most every other FPS I've played (except for Resistance 2)

You should just hop on your laptop or PC and play Subspace with me. It's actually pretty fun for a 12 year old top down space shooter. I play in one zone where you basically have to level up your ship and earn parts/weapons (gee, sounds a lot like BC2 doesn't it?)

It's a good time waster while I'm waiting on the BC2 servers to come back up (and it's like a 1.6 mb download)

70% is about right. i actually counted how many "wall panels" the buildings have and it takes 6/8 for the small buildings and 13/20 for the 2 story buildings (both the Desert and Winter styles) and 12/20 for the 'base' style building (2nd A on Port Valdez) the only weird building type is the long L shaped 1 story building (1st A on Nelson Bay) where there are 24 'panels' and you have to destroy 23 (less if the roof is destroyed)

 

[Hellcrow]

I haven't found the new vehicles yet, so I guess they are for onslaught. The UAV station on atcama has been placed on the upper boat floor, facing the boat so the user is shielded from snipers.

 

[MysticX]

Just dropped by to say that this game ROX!!!

And....PC MASTER RACE!!!

I even think that this game is better than MW2.

 

[Lead Farmer]

The more I play this game, the more pissed I get at DICE for fucking doing only 5 maps on this game. I get burned out on the game real fast and have to sstop playing for a few days to make it fun again. Battlefield: Modern Combat is still their best effort on consoles, gameplay was good and to me all 12-16 maps were great. FU DICE for following the nextgen trend...

I don't think I'll ever get tired of arica harbor. That map is a lot of fun and you can employ so many different strategies to take mcom's. Also, every server is different since everyone has their own play styles. You never know what a game will be like...

Granted, some maps (like nelson bay) get boring pretty quick, but 3 or 4 new maps will definitely breath some new life into this game.

Im reading some stuff on their forums, the patch has stuff not listed in the changelog:
-Points after death
-Several Maps layouts have changed.

There was a post on the EA UK forum stating that points after death will be dealt with in the upcoming patch not this one.
