well
1)There are multiple times where that was the only way we could have ever won the game.
2)It helps for spotting/killing people who are disarming.
3)It goes way faster assuming your teammates is at least doing some sort of damage to it.
I mean, 6-7 missiles is assuming no one else is doing anything (then it really does become a painfully slow drag.)
I wouldn't bother to get on the UAV if I know the overall team has a good chance against the opposition.
Yeah, lag free for me all weekend yet again. I almost forgot how insanely awesome this game is full tilt when all of your shots register and you aren't rubber banding all over the place. Managed to get back into the swing of things and rank up from 32 to 34 which is pretty significant considering I'd basically given up when things got so shitty with the servers.
Onslaught should have come with the game, it's not terrible at $10 but this is the kind of thing they need to keep those jackals off the choppers in a live setting, among other things. It's also better for a quick single player skirmish than loading up a campaign level. I agree with those who say that the Onslaught games run even better, very crisp. Haven't experienced any of the lagging or crashing in this mode thankfully.
I like the way they use the vehicles in the mode as well, it's not terribly creative but it emulates how a decent player would use them online behind terrain and cover, sans the engineer wrenching it up constantly. Surprising how frequently they T-90 your Apache on Atacama :lol

Glad to hear that console GAF is having better luck w/lag!
I was at a water park all day, otherwise I would have taken you up on your offer. Might be down to play tonight, though.

I played a lot this weekend, NO LAG!!!!!~ Holy crap they finally fixed it. I still sucked though, LOL. Oh well, no 2.0, was a massive failure, I did however, notice a lot of boosters in White Pass, with guys jumpin in and out of games to join the opposite to to try and get 2.0 kills. Tough to do really, but damn, I blew up so many houses, that they need to give a bonus for it, seriously, more C-4 kills, no 2.0 kills...AARRGGHH
I haven't picked up Onslought yet either, problem is my wife let me buy RDR for Father's Day, so now, I have another game to backlog, and/or share time with.

I'm not sure that one person's two game experience is indicative of server problems. Anyone else having lag issues on consoles?

Don't even say that... I just bought onslaught.
Anyway, turns out flying choppers is extremely easy when you have the controls mapped right. Putting the AI on hard and practicing taking out the AA gun is pretty fun. I feel like I could already ruin an opposing team in a reg match.
:lol
$10 for chopper practice. Well spent.

People are still talking about 2.0 kills? I got like 10 over the weekend. Easy stuff people. Just play Nelson Bay and bomb those mcom buildings.

What's comfortable for me is having everything set to normal/default except vertical flight which I have inverted. If you're flying backwards this might help you, since I was having the same problem. After a few mins with inverted I was very comfortable. Still practicing, but it's pretty easy now. I tried all the other configurations, but this is the only one I liked.
I *highly* doubt it will be going live today. We were supposed to get an update first thing this morning and it's almost quitting time for DICE and we still haven't heard a peep other than "no news about the patch".desu said:
The good news is that BF1943 PC finally got a release date....too bad DICE isn't mentioning anything at all about that though.
Using the analog sticks to fly = 5x better than the BC2 default. It takes a few tries to get used to, but once you get it down it's much more precise, and you can actually fly pretty well. That's how I'm able to circle strafe in the apache/hind. You turn left or right while going slightly up on the analog stick and you can whip that tail around as you need it.

Yea I should learn to practice the helicopter as well. Getting tired of running towards it and not hoping in until someone else comes to pilot.:lol

Go to A.Desert and mess around until you feel comfortable. If you don't leave the starting area, they wont attack you. Practice little moves first like landing taking off in a small area and you'll have no trouble in the air.

So my brother finally is home for the summer and wants to play some Bad Company 2 for PS3! But, low and behold! The VIP code is exclusive to one PSN ID and not the console itself. I've spent an hour arguing with EA Support at which point I requested the issue be upgraded to a higher department.
Either they will manually upgrade his status to VIP and give me the content I paid for, provide a new VIP code, or I'll spend the next week talking them in circles over the phone wasting man-time that is worth way more than they're trying to fuck me in the ass for.
A friend is extending the olive-branch and offering to allow me to try the VIP activation they suckered him into purchasing (similar situation, but with his father instead of brother) and I'm wondering if anyone knows if that would inconvenience him in any way by restricting his content?

Do you guys think there's a thing as too much spotting? I was thinking about this while playing with gaffers last night. Usually when I play, I tend to press select like a madman whenever enemies are around and I guess doesn't really give other people a chance to spot. I just can't help it.

You should have been around for the beta / demo. You could spot everyone on the other team with 3-4 clicks.. no limit. I like how it is now personally.
