I ordered on Amazon too, and I'm under the impression that it will automatically show up on your Amazon account.

It's credited to your account. On your next game purchase, you should have the option to take $20 off as if it were a coupon.

I doubt it since I've had this happen multiple times. The scenario that really sticks in my mind was when I was playing solo as Assault on Port Valdez. We were attackers and were pushing into the Harbor. I had infiltrated the back 3 story tower (where Snipers usually hang out), but had taken a ton of damage as the Bradley had seen me during the crossing. I hung out on the third floor of the building and started launching grenades as my ammo pack would refill them. After a while of doing this, my screen was no longer red so I ran across to the B MCom Station and got killed while planting. I wasn't in a squad at the time (I was playing solo and squad hopping as needed) so noone could have spawned behind me.

It's not short by any means, but it does show that given enough time, the regen will take you to 100% health.

There were times where it was almost 100%. The edges were just a little black/darkened w/o the bloodstains.

It's not actually trolling if you don't admit it
In multiplayer, you never regen health. Your screen stops "bleeding" but your health number will remain at whatever it was when you took the hits. You only heal via medics and their packs.

In single player, there is no health meter and you recover health a la COD.

Hey, to those who asked questions during last Friday's conference call I had with DICE, here are some of your answers"

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 – “We take our PC Games Seriously”

Discussing Private Matches:

For all the clans out in, here is the positive news you have been looking for.

“You can create a private session and invite up to 24 players on the console, up to 32 on the PC. So there’s definitely room to build your own play sessions. The ability to create private matches is a way to everyone to build something of their own and have play sessions that are more personal.”

...

Peripheral support for the consoles:

While PCs and consoles have always been magnetically different, Bach has thoughts on why peripheral support for the consoles hasn’t been a feature regularly explored.

“I don’t think that we have any special connections to peripherals to the consoles … The biggest problem with peripherals for consoles is that the console itself is a level playground. It’s even and you know the consumer has the same technology and have the same peripherals and same controls – which makes it easier for us to create a game that feels fair. By catering to a mouse and keyboard for the consoles, it would maybe skew the even playground.”

...

Separate controls for the infantry, vehicles and aircraft and mouse sensitivity:

Hearing feedback from players who have actually played through title on the controls of Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Bach decided it was a good time to discuss the controls and their reasoning behind having vehicles control different.

“There is, of course, sensitivity settings, but I don’t know if they are individual on specific vehicles … Looking at the UAV versus the helicopter controls, we tried to make a distinct difference between the two. Having the UAV be a more easy to maneuver and easy to control vehicle… It’s a more of a hovering entity. As opposed to the helicopter that you should not die when you fly the helicopter – that was a key thing… It needed to be more agile to do more spectacular moves and do things that helicopters can do. That was a call that we made quite early to make a distinct difference between the two.”

Thats what I kind of figured...BUT I've never had my screen go completely back to normal. There was always something in the corners.

How are you sure? Has this been tested? I could have sworn I've seen squad mate's health regenerating, without a health pack nearby. And they've also said there is no health regen in HC mode, as opposed to normal mode.

Yeah I'm pretty sure you regen health in multiplayer. I know i've taken hits, then hidden, then taken hits, then hidden, etc.

this debate again ¬¬

You do regenerate in the Multiplayer, it just takes a longer time, longer than you think. Unless they took it out in the retail copy.

Hm, I wonder who will end up in my first day squad.

Luckily, a bunch of people on my friend's list are getting it, so I'm not going to have a problem finding a squad.
