Very impressed so far. Nice clean font used for the text in "searching for games please wait..." Stellar framerate on the the little circle that spins around. Nice lengthy campaign, feels like it takes hours. They definitely keep the tension up by saying "joining game..." just before saying "Connection to the game server has been lost. Please check your network connection and try again." Ending sucks though.

Agreed, Rush is a waste of time on PC; probably better for console since you rarely need to do quick 180s in such linear maps.Teknopathetic said:

Yea, kinda disappointed with single player. It's like a made for tv version of cod's story mode. Online kicks ass though. My only complaint so far with online is that their are too many lone wolves running around. This causes some 1 sided server matches on PC. One server I was in, my team constantly kept winning. Some of the players on the other team quit, but the game didn't balance out the team numbers. I had one game where it was like 10 vs 15 or something, which really sucks. With no team scramble or auto balance, it's kind of a crap shoot on finding a balanced server(luckily there's a gaf server).

"disagree totally"
It wasn't an opinion.

Also, you can't leave a game after winning/losing. You have to wait for the server to load before you can go into the menu ui and quit.

Got a little bone to pick here, when I need to suicide myself to switch classes and blow up the tank that's annihilating my team I don't need a 5 second screen that tells me I epic fail (hell I did ask to suicide so how do I fail? yeah I would have lived had I not chose it wtf). Just let me re-spawn as normal please.

I've played tons of BC1 on my PS3, and no veteran unlock for me. :/
Is the PS3 store up yet?
I played a couple multiplayer rounds earlier and the first three levels of the campaign (PC). So far I'd say this game looks like a poor man's Crysis, that's a compliment actually as Crysis is still the best looking game in existence. Some of the textures are ass and Crysis still wins out when it comes to a lot of the details (foliage, for example) but I'm really happy with how BFBC2 looks, especially considering how well it runs. My only complaint so far is that the server browser is just as shit as it was in the beta. It takes so fucking long to bring up the list, I have a feeling I'm going to be using the Friends and Favorite Servers tabs on the left and right side of the screen quite a bit. Logging into my EA account doesn't bother me at all since it logs in pretty much instantly (when EA's servers are up, anyway).

A lack of Conquest mode is why I stopped playing the original. By the time it was patched in I had moved on. Rush mode sucks.

If it's like all previous BF games, each team slowly loses tickets. The more bases you control, the less tickets you lose each tic. The object is to control more bases, so your team loses tickets slower than your opponents, therefore they run out of tickets faster and you win.

on the friends screen and do a search for friend
look for gafbcbf2 and request friend
if gafbcbf2 isn't full, it will automatically accept.
now anytime you want to play with a gaf user, go look at gafbcbf2 profile and click on the 2nd tab and you'll see his friends list. now you can see all the gaf players.

EA servers overloaded? My stats don't update, it doesn't recognize any weapons I've unlocked.

Tickets are "lives". Each time a player dies and isn't resurrected by a team mate a ticket is lost. Controlling more control points then the other team causes their tickets to slowly tick down, the more points you have over them the faster they tick down. First team to 0 loses.

Sorry if these are noob questions...but where the hell is the PC version store? Isn't there some VIP code I'm supposed to input somewhere to get some maps? Are those limited edition perks already unlocked for me as well?
Another question: For sound settings, I have a 5.1 surround setup. Should I choose hifi or home cinema?

Conquest=Battlefield, always was...always will be.
Anyone else having graphics issues on PS3? For one, my blacks are too black in a lot of maps and I lose shadow detail. It wasn't like this in the beta or demo and I haven't changed my TV or PS3. fixed by putting in-game contrast way down.
The second thing is explosions at a distance. I won't see the RPG trails or explosions, only the debris. Same for grenade launcher rounds and mortar strike. This doesn't happen every time but enough where I noticed; again no problems on the beta or demo.
I also have some roadkills with the atv that it didn't register which could be up to lag, but again it happened too many times.

How do you change FOV in the PC version? I thought that was added

Ok I'm only rank 2 since I've been mostly playing medic and they thought it would be funny to only give the medic a machine gun, pistol and 0 ways to actually be a medic and gain points at first.. So far I've unlocked the healing pack but it doesn't show up in my gear config so I can't even use it, I'll work on my engy for now since more than enough noobs play recon and assault. I won't touch those 2 classes until I've max my medic and engy. I've loved the series and so far my only disappoints are that you can really tell that the maps were made for rush, they're not really open at all however its not that big of a deal.
I can't wait for mods..it really needs jets and harder heli controls.

Do you use Internet Connection Sharing? I have to disable it to get BFBC2 and RF:G to work.Linkzg said:
