Ugh... keep getting server full messages on servers that aren't full. They have 1-3 spots open but it wont let me in. Even with a refresh, it shows the same open spots. Getting annoyed and about to just call it a night.
Edit: WTF... just tried to get into a 32 player server that only had 13 players. Said that shit was full....

Is the Battlefield Veteran site still not working for Bad Company 2 and 1943? Also, how do you unlock the Garand? Wasn't it through Battlefield Veteran?

Anyone Win7/Vista users having PB issues even after they have manually updated it should try running the game as admin. BF2 Has huge PB problems under win7/vista unless you run as admin.

So if I remember correctly you were going to unlock the M1A1 Garand by linking both Bad Company 2 and 1943 to your Battlefield Veteran/EA Online account, correct? Well, since neither 43 or the BC2 linking are working on veteran.battlefield.com how do I see people online using the Garand? Am I missing something?
To everyone who would like the Xbox 360 version of the game for free:

Maybe I'll get my M1 tomorrow...
I was actually surprised that the servers held together more than they did during the 1943 launch.
The my soldier pages for 1943 were messing up around launch as well.
It'll get fixed soon enough.
Veteran however...
Ugh...I surely thought that by tonight the BC2 store would be up so I could put in my code for Squad Rush and what not...
When I entered my weapons and gadgets for Multiplayer, it prompted me to put in a code if I had one, so I was at least able to use the code that came with the game to unlock the maps and "perks" or whatever. Now I just want to use my Gamestop pre-order code to get the rest of my goodies

I have to admit, I cringed everytime I read "BFBC2 > MW2" replies or threads. But I'm slowly starting to agree with them, LOL!
It's all preference and they are two different but awesome shooter experiences, but right now, I'm liking BGBC2 better. I think it's the maps. They're so vast and so much to do! I can actually go on top of roofs or towers to snipe whereas in MW2 the ladders for the towers are blocked!
I like the huge maps because it feels more like a war.
It's really good and much better than I thought!
It also feels more intense than MW2, but in a different way. When I get kills in this game, it feels like an accomplishment and I feel good. In MW2, anyone can get kills even the biggest noobs!
I love both games but right now, BFBC2 is great!

Is there a way I can put GAF in front of my name (clan tag) without quitting out and relogging in? By the way I'm Vertigo-1 in-game

The manual for this game sucks
Press the back button when you spot an enemy. It'll bring up a red triangle over them so your teammates can spot them.
Note: This does not work in hardcore mode.

When you say back do you mean left on the d-pad? This has to be while you're alive right? Not while you're dead?
Is there like a more in depth manual on EA's website or something, explaining all this stuff you can do in multiplayer?

Cool! How long was it? Reviews say around 5-7 hours.Pankaks said:

No, the actual back button. If you're playing on PS3 it might be the select button.
Yes you have to be alive.

I haven't play past BF games that much so I'm now learning what spotting and dog tags are.
Now I want to get more melee kills! Ah the addiction!!!

I am in heaven. I just unlocked the red dot scope for the Medic class, and I am just continuously blown away by the new maps. Goddamn. Panama Canal is gorgeous. I think Atacama Desert is my new favorite map.

So, is the MP as good as planned ?
UltimaPooh said:
I am on the PS3, but nothing is labeled as the "back button." Select spots an objective. If we are playing rush, and I target a bomb site and push select, it sets that as the objective for my squad. Push that when I see an enemy as well?
Otherwise, X = jump, O = use/enter vehicle, Triangle = swap weapons, Square = reload.

That and much more!LordPhoque said:
But it all depends though. I know some people who can't get into this because they feel overwhelmed. I personally love it because of the scale.

Really? Eight and half hours? And I thought I took my time. It was no more than five for me on normal.
An excellent five, no doubt...but still only five.
God damnit the spotting "cooldown" or whatever it is the implemented over the demo fucking sucks. Its inconsistent as FUCK. Is it a cooldown ? Is it when ennemies are too far ? What the fuck is it ?
I hope it's a fuckin bug it's driving me crazy.
If it was to avoid exploit on PC at least leave it the way in was on console this is pissing me off way too much...
How could they fuck a feature up like this when it was perfectly fine in the demo ? ?
DIce said anything about that yet ?
Edit : conquest mode fucking sucks, just like in bad company 1. It was clearly designed around rush, and the maps are way to small for effective conquest games. Leave that for Battlefield 3.

tried to use my pre-order code for the free gun and mp mode, but the PS3 version says the store is not available.
Just me, or everyone? I assume everyone.
