Wow Crak, just checked your stats and you've played almost 500hrs! :O

I just started to get back into today and still haven't lost my touch. I kinda like the new maps so far. Harvest day is friggin huuuge. I need to start playing with Gaffers again so let me know if you wanna play on ps3.

We generally start playing around 6 or 7PM EST. Crack generally shows up at around 10PM EST. Really, you have no excuse not to check around those times and join someone on Evolved or Dream's list.

got this game a couple of days ago, first thing Ive noticed is standard guns you start with are fucking awful, I'm at a Massive disadvantage till I get a scoped gun what seems to take a while.

Default guns are fine. AEK's iron sights being shit not withstanding.

You're only at a "disadvantage" because you don't have Magnum Ammo and the higher level players generally have that slapped on 99% of their guns. 1% using armor, otherwise you're on the balance with everyone. One less/more bullet doesn't unbalance the guns.

9A-91 (the default engineer gun) is a pretty beastly weapon. M91 (or M95? forget the designation, the default sniper) is good too, as it the AEK and the Medic starting gun.

There's really no "unbalance," in the game. Just people (mostly me) bitching about how most players are using one perk and that makes it lopsided for those of us that try to use others. :lol

I'm pretty addicted to Oasis on Hardcore. What a great map.

Sure people have moaned about this before but balance here is all wrong, New players don't have a hope in hell.

Secondly the LAG in this game is shocking, I remember BattleField 2 running far better then this with 64 Players!!!

Starting weapons are some of the best in the game. Every gun kills.

Couple LMG's are shit... one of the SMG's is shit... I think the SVU is shit... but everything else is pretty interchangeable. Starting SMG is pretty godly once you get the hang of it. Reminds me of the "thumpers" from Borderlands. Probably be my next platinum (after the CG, need 10 more kills).

Use body armor once it's available, imo, it negates the MAG ammo advantage high level people have. I use MAG (sorry Seks) but I lose 1 vs. 1 to BA often enough.

I used to think some weapons were way better than others, but now I go out of my way to use "bad" weapons and honestly haven't seen much drop in my play. Occasionally I'm getting killed by guys w/ <10% health but I'm thinking that's more to do with hit recognition/lag issue since the patch than the weapons I'm using.

The only starting weapon I'm not a fan of is the PKM, the rest of the starting arsenal is actually pretty good. If those don't suit you accordingly, the SAW, SCAR, and XM8 (Next guns unlocked in each class respectively) are all very solid.

It's been a while since I've played BC2 but is it me or do the guns feel like they do more damage and running is now a lot faster?

Also anyone here play on PC, most of my BC2 game friends don't anymore.

Just you. Unless you are running into players and equipping yourself with lightweight and Magnum Ammo.

Lots of us here play on PC we usually have 8 or more playing, using the PC-GAF mumble server to communicate during our meet-ups. Playtime's on weeknights usually vary from 5PM-2AM EST, weekends we play more often.

Join us now if you like, we've got almost 8 of us in here... look through the last 2-3 pages, we've posted some of our steam links so PC-GAF can add us. http://steamcommunity.com/id/Cuban_Legend That's my steam.

Ill be on in a 10 minutes. Great leafs game, now time for some BC2 domination

Started playing today for pretty much the first time and I stink . Coming from Black Ops is making it worse. I'm so use to the run and gun in your face no teamwork game that this is difficult for me to adapt. Any pointers?

Play with us. What version do you have?

 

[mr_nothin]

Is anybody getting disconnected a lot? PC version here.
I keep getting disconnected not just from the game server but the EA servers altogether. I just got a new video card and now I'm getting disconnected.

GREAT

Yes.

Stop playing it like Call of Duty. It isn't it.

Throw out ammo
Throw out medic kits
Repair tanks (if the teammate isn't an idiot, he won't run off)
SPOT SPOT SPOT. DEAR GOD SPOT.

PLAY ALL CLASSES. IF THERE IS A DEFERENCE IN ONE CLASS, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SWITCH!

In addition to that, if you're a recon, DON'T SIT THE FUCK AROUND AND PLAY ONLY RECON IF A TANK IS IN YOUR FUCKING BASE RAPING IT.

AKA: Play as a team, but this should be a "No, duh" thing. Welcome to the light, my child. Now get ready for a superior to CoD experience and wish CoD was like this.

Which version?

Dumbass question but what can I do as a medic until I actually qualify for the first aid kits?

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Is there a GAF server?

 

[TheSeks]

Shoot people. Or make a Battlefield Hero's account (don't have to play) link it to your BC2 account, and unlock the class items instantly.

Is there a GAF server

There was on launch, that fell through IIRC. PCGAF/Steam group uses mumble and sets up times. You can just play with them.

Edit: And I know Faceless and the rest of you are playing, but it's late (Faceless didn't get on at 10 or hell 9. ) and I haven't been feeling so hot lately. Which is why I'm playing GT5. Sorry to not play with you guys, I'm sure you really need me. ()

I have an account but how do I link it?

 

[TheSeks]

EA.com, Veterans thingy on BC2. If you're using the same account, it should link them automatically. otherwise you'll need to choose the games you are using for Veterans and link them through that. NOTE this may take a day or two or an hour. EA is slow. But from them on if you use those linked accounts in future battlefield titles you don't need to worry about vet status unlocks. (And you'll get the M1 and 1942/43 Machine Gun in addition to the kit unlocks to boot!)

Also note this would just give you the kit, not the defib. You'll have to unlock that.

Good games tonight, we lost our first match on Oasis and then after that we won about 8 straight before I left. I really like Cold War, we destroyed the attacking team too, they couldn't even get down the hill. We had a bunch of snipers down by the crates, and then about 6 of us pushed all the way up to the boundary line, it was a massacre

During the Harvest Day attack round I got nemesis pins against 3 kids.
They got so freaking mad at one point that they all chased after and killed me, shot my dead body, tea-bag, etc etc............while the M-com I just armed was about to blow.:lol

that Cold War defense was hilarious! all i did was sit back, throw sensors, snipe people and drop mortars. i got on the 2nd floor HMG for a bit to clear trees and then went back to snipering when some guy shot an RPG a bit too low. his next shot took out the MG, good thing i moved!

just got finished. after everyone bailed on Nelson Bay, we got a pretty nice Harvest Day -> Port Valdez -> Harvest Day map rotation. then White Pass showed up and we all quit after winning on attack :lol :lol :lol

Jtrizzy got hatemail! he was on the UAV on Harvest Day from the start of the game to the end!

hey, you were jiving...

Damn right I was dancing all night long before I started to drive virtual cars. Wait, what?

No but, seriously, I needed the break and I probably will be on this evening around 7PM if you're on. Otherwise I'm going to grind cash in GT5 before the GT Academy Time Trials start on Monday for free cars.

Defintely not from your English skills. "Our," dude. "Our!" ;p

Anyway, I may be playing tonight for an hour or two if Faceless gets his butt on. Otherwise I may just GT5 or SSF4.

 

[Evolved1]

Pretty tired atm because I was diving most of the day... too tired to deal with circle strafers. Sorry Rock, had to bail.

Need to eat something/get an hour of sleep and I'll be back later.

It's really hard to keep a group playing once an old map loads. New maps have a done of peeps on them but the second an older one comes up then 3/4 the people drop.

Apparently Engineer is too good now, which is crazy because I die to Assaults and Recons and Medics as an Engineer. :/

 

[Dreamgazer]

Two reasons:
1)Most of the new maps are vehicle-heavy, so people figured it would be best to go engineer.
2)Scoped M14/G3 + Carl Gustav is the new overhyped "killing machine" among some other forums.

Indeed. I never use it just because of that reason, that and I love tank killing.
