I've got a case of the 'grass is always greener on the other side', a friend in my house got BC2 on the pc. He's only running it on medium, but some aspects just look and feel so much better. Obviously KB/M > controller for this, but the clarity and higher fps. The water! Real sweet.
That said, when is BC2 going to acknowledge that I have a bronze medal for every gun?
I checked my stats the other day and saw that the UZI, M9, MP-443 and M93R were bugged, they'd display being bronze but the Uzi only has 19 kills and the others were not bronze according to the website.
So I played a few games until I'd get a new medal for these guns, which turned out to be Silver at respectively 25 kills on each of them :| Still no patches for all weapons bronze and all vehicles bronze! that's 15k i'd love to have.
Oh and Oasis <3 even with just the pistol play, which is so much fun, 45 kills Awesome points.
oh and I HATE the m10 with a passion, piece of shit machinery.

It's not. I have a gold star or better for every weapon, gadget, and vehicle, but still don't have the 'all bronze stars' insignia.blanky said:That said, when is BC2 going to acknowledge that I have a bronze medal for every gun?

It's honestly an even split between both Viet and Vanilla on PS3.
It's why I barely bother to play unless Abu and others are on.
Probably never. Some people get a glitch where you get all the starts but nothing is unlocked. Some of us had that at launch, the fixed it and we got the insignia. Some had the problem since launch, got "fixed" but didn't get it. *shrug* Sorry, duder.
2 Free
2 Free remakes from BC1
4 pay for (Vietnam)/5 pay for (techincally, unlock contest in Vietnam right now)
All came in the last patch.
Ah well, I had already accepted it, but when I recently peeked at the stats on the website I thought I had solved it.
does anyone have tips regarding the M10 and Uzi on vietnam, I kinda want to get the achievements for that since BC2 was one of the 2 games I 100%'d but that gun is really getting on my nerves.

thanks seks. didnt realize 2 were remakes.
thats cool though. free real content is very welcome. i had lost hope there for a bit. looking forward to playing on the newer maps.
gonna pick up Vietnam soon too.
love motions mines. once i finally started playing recon i couldnt stop.
its my most used class by far now (after maxing out all classes prior), and i have a grand total of 2 kills with sniper rifles. :lol
gotta start whoring that VSS now.
just wish i could ditch the gilly suit.

I've been pretty bad lately, not just in Vietnam, Im having trouble aiming which was never an issue.
I had a game last night where I scored 50pts for the damn game, I was trying to snipe with the SVD and that's just not my forte. Im probably the worst sniper on GAF, which is why I rarely do it.

Which is odd and weird as you're better at everything else than some of GAF.
Also the SVD > M21 or whatever the M semi-auto is. Shitty scope and I can't aim it worth a damn so I have to spam it and die constantly. I'm better with bolt actions and the SVD due to MGS3. :lol Also:

I've lost the finesse it takes to be an effective sniper. When the game first launched Recon was my preferred class and I was a pretty good marksman if I must say so. I rarely missed a shot from failure to estimate distance properly and I was very good at headshotting moving targets.
After switching to playing mainly other classes, it's lucky if I estimate the distance on a target that's standing still on the first try. :-|

I think I might be way too aggressive and impatient when I snipe, just sitting around and waiting makes me paranoid too. I think someone is right around the corner and will knife me. I like the M40 though, but that SVD is a bitch.
Dreamgazer said:
Im by far the worst, only time I do well is when I put an ACOG on the M95 and treat it like a assault rifle. This is the background music that plays when I snipe, it just starts playing out of thin air.

M40 man It's all about the M40. Far away pop some heads off. Upclose go for quickscope center mass. I doubt you are the worst sniper on GAF.abuC said:
I also move around and a lot of times I snipe upclose.

It's all just a matter of time before my "tnt around the mcom" defense strategy takes off. Pretty soon, no one will be able to arm an mcom without blowing up.

What I noticed the other sniper rifles doesn't zoom as far as the M40. There were times I accidently picked the wrong rifle and reacted "WTF is this shit!?".

Yeah it's definitely more of a mobile Recon weapon for medium-ranged engagements. I love it like crazy and the M40 for different reasons. I really dig the M21's ACOG/scope hybrid!Crakatak187 said:
Just about 13 mil left for Hastings!
Anybody know why I keep getting the error message: "Failed to connect to EA Online" when I click log-in/play now/servers/vietnam/friendlist or anything like that? I can't even get to the log-in menu. I just bought the game through Steam sale and it's really frustrating the hell out of me. I just did a fresh install of Windows 7, opened all the ports, did the ECN disabling thing, turned off my firewall, restarted my computer, etc, etc. Do I need to register my CD Key somewhere or create an account (which I did at the EA website) or something? Someone help me out!

tips? uhh... get used to the kick so you can hit consecutive shots in the same spot. i dunno, i just don't like 'em and i liked the T88 /SVU in Vanilla.Mully said:

Couldn't find a random team that was decent at all when Server surfing. After 30 minutes of brain dead teams joining I stopped :lol

Yeah, just wait for the kick to return its spot. You can't really spam the trigger, go a little easy and it's great.The Faceless Master said:

I dont know why me and my friends never sniped this game upon first release. My friends and I are having a fucking blast playing this.
Question: The Update #3 pretty much installed the VIP maps on my xbox, so when I got the VIP download it just unlocked those maps?

this debacle of a thread pretty much made the light bulb go off in my head i got it now.
update #3 just put the content on your XBOX but you still have to purchase the items to unlock them. Makes sense now.

You guys using Turtle Beaches, what audio setting are you using? War Tapes the best?

No wartapes is overrated shit. Do you want to hear ever sound over-blown/exaggerated to ridiculous levels? Then by all means go for it.Mikasangelos said:

Surprisingly this is one of the few things I disagree with Stallion Free. Your Audio Mix "Cinema, WarTapes, Speakers, Headphones" are all independent from how many speakers you have.Stallion Free said:
You can confirm this for yourself if you check in BC2's .ini files. I've been running War Tapes with 5.1 for a while now and it's heavenly.
War Tapes is boss. It simulates the effect you'd get from the old-school war-tapes from history where a mic is on a soldier out in the battlefield. It defines the sounds nearer to you, while giving you a deeper low-end deafening on sounds that have such effect, like explosions. Oh and the environment alone sounds a bit more like your actually there.
The best way to hear the difference is switching it from war-tapes to your usual setting while your in a game, switch it on and off while your just sitting around alone and you'll hear the differences. Then go into battle or shoot off some rounds and see what I mean.
