There was a Hitler Reacts vid made for the BFBC2 Demo which was easily the best one of those vids I've ever seen. Sadly it got taken down after the copyright claims were being thrown around and it's never come back upCuban Legend said:

thats it, x360 controller ambidextrocity means you need to get a PC and play the BF3 beta with us.abuC said:Played a game on 360, sucks that I have no weapons but it was hilarious even though we lost. They put me in a game with a bunch of level 35 and lower, the result:

Can't keep that vid down.

Haha, I am having trouble with the controls, haven't used an xbox in almost a year. The tank controls are trash and its harder to spot while running than it is on Ps3. There's less of a deadzone too, I'm overshooting when I aim.Cuban Legend said:
That said, I will be joining the master race soon, after my ps3 died I was on Newegg cursing Sony and Microsoft. Is there a ritual after it's built, or will I ascend into Valhalla the moment it is powered on?

the PC MASTER RACE ascension only occurs after you've performed in BF3 as well as you do in BC2 on consoles.abuC said:

Doing better than me isn't part of becoming a real PC gamer as he asked.Stallion Free said:
It's about him being able to reproduce his console performance on PC.
Thanks man, I have the money, its more a matter of principle than anything else. If I buy another ps3 that'll be around $800 to Sony in less than 5 years, and I'm already on my 2nd Xbox, my old dreamcast still works, but my Ps3 can't even make it 5 years.JJD said:
I might send it to Sony to get fixed at some point, but for now my cash will go to my pc.
abuC said:
I know how it feels, my MGS4 PS3 died a couple weeks after PSN came back online. I still miss the backwards compatibility, and I'm on my second 360 too. If you change your mind you know where to find me!
I guess 360 GAF now have a fighting chance? Lol, just kidding guys!
I'm still disposed to help Seks, didn't know Dreamgazer was trying to raise funds.

I told seks that I'll either contribute an amount to a new ps3 or pc parts if he ultimately decide on that route (If I can find a new slim PS3 for under 200, I was just plan on getting it for him.)
That plan is kinda on haitus now since he's banned (for god knows how long) and there's no way for me to contact him so...
I didn't want to make the fund raising thing public, cause I'm not sure people would trust to give me money lol.

should have invited me!abuC said:
Thanks, and yeah it sucks, I really got my xbox plugged in to use netflix. I know for you it's even worse when a system dies since they charge so much for them in Brasil. I'll probably get it fixed though, most of my friends have Ps3s and I like the Gaffers I've played with on Psn.JJD said:

i wish i recorded some of mine... had an epic one on Valparaiso attack tonight! had our blackhawk in almost perfect formation with the cutscene blackhawks, and just before the game ended, one of my gunners bailed and popped his chute. it was amazing!endlessflood said:

PC is the way to go I have to say. The difference between the PS3 version I've played the most vs the PC version on a 580 is pretty massive. I'm playing BC2 at the same resolution (1280x720)I was on PS3 with better frame rate and in 3d with no overclocking yet. Still got work to do kb/m wise, but it's worth it for the sparks and extra fps especially.
Muahaha, at least. I got all Pins! I was luchy enough to have a good random squad in squad deathmatch.
Now, only 2 more Excellence Pins and 17 C4 kills to have all medalas. Well, minus specacts because I didn't buy it.
BTW, yesterday I was playing in Laguna Alta, and a guy positioned himself in some hill so when the Winning screen showed up he threw a grenade in front of the camera. It was really cool (n_n).

I'm gonna add you this weekend ok? Want to get into PS3GAF, especially before BF3 (I assume the list will apply to both).Evolved1 said:Hey dude... check this post.
I'm doing okay and having fun even playing with randoms because this game is awesome but really would love to play with competent players who talk.

More the merrier. I'm back to classes now and have a pretty huge workload this semester... so weekends is when i'll be on the most. Here and there intermittently during the week.
A lot of PS3 gaf is on daily though.
Pfff what a terrible day.
Joined 6 different servers, not a single one had a semi-competent team.
Heck in one game 3 retards were fighting for the chopper all the damn time, waiting for it to spawn and when they lifted off, they never lasted more than 30 seconds.
On atacama desert we had 3 fucking tanks that would not move out of our own damn camp. And to top it of, a chopper circle-strafing our own base. FFS
Did quite a bit to turn the tide, but a single guy can't capture and defend 4 bases at the same time.
When I tried to search for another server, I got dropped into the same game 3 times in a row. Once on the other side.
The seemingly decent team on the other side when I was on team fucktard suddenly turned into insta-shit.
Started to wonder if I was the one dragging the whole team down after 2 worthless hours.
By the time you guys started joining, I wasn't having any fun at all and it showed.
Didn't matter if we won those rounds or not.
Nothing worked because I was too pissed off.
The only reason I even stayed for a couple more rounds was because I didn't want to leave after you joined in. Didn't want to be that guy...
Probably did more harm than good though as I could imagine it being much fun at all.
TLDR I HATE playing with randoms.
It ends up being game-ruining and making me wonder why I wanted to play in the first place.

I don't get this Spec-specialisation. It doesn't do anything. I can only mark enemies with the select-button.

Sorry to bail on you after that one loss... but that team was miserable. They allowed our chopper to be stolen. They wouldn't push to take B or C and everywhere I looked we had unmanned vehicles. I mean empty T-90's everywhere.
I played 5 mins and was halfway up the scoreboard. And I was just playing boring-style recon with M24. (did kill three tanks w/ C4 though lol)
Like you say... randoms. ugh.

If you're refering to the spotting scope for recon - it's not an instant thing.
You'll have to scope in and anyone who is within your scope's view for 6-10 seconds will automatically get spotted.
It's really only useful for wookies who just stare down their scope for hours at a time.

I would like to see a DPS comparison of the various tank specs... like for instance Warhead vs Reload.
Anyone have those BC2 weapons charts? If reload lets you get off another shot faster... I wonder if that is better than increased damage.
I want to do the math.
edit: currently I use warhead because it's the most flexible spec. It's helpful to both the pilot and gunners. More effective machine guns for the gunners (or as a gunner) is hard to pass up. I also use smoke quite a bit. Smoke is actually my favorite tank spec. but you can't use it as a passenger... so that's why I go with warhead unless I know I'll be pilot.

In my experience, Warhead will kill a tank in 2 shots at the side/back if there's no Armor. Reload's benefits are minimal at best. Warhead is also quite useful against infantry because of the increased power of the blast radius. Warhead is also fantastic when used with light tanks against both infantry and vehicles. Alt feels kinda useless because if you can see infantry, you can hit them with the tank cannon and kill them in one shot as opposed to having to guide the cannon along and try to kill with the MG.
I use smoke, armor, electronics and warhead in that order, but it depends on the map and how many tanks I might be facing. As a defender its typically smoke/armor, I think I'm a good shot and can put two shells on most opposition before they can get one on me since most people stop to shoot and I keep it moving. I like electronics after the first set of arica and harvest day, no sneaking up for you.

Oh...
Smashing select works 1000x better. I always choose my GOL (no sway
) with Magnum bullets. I don't know if it makes the gun stronger, as I'm only aiming for the head and the other special stuff doesn't make sense to me..Take the Faceless pro-tip and swap out that shitty Mag spec for Ammo, an extra 15 rounds and potential kills. As you already stated, leaving them with 2% health or 20% health is fairly irrelevant when you're aiming for headshots. Explosives spec also works wonders on boosting the effectiveness of your Mortars on bands of dis-armers and campy vehicles.Patrick Bateman said:

As well they should be! I did venture into CQC recon and it was ok... doesn't really suite my play-style though. And point-blank shooting at someone only to have it miss is real annoying real fast >.>
I find playing recon I always go back to the spotting scope no matter what. Seems to not only help my team more, but also lets me scan rather quickly and have it pick up targets sitting in bushes I wouldn't see unless I focused on that area (which often causes death when looking for/at another sniper).

Hmm? What is this madness? I play on PC, but there's a button that lets you manually tag people in your scope with the red arrow instead of having to wait for it to auto do it?

i use warhead most of the time and try to position my tank to take hits on the front while i hit their side/back. on smaller CQ maps (White Pass, Laguna Alta, etc) i use vehicle motion sensors and i use optics on some attacking maps. i only really use smoke when the other team is full of engineers.
i tried the spotting scope a few times and found it to be useless because i'm always pressing the back button anyway...
