Just platinum'd SV98. That's 2 so far!
Well, that's 4 so far. >_> Really, I rather have reliable hardware than worry about my shit breaking again. I do want to get a PS3, but I gotta fix my 60gig to get Portal 2 out of it again. :/ And then it'd break again months down the road. So I'm tired of that and already shifted my PS3 pre-order for BF3 to PC. >_>
Yeah, I'm not sure at this point. I mean some of the advantages that PC BC2 had are gone in BF3. On the other hand, I don't have to worry about the hardware. :/
I do have that BF3 PC pre-order. So... :/
I have to ask, Dream: Just how much did you apparently raise in my stead? >_>

That's expensive and won't last long. If I could fix the PS3 and get a new Slim to transfer my stuff, I would. I would lose PS2 BC, the main reason I bought the old PS3 in the first place.
I'm still pissed it kicked the bucket a year after I already paid $150 to get the GPU fixed in the first place. At least I know with a PC it wouldn't do that for a good 2-5 years. >_>

Bwuh? A reball replaces the soldering with lead-based solder so that it actually lasts years rather than weeks. The main cause of failure is usually just the crappy non lead-based melting or cracking. Last I checked, it's actually around the same price as sending it in to Sony, where you'll only get a refurb'd unit that was reflowed. Plus I know a guy who knows a guy (no seriously), so it's probably even slightly cheaper.

I need some help,does anyone know how to connect a 360 controller gamepad to B BC2, because they controller buttons are faulty when playing, essentially they dont work and i was wondering if i could get 1st hand help if anyone knows this issue or can fix it.
much appreciated for any help received

Yeah, well, I still want a new PC since a) more reliable b ) I need to replace my 6+ year old computer already anyway.
Like I said, it's a bit of a toss up since the PS3 is getting a few games that interest me now (like the P4 fighting game) that weren't there or not too missable when I was angry. >_>
In any case, I've already changed my pre-order to PC so that's the direction I should go.
In any case, CatPee: I've heard that the reballs are a luck of the draw thing, they may work for years. They may not, it depends on the skill of the person and I don't really want to risk my 80gig MGS4 on someones microelectronic skill. >_>

So after playing a bit on Xbox I have noticed some differences between the Ps3 and Xbox randoms. The randoms on xbox seem better coordinated, which makes sense since there are more mics, that said these dudes are aggressive as hell, like half the team will chase a spotted player. They just seem a lot more hell bent on getting kills at any cost, thanks to the cannon fodder my spm is just under 400.
The 360 controller is a lot more responsive, but you can't spot as easily as you can on ps3. I have big hands and its tough to keep moving/aiming and hitting the back button at the same time.

oh yeah, even without spotting, people in voice/party chat are like "who just killed you, where were they" ... "they were at ___" ... *crowd converges*

this is how we are on PC. we always chase down people if they get past enemy lines, and we know it's important because he could have buddies spawn in on him any second.The Faceless Master said:
only difference is that BC2-PC's VOIP is broken so we use mumble.

Just got my all gold achivement in Vietnam. Now, the heli kills are last till I max it out totally.
OldJadedGamer said:
Easy. Get in one slightly out of bounds while in conquest. And/or the one at "B" facing the US starting spawn on the rice paddy map. So long as people aren't focused on you with Magnum Ammo you can pretty much mow them down easy. But it's still a pain and work.

That's how it is on PS3 as well in my experience. I don't even need to tell people, sometimes you just have to mark an enemy and the randoms will all go running after them like bloodhounds.Cuban Legend said:

Thanks for the advice, I'll try it. At this point I'm sick of Vietnam guns and maps.
I love this as well. Seriously it's very effective to spot someone in BC2 and notice randoms turning their RPG's, guns, tanks, turrets all towards annihilating a stray enemy strolling down a hill.endlessflood said:
That rarely is the case even with mic communication. The new spotting system sounds more balance and fair though.

Magnum and headshots will get them every time. The only thing better is extra armor.
I'm so glad Demize saw my point and dropped Magnum Ammo and the armor. WORST. PERKS. IN. SHOOTERS. EVAR. Yes, even Commando is better than them. >_>
In any case, I'm still pissed they're dropping server browsers in PC BF3 for stupid matchmaking with Battlelog. Two steps forward, one gigantic step back. >:|

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
I like the speed that people die in BC2 w/ mag. The weapons feel too weak w/o it.
What we need is server options. So like a mode that is basically HC with the HUD would be perfect for my tastes. I'd even like the crosshair off but people put tape and shit on their screens to get around that, so it's not really fair for everyone.

They only feel weak because everyone else is using Magnum Ammo. We've been down this road before: MA breaks the balance. Without it the guns all kill evenly with reasonable exceptions in speed.
