i dunno about FIFA, but in BC2, you can use other accounts and still play VIP maps. my friend has played BC2 on a different account on PS3 and i've played on another account on 360, although at launch, it didn't work on 360 (didn't try on PS3).Pkm said:

seriously, no team damage on a vehicle your teammate is in basically makes vehicles invincible to normal vehicle destroying amounts of damage.vixlar said:
BC2's current damage model with no Killcam, BC1 style team damage and no regenerating health would be awesome.
it's not even really adding it per se! IT WAS IN THE EARLY BUILDS!!! there's videos! i remember i made a post comparing the Vietnam HUD to the BC2 HUD. i wonder who decided "man, those compass directions are really cluttering the HUD..." and got it removed...Fersis said:
nah, i only really play Medic on Nelson Bay Conquest... plus, like i said one time (to a great response) i don't even need the points!TheSeks said:

It's funny that amazing, last stand wins as defenders are that much more frustrating as an attacker. Friend and I had two rounds as attackers on Port Valdez where we got stonewalled on the last MCOM. First time it was MCOM A that was left, second time it was MCOM B.
With MCOM A, our squad actually reach the MCOM and armed it, but then the defenders swarmed and took us all out, except one--a fucking recon who hid away at the second floor of the trailer and didn't bother to run down and kill the one guy disarming it after we had fought/died. This happened TWICE (as we respawned on him immediately to try again).
Second time, we were just ROLLING through the opposing team the whole round. Our squad takes out MCOM A and we died trying to get into MCOM B (I think their whole team was inside). After that, no one got near it.

yeah, Final B on Port Valdez (and Nelson Bay) is rough if A is destroyed first and everyone piles in. throw a few sensors, ammo boxes and health kits into the mix and have people fairly spread out and it's crazy tough to get in.Mr. Snrub said:It's funny that amazing, last stand wins as defenders are that much more frustrating as an attacker.

My wife is usually watching movies on it. Last game she tried playing was Resident Evil 5 but the controls made no sense to here and the movement was making her dizzy.
She asked me the other day who all the people were with the weird names that kept coming online.
I'm gonna try to get on tonight, need some stress relief.

Nice, thanks!
So, from the video:
-Possibly day/night variations of the maps (or a day/night cycle)
-Every map WILL have a Rush/Conquest variation
-Exact same engine in BC2, minor improvements in visuals
-Compass (as we all know)
-Experience points carry over from BC2
Have they said whether or not all the guns have to be unlocked via levels, or is everything just going to be open from the start?

Yeah... I bought a wheel for that shit. Can't wait. There really aren't enough hours in a day.
Edit: wow my first game after waiting all day to play and now I couldn't care less... rush can be so fucking stupid. DICE really sucks sometimes. They talk about all the things they do to keep the game fast paced and discourage camping (like removing prone) but they they let assholes C4 crates through walls or from different floors... and all the other non C4 people are stupid fucking recons who just snipe and drop mortars (why does this affect my aim so bad Im not even near the impact zone) from ten miles away until they have 20 tickets... and then they cheese the crate after you've put up with their bullshit pussy tactics for 15 mins. This game promotes douchey play... and current RUSH rules do more to encourage camping retards than something like prone ever did.
BC2 is incredibly fun at times... I think it's somehow successful despite the developers best efforts to ruin it. I really doubt their ability to balance gameplay or to design a solid framework for any particular game mode.
Ok now that I got the bitching out of my system... I'll go back to playing

Dubbed's helicopter is scary (WHOOO CIRCLE STRAFE) unless he's distracted, in which case he becomes your anti-aircraft bitch. :lol

LMAO. Was that last kill in the defending Arica Rush round your tank shell hitting the UAV controller at the first set, Abu? That was hilarious. :lol
Edit: LOOOOOOL "@ six C4 ATV back-and-forth trips with UFRA in an empty server after a LONG (~1 hour?) sniping pissing match until DICE gets people in there.
I also got UFRA humping killcams now after annoying bastards. :lol

Yeah that guy sneaking around the back of our base on Arica Harbor was annoying me. I shot him a ton of times, and was chasing him for like a minute. Finally you got him and I had to hump him in celebration of his failed tank stealing mission.
What a long and drawn out battle that was between a bunch of snipers on Laguna Presa. Sheesh. However, I managed to make 20,000 points that round. Platinum star'd my AT4, and got the 100 sniper headshots award. 15,000 alone just between those two awards, then misc. points up to 20k.
The best part was embarassing the guys with "PRO" as their clan tag as I sniped snipers with my AT4's.

Yeah, after my anti-tank mines at the start they hesistated. Sorry about that!
Also most of the other team rage quit after we cheese moded. That's what happens when you abuse UAV C4 even once, assholes. >:|
I'm also surprised you were able to hit people with the AT4 across the map. I could barely see shit with the HDR+Bloom in snipers.
It was like a good five or ten minutes before I went "FUCK THIS SHIT!" *runs into mortar so I don't suicide for nothing*
Sniper HEADSHOT!
(Hump the killcam of "SO PRO" clan)
and then you join me and then Crack got bored and joined us and I'm like "NO! I NEED AMMO DAMN IT!"
Then it was practically musical chairs for all the classes until those 4 people joined and ran the tickets out.

Didn't miss much really faceless. Not much Gaffers stayed long today. Olimpia and 8 bit played for an hour or so and after that it was me, JM, Seks, and Abu.
Funny thing you guys forgot to mention the Nelson Bay match on defending. Those guys were actually C4ing the M-COMs instead of collapsing it. After they took the first base three of us hopped on a heavy gunner and shot most of the trees down in a short amount of time. The cheesers were left with no option other then sniping
I guess we got a new gaf Nelson bay strategy. Triple heavy gun trees right after first base. Less then a minute all the good trees were down.

You're right, I forgot about that.
I remember at one point on that map, I was standing behind some crates waiting to see some enemies, and then I was like, "Hmm, what's the rest of my squad doing?"
I look at your names, and all 3 of you guys had the stationary weapon logo next to your name, and I pressed pause to check the map, sure enough. You're all on 50 cals just destroying those guys. :lol

:lol I actually flew the Havoc better than Apache last night for some reason. Though when evolved wasn't gunning I made the opposing chopper my air bitch and single-seated shot them down as a full chopper. AA messed me up Valdez, got that 1 good hit and sent me spinning before I could get a second volley in.
Valdez is just tricky to fly on Atacama is by comparison easy dodging the AAA.
The Arica GAF v GAF Conquest was insane I even pulled out the AEK and I think the final tally was like 2-0 and you guys won. Though our Gaf squad (8bit evolved and I) manged a comeback on the second Valdez.
UFRA said:
:lol Well, to be honest the trees were already down when I got on them. I'm not sure who did that, but thanks! They were down by the time they took A by C4'ing it.
What's hilarious about that match to me is I pissed them off enough to where they took out the Heavy MG. I go climb the walls and cover the UAV ("FUCK YOU YOU ASSHOLES YOU AREN'T GETTING ON THAT THING!" was my words), only to go around their base, snipe about 4-5 of them with the G3 and have them trying to take me out.
NOPE.avi, I get back up the walls and kill them any time they took me out. :lol
Arica was lagging BAD for me, last night. I was getting a bunch of warping when moving past barriers and shitty hit detection. :|
What's funny about that for me was I was in Abu's tank (with V RELOAD so he could fire continuously) it is taken out by mortar (IIRC), as I'm firing on the humvee/jeep of that dude. I get out, run THROUGH the base as you chase him. XM8 Compact him near the stationary AT facing the main road. NOPE, don't get him.

"EAT SHIT!

That was actually REALLY lucky as it had about 10% of it's health left when I took you out.
Then you guys stole the helicopter of dream's team (who I switched to) and someone tracered it and I RPG'ed the helicopter. I'm not sure if I took it out as I died from it's volley, but I do know I got some points taking it out.
Dubinenglish chopper is scary.
Lucky for us we had Rockscar2 'The Chopper Killer' on our squad.

I REALLY hope that BC2V has some sort of server option to balance teams while taking into account ranks. No fun going against a team with 6 50's. Or have the option to lock servers to certain player levels.

Just some sort of skill balancing would be great. I know properly admin'ed servers keep an eye on this, but it would be nice to have at least a few servers separated by levels.
Regardless of how skilled a player is, if your team is levels 1-20 going against 40-50's, I'd think there is a fairly good chance they'd mop the floor with you. Not ALL the time--but an option would be nice. Surprised FPS's haven't borrowed this MMO idea yet, considering almost all FPS's are moving toward higher level=more powerful designs :-\
