Amen brotha. Haven't had as much fun with this game in a while. And yeah, how many rounds did we play? 10? And we were 1, 2 & 3 in like 8 of them. Really speaks to how much teamwork & chemistry effects things, because I generally blow.

i use the Pro Tube (Smoke) because it's hilarious. and occasionally to help the team against good defensive setups. since i've platinumed the 40MM GL, i've been using the 40MM SGN and it's still a beast like i remember from getting a gold with it.
ever since i used V-ELECT (vehicle motion sensor) when getting the gold star for water vehicles, i've been hooked on using it on some Conquest maps. at first i was just playing around with it in Arica Harbor and left it on, and i found out that it's AMAZING in White Pass. it almost feels unfair. it's really good on Laguna Presa and Laguna Alta as well.

Yeah, we definitely played well together. I think it's partly because we talked a fair amount... Asking for ammo, telling the squad where you were at, what you were doing and what enemies you saw, spotted or were killed by. I think it also helped that in general the 3 of us stuck together. I remember on defense on Arica went we finally locked them down. We were calling shit out left and right, directing fire. So fun (and effective)!

Forgive the newb question, but I just joined the party. How do use and/or unlock the parachute?

It takes me so long to send a message through XMB during a game I don't know how you guys do it in a timely manner.
Sometimes hitting x just once won't open the shoot, so anytime I jump off shit I'l spam it just for safety. Also, occasionally you'll spaw without your shoot deployed on some maps... make sure you hit x to avoid falling to your death. (but you could wait 'till the last second, and that way you'll have the vehicle of your choice because everyone else is still dropping in slowly)

Thanks guys. I just started (level 3) and it feels like I really have to put some time in before the game will open up for me. So much stuff is closed off at first, I really want to increase my playstyle options.

QUESTION ABOUT AIM ASSIST
I'm diametrically opposed to using any kind of auto aim or aim assist in console shooters... the very first thing I do in an options menu is turn that shit off. However, I realize this might put me at a disadvantage in competitive shooters -- I don't care. I'd rather earn my kills.
Anyway... does BC2 aim assist function in competitive mp? I don't even know... and honestly I don't care if people use it, but I had an idea the other day that maybe turning off aim assist is why my knife never fucking works ever.
90% of the time my knife attack is the generic "cut fence/break window" swipe animation and I very rarely get the stab attack. It gets me killed constantly, and for someone like me who now has every combat pin and almost ever patch I think it's messed up that I don't have 200 knife kills yet.
Can I blame lack of aim assist for this? :lol

Not an option for Seks.
@evolved- don't know about auto aim but knifing has been borked from day 1. when i was playing this weekend on Nelson Bay, I saw a guy down below, so i slipped down and landed on his head and was able to knife him. 9x out 10 I prolly would've missed it, can't believe I even tried. He was a level 50 we'd been playing against and he was trying to flank us, I had to give it a shot.

Nah, I saw the general thread list update and this was at the top. I figured you were talking about me.

Yeah... sigh
The best is when it actually does the whole stab animation with gore and sound effects and you're like "awesome" and then a second later you're like "oh shiiiiii wtf!?".

just like in 1943, you have to fall like 10ft before you can pull the parachute. mashing works too, since eventually, enough time will have passed.
i remember there was a chatroom... several iterations in fact... but people just stopped using them... maybe someone should bring it back!!!
Seks is chat really that bad? i mean, eve if it's slower, you can still alert everyone at the same time.
if you guys REALLY want to get some 2.0's, just game the system with a squad rush game on Atacama Desert. just get 4 people on the opposite team on the roof, then + shape C4 the ground floor with the explosive perk on. or maybe even squad deathmatch on Arica Harbor.
and speaking of the Pro Tube, i use it on Arica Harbor and White Pass Conquest sometimes too.

It's not bad in Blazblue (but no one on GAF uses the BBCS chat) or SSF4 as generally two people are focused on the match while everyone else chats about random things or the match ("OH MY! THE ULTRA 2!"), but in Uncharted 2 I always get a weird lag-time (upwards to 2-5 mins) in a match if I'm switching between the chat and the game. It's crazy. That's a Sony first party, I can't imagine Bad Company 2 with it. :/
I mean, yeah, it's beneficial but I've had that lag to where I'd rather in-game XMB, (name)->subject->usb keyboard, down, message, send PS button to exit in-game XMB dance it. :/
Edit: I really don't understand why text in-game chat isn't an option in console games. The last gen is over, to where I could let it slide as "online games" for consoles was new. But if you can't offer a disbaility/inclusion option from the 1990 PC era in addition to the "new shit"/2000 Voice Chat options in PC/Console games, you're a lazy developer. :|
It's not hard to have a "bind t/bind v" or whatever all/team/squad_say option. :| If you aren't going to have the controller option for mouse/keyboard in your console games, this is even easier to include as just plugging in a keyboard will give you a "say" message prompt like LBP1 eventually patched in.

I'm quite liking the Uzi (with Magnum Bullets).
Also stat server went down again on 360, just when Faceless was cheesing the fuck out of those bastards in Atacama Desert. :lol :lol

Haven't had aim assist on since the beta, but it does mean you need to be a bit quicker on the gun especially with shotties. As far as the knife, well my knife fails just as bad:lol

I'm sure this question's been asked and answered in this thread, but I'll ask again anyway.
Is the onslaught mode worth 400 points? I feel awful even thinking about buying a mode in a video game.

i use Magnum Ammo with Assault now since i'm not using the 40MM GL again until i platinum the 40MM SGN. i think the only time i ever used Magnum Ammo with Engineer was when i was trying to get the 5 UMP kills without dying pin on my way to getting the Engineer SpecAct Achievement/Trophy.Relaxed Muscle said:
i can't believe we were on THE LAST CRATE of Arica Harbor when the servers decided to go down! THE LAST CRATE@)#&@#&@
400 points? maybe... i mean, i guess you can practice flying, and it's kind of fun if you play with a squad. it definitely isn't worth 800. it's on sale this week?bluedeviltron said:

O yeah, Arica Harbor...I don't know I was thinking when I say Atacama Desert..., yeah, I was like:"fuck you bastards, this one is ours!!" and then blackout with the dreadful message of server connection lost...
And normally I don't use MA on Engineer rifles, specially if I'm with the UMP or the SA-91, but with the Uzi it helps a lot in close quarter battles.
Yes, alongside with the SPECACT weapons.

This is one of those moments when I'm thinking DICE can go fuck themselves.
On a much lighter note... faceless was a hero today. If not for his help in one particular AC Rush game I might have lost my shit. I imaging I was pretty annoying on the mic but you wouldn't believe the retarded, logic-defying shit that was happening.

Onslaught mode gets my seal of approval. If nothing else it's a pretty bitchin' practice mode, a million times better than SP in that respect. Should've been free, and you shouldn't have to be online to play it, but, yeah ... it's cool.
