I never seen anyone else on when I'm playing.

*cough*Get a PS3*cough* ;)

he list is just a "minimum". I can only be hopeful that other players will play helpful classes - that or they all play 12x sniper recon.

You'll be saying Medic is required when they start to flood in or break through your wall. White Pass is Medic/Assault/Recon required with strong teamwork. Engineer isn't useful on that map with the exception of trying to rocket snipe the UAV console.
 
yeah, in an ideal world, it would be 4 assaults on the outer perimeter taking people out before they get close, 3 recons sitting on ammo boxes spamming motion sensors and popping heads of people in the construction building, 4 medics spread in the base covering the area, killing anything that moves, and 1 engineer who just has to carl the shielded mg and UAV console.
 
Finished single player, it was enjoyable (played it on hard) but very linear even when they gave you a huge area to cover.

I keep seeing people who kill me as support or assault most of the time are using magnum ammo, I take it this raises bullet power? since I die rather fast by it. Love all the maps so far, game is superb online even when there is some noticeable lag it plays well, wish the knife animation was faster as I died way too often trying to rambo someone to have my knife miss.

EDIT IN: Demolish the roof next to m-come A so enemies can't climb up.

So that's what you asked me to do... :lol

I didn't hear you clearly either time. I'm like wtf... what roof is he talking about.

Sorry, I'm retarded.

So today after getting my ass kicked repeatedly by some guy deploying this kit, I decided to roll with the T88 and the red dot sight. Oh mah gawd. Finally a close range rifle that is actually useful, and with motion mines you're a fucking beast!

Went on to score over twice as much as anyone on the other team. Granted I was C4 whoring as well, but nonetheless. :lol

VSS with red dot > *

i don't usually roll with optics as a recon though, if i'm gonna play up close & personal, i use shotguns.

Yeah I jumped in using the gaf list, round only lasted about 5 minutes :lol

360 GAF needs to roll deep. 3-4 deep is a good start, but we need to roll real deep! like 8 deep with party chat and mics!




indeed, i always pick recon and spam motion sensors and blow up the wood plank on the right and the first few panels of roof so they can't use the ramps or right ladder. then i try and get to the construction building and blow up the walls parallel to the base on the 1st and 2nd floor and the 2 sets of perfect ducking height wood on the 3rd floor and roof. that helps make it easier to take out people trying to crate snipe from there. then if i get more C4 i'll blow up the wall between the road and the building. after that, if i die, i'll switch to mortars so i can take out the armored heavy mg.

I need to recover my mic, but my english is awful since I'm not a native speaker, but still I could hear you and receive intructions... or something :lol

Oh you were there? nice, the more the better.

Playing with randoms is getting more and more frustrating since it seems that more and more organized people is playing or rather the people that are left playing this game is the one more organized. My last match today was a nightmare, so it was on Port Valdez, we were getting tank sniper in our ass since first m-com set and not until the last fucking set that the fucking tank from the fucking first base wasn't destroyed...I swear that It seemed that I was the only guy trying to get rid of the fucking tank.

Even so I did pretty ok giving the situation, I did like 2k points (the best of my team) but the other team except one, did 2k+ points....

Well at least I got 3 tags,one being gold,and the 200 hundred people knifed medal......yeaaaaaahh

hey now, the best way to get better is doing it. that goes for playing battlefield and also for talking! every time someone says "my english isn't that good" it's usually more than good enough, especially considering the "vocabulary" of the typical english speaker on XBL/PSN.

5 Kills
14 deaths (one of them being Faceless blowing me up/suicide)

SMH.

That round sucked. :/ All the "RaW" team would do is try to steal the tank and then we had to take them out. Then they stuck around the construction site of Last Push to have to rocket snipe it. Ugh.

And I got shot through a train car where I only see the gun clipping through. Yeah, I'm done with BC2 for tonight. Screw that shit.

What's hilarious about that one is that their helicopter pilot landed on me (thought he was passing by and didn't know he was landing) roadkilling me (for the achievement, I guess) right when the server crashed.

He probably got the achievement, but not that stat update. :lol

Missed my edit. :(

Yeah. There were three _RaW's. One of them was using the clan tag. [RaW]H3rn3s3 or something like that, BROOKLYN_RaW and some other RaW I'm forgetting the name of. Their defense was going into our base to take the tank. I'm starting to think that's their only gimmick, but they shot me all over the damn place (Magnum Ammo, SMH) when I was trying to get into places and got into fire fights with them (non-MA, SMH DICE for this and the armor perk).

Yeah, they asked me to join a while back.

A lot of them just play conquest and attacama desert over and over again to get gaudy stats, check "Liveween" stats, they are a joke. He's played like 1500 games as an attacker, and 250 as a defender, has 27,000 kills and 16,000 of them are from the chopper.
 
MOTHER FUCKER.

-One day long ago, i ran into an Atacama desert Conquest server
-It was being railed by some guys in a chopper
-I spawn and were being spawned camped by it while they have zero flags
-The circle strafer's co-pilot jumps and steals our chopper.
-we get base raped by 2 choppers till game time out
-FUCK THAT CLAN MAY THEY SUCK MILES OF DICKS

so don't spawn at the base?

? whats the difference if my entire squad/team is in the base also getting circle strafed by two choppers while the rest of the team is pelting our base with vehicle ground fire?

Ok, let me rephrase: if they had zero flags and we were being spawn camped, i think its safe to assume that my team also had no flags otherwise we wouldn't spawn there.

my point is that these guys were literally padding on us for kills and wouldn't grab any flags just to prolong it all
 
Faceless' dog tags are now the pièce de résistance of my collection and I only had to wait till he got on a UAV, go behind enemy lines, knife him w/ one second left until I suicided, and get knifed twice by him in retaliation.

Don't have black ops so I can't decide on its "worth".
However, the bfbc2 community is still quite healthy.
Except for extremely odd weekday hours, you'll have no problem finding a decent sized to full game.

You'll also have no problem finding people to play with on the PS3, as that seems to be the most populated console among the regular bfbc2 players. Although things will be a bit quiet until the new map pack + expansion releases - or whenever the freshness of black ops/GT5/AssCreedBroHood dies down.

I'll rebuy this game when MP7 hits, I maintain that BC2 was multiplayer game of the year for me but I just got tired of the maps, and EA's unlocking of on the disk content under the disguise of actual DLC.

I'll keep reading the thread and when I do return I'll gladly join some GAF party chat session. Can't wait to play Oasis again.

It's tough to say. It depends what type of game you want as the gameplay of the two does differ pretty massively. If you want a slower, more thoughtful game then yes it's definitely worth it, but BC2 isn't just COD with vehicles, and I've seen my friends get turned off towards the game when they thought that wasn't going to be the case.

In my opinion, yes BC2 is leaps and bounds over BO, and you should make the swap.

Oh and the community is thriving on PS3, never hard finding a game.

Oh, man. This last days had been a hell to me. I just won like 10% of my games, hahaha.

But, really, sometimes my team.. aaaah, my team!!!! Why I do always get the bad team? The medics stand there when you are killed. No enemies in sight, but don't do anything to revive. The Coms activated... good thanks. I'm blowing Comms with my CG from far away and a f-in sniper blocks my sight because that's "his" place.

It remembers me the days when the demo launched.


Aaaah, but the enemy team. Well organized. They come in well assembled groups. And have a good sniper to back up. And they know how to place good C4.

Ok, therapy hour is over...

Just to serve as a warning, I added the GAF BFBC2 gamer tag to my friends list from work today and I'll be playing probably around 5 pm est when I get out. So if I join you and lose the game for the team, you have been warned. :lol

Thanks. I should say that I had BC2 when it came out in March, but didn't get much of a chance to play it. I think I've had my fill of COD though. I loved Modern Warfare and my good will towards that game has kept me buying them every year. I'm just sick of getting knifed across the map or getting shot from around corners.

it happens often enough on PS3... people either join the game everyone else is playing or ask to get an invite sent when a slot is open.

or even sit on the other team waiting for a chance to switch sides.

Gotcha, I didn't think you could join their game if the squad was full, so even if they had roster spots on the team, if they were 4/4 in the squad you couldn't join them. Course I only play with 1 other person usually so I'm not too familiar with large groups. But that would be really nice to have more communication.

You will love BC2 then. Sometimes people won't even be able to knife you in the back while you sit stationary in front of them.

yeah as long as there's space in the game, you can join. and if you're on a different team and a space opens, an invite or the join player menu will switch sides. if you're dead, you just switch, and if you're alive, you'll just auto suicide and switch sides.

if you haven't already, add GAF BFBC2 to your friends list and get ready to jump in. you can view the friends list of that gamertag and see if someone's playing, then go to their gamertag and if it isn't already showing, go to compare games then go back and "join session" should appear. may take 2-3 tries sometimes to get the join session to show.

How do I get into some GAF games on PS3?

The 360 friend request method doesn't work (unless I'm inputting it wrong). I assumed it would be the same method on PS#.

We usually just add one another. Once you get into a game with a whole bunch of Gaffers (every 1-2 weeks it happens, usually it's 3-6 players playing), you can then add people through the "players met" option on your friend list.

I won't be on for a week, so add me if you want:
