well, there are tons of level 50 players. probably 10k players by now per platform have hit 50. it takes like 4-500 hours on average and the game's been out like 9 months.OldJadedGamer said:

Bro, I might just be able to join 360-GAF because I've only owned the PC-Steam version, and have wanted to play/own the 360 version for a while now... and I'm an achievement whore and I've a tendency to double-dip because I love digital copies of game.
The question is, is this the "ultimate edition" of the 360 version coming to on-demand?

i was under the impression that the 'ultimate edition' on 360 just comes with the dlc codes for the other stuff and the disk is the same as the original edition.Cuban Legend said:

well that is a shame, I'd prefer a digital copy via Games on Demand, but I'd also want the DLC without having to spend extra money for it. :/ Here's hoping PC-BC2GAF activity goes up because I'm probably going to be stuck on PC.

Heavy Metal Squad DM is awesome. so many buildings, it's like a little village on the hill!
yep, it's intense. the Squad DM version is action packed too.abuC said:

PC Gaf is usually on around 7 PM EST (US). We all got kicked like an hour in last night by punkbuster (normally it kicks within the first couple minutes if it needs an update so it was fucking weird). We had like two full squads though.Cuban Legend said:
Add me up here: http://steamcommunity.com/id/stallionfree/
Just played my first rounds of Squad DM.
I hate it. Probably because I didn't play with good enough people. Is it just bad luck that EVERY squad I end up with, has 3 fucking snipers? Or is it normal? They where even all hanging out at the same place!
PS3 BF-GAF, come online, form a squad, and kick ass with me in Squad DM.
Please. :,(

Ew. Squad-DM. Seriously? Fersis isn't here, man! Come back to Rush and Conquest!

No one plays Squad DM because it's a terrible mode. You want DM? Go to Call of Duty. Come to Rush and Conquest, those are Battlefield!

Yeah, I muchly prefer Conquest and Rush. A HUGE fucking amount. I guess it's no good being a trophy-whore at the same time. It's the only mode I have to win in to get that trophy. :lol
But probably better to do with randoms, and play the FUN modes with you guys.

You also on the mumble server? I joined it yesterday and played a few games with 3 GAF guys who were cool. Then i fell asleep at like 5pm from fatigue... if that's not where PC-BC2GAF meets up then where?Stallion Free said:

We are Mumble most of the night, but before that it will be ral quiet. I will prolly be on the mumble server from 5PM -2AM tonight, most of us will be, chilling in Tea Time or something. Once we have 4 or so people we pick what game we play and move around as a group. Last night we did Black Ops zombies till we had more than 4 than we switched to BC2 and accumulated like 8 people and then we all got kicked and we finished the night with about 6 of us playing AvP. That's how our mumble community rolls :lolCuban Legend said:

Yeah, what's up with the kicks? I didn't have any but my roommate would get them every 10-15 minutes.
Seems like a lot of console players don't like Heavy Metal...I'm curious what PC GAF thinks of it. My friend and I played a 1000 ticket game last night and it was utterly epic. I felt like a Battlefield 2 map. Rolling in with a tank and having two choppers backing you up, trekking across the hills, scanning control points for movement. And the chopper battles...my god. Utterly fucking epic. At one point my roommate and I were in the hind, clearing out a batch of snipers in the wooded crest at the middle of the map, and then got into a fight with an Apache. We ended up losing and both bailed, and on my way down, I RPG'ed a tank from my parachute and blew him up. The engy that was repairing him came at us with a shotgun and killed my friend, and then I got him. Even the enemy engy typed, "whoa...that was intense."
Had a major sour puss player last night on xbox 360, named xJustxInxTime or something. After being first in a match he sent me a message saying "lol you camp like a pussy". The thing is though I didn't have a squad so I could only spawn in camps and I had A B C capped so I was bouncing between A and B killing people. So I leave the match and join another and he follows me and attempts to grief me with shooting rockets at me; the thing is though he kept dying and I would get an avenger kill then defibrillator him so I was getting mad points. He then went to the other team and continued to finish last. So all in all it really backfired on him for being a jerk...

Just a quick test after the 1.7 gig update that i still know how to play it, I got to hop in at a better time for a longer haul with the GAF PS3 Posse.

It feels like the maps that I disliked in older BF games. I hate the wide open fields. Put in more villages and shit, streams passing through, anything to help the infantry a bit more.Mr. Snrub said:
Also, I took off in a helicopter and was shot down almost immediately by an AA turret that was at the opposite teams spawn
I had just barely reached the first cap point. PC players are crazy efficient at taking out choppers.

Ok sounds good. I've added you. I'll be on tonight for at least 3 hours between 5pm and 2am.Stallion Free said:
Yesterday... Mr. Snrub asked me on steam what my BC2 soldier-name was then I joined the mumble server and he was one of the 3 guys i played with yesterday afternoon before i fell asleep. It was amazing.
This is me on steam, I've added you http://steamcommunity.com/id/Cuban_Legend I hope that is ok, anyone from PC-BC2 GAF who wishes to add me, feel free. I actively play TF2 and BC2 along with more steam games.

It's definitely not up to par with the good-great BF2 maps but at this point I'll take it. Haven't tried conquest with any of the other new maps yet. Mostly played Harvest Day, one short round of OASIS, and Heavy Metal. Was gonna try Cold War but my friend got tired of being kicked.
That's what happens when you land your attack chopper, have yourself near it, I KILL YOU. Then take it back to our base, wait for Faceless to spawn on me (SMH spawning on base instead of me. :|) and then we win. :lol :lol :lol

Ever since I optimized my PCBC2, everything runs at nearly max FPS even during action.
Not only that, but having only the soldier detail and vehicle detail on high allows for easy spotting of enemies against low quality terrain/vegetation backdrops.
Now I'm considering swapping the static object and overgrowth detail to "medium" because the LOD pop-in on "low" is a bit distracting while moving around a level...
Yeah, before I left yesterday afternoon, we had a few good games with your buddy on that server that was rotating the new maps that have Conquest Mode (Cold War is not Conquest compatible though) It was very fun indeed.
My BC2 Soldier name is "Cuban Legend", add me if you havent already. the "561" and "007" variants are my secondary accounts.

Harvest Day Rush is a little more of a throw back to the BF map style I prefer where it is quite wide and there is a lot of play space, but they have a ton of stuff to use as cover. Plenty of shrubs, small hills, a stream, and tons of trees around the side. You can do some serious flankingMr. Snrub said:

Cold War is insanely tight and batshit insane from the bit I was able to play. Clusterfuck with 32 players the way that infantry only Karkand was with 64 players on the first CP.

I like it, and I am pretty much a Rush only player. The way the map is laid out, and the large distances you have to travel mean that it plays out a lot more like a rush attack/defense than most of the conquest games I have played where any number of people can be headed to any point at any time from any direction. There seems to be more of an ebb and flow with an actual 'front' to the battle. Plus I love killing vehicles, which makes nearly all the new maps great for me.Mr. Snrub said:

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
Ugh... my internet is crap today. Keep getting dropped. I was beasting in a couple of those round too. :/
SCAR is a pretty good SMG... never use it. I'll be golding that one pretty quick.
About Heavy Metal... frustrating map when there are a bunch of engineers w/ tracer + explosive damage perks. And there isn't much CQB, so must people are running w/ EXPL+

Agreed. It's fucking awesome. However <20 players it was kind of slow. 32 players on it's by far the best Conquest map. So epic.Mr. Snrub said:
Love how the Blackhawk is finally in Conquest again, after all these years. They should put more barriers between the spawn AA guns and the flag closest to the enemy spawn though. It's irritating how they can reach that far, like the other helis, tanks, tracers, AT4, B's AA gun, etc, etc weren't enough. Ugh.Gametrailers has some Vietnam gameplay videos up:

Completely forgot about this game. I barely had any chance to play it because my disc broke like a week after I bought it. Never bothered getting it again for some reason.
I may pick this up when Vietnam hits. Would getting into Multiplayer so late be hard? Is everyone a beast at this game now?
