Battlefield : Bad Company Series

Well I can tell the difference between the light blue and the dark red 100%. The green squad mates names and the red are another story altogether.

I found playing today much much easier than yesterday and 100% better than COD MW2.
 
I suppose you could stay out of a squad to make things easier - or, does BF do that thing where if someone talks the animation on the map changes to show circles coming out of the player icon? That would help.

I should use my mic really, I've used it literally once since I bought it...
 
I could have done with having my mic in today as a few times I saw someone running to plant a bomb and died before I could 'spot' them or kill them.
 
They're kicking off people with the US beta who are playing it on EU accounts. I don't know if it's effecting everyone, but two people I know have been thrown off it.

What a load of arse, EA - we wouldn't have to use US beta codes if you hadn't made it so that the only way we can get them is by pre-ordering the game...
 
Does anyone else think it's a bit of a snipe fest? I don't know if you get to unlock ACOG scoped assault rifles later on, but the last game I had was dominated by snipers.

There are a few other ways, e.g. by monitoring the Twitter feed and grabbing a code when they're "kind" enough to post some, but they're usually used within seconds.

Yeah it was a bit snipey last time I played but not too bad. I had an instance where both ends of this area you had to get into were covered by snipers and nobody really stood a chance, but that's when you hope someone's got the brain to get a tank in.
 
Just had another session (sleeping can fuck off). Smashing fun. As good as MW2 is, there's nothing like picking people off from the dark of a two storey building, hearing a massive explosion and turning to see the wall completely gone and a tank aiming at your brain.

It's still quite snipey for my liking. I don't know what the fix would be to be honest, partly because I made a point of not taking that option myself, and partly because the map in question has a lot of high positions.

Tanks are also incredibly powerful (funnily enough). RPGs don't seem to take as much health off as I'd like, though I've never really been able to count just how many hits it takes, or see how much of a difference hitting the tank in the rear makes.

The main problem from the first game was lag, but even playing against presumably US people I haven't had a single problem. Just hope I don't get booted off now. Chris, did your mate try playing the beta with his US account?

The guys I know who have been chucked off did exactly what I did - started the download with a US account (you can't start it on an EU account, just says the code is invalid), then played it on the EU account from then on.

I've just checked now and I haven't been chucked off yet, which is random...
 
Haha I love throwing the land mines down on the long road that comes down between the buildings and turns left to the school bus and train area. I get so many multi kills from people who have all jumped into 1 jeep and are speeding down to both bombs.

Never gets old.
 
I'm really loving this now. Turns out that in trying to fix the awful turning (the player turns marginally faster than the Earth) I put the sensitivity way up and made shooting over a distance pretty impossible. I've put it back as a last resort before casting the beta from my mind, and had a simply brilliant time. My assault rifle antics are now pretty much exactly where I wanted them - marauding at close range but catching distant players (including snipers) unawares with burst fire to the brain.

I think everything's coming together for everyone else too, because today I've been playing with people who actually work together, against people who work together. Dunno if headsets were involved but certainly everyone seemed to be on the same wavelength. Tanks end up exploding rather than dominating, and snipers get marked on the map for all to see. Best of all, because everyone was quite closely knit, you ended up having these epic battles where ground is gained and lost, moving fluidly across the map as sides break through or flank each other.

I'm really glad I stuck with it, because it has now moved way up to guaranteed purchase. When I move back onto MW2 it'll be because of the one map, not the game.
 
I have another spare code.... use it or lose it.

It was a USA code. Someone must have taken it from here and not said thank you because here is the ONLY place I've posted it.
 
Don't forget guests can view this forum too. Apparently ignorant non-thank you saying ones. :)
 
Sweet, I'm going to miss the beta, don't have anything to fill the void.
 
Game were supposed to be still giving out beta codes right up until the 31st of Dec. Muppets.

You not got MW2 tobi?
 
I stopped playing it after my first session with this beta, couldn't readjust again and traded it for Ratchet and Clank.

The perks and 60fps is the only thing that MW2 has over this beta.
