brida Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 So, with the expansion/dlc coming out in a few days, I would expect some renewed interest in the game--rightly so, probably (my pick) for shooter of the year. Who is getting Vietnam? Setting up playdates/teams would be a-go, too. Hope you have your inner pyro ready at hand cos it's going to be a hot motherfucker.

AusKossy Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 No more constantly playing Rush on Valpairso for me. I can't wait for Vietnam. £10 for all that too is pretty good, especially in comparison to MW2 players dishing out the same amount for just 5 new maps...

xxnevmorexx Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 ill deffinatly be picking it up(360), I dont know why i ever stopped playing BFBC2, its so much fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheForgetfulBrain Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 The first BC was pretty much my favorite MP shooter of all time. It didn't have all the bells and whistles of the CoD games, but the enviro destruction added so much, altering the strategy every time you played the same map. I loved it. Unfortunately, after I maxed out level in BC2, it didn't have the same staying power for me. I also didn't like the single player's tone as much as the first game (though these games really aren't about the SP, as much as they'd like to be - though Vietnam might be different on that front). I might give it another shot though if I pick up the expansion. I've got it on PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Rat Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I took a break from BC2 after I got banned from two servers in a row. 1) Server rules say no baserape, everything else is a-ok. I fire 4 or 5 rockets against infantry, instaban. 2) Server rules say anything goes. I kill the admin with a rocket (who was, by the way, walking in the middle of the motherfucking street in plain sight), instaban. Fucking scrub houserules. I'll probably get back into it when I'm done with a few more SP games. I'm godawful with Recon and I like the Medic and Engineer classes. I'm not really that good with Assault. Not sure when I'll be getting Vietnam though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaunchOctopus Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I fire 4 or 5 rockets against infantry, instaban. I love body shotting people with my RPG, even if it makes me feel like a dick! I'll definitely be getting Vietnam, been playing it regularly since release, though not regularly enough to be rank 50 On ps3 btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaunchOctopus Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 well i mean the most hated thing in the game, i would say, is carl gustaving. fuck that shit. Me too, Carl Gustav is the 2nd most annoying thing in the game after UAV Alt-Fire I'm talking strictly RPG-7 I don't remember ever using any of the others come to think of it?

Mister Jack Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I stopped playing for a while because my wifi was getting me a ping over 1000+. I think I figured out how to fix it by changing the channel, but I just never got around to playing it again. I'd probably still have to change the channel every so often, which is kind of annoying.

xxnevmorexx Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Does anyone know how the "skill rating" is calculated? i swear it gives me much more credit than i deserve. Also whats everybodies favorite weapons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brida Posted December 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 The skill rating is absolutely trash. Nobody knows how that shit works. Assault: M16SA + shotgun underbarrel, unless we're in a destruction zone in which case 40mm grenade Engi: Uzi Medic: This is a question? M60 Sniper: 1H1K-M24, up close and personal then VSS Unless I'm playing 'blow the base up' in which case the assault has that first shotgun you unlock + C4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaunchOctopus Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 M16 and 40MM Shotgun for Assault Uzi for Engineer M1 Garand for Recon (I use it across most of the classes tbh), or the first one I've forgotten for actual sniping M1/Thompson/G3 for Medic Grach for pistol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxnevmorexx Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 The skill rating is absolutely trash. Nobody knows how that shit works. ok good cause it has me at 200 constantly and i dont think im in the top 5000 players in the world thatd be stupid.... assualt i use the f2000 with shotgun attachment engineer pp-2000 or M14 with acog medic M60 sniper either the SVU with an acog scope or the M24 my number one gun though? the M1911 pistol with 1474 kills the next closest is the SVU with 1115 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brida Posted December 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 first thing i plat' was the knife latest thing i plat' was the anti tank mines...otherwise every gun i use save for the vss, shutgun or uzi are plat' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxnevmorexx Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 im just god aweful when it comes to knifing in this game hence my most used weapon being a pistol, ive given up on it and only use it as a last resort. I could never stand the VSS though, not sure how anyone could use it but plenty of people do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartless Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I absolutely love Bad Company 2...online. The single-player is such a stiff, boring shitfest it's honestly kind of off-putting. I love playing as an Engineer. Anyone else on PSN feel free to add and invite me.

brida Posted December 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 i truly do not understand why people have such boners for engineers also as with most shooters i didn't even bother turning on the SP, i knew i would hate it.

Cyber Rat Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I mostly have a boner for engineers because of repair tool kills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartless Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 i truly do not understand why people have such boners for engineers also as with most shooters i didn't even bother turning on the SP, i knew i would hate it. Tool kits, rockets, silenced weapons. Hell-oooo. What do you play as? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheForgetfulBrain Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 i truly do not understand why people have such boners for engineers In the first game, they were absolute tits. With the last gun you unlock, the super fast one (p2000 or something? been ages since I played), you could dash around and take folks out better than the shotgun at close range, then rig the chests with a ton of C4 till they blew with a few other engies or respawns, avoiding the alarm. Didn't quite work that way in the sequel, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheForgetfulBrain Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 You're also packing the lowest stopping power and are very squishy True - I remember it working for me at the time though. BC1 was the only game I could come in first on the scoreboard fairly consistently. It's a shame you're on the console! Otherwise we could duke it out. Although, come to think of it, I don't remember which class I was playing most frequently in BC2 last. I'm also not as good at the second as I was at the first.

Heartless Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 You're also packing the lowest stopping power and are very squishy Doesn't matter because you're not getting flanked after opening fire and you have the satisfaction of knowing that your constant destroying tanks is really pissing people off.
