I personally find any kinds of addon sights irritating in BC2, so I'm pretty interested.

Servers have been spotted with map names such as "Harvest Day" and "Oasis" apparently. So new maps apparently, and from BC1! I'm pretty excited tbh.

I saw that, looks pretty cool

However i keep getting disconnects at the moment, every game i play it disconnects right near the end, which sucks D:

Oh nice, coz BC2 has some of the worst maps Ive ever played on, just bottle necks for people to get slaughtered with vehicles and snipers. BC1's oasis is one my all time favourite maps, if they bring back strike at karkand I may just start playing it again

Turns out it's not just Oasis and Harvest, but two maps converted from Singleplayer. And it's free!

They look good.

They do indeed, the patch notes also look good.

Theyve finally given in and gave the m14 and g3 red dots/acogs

Gonna start replaying BC2 again.

Is it just me, or is it that people suck more in BC2 than CoD?

It tends to be because squad gameplay is more rewarded in BC2 (medic, ammo, anti-tank, recon drones), you need everyone to chip in to do well, where as in CoD it's more of a sole experience. Yeah you can play team games, but your team mates tend to be used as a distraction or a meat shield to get more kills for yourself (which isn't a bad thing, it's just a different kind of game play).

In short, people generaly don't work together (especially with randoms), so you are less likely to do well in a game which requires heavy teamwork.

I'm just downloading the patch now, should be good fun

That could re-start a whole world of pain in this topic.

Just as TheDr. said, the best players are those that quad up and work together. The best games I've had in BF:BC2 were where I just repaired vehicles as an engi and came out top scorer. Working as a team is infinitely more beneficial than other FPS games. Shame that others haven't factored that into their game play tbh

I thought this patch might fix it but I still disconnect from nearly every game right near the end when it starts to get good. I would play the game all the time if that didn't happen D:

The only mode I liked in Bad Company 2 was the one were you attack/defend the M-Com Stations, but that was ruined by douchebag sniper wookies hiding up in bushes on top of hills.

If they release a patch that fixes people's mentality then I'd give it another go. Seriously, though, they need to cap the amount of players that can play Recon because selfishness gets in the way of the objective based nature of the game.

Recon isn't always sniping. Even though that is the only class that can use sniper rifles, I personally have either a SMG or Shotgun on my recon depending on the map, and with the Motion Sensors, good recon players can easily spot any threat heading your way. But yeah, everyone still plays them as Snipers, which is what ruins the game

I feel your immense pain on this subject, but they can only snipe you and your squad so quickly.


The new maps are absolutely amazing, they're MASSIVE and still intense, my favorite so far has got to be Harvest Day. The Tanks, the sheer size, and it looks pretty amazing! Heavy Metal is also a lot of fun with all the Helicopters. Can't say I like Cold War TOO much, but it was fun, it did however have a single flat bed truck for Attackers that I think wasn't supposta be there but it's still badass to run people over with it. And Oasis on both modes is still as fun as ever, I really love it on Conquest, big yet still small at the same time.


For those of you that played when the game came out and thought "Jesus Christ the hit reg sucks", try it again, it's definitely improved. And if you want a bunch of people to play with, UvT Ventrilo is also open for business.


Edit : On the note of Recon : Actually, Recon got the nerf stick hard, the mortars are less effective and take awhile to recharge, the 1hit kill range was reduced dramatically as well.

Got ya. It's like he said, sometimes my teammates just stand there so idiotically, I just use them as meat shields >.<

Somewhat unfortunate that we don't have that many PS3 players here.

Did anyone else receive an invite to the closed beta for the F2P Battlefield game? I just got one today.

Yup, every game I try to connect to is full
