Battlefield Bad Company 2 Clubhouse

I wanted to post my settings.ini because I wanted to know if anyone else uses similar settings. It still looks great with my setup but the reason I chose to put certain things to low or false is to improve my ability to kill you.

SNIP*

To each their own.. but that's pretty weak IMO. It's not like we're playing for money.

 

[johnnyfiive]

I feel like I can't see anything! lol Everything looks so awesome, I really do have a hard time spotting people. It's sad
But seriously though, if you have any issues running this game but you don't want to completely give up the awesome look of the game, give my settings a try.
Your FPS will improve no doubt.

I find the difficulty in seeing enemies is part of the experience. With your settings you would definitely be able to see better. Undergrowth and Overgrowth are the vegetation... without them enabled you see far too well. If I'm using my cammo to snipe from a bush where (on my screen) I'm completely hidden, in your screen I'm standing there like an ass waiting to be shot. With shadows on low enemies also just stand out.

Anyone who needs to run these settings to maintain a playable framerate is exempt from my nerd rage rant.

Since my system can run all High, 2xAA, 4xAF no hbao I wouldn't take any pride in kills achieved while running lowered settings.

Got my copy from game stop around 9:10pm on tuesday. And yes they were closed, but thats just a perk to having a girlfirend that works in a video game store. Gunna do the install tonight, damn school and work is getting the way of my pwnage once again!!

 

[brandonwh64]

Why do i only have a damn AK47? i cannot choose class or weapon? I HAS A FRICKIN SAD!

yeah you can... if it's multiplayer when the round first loads (after you click join) or in between deaths, on the waiting screen, click the little black bar with up arrows, above your current loadout. then you can customize the current class.

to the left of the loadout, is the class selection

assault
engineer
medic
recon

the loadout is at the very bottom of the screen i mentioned, that comes up while you are waiting to respawn or at the very beginning of the round.

Can't tell if you are trolling or being serious.

Hey you can't max that on your HD5770? Its sad to see that my settings are higher than yours on a 3000 series card, even if my res is low. You even put it on DX10.

If this bugs you, you should see my QuakeLive config. Thing is, I used to compete in the quake series so its a whole other tier of skill level. But yeah, I'll try all high today. I simply copied over my beta config. It looks so damn nice with everything on, I find myself looking more at the architecture then the enemies I'm supposed to kill.

Quake wasn't about camouflage though. With twitch shooters like quake where 99% (if not 100%) of the competitive players are running heavily modified configs it's different.

It doesn't really bug me that much but I think there should be a minimum level of vegetation and shadows on the maps that can't be removed thought client tweaks.

Nothing is removed, it just makes it easier on the system to render stuff. I'll take some pics for you guys tonight so I can show you what exactly makes it different. You can't blame me for exploring options DICE left in the settings.ini, especially if that means I get more FPS. BTW, how do I take screens, resort to fraps?

What I did was left every thing on high and true , but dropped to 1440x900. Still looks greats just not as wide as a field. Which I'm used to because in real life I'm blind in my left eye. Hey you two fella's does this game have moments of Crysis flashbacks while you are playing ?

Certainly does. I frickin' loved Crysis (first half..)! BC2 is like Crysis excitement overload but it actually runs good.

Same HERE! It feels just like Crysis or like what Crysis tried to be but failed. I too see and feel the relationship. Just think Crysis could have been BC2 quality.

No trolling here. it was the first server i joined would only let me use the AK then i went to a diffrent server and i could choose my class.

 

[AphexDreamer]

I still have a heck of time trying to connect to a server. I have to log in and out for ten times to join some random server with the chance of getting disconnected. Then sometimes my luck gets bad and I get Failed to Connect to EA server or really bad No Servers Available.

p p p please Dice... Give us a patch.

In DICE's defence they gave gamers this option for those who can't run the game maxed out. Ironically they're designed for performance balance while they're being used for graphical imbalance.

Overgrowth=low
Undergrowth=low

I believe (although I could be wrong) these 2 settings control the quantity and detail of vegetation. Over being trees and bushes and Under being grasses. I use FRAPS for my screenshots.
