on hardcore you can see if they need ammo or health when you look at the person cause it pops up above there head. been playing assault alot and when there meter is low and it shows the bullet symbols then i know they need ammo

I know you can see that small icon above their head when bullets are screaming past your head and your worried about 2 - 3 bullets from the weakest guns killing you, it's just the last thing most people are going to think about. I run around hammering Q on people screaming at them I need ammo on normal mode, and that means theres an ammo box flashing on my head, and an ammo box flashing on their map, and yet they still rarely drop one, sometimes I have to yell in team talk, and even then, sometimes that don't work.

Like I said the key word in your sentence was "good", when your playing with a ton of people you know, you can trust you will get what you need. But when your playing with random people, you rarely do. I don't like the increased damage model, just plays out too fast, Medics health packs are basically pointless, I rarely get the ammo I need, motion mines don't work. And when you die you get to see a sweet grey screen. I just don't like the mode. I play games because they are games and not real, this normal just allows the team work I'm looking for, well actually it usually doesn't, but it provides more than HC.

What El Fiendo says, the mouse I had went for days on end without needing to be recharged. And even if I forgot to charge it, I could just put it back on the charge base as I was waiting to respawn after dieing and that would be enough to last to the next death.



I loved my MX Rev, was a great mouse, and unbelievably comfortable. My Alienware Tactx now is nice, but I don't like it as much.



I think the opposite, I'm not really playing the game for complete realism. I like supporting others and marking people, team work and such. On HC its too much of a COD FFA without anyone looking out for others.

See, what I was wondering is that Im interested in the Razer Mamba. It has 14hr continuous gaming, 72hr normal battery life and you can plug in the usb attached to the charging stand to turn it into a wired mouse and play while it charges. What do you think? I have my trusty G5 but want to go wireless. I found a few vendors who will sell it for ~$90

if i were to get a wireless mouse the mamba is the only one i would buy.

What do you think about the MOH beta? Is it like COD4 +/-? worth it?

Sounds like a sweet mouse, that USB trick is pretty cool.

My mamba lasts 4 hours at best with the battery its f'n terrible mouse. Dying to exchange it for an mx revolution.

yep i was curious how those claims really stacked up ... with all the technology out there why the hell cant they make a battery that actually lasts or some new tech for wireless stuff

They have, it's been talked about in the last page, and he's looking at it now, the MX Rev

i too, find hardcore total and utter crap. all it does is encourage camping and sniping.

Play on a clan server (join em if you have to) with a no base raping/spawn camping rule, and away you go.

Agreed, most HC servers I'm on are sniper infested, and most normal servers already have enough Snipers as it is. It's nice to have a few of them, but in the end, they don't cap flags, and with everyone just sitting back sipping on a cold one in a lawn chair and looking down a scope, nothing gets done, and the few poor brave souls that wander out are just asking for it, while everyone else wants to sit back and not play the game.

 

[Perra]

I play both modes, HC can get a lot more frustrating though, especially on rush maps. I tend to yell and complain a lot more when playing HC

The one thing I can't stand on a normal server though is the stupid kill-cam. Sure it isn't a realistic game but come on? That's just ridiculous. Wish there was an option in the server browser to filter out kill-cam servers. Now it goes like: Join, kill-cam on, quit, join, kill-cam on, quit. It can get a bit annoying, especially when all my favourites are full.

yeah theres a bug/bad design choice where if you change certain settings (kill cam and FF being two) in a server, it shows as hardcore even if its not hardcore...

I put my money on your playing mostly Recon.

Actually no, havent even unlocked everything for recon, Assault is my favourite actually

I just don't think kill-cam has anything to do in a game like this. It's a great addition to Team Fortress 2 cause it suits the whole game. But here? I don't want to find out where that recon is sniping me from through a lame game-mechanic. I want to find him myself and stab him in the back, so much more satisfying

I agree with stabbing snipers (look at my 2nd most killing weapon ), but without a kill cam, it promotes hiding rather than playing the game. No one wants to die, so everyone just hides and snipes, been in a lot of HC matches like this and just kills the fun factor of the game. Kill Cam makes Recon work for their kills, and has little effect on others, just keeps the game going at a nice pace and keeps people from camping like crazy.

My favourite-server is a core-server (or whatever you call it, Non-hardcore perhaps? ) with kill-cam off. And there's not more camping there than on kill-cam servers. I just think it kills the atmosphere of the game. But to each his own, right?

I do agree with you on HC though, probably cause you only need a bodyshot to kill someone when sniping. There's always a ton more recons on HC-servers than on normal ones. Played a rush-match last night and we were losing badly while attacking, then we switched as usual and we were defending. We would have been run over if it wasn't for the other team consisting of 80%+ recons just sniping. Sometimes it feels like Hardcore should be renamed Noobcore or perhaps HardcoRecon :shadedshu

I also don't play Rush, that could be where our difference of opinion comes in. You play on more concentrated maps where there aren't many good sniping spots, and when you find one, it sucks that you have to instantly move. I play on the large maps, and I ain't going to run on foot in the wide open across a map to get to a single sniper, which is what most others think to, so sniper keeps on a sniping.

I don't really like Rush, just to linear, and zergfest, it always ends badly, I can use space to destroy people in Conquest, but in Rush there is no space, just "run down this firelane". And one side almost always seems to have a massive advantage, I don't like the feeling of being crushed because of a map setup, I like to over come odds, but most of those maps certain points seem thats to hard to do without an awesome team, which most aren't.

On Rush, non-HC without a kill cam wouldn't bother me much, don't really need it there, only so many hiding spots.

I agree with you on rush, not the most fun you can have but conquest gets boring too after a while and Team DM is only fun when you have a good squad. Oh and the no kill-cam favourite server of mine is conquest only
Maybe I've been playing with kill-cam off for too long not to notice the difference in camping and such other silly behaviour. I'll try out a kill-cam server tonight, see if I notice any difference and perhaps change my mind

twitter.com/Bazajaytee: "Regarding the BFBC2 PC patch. We will have something by the end of tomorrow in terms of our plan of getting the patch out to you all."
twitter.com/Bazajaytee: "@GamerOfFreedom More info on when it will release. We won't release it on a Friday."
twitter.com/Bazajaytee: "@ksergeyk 'Something' as in when we plan to release the patch to you."
twitter.com/Bazajaytee: "@BenediktElser Nope, by tomorrow we should have a release date of when it will be released though."

And now for something completely different...

twitter.com/Bazajaytee: "@N1ghtmare24 i doubt mod tools will come out during BFBC2's life cycle, unranked servers on the other hand might do but not for a while."

Edit:

forums.electronicarts.co.uk

By the end of tomorrow we will have something to tell you regarding the release date of the patch.
Kalms is going to do some work before we can discuss our solution but we may roll back one of the changes so we can get the current changelog out and work on that one remaining issue after.

That will allow you to get most of the fixes and features which you have been waiting for including access to Map Pack #3.

Anyone care to guess what feature drops from the patch?
